Quantya Power:

     Torque:    23.23 ft-lbs (31.5 Nm)
    HP:      16.09 HP (12 kW)
   weight: 195 lbs

Zero MX:
    Torque     50 ft-lbs
    HP     23 bhp
   weight: 126 lbs

KTM:
    Torque     33 ft-lbs
    HP 30 bhp
   weight 198.4 lbs

Interesting single crown fork on the Supermoto.

OT: does anybody know something about Suzuki and Electric MX Bike?

Post by: skadamo on March 24, 2010, 09:28:49 PM: Yeah, I don't see any other way to get the battery out. I wrote up a summary of my observations here...

Do those rims look smaller than full size MX rims? I'm talking width.

You can see a hinge below the "instrument cluster"?

Post by: picasso on March 24, 2010, 09:34:36 PM: Not sure Id use the term "hot swapable" in your write up. I think just removable will do. I don't think you will be changing out the battery as you "ride" hence the HOT part doesn't apply.

rims look like norm moto dirt rims to me, most are skinny.

Post by: skadamo on March 24, 2010, 11:07:47 PM: Good points, thanks for the input.

"hot swapable" guess your right. That term is thrown around kind of loosely. I will update.

Post by: picasso on March 25, 2010, 08:56:10 AM: Of note is the brake setup. Im a little shocked KTM went with that setup. Talking of the lack of foot brake. Zero went the other way for its new line and added the foot brake.

It also surprises me, specially after testing the Quantya at the track. I think 80% of the users would prefer a foot brake

Post by: skadamo on March 26, 2010, 07:01:15 PM: I would personally like the hand brake. The only reason is I prefer it for wheelies. :D Never figured out the back brake on my dirtbike while wheelieing.
