A New Damon Electric, New Alpinestars Airbag Vests

On top of all the expected unveilings of gadgetry aimed for fun and productivity, this year’s Consumer Electronic Show featured more compelling futuristic cars and car tech than we’ve seen in a while. It also was the site of some cool two-wheeled—and two-wheel-related—news.To get more news about ev, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

We first saw Damon at CES two years ago. Back then it was showcasing a new electric motorcycle called the HyperSport that could switch from sport bike to touring bike at the push of a button: handlebars raised up, windscreen raised, pegs went back, seat slid forward, and voila, you go from hunched-over sport bike to more comfortable sport touring bike. At this year’s CES Damon Motors showed off its new limited-edition HyperFighter Colossus, “the ultimate stripped-down urban assault sportbike derived from Damon’s first bike, HyperSport.”

“The HyperFighter Colossus motorcycle redefines the streetfighter category with a powerfully-charged limited edition model,” said Jay Giraud, co-founder and CEO, Damon Motors. “The HyperFighter is a stripped-down demon of a bike that is not for the faint of heart, so that riders can fight traffic, fight gas, and fight compromise. We’re excited to give the naked sports bike fanatic everything they want, coupled with the unrivaled technological features found only on Damon bikes. Only 100 HyperFighter Colossus motorcycles will hit the road, making them highly coveted.”
The new bike promises 200 hp, “more than” 148 lb-ft of torque, 0-60 mph in less than three seconds, and a top speed of 170 mph. Range is listed at 146 miles. The HyperSport of two years ago was said to go 200 miles. Damon says something it calls HyperDrive is the key to the bike’s performance. It describes HyperDrive as the “world’s first monocoque-constructed, 100 percent electric, multi-variant powertrain optimized for maximum performance, design and safety,” which, to be frank, is more than a little vague. It looks like what they mean is that the battery pack is a stressed member of the frame, but that information is lost in the marketing gobbledeegook. Damon bikes do have Ohlins shocks, Brembo brakes and single rear swingarms.

Both the new HyperFighter Colossus and the HyperSport will come with Damon’s CoPilot—“a 360-degree advanced warning system that uses radar, cameras, and non-visual sensors to track the speed, direction, and velocity of up to 64 moving objects around the motorcycle for unparalleled situational awareness.” Both bikes will also get that transformational setup, Shift: “At the push of a button, patented electronic ergonomics allow riders to transform their riding position with adjustable handlebars position and a retractable windscreen to dramatically reduce wind resistance and increase long range comfort, all while in motion.”
The Damon website says the HyperFighter Colossus retails for a "subscription price" of $475 per month or $35,000 to buy, and that the bike can be reserved with a fully refundable deposit of $250. There is also a HyperFighter Unlimited 20 with a 20 kWh battery for $25,000 or $357 a month, and a HyperFighter Unlimited 15 with 15 kWh for $19,000 or $264 a month.

Damon claims to have $65 million in total funding, having announced December 8 that it had garnered $30 million in a Series B Funding round led by an entity called House of Lithium. A search for House of Lithium on Google shows a beachfront home in Newport Beach and a website showing a tattooed tough guy speeding about on an electric bicycle (not on a Damon). House of Lithium makes electric bicycles and looks to be led by a guy named "TJ," perhaps the guy with the tattoos and the beach house. So Damon Motors is getting help from a like-minded investor. Looking forward to riding one of these someday.

“It’s been a very busy Q4 for Damon, marked by massive momentum for the company, having secured an additional $30M in funding, global expansion into Europe, announcement of a 110,000 square-foot manufacturing facility in Surrey, British Columbia, Canada, to begin production in 2022; awarded 6 issued patents for its technologies, and surpassing a $45M milestone in orders for its flagship HyperSport motorcycle,” Damon said in a release.

World’s first pedal-powered electric motorcycle

eROCKIT electric motorcycle can be mistaken for a bicycle, bit unusual looking though. However, it is actually an electric motorcycle with a unique drivetrain that allows the vehicle to be driven as a bicycle as well as a motorcycle also, thanks to the pedals. It is the first pedal-powered electric motorcycle in the world, claims Andy Zurwehme, CEO of eROCKIT Systems GmbH.To get more news about high quality electric motorcycle, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

Priced at 11,850 euro (Approximately ?9.88 lakh), the eROCKIT electric motorcycle is licensed as a light motorcycle in Europe under the L3e vehicle class.

