Imagined 400 mile range, 0-60 in 3.2 seconds, 180mph top speed, weight 350 pounds. £8000 (£6000 for "supporters").

Rendered by the same team that rendered RainPal...

100% EcoSafe..... meaningless statement. Unless it is made from 100% recycled parts with 0% energy production costs, used consumables can be recycled with zero cost, etc inf.

Hope the Aarons have upgraded the battery spec on this tho, and if it's not a delusional AA-esque fantasy, would like to actually see one!

I like that bit at the end of the video, a street view image with a CGI bike flying past Yeah I think they should take a literacy class before they try to build a motorcycle.

The downside to electric vehicles is the added weight, I wouldn't imagine that it's going to be great handling, even if it ever made it into production.


Edit: I checked and it's claimed 160kg. If they achieve that, then it may well be a flyer.

£5,999 if you get in early.

Adam, is that you?

Big on ideas, small on technical details.
I wonder what the mysterious different battery technology is?

120hp getting you to 180mph?
That's down to the fairings. Entirely possible. But I'd be confident not with the fairings they've 'designed'.

For the battery, lets assume to be very kind that the capacity shown is usable capacity and it's 100% efficient. Their claims suggest 52.5wh to get you one mile.
That seems to be less than most claim for current models - however would be considered bad for an electric push bike, so perhaps they're basing it on going very slowly?

Its easy, they use batterypal batteries

[Azoth]

What's this? The Russian mafia want in on some Rainpal? Where's ma muhnnny?

I can see this working. I mean, as a lure to drag in the preorders of a nonexistent product from hardworking and stupid donkeys. I suppose a fool and his money are easily parted.

The annoying thing is, it isn't even a good scam.

I could imagine it working as a scam if:
If it the website was better designed, with more convincing videos and tech bits

52.5wh per mile is terrible compared to any of the e bicycles we sell at work.

Having tried a number of brands over the years we tend to ignore the claimed range and give a real world use age of approximately 100wh to go 13 miles for normal usage.
Using a e mountain bike for proper mountain biking kills the range, its more like 100wh for 7 miles.

If they really have this new and great battery technology, all the need to do is licence the technology to other people and they got their funding. In fact, that is the most important invention they have here, not an electric motorcycle.

That's reasonable then.

Get up to 1kw or whatever and of course the increased speeds lead to decreased range efficiency.
