Magnetic hybrid motorbike unveiled in Japan


 
   

A Japanese vehicle manufacturer unveiled the prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a hybrid magnetic motor, which can run almost noiselessly up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on one charge. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that the battery of the next-generation electric vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the vehicle's maximum speed is capable of reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour). The company says the futuristic motorbike enjoys high energy efficiency thanks to a state-of-the-art magnetic motor which is a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet. The new motor, called SUMO, short for "super motor," is housed inside the bike's rear wheel. The manufacture says the new motor is seven-times more cost efficient than gas-powered scooters.Daisuke Ito, a professional racer who test rode the EV-X7 prototype, said it could potentially replace machines we now see in motor races. "I just feel that in the near future, we'll be seeing these kinds of electric motorbikes running all around town. And when that happens, conventional vehicles could disappear from motor racing, too, and well be competing only in electric vehicles."www.itnsource.comReuters RTV521706

It's aiight. Obama doesn't have one though, so I might not buy it. Beside, it clashes with my Obama sunglasses, shoes, briefcase, and douche-bag embroidered with "I'm so change".

thats very nice...I thought of shit like this when I was 8 yrs old.the flying part is more complicated than you could ever imagine...which is why I gave up on magnetics when I was a kid... even after making magnets levitate briefly.it seems the japanese are doing well...I wonder if thats due to mr. shiga robbing me while I was institutionalized as a kid.I doubt it, magnetics is one of the easiest to comprehend energies...someone was bound to come up with it too eventually.
