Partnered with BMW? Can it be true? Of course it can:

When I saw the title of this piece I thought "Why? Maybe they can't get it to start.."

Si.

Very interesting.

Wonder what the three "rings" below the "engine/battery case" are?

Should we assume the rear sprocket is behind the rear disc?

Why does the swingarm need ram-air? Does it contain some of the battery pack or control circuits?

Inquiring minds want to know...

I can't wait for the TTXGP! Ever since I read about the zero emissions race, I've been fascinated by it. As we get closer to mid-june (and the race day), I'm getting very eager to see how things shake out. I hope th race works out for so many reasons, but mainly because race-developed technology finding its way to the street. :eusa_clap::eusa_clap::eusa_clap:

It seems the electric motorcycle technology is just exploding!
I'm looking forward to the breakthrough that will lead to cheaper, more powerful, longer-lasting batteries. I think the limited range even more than the high cost will hold them back until that happens.

Scotty & Randy - any update on Kent Rich's electric Bonneville streamliner?

Dave - Kent and the students at SUU have just finished all of th CAD drawings for the frame and bodywork. Kent is continually working on money for grants and sponorship. He hopes to start building shortly.
