Agility Saietta R (Electric bike)

[Yoyo]

Just been reading about this in 100% Biker mag.
It actually sounds pretty good, and the writer says he beat 2 Blades off the line.

96.5bhp,
93.7 foot pounds of torque,
0 - 60 in 3.9 seconds,
220kg weight.
100mile range, plus 12mile reserve,
3 - 8hrs charging time, for 45p

The styling is a odd, but does actually look pretty good. But my guess would be it still needs a bit more work to be true competition for petrol bikes.

It's ugly as fuck. I'd be ashamed to be seen out on that thing, even with my lid on.

I dunno, add a pair of horns on the front and it'll look like a charging bull, badass

I made a thread about them a while back, I met the designer and have sat on one. I really considered it but im not sure the technology is there yet.

Electric bikes aren't complicated or fancy, as they often like to be portrayed.

It's just like an electric forklift, but in a different order.

The blade riders obviously didn't know what they were doing (or weren't racing) if he beat them with a 0-60 of just under 4 seconds.

Electric bikes absolutely make sense as a cheap way to get about town.
But, for them to be cheap, we're talking making your own - not spending many thousands just to save a bit on fuel.

Yeah…… that is really interesting styling

The action pics with a rider on it seem to actually make it look a bit better though.

I for one, will not be placing an order! It's almost like they've taken a step backwards - other electric bikes that I've seen (although some may just be concepts) seem to look more like our petrol engines machines, normal and well styled.

Nearly 14 grand +vat. Are they taking the piss?

Looks like they mounted a fat-faced ducati 999 on a buell

100 mile range already lost interest from me, i'd be needing to charge it in the middle of a field every few hours.

top speed 80mph

fuck off

I bet you'd get a few SMIDSYs on one of those.

I decided to see how far I could get from a 60mph roll on in neutral on the way home down my road. Got me home but I got pulled out on twice as the bike was making no noise.

I'd love an electric bike, I only work 6 miles from home so could charge it once a week.

But I'd still have to pass my test, I haven't got £14k and I'd rather folk took the piss because I was going slow on a 125 and not because I was riding a hideous looking electric bike!

There's a company called zero who make em and theirs are quite conventionally styled and with a range of up to 126 miles could work for most of us to commute on.

Still need a full licence and still not cheap tho!
