RE: Electric motorcycles - 23

And Motorcycle.com also checks out the Ducati V21 Moto E race bike: https://www.motorcycle.com/features/worl...first-look.html

Triumph will reveal more details of their road ebike (TE-1) on July 12th.

Here is another ride review of the new Energica Experia that contains some interesting closeup photos. It seems like a really nice bike, but the prices mentioned made my eyes water. https://thepack.news/the-pack-tested-the...he-netherlands/

There is a lot more information regarding the Ducati V21L electric racing motorcycle prototype here, including technical details, closeup photos and a "tech talk" video. It seems like a lot of information for a racing motorcycle, unless that bike is being built as a technical demonstrator and will not be racing against other brands. https://thepack.news/ducati-unveiled-the...21l-in-a-video/

In this video Yammie Noob (not the most reliable source for motorcycle information in my opinion and I don't care much about how his video's tend to be loaded with ads) complains about the price, features and performance of Zero's electric motorcycles. However, I think he does make some good points, especially about the add-on prices that unlock features which are already on the bike: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tN3egt52jCQ

Here is the latest news from Triumph regarding their TE-1 electric motorcycle project. No word about when it might hit the market or what the bike might cost: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nkJoBSVMoWM

It will never hit the market - this was a research exercise .

Here is an illustrated article regarding the TE-1, along with a list of the collaborators that contributed to the Triumph electric motorcycle technology demonstrator project: https://thepack.news/triumph-announced-t...opment-project/

It looks like Kawasaki will enter the 14.8 hp electric motorcycle street-legal market next year, according to this report by Motorcycle.com: https://www.motorcycle.com/new-model-pre...g-for-2023.html

In today's E-Bike development news: Here is someone who has come up with a "bolt-on" electric motor conversion for small 50cc-class ICE bikes. The only minor issues are that he is looking for investors and apparently only has a computer drawing concept of the idea . But I am sure he can work out these pesky details once he gets enough investors - or maybe a government grant. https://thepack.news/e-core-is-a-new-alt...torbike-market/

BRP's Can-Am bikes are back. This time electrified and will be introduced to the market sometime in 2024. I note that BRP is not asking for investors or crowd financing. Who knew you could introduce a new electric motorcycle without begging for investors ::) : https://thepack.news/newsflash-brp-pushe...am-motorcycles/

Now we have the Ryvid Anthem. Not exactly a name that rolls off of your tongue. Here is a link to the article about this new electric motorcycle: https://electrek.co/2022/08/14/ryvid-ant...ric-motorcycle/

Frankly the styling kinds of turns me off. Plus, that 4.3 kWh battery pack is only going to take you the advertised 75 miles if you keep the speed down to 30 mph. Also, there doesn't seem to be any mention of how you can buy the bike. Is it on-line and have it delivered to your home in a box and then it is up to you to get it registered at the DMV, or will they be establishing a retail dealer network? So I will wait until I see one in person - if I ever do.

There certainly are a lot of startup companies designing and introducing new electric motorcycle models lately, but will they be around in a year or two? It is one thing designing a prototype and it is something else making a profit manufacturing and selling enough of them so that you can stay in business long enough to get established in a pretty small marketplace. My thought continues to be that there isn't much money in selling freeway-legal electric motorcycles until you see the Japanese brands entering the market.

Here is something interesting: A small company in the Netherlands has come up with a kit to convert old BMW air-head boxers into electric motorcycles: https://thepack.news/lm-creations-from-t...conversion-kit/

Here is an interesting video clip with a company engineer discussing the new Ryvid Anthem electric motorcycle that provides information regarding its design: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HG8Qrum5dRU
