Based on the chassis of a Suzuki GSX750, the TTX01 uses two 43 bhp Agni Lynch electric motors: equivalent to the peak power of a 600cc gasoline powered motorcycle. What’s more, the TTX01 has a an additional motor on the front wheel creating a 2WD motorcycle which gives the bike “achieve significant improvements to handling and roadholding, particularly in wet conditions.” (Gizmag)

Currently the TTX01 has 14 kWh battery packs, but the goal is to have hot swappable 20 kWh batteries which will power the bike at normal road speeds for about 50 miles. Recharge time for the batteries should be under two hours.

50 miles isn't that bad.. we're starting to see more and more practical iterations of electric powered vehicles.. it's about time!

World fastest electric motorcyle is "KillaCycle" http://www.killacycle.com/ with world record of 174MPH

"43 bhp Agni Lynch electric motors" --- know what, this motors are made in india http://www.agnimotors.com <== Great company, has good name in electric motors for two wheelers and four wheelers.

I discussed with the same company to build an electric motorcycle almost 1.5 years ago.
The total estimated cost to build the bike was above my budget so droped the idea for some time.
Cost of motor could be managed, but getting A123 battery set and its chargers and other electricals where making it move out of my budget. Probably will build one as soon as i get some more money or a good sponsor

Wondering how much the battery pack alone costs..

viny

Cost break down at that time was arround

60K for motor (Agni 72V Motor) Perm 132 could have been cheaper
30K for 72V A123 batteries ( thought was looking more in line of 144v)
30K for Charger Zivan NG5 Charger (550$)
30K for Altrac Controller 24-72V 450Amp (600$)
10K for D2C Convertors 72 to 13V (200$)
2.5K for Throtle
2K for wiring, fuses, connectors etc etc
20K for Bike that needs to be converted to electric
10K for mechanical and electrical work arround building the bike.

Total arround 2Lac

Given the cost, it was hard for me get going with the project I expected it to raise arround 2.5 - 2.8 L due to error and learning methodology. But the machine built would have easily gone at par with any 600CC racing bike, and it would have easily made 60Km in less than 4sec thx to electric motor Killacycle touches than in less than a second (0.8sec) if i am not wrong.

On a single charge it would have gone 60-80kms, top speed would have been 140KMPH to 160KMPH and 80% recharge in less than 10mins of charging (thx a123 batteries) cost per km would have been less than 10paise per km

Any one wanna sponsor the project

The whole project can be done at half the price too, but it would be just an electric bike and not something that you would love to ride daily.


This sound funny and i dont think this is how they would have implemented 2motor, generally 2 motors are used in linear pattern to gain better pickup or intial torque, similar setup is done in killacycle too. Any links to read more about TTX01 configurations ?

There are lot of electric scooterettes in India... i really wonder if there is a market for electric bikes? AFAIK, power isn't controlled by gears.... Can anyone throw some light on this?

Viny?

Would you love to ride a electric bike which gives you powerband of 600cc, comes at half the cost, and operations cost is 100th of the 600cc machine? No Oil Change? No Carb tunings, No airfilter servicing .. so on ..

Power transmission is controlled by gears, Power Output of motor is controlled by controllers.
if you use smaller gears you would get good pickup, good for up hills, if you use big gears, you will get more milleage, higher top speed but low pickup.

I have thought of using cycle gear system in the electric motorcycle, to gain the fun otherwise its as plain as Cars with Automatic transmissions

thanx for the info Viny...

One doubt - just wanted to know if the gears will make the battery to run out of charge faster?

The intial investment seems to be fair to compete with a 600cc gasoline powered bike. So the problem with the bike is that its too powerful and hence of no use in India? Hence no investors?

Why not start with a lesser powerful electric bike? I mean the ones in the market at present are scooterettes and have major reliability issues. Electric bikes in the intial stages will be mostly used within city conditions hence the suggestion.
