Sort of cool
150mph, 100kw with 144lb of torque.. Dayum..

30 min charge time apparently.
Didn't notice anything saying the mileage it gets though on 30 mins of charge..

It has internet connectivity

I like it, really like it

[daemonoid]

The text below the video says 120 miles of 'real world riding'. Rather a bold claim for a 30 min recharge...

The movies on netflix at the moment, worth a watch if you're interested in all the geeky techy side of this stuff.

It has potential, but I'd like to see how that charging system is meant to work. Some of the claims made seem a bit wild.

On a side note, check out the test ride video, and put on the dynaimcally translated subtitles; it's a like an even more surreal version of the bad lip reading videos.

I bet for a good chunk less money you could get your ICE bike made in to a similar spec.

The batteries are the main cost, as ever.

It has 11.7kwh.
It says 85% charge in 30 mins.
So that's charging at 19.89kw or 82 amps at 240v if it was 100% efficient.
So that's the equivalent of over 6 sockets all running maxed out.

I still don't see why it would appeal to anyone bar the super-rich and above.

Also, '258 kg'.
That's midway between a sports bike and a lightweight car.
If I'm going to have all that weight I want silly amounts of power, not a bit, which can be used for a short time.

It's a concept bike that will be produced in small numbers and cost the same as the other highly desirable limited production Italian exotica - they're going after the buyers of short-run Ducatis and Benellis, or someone that would buy a mint restored Laverda.

I'm happy with that. It's a step in the right direction. The next step is to produce something like a much prettier CB500 for about £15k, and then for the Japanese manufactuers to produce an ugly version of same for about £9k.

At that point, some people will buy them.

I can think of some crafty ways around the new licencing laws here too. If someone can bring out a bike which is compliant with some category in the new laws, but easily hacked/derestricted to make more power, kiddies will buy them.

60kg lighter at a price of about £12k and I think they might get somewhere. Otherwise...

0-62 in under 3 inches, that is very quick

[pinkyfloyd]

Call me old fashioned but I would rather a petrol powered bike over an electric one. Yes it looks good. But unless you have a garage with a power supply its next to useless. I dont. I dont fancy rigging up an extension lead to charge it up at nights and leaving it running from my flat window to the street.

Just an recent observation, why does every battery powered motorcycle have a big bright LCD screen on it?

I know it might be stupid but when I take my phone, the 3.5 inches LCD takes about 25% of the battery life, backlight set on dim. I mean, if that LCD on those bikes mean it can do less miles, what is the point of having it? It's like having a motorcycle that intentionally spits fresh petrol into the exhaust, just because it looks cool.

But again, feel free to call me stupid, I don't know a thing about electric powered things.
