Two concepts electric Superbike from the veteran and startup

Almost simultaneously the concepts of electric Superbikes the nearest future presented the venerable German BMW Motorcycles and startup Damon from Vancouver, Canada.



It is interesting that iconic (well, maybe a little less than overseas Harley-Davidson) motobrend BMW introduced a completely futuristic concept Roadster Vision DC – the first cars Bavarian brand with "green" power plant.


 specially the Futuristic Superbike has given a recognizable signature styling with stylized boxer engine (the lining, simulating the cylinder heads are shifted to direct the flow of air and cooling of the traction battery), as well as the traditional BMW for a node as the wheel drive shaft drive.



The firm has not yet disclose technical specifications, but it even made a video dedicated to my future electroassembler.

On the contrary, vancouvery, giving his elektroservice very elegant design focused on the most important aspects of safety and ergonomics.

So, electrospray Damon was equipped with a complex active safety AWSM (Advance Warning System), which includes a circular radar, wide angle cameras and sensors capable of tracking up to 64 objects around a two-wheeled machines, so that analyzing their trajectory and nature of the movement, to warn about the risk of collision. This is led backlight or vibration on the handlebars from potential danger, alerting the rider. Well, wide-angle rear view camera transmits the image on the rear OLED monitor on the instrument panel.

In addition, the geometry of the landing of the driver can be adapted to the anthropometry and the individual preferences of the rider and driving conditions. For this step, clipon and the seat is equipped with an electric drive, which allows for the normal track to choose a more comfortable fit, and for race track to find the firing position of the pilot.

We can only hope that when it comes to the price of both electroservices will not exorbitant six-figure.
