Moderators PTR200S Posted November 30, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 Some ugly fekers to be sure , bit like some of the ugly cars that are seemingly crowding the market place, but the bike market has to get better as all internal combustion engine bikes are also on the 2030 chopping block. The Harley Davidson Livewire is one of the better ones plus the "Zero" bike company has some interesting stuff like the Zero S/RF...lots of scooters in this market too, easily hidden batteries and aimed at the casual rider / commuter. The auto is king too, just like the cars, not sure I could live with that BUT they are fast with a capital FF !!! https://www.motorcyclenews.com/advice/best/electric-motorbikes/ https://www.harley-davidson.com/gb/en/products/bikes/electric-bikes.html https://www.zeromotorcycles.com/en-gb Like the cars they are really expensive compared with their ICE counterparts, £15 grand plus, 200 mile range average, 1.5 hours recharge, really cheap to run..... 2.6 seconds 0-60 , how does that sound !!

Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted November 30, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted November 30, 2020 That's a more useful range on the bikes at least. 1 hour ago, PTR200S said: 2.6 seconds 0-60 , how does that sound !! Sounds like someone has nicked my Rover! That's pretty quick, dragster territory really. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted December 18, 2020 Author Moderators Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 This is not a Honda Cub but it looks pretty close, Chinese offering in electric powered form Not much info yet on it but this is it . https://www.rideapart.com/news/460934/csc-monterey-electric-scooter-launched/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted December 18, 2020 Moderators Report Share Posted December 18, 2020 Looks a useful commuter bike, ideal for people who would normally have bought a petrol but want to wave their (allegedly) green credentials around in the office. Being Chinese though, will you want another 2 hours later and errr................... "You wan' sore finger wi' tha'?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators PTR200S Posted February 9, 2022 Author Moderators Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 The Triumph TE 1 is ready for testing apparently. Been some time since any info been put out but looks good with around 170bhp and 220kg. 120 mile range is not enough really, small tank of fuel range with no ability to fast refill of a few minutes like petrol...difficult if you are out on a Sunday run !!! Batteries and associated stuff have Williams Advanced Engineering hands all over them so should be good....except the range of course but which is better than most EM !! The main point us it actually looks like a "real" motorcycle, not some futuristic cartoon superhero bike !! https://www.triumphmotorcycles.co.uk/for-the-ride/brand/project-triumph-te-1/phase-3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Laird_Scooby Posted February 9, 2022 Moderators Report Share Posted February 9, 2022 I see Integral Powertrain are involved too - i wonder if that's the same Powertrain that used to be part of BL and latterly Rover Group, rebranded after being hived off by BMW? If so, expect it to also leak oil, like a proper British bike should! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators PTR200S Posted October 26, 2022 Author Moderators Report Share Posted October 26, 2022 This looks interesting from Honda, swappable power packs... https://www.rideapart.com/news/618448/honda-swappable-battery-charging-station/ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
