cool bikes u haven't seen

The rMOTO electric superbike concept was developed by ROBRADY design to showcase the technologies and expertise of several of its clients.

The project has been given the green light and a prototype is to be constructed for unveiling in January 2006.

So just what sort of performance can we expect from the rMOTO?

“It’s kind of a balance we need to resolve. We can get a 100 miles an hour, 120 miles an hour bike but then the range of the bike suffers so it’s a matter of starting and knowing that the technologies and different battery chemistries will evolve in time, and probably not very much time at that"

If you think that in touring through a populated downtown area – this is an ideal bike. It will look fantastic, with that big electric motor sitting right on the rear wheel, it will have tremendous acceleration. It’s not going to be like having a big gas motor that you need to get it into maximum torque zone before you pop the clutch and then fight to keep it there so you can get maximum acceleration. This baby will have maximum torque at zero sitting right there inside the rear wheel ready to go – I can’t emphasise how fast this bike will accelerate.
