Naxeon I AM electric motorcycle
Richard230:
This looks like another feature-laden electric city motorcycle concept to me. The company appears to be Chinese. One thing that caught my eye is they claim that they are (or will be?) using "semi-solid state" batteries that have greater performance than current lithium batteries. It would be interesting to know which brand of batteries they are using. The "technical video" shows some unusual electronic features, such as a system that tells when a rider is sitting on the bike (nothing new there for air-bag equipped cars) and another feature that identifies the rider (the Chinese face-recognition system, perhaps?). I assume that is a theft-preventive feature. Maybe they should back off on the electronic features a bit and concentrate on manufacturing and marketing a basic bike that will get you around town, instead of one that will play tunes and put on a light show for you. ::) However, those are a lot of electronic gadgets for 7,400 Euros. Who needs to actually ride anywhere when you can sit in your garage and watch a light show. ;)

By solid state, I am assuming they mean no chemical reaction taking place? Which would make it a capacitor then? They do have some cap based power supplies out, Kilowatt Labs is one company but i am not sure they are still functioning. They are a bit heavy but the tech looks awesome. They can take a pretty large amp draw and claim 1mm cycles, which is not bad at all!
I agree though, stop with the whistles and bells and how about some base functionality and reliability for a change.

Edit: Have to put the cigarette lighter back into the vehicles so one can light their doobie to woof while laxing and watching the light show. Weed and WiFi, what else could one possibly want? ::)
All the gizmoy stuff in the handlebars, while looking nice and nifty, how much is it going to cost to fix / replace all that stuff when the thing tips over, which it WILL at some point or another?
Id not be too keen on the connectivity either. That is one big thing that turns me OFF on the Rivian, I don't want the vehicle connected constantly with stuff automatically updating and basically spying on me. You drove too many miles today, YOU charged during peak hours, your driving privelage is SUSPENDED for 3 days!! I don't want ANYone else besides me with the ability to turn the thing on or off, police, govt, or anyone!
Definitely am interested in what they combined battery tech is? Have to be careful on that though, don't want it to be just like the Hybrid cars, where it's just more stuff to go wrong.

LOL, it's China, they are 100% surveilled already. And I guess you won't be buying any new cars or bikes ever again. My Zero is "spying" on me also. And the Tesla...whooooboy, I even let them use the driving habits for an insurance discount. (Which is huge when I drive, and a little lower when the wife drives a lot, she's aggressive.) I'll happily trade my soul for a discount, yes.
I'm glad my Zero knows if it's being stolen, and don't give one flying fuck if Zero the company knows where I go.

How about when your state declares an energy emergency, and no-non critical loads can be on the grid.
Your charging, it can wait, we'll disable your bike until the crisis is over.
so you have to go to work, soddy choddy, you can pay a 50 dollar excursion fine or just wait it out.
Rolling blackouts are coming very soon, planned rolling blackouts, the more they can control you, the more they can force you to comply with their wishes. But hey, if you are happy with that cool. Don't get caught wasting electric on a light show during peak hours though or they'll take your weed away too and disable your lighter !! Butane lighters have long been outlawed because of the CO2 they emit.
