It probably may not be as fast or even sound like a Ducati Desmosedici RR, but the TTX01 claiming to be the world’s fastest all-electric motorbike was unveiled at the NEC International Bike Show and is already road-legal in the UK.
The TTX01 was commissioned by TTX GP founder Azhar Hussain and designed and built by British engineers for world’s first Emissions-free Grand Prix for motorbikes to be held at the Isle of Man next year.
Built around an old GSX-750 chassis, suspension and bodywork, the TTX01 claim it can go from 0-60mph in 3.
5 seconds and at top speed 125mph is enough to give most modern day motorcycles a run for their money in real world riding conditions.
The TTX01 runs on two battery-powered motors designed by Brighton based Agni Motors attached to its rear wheel.
It is rated at about 86 brake horsepower, equivalent to the peak power of a standard 600cc racing bike.
The final version, due out in a year’s time, will have a frame made from lightweight carbon composite materials.
It will also incorporate technologies such as regenerative braking, to increase its range.
