eCRP Wants Your Help Designing An Electric Superbike

Electric superbike manufacturer eCRP has just launched Next Gen Superbike where you can tell them exactly how you’d like your electric motorcycle. Specific iPhone apps? Plenty of Chrome? Perhaps a Flux Capacitor? Whatever it is, they want your specific input on ideas for accessories to make your electric riding experience even better. When I visited their factory in Italy, they told me how they’d like to have a GPS map of charging stations in the Alps, to make one’s Sunday ride last longer. More on that here.

Luckily for them I am undoubtedly a “Motorcycle Junkie” because I’m certainly no “Gentleman Rider” and neither is racer Shelina Moreda, below. She will pilot the eCRP 1.4 at the Laguna Seca round of the TTXGP July 24th. I’m really looking forward to this race, and from the buzz I’m hearing, it sounds like all the electric bike manufacturers will really show up for this one. Below, you can see Shelina leaving the boys in her dust on her gas bike. On the 24th, we’ll be rooting for her to podium in the TTX75 race.

      I poked around brammofan.com as well as eCRP. I still think the Brammo Empulse with their rumored multi-speed transmission fits what I want better than where the eCRP is going.

      I’m still hoping that a new transmission will bump the top speed up significantly, along with acceleration and range all at the same time. I would totally freak out if they could pull off a roughly 400 lb bike, with 140 mph top speed, 140 mile range, and 0-60 below 4 seconds.

      That’s my personal “four 4’s” that would once and for all eliminate my need for any gas bike ever again. I figure that if not the Empulse 1.5 that is under dev, than maybe the next-generation Empulse 2.0 might pull it off.
