EV-X7 - a cool electric motorcycle

The EV-X7 is a new kind of electric motorcycle which has a top speed of 90mph (maybe even a 100 down a very steep hill) and a range of up to 110 miles off a 6 hour charge.

The improved performance is put down to new type of motor that is both lighter and more efficient and appropriately called the Sumo hybrid (have you ever heard of a lite sumo?). The manufacturers Axle are planning a mini version of the EV-X7 later this year for under £1,000 which sounds promising.

Uncle B Says:

Looks much more stable than a ’scooter’. If rechargeable by high efficiency solar cells or wind power, could be a great way to commute for free! American market may still be too influenced by group think and advertising hypnosis to embrace this concept, but rising oil prices, devalued dollar may bring them around soon. American physical body weight may be a problem! It takes a lot of power to move larger bodies than lighter bodies so American distances on a charge may have to be reduced or at least, for truth in advertising, given for a specific weight load. Beautiful machine!
