Are you with electric moto? Wow...Wow.

Hmmmm

[Greentheory]

No. but I did get my deposit back on the Blade!!

[skadamo]

I had to write up a whole blog post on this bike...

http://plugbike.com/2009/12/11/electric-moto-emax-72ds-based-on-atk-chassis/

I used to own a Cannondale e440 so my jaw hit the floor when I saw that bike.

My mind is full of speculation as to what deals ATK and Electric Moto might have going on. Keep in mind ATK recently struck a rebading and distribution deal with Hyosung (S&T Motors) and select Harley dealerships.

- Distribution in ATK or Harley dealerships?
- Will Hyosung get to rebadge it?

hmm.

Nice blog. I will wait here to see what some electric pros think before I order another bike. Thanks for your help.

I´ve been wating for so long.Hope to ride one of these guns in 2010.

I think the current electric bikes and full sized bikes will have their place. Really wish I could ride them all.

At face value you can't argue with big wheels and big suspension to get over obstacles. Is the weight worth it? Inquiring minds want to know.

I think in the future we will find different disciplines, like trailbikes, Enduros, MX, MTB´s  with E power.
So it`s up to the new owner to find out what`s your favourite riding style.

I think you are right about that. Electric bicycles and motorcycles will meet in the the middle somewhere.

ICE has tried but electric should get us to some cool places...

Well this bike looks like it about 5 years behind the rest of the electric bike companies out there. By the looks of it Ely Schless didn't have any input in this bike. I think this bike will sink like the Blade XT. Looks to have the same batteries and motor of the XT, but without the "built to suit" chassis. This bike is a convertion of an existing rolling chassis of an ATK. Electric Motorsport have been doing these types of converions for years.
Here are a few more specs I think are in this bike................................

- 22-23 Thunder sky 40ah batteries (120amps cont, 400 amp pulse)
- Alltrax 7234 controller
- PMG 132 Perm motor

This bike has about 2.8 kwh of storage (good) but without the kick. It would have to pull 200 amps to reach 14kw of power. The batteries can only pull 120amps continuous giving the bike only under 9kw of power. (not enough to reach 60mph).

This bike is a good start, but it needs more work before it can go to market

Hi Jürgen, I´ve seen your tuning and like it
Is there a chance to buy a Blade from you? It
could be a tuned one or a regular.
So where do you come from? I couldn`t find any information.

This company seems to be suffering from lack of investment just like Brammo. End of April 2010 their web site posted they were on the verge of getting financing and would be updated soon. fastforward 1 year 4 months and nothing has happened apparently and their bikes are not available for sale. Really sad!