The company claims the motorcycle is powered by a human hybrid technology with the rider at the centre of the entire power generation technology.In terms of design, the electric two-wheeler is built on high-strength aluminum and dons a retro look with features like an LED headlamp, digital instrument cluster, and a single rider seat. The battery is positioned in a manner that makes the motorcycle looks thin. The alloy wheels with disc brakes too come with the same minimalist approach that is visible across the entire body frame.

The company claims that it sources high-quality parts from across the world to make the motorcycle. “We source high-class parts from different countries. The battery is jointly developed by us and a Switzerland based company," said Zurwehme.

The most interesting part of this electric motorcycle is the pedal onboard powering a generator that measures the power output that goes into it. There is no throttle on the handlebar. This means if the rider pedals fast, the motorcycle will accelerate. It uses brake energy recuperation technology as well. Stopping pedaling means the bike will come to standstill.There is a 16 kW electric motor onboard that produces the required juice for the two-wheeler weighing only 120 kg. The German company claims the pedals can take the speed of the motorcycle to more than 80 kmph. Also, the 6.6 kWh battery pack is claimed to be capable of delivering a range of 120 km on a single charge.

The electric motorcycle has three different driving modes - Eco, Normal, and Sport. Each mode generates variable power output. The battery pack can be charged with the help of a regular 110 – 230 V socket, claims the company.

These Were The Top 5 Biggest Electric Motorcycle News Stories Of 2021

You may not have known it, but 2021 was a huge year for electric motorcycles. While Asia has traditionally been responsible for many of the electric motorcycles we’ve seen before, 2021 welcomed several new US entries in the market.To get more news about davincimotor, you can visit davincimotor.com official website.

We counted millions of views across our electric motorcycle coverage this year, and these are the top five stories that our readers voted on with their eyeballs.While SONDORS is better known for its successful electric bicycles (and somewhat less known for its presently less successful three-wheeled electric car), the company’s biggest launch of the year was definitely its first motorcycle.

The Metacycle was unveiled with impressive commuter-level specs, including an 80 mph (130 km/h) top speed and an 80 mile (130 km) range to match.The bike was originally destined to make deliveries by the end of this year, but several delays have pushed the new delivery estimate to the middle of next year.

We’ve also seen the Metacycle undergo a number of design changes, many of which were expected due to several of its fancier design features found on the concept model not being street legal.BMW unveiled a decidedly out there concept motorcycle back in September that had many of us scratching our heads.

Known as the Vison AMBY, it wasn’t a particularly fast model. Instead, it appears to be designed for urban commuters that want something a bit more powerful than an electric bicycle.

Its top speed of 60 km/h (37 mph) is rather slow compared to other entries in the light electric motorcycle class. The Vision AMBY’s lightweight design has it more closely competing with small electric trail bikes like a Sur Ron Light Bee, albeit BMW’s presumably street-legal design would offer a significant advantage over those other off-road-only alternatives.News that deliveries commenced for the company’s fat tire Volcon Grunt electric motorcycle brought in massive views from around the world. Perhaps that’s why Volcon is in the process of opening up a string of national and international dealers.

The Volcon Grunt is an off-road electric motorcycle designed for adventure and utility riding. Think: hunters, farmers, and various off-the-beaten-path explorers.For those that care less about the green aspect, the bike also requires almost zero maintenance, doesn’t leak oil all over your garage or barn, is easier to operate, and offers powerful low-end torque that only electric motorcycles can achieve.

The company opened local production facilities in Texas and is also working on developing multiple four-wheeled UTVs and a smaller electric motorcycle known as the Runt.

Volcon also celebrated its IPO earlier this year, with the stock climbing quickly before entering more of a rollercoaster trajectory not uncommon for new listings, especially in such a volatile market.The company had claimed nearly three years earlier that the bike would be based off the legendary BMW R71, just like the one seen in the classic Steve McQeen film The Great Escape.

The only problem is that the bike they rolled out didn’t quite mimic the inspiration. They even hyped the hell out of the big reveal; I got five different press releases alone ahead of the event.When Kawasaki announced that it would reveal three electric motorcycles next year, it must have really touched a nerve in the industry. Few pledges have brought in this much attention (and there have been plenty of e-moto promises to go around).

Part of the excitement might have been due to the fact that Kawasaki hasn’t launched any electric motorcycles yet.Sure, it has that prototype that has been hanging around the R&D department for years, but the company hasn’t seemed overly excited about sharing any updates on that front.
