Thread: MotoCzysz Electric Motorcycle

I had a chance to be able to go to a event on November 3rd here in Portland, Or so I thought I share it with you all

Technical
The MotoCzysz E1pc is described as having "10 times the battery capacity of a Toyota Prius and 2.5 times the torque of a Ducati 1198 [in] a package that looks like something out of a 24th-century Thunderdome." The E1pc is powered by "10 individual lithium polymer cells that each weigh 19.5 Lbs 12.5 kWh" and operates close to the maximum allowable 500 volts system. The motive force is provided by a "DC internal permanent magnet motor [called] 'D1g1tal Dr1ve' [and is] small enough to hide within the swingarm beneath the rear shock." The motor is oil-cooled developing 100 HP and 250 Lb-Ft of torque, continuously.

Racing
On June 10, 2010, US racer Mark Miller won the TT Zero race on a 37.773 mile mountain course riding a redesigned E1pc with a time of 23 minutes 22.89 seconds and an average speed of 96.820 mph. Beyond the electric motorcycle technical accomplishment, this is "the first time an American-made bike has won a race at the Isle of Man since Indian debuted a two-speed gearbox in 1911 and only the second time an American rider has finished first there."
The previous year, in June 2009, Mark Miller rode an earlier design of the bike on the 37.733-mile (60.725 km) course of the TTXGP on the Isle of Man. The 2009-model Motoczysz E1pc did not finish the race.

hope this works out better than the gas powered version did. that one looked good in the beginning

I could see MotoCzysz bringing a bike like that to the consumer later on down the road after more R&D..

I saw this bike at the TT and it by far looked the most professional team there. Good luck to them, they've got a long way to go to match the superbikes though.
