An electronic superbike-Mavizen TTx02 has been launched in the market by the organisers of the TTXGP e-bike Grand Prix series. The approach was to find how to "make a laptop go racing". The bike has been nicknamed as 'laptop on wheels'.



1) The bike is based on the Agni X01 machine that won the inaugural TTXGP at the Isle of Man TT races in June 2009 and is aimed at privateer racers wishing to take part in the 2010 TTXGP series.
2) The 02 uses the same drive train as the Agni bike, including a pair of electric motors with a peak power output of 70 kW (94bhp) and a continuous output rating of 40kW (53bhp).
3) To make the 02 as flexible as the racing machines as possible, it will be available with three battery pack options.
4) The Circuit Pack will have a 6kWh capacity and is said to be good for around 25 miles of hard track use and 38 miles of 'hard' or 60 miles of 'gentle' road racing.
5) The Snaefell Pack is rated at 11kWh and should last 40 miles on the track or between 75 and 130 miles on the road and will be hot swappable.
6) There will be a 3kWh Sprint Pack, which is aimed at track races of six miles or less.
7) The machine has a dry weight of 130kg, which rises to 160kg with the 6kWh pack installed.
8) The production will be limited to 50 units and the price of the Circuit Pack machine is expected to be around 25,000 pounds and deliveries will commence in first quarter of 2010.
9) The 02's control systems are all Linux based, and each bike will come with its own IP address so teams can access telemetry data using a web browser.
10) The bikes have a built-in web server and Wi-Fi radio.
11) The bike will also have a USB-based system bus.
12) The USB port is hidden under what on a regular bike would be the petrol tank filler cap.


So dear friends, do you think this concept will really work ?

Its a new concept of a bike runned by a laptop technology. It is a beginning of the making of digital bikes in the market. I think it will get a good response from the market since everybody invites new technologies

I doubt whether people's response towards this bike would be positive or not. This bike consists of lot of complicated technologies and complications which is not too easy to be understood by a common man. Also, with so many digital technology, its price would be too high for a middle class man to purchase. So, I don't think it will get a warm welcome in the market.
