Here is another electric motorcycle startup review. At least the author got a chance to actually ride the pre-production model and was able to comment on it. While it may not look like a Zero, reading the specifications makes it appear as if it is using some Zero components, such as the battery pack, drive belt and maybe the motor and controlled too. But it is hard to tell for sure as the fairing parts pretty much fully enclose the guts of the bike.   It is a Chinese company that appears to be interested in marketing their bike in the EU. One refreshing part of the article is that the company didn't seem to be trolling for investors, so perhaps they already have enough money in their piggy bank to keep the business rolling.    https://thepack.news/test-review-ts-bravo-from-alrendo-motorcycles/

I'm not good at physics but a 245 kg motorcycle with 11 kW nominal power being able to reach 135 km/h seems very optimistic. Just doesn't make sense to make a bike this big with so little power.

[TheRan]

The 11kW continuous output is just a licensing loophole, same as the 11kW Zeros. Peak power is 20kW which should be enough, weight doesn't have as big of an effect on top speed as it does on acceleration (so it'll take a fair bit longer to get there compared to an "11kW" Zero that peaks at 33kW and weighs 145kg).

This is actually the third thread we've had on this bike, the first that I made back in January and then they said it was going to peak at 58kW (75hp) and weigh 200kg. I was strongly considering getting one with those numbers but not now.
