Experimental Electric Land Rover Defender.
The Electric Defender has all the qualities and performance you'd expect, full all-terrain capability, permanent 4WD and a top speed of 70mph.
However, it has been engineered in-house by Land Rover to test out the latest sustainable technologies. The vehicle's Hill Descent Control is linked to a regenerative braking function, and overall up to 80 per cent of the car's kinetic energy can be recovered. Land Rover's acclaimed Terrain Response system has been adapted for electric drive, offering a 50-mile range with a reserve of a further 12.5 miles. The result is a zero tailpipe emissions vehicle like no other; eight hours of low-speed off-road use is achievable, and it takes 10 hours for the advanced lithium-ion batteries to be fully charged. 'Fast-charge' technology reducing that to just four hours is also possible. |
A sunny drive in this ultimate off-road legend, the Land Rover Defender, 100% electric and impressively robust. This is an experimental vehicle, not for sale, yet. But clearly Land Rover are thinking about electric versions of their vehicles. Jan 2014

The Vectrix 'Superbike' Unveiled.

Vectrix prototype electric Superbike photo compilation.

Vectrix showed an impressive 125mph electric superbike concept at the 2007 Milan show. Vectrix said it would produce this impressive 125mph electric superbike if enough people (500) were interested and placed a deposit. The only major downside to the machine is the 70km battery range.
Be warned, this video is 59 second of pure kitsch the bike though isn't.

The Kawasaki J, Interesting Concept or Aberration?
The Kawasaki J has three wheels. However it uses more than one mode, allowing it to transition to a sports bike, making the two front wheels mesh together. In that mode, the vehicle also lowers, closer to the ground.
The bike was recently unveiled at the Tokyo Motor Show. Housing an all electric motor, when the rider is taking part in leisurely, slow cruises, or stop and go trips through the city, the two wheels remain separated and the handlebars raise offering the driver more comfort. It's during the fast speed, highway type of rides, the tires comes together and the bars lower, allowing the rider to have optimal positioning and posture. The basic idea behind the bike is for it to stretch out as speeds increase. The radical and mean looking machine has been generating some serious buzz since the premiere, however it is just a concept for now. Kawasaki did not release any plans to put it into production. source: Electric Vehicle News. |
