World's largest electric motorcycle claims a remarkable 450-mile range

Pitched as a near-future electric touring bike, the Felo TOOZ has a top speed of 125 mph, a hand-of-God mid-range, and a range of 720 kilometers per charge (450 miles). Those numbers suggest it will be one of the largest motorcycles on the road, regardless of engine type, because that's a lot of battery capacity required to go that far on one charge.

The biggest promise the TOOZ makes is high levels of technological connectivity to your phone (AKA life), and the ability to output multimedia through the 12" TFT dashboard with sound via a 6-channel surround sound speaker system.

That laptop-sized screen is also used by the navigation system, and there were no demonstrations available of how the proposed 360-degree view camera system displays.

There's also a Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS), ABS and a traction control system, and if, more likely when it reaches market, no doubt there will be more technological capability on board.

The intention is to make it easy to continue your digital life when on your motorcycle and we expect many of these features to be incorporated into future offerings from Felo and fellow-brand RAPID.

This actually makes sense for countries like Japan or Taiwan, for example Gogoro, to “fill up”, you pop the battery at the station and swap for another and off you go.

electric car will not take off, you will need to make ‘filling’ up faster.

it looks huge.

i wonder how heavy it is to get back off the ground?

Setting that close to a battery and motor can’t be good for the crotch department wonder when they fall off.

[ganeemead]

That totally defeats the entire purpose of motorcycles.

great sales pitch, but i don’t care much about per charge range with any battery. want to know the lifetime range for the battery. how many charges/discharges and how many accidental discharges can it sustain. also want to know the replacement price.

to cut the sales person a little slack, i don’t expect them to know the explosion and tech parameters (physics) for their battery. i look that up for myself.

“Claims” is the key word. They all claim more than real life displays.

Somebody ripped off BMW styling.
