XUD motorcycle anyone ? :o :) :D

Image

XUD by the looks of it (look at thermostat housing) but I'm unable to find out much more information. The URL on the image does work although I cannot really find much information in their forum given the language barrier. The forum the image is from (different) I also should look at, at some point, interesting.

I have always wanted (to make) a TD bike... dont know why ;)

quite like the hybrid things ;)

eCycle estimates the hybrid will have the performance of a 250cc gas motorcycle, except top speed. Zero to sixty in 6 seconds and a top speed of 80mph. Fuel economy estimated at 150mpg with significantly lower emissions. A variety of engines may be used.

although, not about to chop in the VFR**************[VIN obfuscated, can be read by forum staff], which will over take that in 2nd :twisted:

I'd have thought that would outperform a 250cc petrol motorcycle. A Suzuki GN250 with 22BHP takes 12.3 seconds from 0-60mph. I know the XUD bike will be heavier, but it has more than 3 times the power...

ahh sorry Mike my bad.. the speil i posted was about a hybrid petrol/lecky bike, nothing to do with an XUTD ;)
yes that would go well.. 90 hp, loads of torque.. will outperform a fair few big bikes I reckon :)

May need a strong chain though.,.

I bet it'd do about 80mpg too, while outperforming bigger bikes :-) I've had a few, the last one being a Fireblade. I bet the XUD bike is a lot more relaxed to ride. Imagine not having to rev a bike above 2500rpm to make decent progress...

I did wonder about chain life, would of expected shaft drive really as I can imagine that chain not doing very well even a heavy duty one with all that torque...
