Magnetic hybrid motorbike unveiled in Japan

A Japanese vehicle manufacturer unveiled the prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a hybrid magnetic motor, which can run almost noiselessly up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on one charge. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that the battery of the next-generation electric vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the vehicle's maximum speed is capable of reaching 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour).

The company says the futuristic motorbike enjoys high energy efficiency thanks to a state-of-the-art magnetic motor which is a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet. The new motor, called SUMO, short for "super motor," is housed inside the bike's rear wheel. The manufacture says the new motor is seven-times more cost efficient than gas-powered scooters.

Daisuke Ito, a professional racer who test rode the EV-X7 prototype, said it could potentially replace machines we now see in motor races. "I just feel that in the near future, we'll be seeing these kinds of electric motorbikes running all around town. And when that happens, conventional vehicles could disappear from motor racing, too, and well be competing only in electric vehicles."

@AlandaGardol Ciao. A parte che i "generatori magnetici" come probabilmente li intendi tu (che producono energia da soli immagino) non esistono, se leggi la descrizione del video vedrai che si tratta di una moto elettrica, i magneti fanno parte del suo motore elettrico nulla di nuovo.

@AlandaGardol Si tratta di una comunissima (look a parte ) moto elettrica.

@layn333productions What do you mean? Sorry i'm italian so i don't understand very well...

This bike is electric, nice, good but electric as written in the description. A lot of people here (reading the title) think that it's motor run just thanks to the "power of magnets".

@thedudewhobe you say as you sit infront of a computer screen

[layn333productions]

@Bullshithunter71 Isn't it an oxymoron to say an electric motorbike?
