Oh, one other thing – it’s electric.
But what does that really mean these days? Well, there’ll be the heroes who claim they need a bike with a 350-mile range before they’ll even consider it, then toddle off on their Charley Boorman mobiles to a country pub and call it an adventure.
There’ll be the hand-wringers who worry about electric infrastructure, conveniently overlooking the fact that they’ve had the lights on at home their entire life and it’s been quite a while since they were gas-fired. Then there’ll be people like us who are keen as mustard at the idea of a bike we can recharge at home, that requires hardly any maintenance and makes as much power accelerating off the line as it does at the license-surrendering end of the rev range.
At this point, you may notice that it’s not a road-going motorcycle just yet. But it’s not pie-in-the-sky wouldn’t-it-be-nice folderol either. The motor was developed by Integral Powertrain, a specialist powertrain company (imagine that) founded by ex-Cosworth engineers. Their creation is all-new for the TE-1 and weighs just 10kg but is capable of 180 horsepower.
Similarly, Williams Advanced Engineering created an entirely new battery that it’s promising will be lighter, more powerful and have more range than anything we’ve seen before. And sure, we could promise that the next dinner we cook will actually be the tastiest in the world, but the proof of the pudding has always been and will always be in eating.
That said, this is Williams – a company not renowned for a) outlandish claims b) going off half-cocked or c) being anything but entirely too serious about what they’re doing. So when its senior commercial manager says they have a game-changing battery, we’re inclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. Also, when that manager makes a point of saying how “beautifully neat” the installation will be, it gives you some indication of what they’re about over at Williams.
Warwick Manufacturing Group – the University of Warwick’s applied science, technology and engineering facility – handles modeling and simulation of William’s battery, Integral’s powertrain, and Triumph’s chassis and how they work together.
Clearly, the simulations are saying pretty damn well because the Triumph-Williams-Integral supergroup is moving on to prototyping the TE-1 this year before it’s released as a bona fide road-going model at… erm, some point. Can. Not. Wait.
The Rise of Electric Motorcycles
The demand for eco-friendly transportation options has seen a significant rise in recent years. With concerns about environmental sustainability and increasing fuel prices, many individuals are turning to electric vehicles as a viable alternative. This shift towards electrification has extended to the motorcycle industry as well, paving the way for innovative manufacturers like Triumph to develop high-performance electric motorcycles.
Introduction to Triumph’s Electric Motorbike
Triumph’s new electric motorbike combines sleek design with cutting-edge technology. Built on the foundation of their iconic model range, this motorcycle aims to provide riders with an electrifying experience while minimizing environmental impact. It boasts impressive acceleration, top speeds, and advanced features that make it competitive with traditional combustion-powered bikes.
The Collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering
To create a truly groundbreaking electric motorbike, Triumph sought out collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering – an offshoot of the successful Williams Formula One team renowned for their expertise in energy storage systems. Together, they aimed to develop a battery technology that would push the boundaries of performance and range in electric motorcycles.
The Next-Gen Williams Battery Technology
At the heart of Triumph’s new electric motorbike lies their next-generation battery technology crafted by Williams Advanced Engineering. This partnership brings together the expertise from both companies to produce an innovative power source capable of delivering exceptional performance and range.
The Williams battery incorporates cutting-edge lithium-ion cell technology, ensuring high energy density and efficient power delivery. This technology not only enhances the overall performance of the motorbike but also significantly extends its range, eliminating concerns about limited travel distances.
Advantages of Triumph’s Next-Gen Electric Motorbike
Triumph’s collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering has resulted in several advantages for the electric motorbike:
a) Increased Power and Torque
The next-gen Williams battery offers enhanced power and torque delivery, providing riders with exhilarating acceleration. The instant torque characteristic of electric motors coupled with this advanced battery system ensures an impressive riding experience without compromising on performance.
b) Extended Range
One of the primary concerns for electric motorcycles is range anxiety – fear of running out of battery power during long rides. Triumph’s new electric motorbike addresses this concern by incorporating the high-capacity Williams battery. Riders can now enjoy extended journeys without worrying about finding a charging station at regular intervals.
c) Faster Charging Times
Williams Advanced Engineering’s expertise in energy storage systems is evident in the rapid charging capabilities of Triumph’s electric motorbike. The next-gen Williams battery allows for faster charging times, reducing downtime during long trips. With compatible charging infrastructure, riders can conveniently recharge their motorcycles in a matter of minutes instead of hours.
d) Enhanced Safety Features
Triumph has prioritized safety in their next-gen electric motorbike. The advanced battery technology features robust thermal management systems to prevent overheating and ensure stable operation even under extreme conditions. Additionally, comprehensive safety protocols are integrated into the motorcycle to protect riders from any potential electrical hazards.
Environmental Sustainability & Benefits
Triumph’s commitment to environmental sustainability is reflected in their shift towards electric motorcycles powered by the next-gen Williams battery:
a) Reduced Emissions
Electric motorcycles produce zero tailpipe emissions, reducing air pollution and minimizing carbon footprints. By opting for an electric motorbike, riders can contribute to a cleaner and greener environment.
b) Noise Pollution Reduction
Traditional combustion-powered motorcycles are often associated with noise pollution, especially in urban areas. Electric motorcycles, on the other hand, operate quietly, reducing noise levels and creating a more peaceful riding experience for both riders and bystanders.
c) Lower Operational Costs
With rising fuel prices, the cost of traditional motorcycles’ maintenance and refueling can be significant. Electric motorcycles offer a more cost-effective alternative as they require less maintenance and have lower operational costs per mile traveled.
Conclusion
Triumph’s partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering has resulted in an exceptional electric motorbike powered by their next-gen battery technology. With increased power, extended range, faster charging times, enhanced safety features, and environmental sustainability benefits, this electric motorcycle showcases the future of two-wheeled transportation. As Triumph continues to push boundaries and innovate within the industry, we can expect even greater advancements in electric mobility in the years to come.
