Robrady
rMoto Electric Superbike
The rMOTO
electric superbike concept was developed by Robrady design in Florida, the
rMOTO uses technology and expertise derived from several of Robrady's clients.
When the first design sketches of the rMOTO were released on the company web
site in April, interest in the concept was so great that the project was
approved for construction and a prototype is to be constructed for unveiling in
January 2006.
The rMOTO
uses regenerative charging to recharge the batteries during braking and
deceleration. The rMOTO is also suited for fuel cell technology and there's
every chance the rMOTO could have a fuel cell on board so that power can be
topped up without needing to get to an electrical outlet.
Talking
about the riding characteristics of the rMOTO Rob Brady explains the difference
in power delivery between conventional internal combustion engines and electric
motors, a feature also common to the electric sports car the Venturi Fetish.
The rMOTO
is just the start for high performance electric vehicles, and many experts
suspect an exponential increase in the development of related technology in the
next few years.
