MotoCzysz Electric Motorcycle Superbike

MotoCzysz Electric Motorcycles Creates a Digital Superbike Masterpiece

October 13, 2009

The latest design from MotoCzysz is the E1PC electric super bike. The MotoCzysz E1PC idea started when an employee of MotoCzysz got permission to borrow a Yamaha YZF-R1 frame and built an electric motorcycle, planning to enter it in the TTXGP. Czysz thought it would be better to design a new bike from the ground up using an advanced carbon fiber frame that’s been designed to accept a modular powertrain. This design will reportedly allow for a range of electric motorcycles all based on the same basic underpinnings. So the MotoCzysz E1PC was born.

The MotoCzysz E1PC, a zero-emission electric super bike uses 10 battery packs and 3 motors to reach the same speeds as gas-powered bikes. The new digital bike can reach 120 mph in around 7-8 seconds, putting it in the race for the fastest electric bike. In addition to its breakneck speeds, the MotoCzysz E1PC also uses an apple iphone, embedded in a custom dock between the handle bars.

An entry-level model designed for commuters, priced at under $20,000, would have a smaller battery and motor designed to deliver around-town or short highway-commute performance, while a higher-spec, more expensive sportbike could go faster and farther. A higher-spec model could go for $50,000 or more and would use a much larger battery pack. The top-of-the-line superbike’s “battery power could be the same as a Chevy Volt,” and its performance could “rival a 600cc supersport,” according to Czysz, with a top speed of 150 mph and enough juice for 30-40 minutes at full race pace.

We’ve been hearing this kind of utopian description of futuristic motorcycles and cars for years, but these vehicles are now closer to reality. With billions of dollars being invested around the world in batteries and alternative fuels, it seems like an affordable battery with sufficient energy is just a matter of time. The simplicity and modular nature of electric-vehicle design will benefit motorcyclists and redefine the industry.

If the hefty price tag gives you sticker shock, plenty of electric powered vehicles can be purchased online at GQ Scooters at discounted prices. You will be able to view all of the latest gas scooters and electric scooters.
