Born
in a garage in the acclaimed Silicon Valley, from an idea of a group
formed by students of the MIT, old employees of Intel, passionate and
enthusiastic aficionados of motorcycles. This electric motor was then
about 3 years back, the fastest, or claimed to be, in the world, capable
of reaching 240 kilometres per hour. 140 horsepower, mounted on a light
chassis of aluminium.
The top speed can be achieved practically instantly, without having to wait for the traditional revolutions of the motor of combustion, with which, in the acceleration, there are no rivals.
The design is work of Yves Behar. What is most noticeable is the absence of the exhaust pipe, because this ingenious machine does not contaminate the environment. It runs on batteries of lithium of the latest generation, the size of which no bigger than a football. To charge them it takes the same time as charging a portable computer, a couple of hours.
The first range of models were available in 2010.
Mission One: €52,000
Do we really need even higher speed?
