The bike uses two electric motors on both sides, mounted low on aluminum plates. I believe they said it's a 100 volt system. The battery packs are mounted around the engine area. It uses the same batteries as a laptop computer. It can be charged in a couple of hrs. but for best range and power it needs an overnight charge. They will limit the speed to around 75 mph for the IOM race. The race is one lap and last year many entries didn't finish.The bike was at NHMS for a Boston Moto trackday on a Monday and was scheduled to be shipped to the Isle Of Man on that Wednesday for the race.
Once the bodywork is mounted it should look pretty much like a BMW S1000RR trackbike.
