Eh?
# First motorsport vehicle in the world to ship with integrated IP connectivity
# Core operating system is open source Linux
# USB based system bus allows a virtually unlimited number of peripherals to extend the capabilities of the machine with plug’n’play

I like It's like a transformer

The TTX02 ships with a built in web server that is integrated with the management system. You can log in remotely over the web or locally via your PC or phone for access to all motor parameters and configuration.

Note that it's the first 'superbike', far from the first production electric bike.
£26k or so for a 'race' one it seems.

110kg without batteries - which oddly enough are by far the heaviest element in the bike .

[rac3r]

So does it sound like an RC car then?

I think it means "81bhp all the time".
As long as it is fast I don't care what it runs on. Coal, wood, petrol, battery...

Tbh, I like the sound of IL4's. Which the battery won't do.

And house in KTM chassis and fairing? Why? Could they not make their own?

as nice an idea electric bikes are, unless you can charge them in less than 2minutes no ones going to buy one.

you have to step forward not backward and a vehicle that can only do 150 ish miles than requires 2 or more hours to recharge is a step backwards.

plus.. where does everyone think the electricity comes from

not only that but the batteries are terrible things. cant be recycled (as far as i've been told) so will end up in landfill with all those chemicals seeping into the ground.. nice

hardly 'green'

oh if only they could invest a bit more in hydrogen fuel cell tech and storeage. now that is a green solution thats worthwhile.

Sounds like a milk float, I hope they never make it to the show rooms.

[m0l0t0v]

Fair.


It's still shit though

The basic electric engine is very simple. But the energy storage mechanism is very inefficient in regards to space/weight.
An ICE is relatively complex, but the fuels they use are much more efficient as far as space/weight needed.

I'm presuming a lot of the £26k has gone towards lipo batteries; otherwise there doesn't seem a massive amount to justify the price.

I plan to build my own at some point next year, possibly with a deisel generator / engine and a hybrid electric turbo. It's not going to be cheap and chances of electrocution is worryingly high

Conventional energy (petrol etc):

Pollution comes out the back of cars & bikes, so catalytic converters etc are needed for every car. These are expensive and heavy reducing efficiency.

Heavy fuel source is taken with you requiring the use of fuel.

Improvements in efficiency must be applied to every vehicle.

Electrical power:

Energy can be generated in a small number of locations that can have efficiency improvements made to it whenever. Pollution can be reduced greatly at these sites by using carbon capture etc.

Not limited to a single energy source.

Taking energy with you is in some cases optional. e.g. overhead power cables, 3rd rail etc for trains.

Currently the only thing limiting the use of electric vehicles is how shit batteries are. This is also something that isn't likely to improve much in the next 20-30 years. Hydrogen fuel cells are a viable alternative as the process becomes:

Energy source -> Power plant -> Electric -> hydrogen which gets stored in the vehicle -> electric power for vehicle.

Yes that is all still dependent upon a power source, but it is not limited to any single power source meaning we can use oil and coal whilst it lasts, then swap to solar, wind, nuclear without having to make everybody int he world buy a new car.

That bike was almost silent round that bend, I named thee, tenchu, stealth assassin.

[temeluchus]

If they manage to get extremely high capacity batteries, or small high output hydrogen cells going and we go electric the will loud exhaust chavs will be putting speakers on to play annoying loud noises instead?

They fit noise generators to some electric vehicles as their silent operation is very dangerous to pedestrians and sometimes other road users anyway.

ms51ves3: why does it need 500 miles? Are you teaching it how to be a piston?
