First electric motorbike Mavizen TTX02 launched in UK

TTX02, known as the world’s first electric sport bike, was launched in the UK on December 15 and is currently available for pre-order.

Dubbed as the ‘laptop on wheels’, the superbike has a dedicated IP address and is capable of connecting with most electronic devices, such as smart phones and MP3 players. The electric bike can be connected as well from any browser through an onboard web server and Wi-Fi.

TTX02 was designed by Azhar Hussain, whose first electric bike competition on the Isle of Man took newspaper headlines earlier this year. As an entrepreneur with various experiences in consumer electronics, he emphasized that the development of TTX02 demonstrates the automotive industry’s present success that was previously seen in electronic hardware only.

TTX02 will be available for release in the first quarter of 2010, with limited production of up to 50 units. With a Circuit Pack, the bike  is expected to cost about £25,000.

Hussain is the founder of TTXGP, the world’s first zero carbon motorbike race which was held in June this year. The design of TTX02 has been inspired by the winning motorcycle Agni X01, which was developed by TTXGP’s manufacturing arm Mavizen.

Meanwhile, TTXGP had earlier confirmed that three motorbike racing events will take place in the UK from 3 July to 11 September next year for the UK Championship 2010. The race is in concurrence with the TTXGP North American Championship, which will be held in May 2010. The winners from both TTXGP events will contend in a grand finale race in November next year.
