Triumph TE-1 Electric Motorcycle

Triumph has revealed their spectacular electric motorcycle design as the bike rolls closer to production. The mighty TE-1 is based on the Street and Speed Triple motorcycles and was co-develop with Williams Advanced Engineering that managed to equip the bike with a 15 kWh battery that pushes a peak output of 170 kW, equivalent to roughly 228 horsepower, with a continuous output of 130 kW, or around 174 horsepower. It was also fitted with a Gates Carbon belt drive, Ohlins RSU suspension, Brembo M50 monobloc calipers, and the proprietary Triumph motorcycle control software. The final Phase 4 of the development cycle will come next, and will include a variety of track testing variables.
