MotoCzysz Unleashes the E1pc Electric Motorcycle
Powered by a hot-swappable lithium battery pack, the E1pc Electric Motorcycle by MotoCzysz will race in the TTXGP competition using its latest green technology that makes it completely emission-free.
The sexy bike is a great combination of brilliant aerodynamics and a low weight (carbon fiber and aluminum) chassis, that allows it to carry 125 kg of lithium batteries and still manage to output some 115 hp of power and as much as 300-ft-lbs of torque. Reaching a max speed of 150 mph on a single speed gear box and 175 mph on a multi-speed gear system, the lightweight E1pc is definitely competitive on track.
While designed keeping the requirements of the TTXGP races in mind, a road version of the E1pc could easily be one of the very best electric bikes on offer in the market today. The designers also claim that you could cut down the weight of the hot-swap battery pack to as much as just 30 kilos to create a light and efficient urban commuting vehicle.
That is indeed versatility at its best, don’t you think? [via EcoFriend]
What a bike! I wonder how much it costs? I bet it’s not cheap. The question is if it is worthy saving money on gas but paying big bucks on a bike. Normally when gas price is high, the electricity bill goes up also. But still a very sharp bike.
Spam protection question eliminates Harley drivers! I like that! Sneaky censorship! Just like the insurance companies’ health insurance eligibility forms! When does this modern miracle get its third wheel and canopy of carbon fiber for my daily commute! My McMansion Mortgage is killing me, so I may swap for an Eco-Shelter, Earth-ship orientation for the next inevitable economic down-turn and perhaps the greater depression we all dread! please! an electric roto-tiller Soon! Oil broke $80.00 U.S. the other day, soon to escalate? Ask OPEC! and prepare for the next great downturn and paper funny money in the U.S. while the “Yuan” soars, and Americans go hungry! We will need these bikes for every day transportation, not cafe racers! Hot swappable battery packs! Good Shiite! Next: Solar, Wind chargers for a free ride! It can happen! Watch the Chinese do it first.
