Off Topic / Epic Torq Roadster
« Last post by Richard230 on May 19, 2013, 07:56:51 PM »Yesterday I entered my Zero in the local high school auto show. While my bike didn't generate much interest, the Epic Torq Roadster that was on display seemed to be more of an attraction - although nothing like the guy with a bunch of old bikes parked next to me.
The roadster's owner claimed it was the first production vehicle made by the company. His friend said that he got the car yesterday and decided to show it off today. I was told that the car sells for about $90,000 and is powered by a forced-air cooled DC motor and Fluxpower LiFePo4 prismatic batteries (I forgot to ask about the size of the pack, but the battery boxes are mounted along the center-line of the car and go from the front end of the car to the rear end). The car is front-wheel drive, sort of like a Morgan.
If you are wish to learn more about this vehicle, here is a link to the owner's interesting blog comments regarding his new vehicle - which he says is registered as a motorcycle:

Off Topic / Re: KTM E-SPEED scooter concept
« Last post by Richard230 on May 19, 2013, 05:57:24 PM »I guess KTM is finally coming up with a marketing plan for producing electric motorcycles. Reading this story, it sounds like they will be making the E-SPEED scooter for urban commuting and the Freeride E for quiet fun in the dirt.

But it doesn't appear that they plan to compete with Brammo or Zero in the street motorcycle consumer market.

Brammo Enertia Plus / Fun Trip
« Last post by Arnman on May 19, 2013, 11:58:19 AM »After my long-distance ride yesterday and today I wanted to make a ride just for fun.
After leavin Vienna to the south west side, there are hilly roads and a lot of other motorbikers.
It was great! 56 km of fun, battery is now at 33%
It is amazing what much power this bike has up the hill (hmmm, exceeded 120 °C...) and it is really really nice in alternating curves. I ascendet 3 bikers with superbikes. Of course they have not been professionals, but in the curve I could overtake one! What a fun!
Yes I am absolulte happy! Some times I could also take a short look at the speedometer, and I have had about 16 kW at the maximum (not 14? Some kind of tuning at 1000+ km as a bonus ?)

Brammo Enertia Plus / Re: Rear Brake
« Last post by Arnman on May 19, 2013, 11:52:43 AM »Today I made a check and realised, that the inner brake pad was stuck. I made some magic movements and - Voila! - I got a non-screeming but good breaking rear break!
