TT Zero on board

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

Pretty cool!

What for? Do they have clocks?

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

So he knows when the pubs open.

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....

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.....

Race bikes don't have these either.....

Nor do I....

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

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

Don;t forget the clock that shows carbon credits!

It would get me to work and back in style though

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 )

[neil_cb125t]

sounds better than I expected

[MOTOXXX]

sounds like an electric bus.

its not the same, burn them all.

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

edit: 1 lap roughly 45 minutes.

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

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.
