Designed to break TT - zero record
TECHNOLOGY & SPECS
Motorcycles have the same traditional design setup for a number of years without any radical changes or breakthroughs.
Along with the new propulsion system, we've decided to go with bold unconventional ideas that have a high potential for the future.

Rear swingarm, along with the chain path is modeled in a way that allows the rider's feet to be positioned as narrow as possible, lowering the centre of gravity and air drag.
This allows a rider to seat lower, lowering the center of gravity and lowering his arched back.

Additional chain with extra sprockets will cause a drop in mechanic efficiency and a bit higher unsprung weight of the rear swingarm, but we evaluated it is worth the before mentioned benefits.)
By far the heaviest part of a bike is the battery pack.
During the design process, the centre of gravity and mass centralization was one of the main concerns.
This influences stability, maneuverability, traction and needed leaning angle.
Due to the battery package, electric motorcycles are much heavier than ICE-powered motorcycles. To try to diminish the feeling of heaviness we lowered the center of gravity, a bit lower compared to normal sports bikes (but still not too low so needed leaning angle through corners will not be much higher). )
