EV articles in Motorcyclist magazine
« on: June 20, 2014, 10:16:34 AM »
The August issue of Motorcyclist magazine contains a couple of articles about electric motorcycles.  On page 16 is a story titled "Smoother Than I.C.E." that describes the advantages of an electric motorcycle's motor torque spread when racing and also describes a new technological controller advancement by BRD that mimics the torque production of a geared ICE motorcycle over its rev range.

In the same issue of Motorcyclist, on page 20, is an article about the "One-Wheeled Wonder", the Ryno Monocycle (sounds kind of familiar to me), followed by a sidebar describing the McLean Monocycle, the BPG Uno, the Honda U3X and the Yike Bike.   
current bikes: 2018 16.6 kWh Zero S, 2011 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 Classic, 2009 BMW F650GS, 2007 BMW R1200R, 2005 Triumph T-100 Bonneville, 2002 Yamaha FZ1 and a 1978 Honda Kick 'N Go Senior.

Here is a link to an article describing BRD's motor controller project, which includes a photo of their "proprietary water-cooled motor housing" :
