Elektromototsikl in the spirit of Harley-Davidson

Good news for fans of heavy metal music, cool choppers and... those who are not indifferent to the environment. Harley-Davidson released the road a real bike with a fully electric drive. This modern project is called Projekt LifeWire. The skeptics that I did not like the idea of the legendary motorcycle in this version, the producers promise not seen the power and unique sound. In fact, the motorcycle accelerates to 100 km/h in four seconds. Such acceleration will not leave anyone indifferent. The maximum speed that it develops 150 km/h battery charge is enough for 85 km.

As one of the main advantages of electric motors is its quiet operation. But the real motorcyclists, such a prospect is not very attractive. LifeWire is equipped with speakers and a digital recording of the sound of the motor, which can be compared with a jet engine of the aircraft. It is not only that the driver would not feel "black sheep" but also for security purposes. It's clear that two hundred pound silent motorcycle that is rushing with great speed on the road may cause an accident.

Despite the fact that electric Harley yet, he managed to star in a movie, in the film "the Avengers 2: age of Ultron".

The manufacturer does not hurry with the serial release commemorating what risks you might face. After all, deprived of the internal combustion engine, the motorcycle can lose the soul.



The free sale will have to wait. At the moment the bike goes on tour across America, would be able to evaluate the professional bikers. They will tell you what is missing ecological prototype, that would be considered a real heavy bike.

Importantly, Harley-Davidson sees the prospects of development of electric transport, and hence the appearance of electric motorcycles in this class are not far off.
