Una piccola e leggera cafè racer con motore elettrico, così si potrebbe definire velocemente la Super SOCO TC. In termini di dimesione e potenza si va a confrontare con la classe 125cc dei motori termici. In termini di stile l’impostazione vuole richiamare le moto anni 60-70 un revival che ora di moda. In termini tecnici la TC non potrebbe essere più lontana dal mondo vintage, la moto infatti è spinta da un motore hub 17″ da 1500W(inserito nel mozzo della ruota posteriore) sviluppato dalla Bosch, l’alimentazione è fornita da una batteria da 30Ah alloggiata in quello che un tempo sarebbe stato il serbatoio e che può essere affiancata da una gemella in modo da raddoppiare la percorrenza massima che è di circa 90km. La TC ha anche una sorella minore denominata TS (foto sotto) con potenza confrontabile ad un ciclomotere 50cc ma dal piacevole design motociclistico. Le moto sono prodotte in Cina e commercializzate dall’australiana VMOTO Ltd. (www.vmoto.com)

A nice, light and full electric cafè racer, this could be a short definition of the Super SOCO TC. Dimension and power put this bike in 125cc category, the style is a fine “neoclassic” revival of bikes from the 60s and 70s but the technology is really far from this stylish era. The TC has a 17″ hub motor (inside the rear wheel) developed by Bosch, the 30Ah battery is inside the former gas tank where is possible to put a second battery to double the range from about 90km to 180. The TC has small sister called TS with the power of a 50cc moped (see the pic above) and a fine modern design. The Super SOCO are built in China and distributed by VMOTO Ltd. (www.vmoto.com) based in Australia.

Alta Motors, based in California, was born more than nine years ago by the idea of two friends, Jeff Sand and Derek Dorresteyn, thinking that electric technology was ready (at least for motocross and off road) to potentially offer a better motorbike. The question was one of range and energy: Could you put enough batteries in an electric dirtbike to last a pro moto and a little bit more? Dorresteyn did the numbers and found you could – if you were careful with the design and kept the weight of everything else low. Since 2009, the two guys worked to create a 250cc-class e-bike and had begun to put together a company to realize it. Every design decision for the Redshift was taken to be fully competitive with conventional motorcycles. Since the first concept to production, the battery design evolved but what stayed constant was that it offered a little under 6 kWh of capacity (enough for a 30-minute pro moto or about two hours of trail use) and weighed less than 70 pounds. So every part of the bike has to be light. The Redshift MX has 40 HP liquid-cooled AC Permanent Magnet Motor (ACPM), no clutch and a Waterproof Li-Ion 350V (5.8kW/h Battery Pack). You can set the power using 4 different Maps from low traction to crazy power (and no range!). Top speed 65 MPH. For more info vist:
