" A Japanese vehicle manufacturer unveiled the prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a hybrid magnetic motor, which can run almost noiselessly up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on one charge. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that the battery of the next-generation electric vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the vehicle's maximum speed is capable of reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour). The company says the futuristic motorbike enjoys high energy efficiency thanks to a state-of-the-art magnetic motor which is a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet. The new motor, called SUMO, short for "super motor," is housed inside the bike's rear wheel. The manufacture says the new motor is seven-times more cost efficient than gas-powered scooters. Daisuke Ito, a professional racer who test rode the EV-X7 prototype, said it could potentially replace machines we now see in motor races. "I just feel that in the near future, we'll be seeing these kinds of electric motorbikes running all around town. And when that happens, conventional vehicles could disappear from motor racing, too, and well be competing only in electric vehicles." www.itnsource.com Reuters RTV521706 "

Motorcycles are loud. This one is quiet. It wasn't very complicated. If that helps you sleep at night, kid.

just making it clear that you understand btw you said its quiet for a motorcycle...?? thats a kinda stupid comment considering its running on batteries? and yeah it doesnt make me intelligent but it makes me smarter than you...

superstar020 on November 30, 1999 at 12:00 am

Alright? Should that change my opinion that it's a quiet ride? Or that I like it? Also, raping the caps lock doesn't make you intelligent.

Wheee!! Who cares if I look like a fruit on this bike (completely negating the purpose of motorcycles--which is, of course, to make dudes look tough)? Wheee!! Japanese words, blah, blah, blah... Photo-op, then guess what time it is? Whee!! I feel like a squirrel on water skis!
