dont know if anyone saw this last night...this lot normally convert classic cars to electric but have done their first motorised cycle which is based on a modern Indian made Royal Enfield.
I think it is quite impressive, range of 100 miles and the test rider was impressed.
The all In cost was £20k which is obviously an awful lot, but that included the cost of the motorised cycle., custom paint and £2500 on 3D printing for the panels that make the battery box look like an engine. Plus an awful lot of engineering to replace the original motor which was part of the chassis. Plus upgrading to disc brake at the rear and LED lights (the headlight is an off the shelf unit and is very smart).
Some will immediately dismiss it as a result of the cost and others because it looks a bit odd.
Others will see it as the future.
And those that live anywhere near traditional 'biker' roads will see it as heaven sent.
