RE: Electric motorcycles - 26

Jay Leno reviews the Energica electric motorcycles in this Jay Leno Garage clip: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM_OaQjL6G8

Ryan Kluftinger of FortNine (my favorite physics/art history major), reviews the Sondors Company, some of its mathematically disputable claims, and its latest $5000 motorcycle.

Here is a fellow who plans to YouTube-it around the world while riding a Zero electric motorcycle. Good luck finding charging stations and any sort of power train servicing or chassis parts outside the UK, EU or NA: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S1bxPV_4M4c

Here is a quick look at the latest electric motorcycle and scooter models introduced at the 2022 EICMA show: https://thepack.news/news/

Honda has jumped into the swappable battery game in Tokyo and may partner with Hero to set up the same system in Indian cities. Here is the story: https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/ho...ric-motorcycles

Here are two Kymco Supernex and Revonex highway-capable electric motorcycle concepts. Hopefully the "unconventional" side fairing design "architecture" will not be introduced on any production versions: https://thepack.news/kymco-launches-supe...c-architecture/

Check out the exploded diagram of the Verge electric motorcycle's rear wheel/electric motor on their website: Very interesting, but I wonder how heavy it is, how will it affect handling and ride comfort and what will it be like to change the rear tire? And I bet it costs a bundle to manufacture and from all unique components, too. https://www.vergemotorcycles.com/us/

Eric Buell's new electric bicycle/motorcycle company is back in the news again with a nice prototype and still trolling for investor dollars, as well as customer deposits. Just don't hold your breath for one to show up at your local dealer - because there aren't any. Maybe in a few years if they can find enough money to finance their operation and that is not going to be easy in this economic turn-down: https://thepack.news/eric-buell-is-back-...otorbike-fllow/

Now this is the way to design a battery system that can be easily removed and then transported to a different location for both storage and charging. The battery pack not only has an integrated 600 watt charger and a 55 watt heater but the scooter also has its own integrated fold-out handcart to move the entire battery pack around. Check out the last four pictures in this new-startup scooter article: https://thepack.news/silence-is-the-firs...up-vr-mobility/

I found the first few minutes and the last minute of this video interesting regarding the Brammo Empulse/Victory TT motorcycle, which includes information regarding the brand's history. In 2010 I pre-ordered an Empulse like the one in the photo, except that version did not have a 6-speed transmission and was direct-drive. But when it didn't arrive after two years because it was being redesigned to accommodate a standard motorcycle gear box and clutch, I gave up and bought a 2012 Zero instead.

Here is an article about what appears to be a hand-built small electric motorcycle with aspirations to ramp up production to 5K units a year. The LAND Moto District. Fast enough to take on the freeway for a few miles if you have the largest battery they offer. A pretty nice looking bike, but the price is kind of steep: https://www.revzilla.com/common-tread/la...nd-factory-tour
