http://www.gizmag.com We've long argued that electric motorbikes make sense - low-emissions, quiet operation, instant torque and hardly any maintenance compared with their gas-guzzling cousins. The sluggish reaction of the established industry players to this e-revolution has created an opportunity for names like Brammo, Vectrix and Zero to try their hand, and now a brand that dares to put the words "electric" and "superbike" in the same sentence. Launched last week in Las Vegas, the 130+ mph, GBP25,000 Mavizen TTX02 is based around a KTM RC8 frame, ships with two Agni motors and boasts a hot-swappable battery and drivetrain architecture. Born from, and bred for, the world's first electric GP, the bike is a "laptop on wheels" that runs on the Linux OS, comes with with integrated IP connectivity and a USB based system bus for open source engine management, and although it's not being sold as a street legal machine, TTXGP founder Azhar Hussain says the package can still provide a pathway from the racetrack to the road.en gizmag.com http://www.gizmag.com/mavizen-ttx02-electric-motorcycle/13321/#comment-10441 http://www.gizmag.com/mavizen-ttx02-electric-motorcycle/13321/#comment-10441 Thu, 19 Nov 2009 07:09:50 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/mavizen-ttx02-electric-motorcycle/13321/#comment-10411 http://www.gizmag.com/mavizen-ttx02-electric-motorcycle/13321/#comment-10411 Wed, 18 Nov 2009 13:56:21 -0600 http://www.gizmag.com/mavizen-ttx02-electric-motorcycle/13321/#comment-10204 http://www.gizmag.com/mavizen-ttx02-electric-motorcycle/13321/#comment-10204 Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:01:27 -0600
