Arc Vector motorbike connects to rider
    2018-11-28  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

This is the new Arc Vector, a US$115,300 electric bike that’s been designed in Britain and been lauded as the most advanced motorcycle ever made.

Built by a team of engineers in Coventry, it has a flyweight carbon structure, performance parts lifted directly from MotoGP and uses an electric power cell that produces 399 units of voltage. That means it can rip from stationary* to 100 kph in 3.1 seconds and onto a top speed of 193 kph for a range of 322 km.

But more impressive is that it comes with a jacket that alerts the rider to dangers around them and a helmet that projects vital information, such as their speed, revs* and a rear-view camera, on the visor* to make you feel like Iron Man on a bike.

The lightweight chassis and carbon components used for the rear and unusual front swing-arms mean this machine weighs just 220 kg, even with a bulky electric power plant onboard and used exotic* parts.

The Zenith helmet has been designed in collaboration with British company Hedon and has satellite navigation* and ancillary* graphics projected onto the rider’s visor so they can keep their eyes affixed to the road.

The bespoke* jacket, called Origin, has human machine interface* technology applied too. It’s fitted with technology that alerts the rider of potential hazards as well as providing dynamic performance-based feedback with smartphone-style vibrating notifications*.

Tailored in collaboration with bike-protection firm Knox, the jacket can also play music and tell the rider how close to the limit of the motorcycle’s capabilities they are based on factors such as how hard they brake or open the throttle*.

In short, you’ll feel like Tony Stark riding to your next Avengers mission.(SD-Agencies)
