After long months of work, Triumph unveils its electric motorcycle, called TE-1. But you’re not going to get on it right away!
With the TE-1, Triumph once again proves that pleasure and pistonless engines seem to be completely compatible. But the British brand also demonstrates that the world of motorcycling still has its work cut out for it to develop mass-produced electric mobility…
This model, a simple demonstrator of Triumph’s know-how, portends the future of a battery range… whose first version should not arrive before 2024, at best!
The TE-1, developed on the basis of Mira tests in the United Kingdom, sports the Triumph identity and presents itself as a sports roadster with the ergonomics of the Street Triple.
The capacity of its battery is not communicated, but the TE-1 has a range of 161 kilometers. With 110 Nm of torque and 130 kW on the rear wheel, or 177 hp, the front tire might not wear much.
However, Triumph has made a very advanced development of electronic aidsso that they correspond to the particular characteristics of an electric motor.
The engineers thus worked on four different driving modes, on reverse assistance, on traction control and on a regenerative braking system helping to recharge the batteries.
The weight of this prototype is limited to 225 kg (a feat), and the performances promise to be amazing: 0 to 100 km/h absorbed in 3.7 secondsand 0 to 100 mph (161 km/h) in 6.2 seconds.
And for those who criticize electric two-wheelers for the time it takes to “fill” their battery, Triumph mentions a charge from 0 to 80% of only 20 minutesthanks to a maximum charging power of 15 kW.
