Lito Sora
May 21, 2011 Leave a Comment
Lito, a Montreal based company, has launched the Sora, an electric motorcycle with attitude. The motorcycle manages to include both bobber and café racer style influences despite the lack of an ICE. It features a belt drive with a beautifully machines rear swing arm. The chassis is constructed from aluminium and the bodywork is made out of carbon fibre. With such a specification it isn’t likely to be cheap but they have managed to produce a striking motorcycle that might convert fans of ICE naked bikes to electric motoring.BMW striking Concept C scooter

Triumph is expected to launch two new models to compete in the adventure on-/offroad segment, where traditionally BMW has been very strong with its R1200GS and F800GS. The Triumph Tiger has operated in this segment, but the current model arguably has too much of a road focus. As part of their launch campaign Triumph has launched a dedicated website.

This is the new electric motorcycle launched by Brammo which will be sold besides their current model Enertia. The motorcycle comes in three different guises, Empulse 6.0, Empulse 8.0, & Empulse 10.0, where the number refers to the range of the batteries, being 60, 80 or 100 miles respectively. The motorcycle combines streetfighter and cafe racer design into a very attractive package, which is somewhat reminiscent of Italian motorcycles.
