A small insight to the future of bike racing?
would have enjoyed it more if the clocks were visabile.
But hey following the other links from this was worth an hours or two of enjoyment

Ever get the chance to get into a simulator with the TT on screen, do it....such fun!

Its like what the bikes in Start Trek sound like, the future is nearly here. Just have to get the hover part sorted:wacko:

+1, clocks would have been nice. Not opposed to the sound, and he was going flat out.

Pretty cool!

Must be a slightly surreal experience..... guess you still have the wind noise... but those riders ears are finely tuned to every little change in the engine note. And not having gears to assist braking (I presume) Looks very stable though. Any body know the weight compared with a superbike in comparison.

All my video is like that, my sound is broken !!

Dunno how it compares to the current TT zero race bike ( or SBK bike) but:
Dry weight 238kg
Power 150+kW / 200+hp
Torque 220Nm

Make a great green commuter bike !!
I wonder if I could get a subsidy from the Regional Council ??
I could probably get a subsidy from the National govt. If it was Coal Fired steam !!

From what I saw on the tv coverage that mugen is 200kg, they dropped 40kg from last year's bike. Kinda cool sound, but nowhere as awesome as the MV in the supersport races!

Not sent from an iDevice

Wowsers, cool.

Do they even bother with a rear brake or do they just use regen?

How many laps are the TT zero bikes doing? is it 2?

edit: 1 lap roughly 45 minutes.

What for? Do they have clocks? :facepalm:

Not like he needs to know the revs for a gear change.

One to know how fast he is silently going........oh, that might be a speedometer.....
One to see how many amps he is drawing......could be seen as a rev counters equivalent.....
One to see how many kilometers he can travel at full power drain on the battery reserve he is carrying.....like a fuel gauge I guess......

No, dont really know why he may need clocks eh....:facepalm:

Racebikes don't have them..... Rider rides as fast as the bike will go, it as fast as the bike will corner.

Could be handy, but throttle position is the same thing.....

Well, you know. Like Moto GP and F1 playbacks have digitally overlaid clocks so we average folk can see what insane RPM it's pulling. And how fast the crazy guy is going.

Because I'm curious :facepalm:

This future is catching, still couldnt do a lap of the Coro on it tho.

That is very very cool.

I would have no problem switching to electric eventually.

Would most definitely miss the v-twin rumble though.

Pretty sure there will be an ipod app that will sense throttle position, wheel speed etc and simulate the appropriate sounds for whatever engine configuration you fancy, probably even simulate gear changes with the quickshifter pop :)

yeah but you'll run your battery flat letting everybody know....

I was thinking more of just playing it in my helmet :)

Of course I personally like the idea of a "stealth" motorcycle ( I'm old enough to remember Blue Thunder in whisper mode :) )

1 lap only at this point, but they are doing it at 109mp/h, making it about a 20 minute lap.

Nor do I....

Apparently they do watch the dash much more than on the petrol bikes, they have a KM range showing which they are calculating off, and also an amp draw - apparently Michael Rutter was watching his and waiting to pick up the pace on the mountain and the last few miles, hence catching John so quickly over the last section of the lap.

Battery pack changes must be able to be made easily enough, or the bikes design changed to make it so. So there's only the cost of more batteries stopping them from completeling the event proper I guess.

The excitement could come from seeing how many mechanics get burned through hot batteries or shocked though damaged ones! What fun for the family ;)

What fun for the family ;)The excitement could also come, when a bike gets left in the trees for a couple hours after a crash, and starts a forest fire from not being switched off properly too!

500VDC doesn't sound like a lot of fun....

I guess that's another limitation facing EV's, finding mechanics (or automotive electricians as the term may turn) with +400VDC certification....

One of the better on-board views from the IOM, short but very very sweet.

Wow, got a shock when McPint shot past!

Sounds much better than those wind up bikes.
