I’m usually loyal to my very sexy Triumph Daytona 675 (both of them!) but this beautiful machine changes all that: the MotoCzysz E1pc.

Their petrol burning version is pretty sexy also:

I mean there’s so much good stuff about this thing it’s hard to know where to start:

• aesthetics are beautiful (see here for the full sized glory)
• it’s electric
• it has easily swapped out battery packs
• it’s beautiful from any angle I’ve found a picture of

Technicals

Bit hard to find out much, but here’s what I’ve found or guessing on:

• lightweight carbon fibre and aluminium construction to free as much weight for batteries as possible
• 125kg of “hot swap” lithium ion battery packs (according to ecofriend and ashphaltandrubber). There are 10 (6 visible, 4 hidden under the faring).
• Three electric motors for drive
• Suspension adjustment is different (MotoCzysz fork/suspension assembly has some magic from their C1 bike)
• crank appears to go through the pivot point to the right side for final drive to the rear sprocket (see picture below and see whether you agree with me)

• I think the chain goes something like:

• This appears to be the “frame” of the bike:

• No gears (pretty standard for electric vehicles)
• 0 to 120mph (193km/h) in less than 11seconds (this was an “easy” test with less than 100% capacity)
• probably has some storage capacity in the “fuel” tank

History and Early Concept Pictures

The earlier pictures are a bit different, but pretty close really:

There’s a video of the MotoCzysz E1pc to show it’s not just fluff.
