Electric Motorsport's Electric GPR-S ¬
2008-06-01
A zero emissions street legal Electric Motorcycle for light commuters and motorcycle enthusiast alike. The 14.2 kilowatt electric drive system and Hi-Power Lithium batteries allow this light weight electric motorcycle to briskly accelerate to freeway speeds.
I looked forward to the previous model (the Electric GPR) of this $8000 electric motorcycle. This revision sports a maximum range of 60 miles, a top speed of 70mph, and should be coming to North America this summer.
We are now accepting orders for our first 100 production units. Our production goal is to produce 300 units this year. The first 100 Electric GPR-S motorcycles will be numbered special edition units with extra graphics and accessories.
If you were waiting for a Tesla Roadster, pick up one of these for your around-town needs in the meantime.
Electric Derbi GPR ¬
2006-10-06
I’ve been highly considering one of Electric Motorsport’s Electric GPRs for nearly a year now, but the range just isn’t quite there yet for my current fifty mile commute.
One of these sure would be a lot of fun to weave through the s-curves of Vermont roads on a nice sunny day, but the inherent danger of riding a motorcycle (let alone on a long daily commute) is a bit of a put-off for me. However, as I consider all my options, moving closer to work is a definite possibility and doing so would make an electric motorcycle a more realistic choice.
This stuff is always bouncing around my mind and was brought back to the surface again this morning by a post on Treehugger linking to a video of a guy showing off his electric Derbi GPR-50 conversion.
While I’m more impressed that he did the conversion than the footage of him zipping around on it, I did a little searching and came across a post on electricmotorcycles.net in which they spotlight a few electric motorcycle videos on YouTube. The real find here was the footage of Todd Kollin’s AC Electric GPR (I’ve bugged him about this model a lot via e-mail).
I’m still waiting for some newer battery technology (Li-Ion or Li-Polymer) and some regen, but I can dream, can’t I?
