dan williams Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 So EM can’t make bikes fast enough. The world is going electric. Beta hasn’t released a major upgrade since 2013. Beta now makes kiddie electrics. So… any rumors on development on a full sized Beta electric? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wardo78 Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Great question, I love my 4t, and thanks to you the clutch is amazing, but... I'd REALLY like an electric bike. Preferrably at the same price point as your average gasser. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted May 29, 2021 Author Share Posted May 29, 2021 I’m glad it’s working for you.😁 I’m hoping for the Beta electric so I don’t have to buy all new gear. 🤪 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trapezeartist Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 There's a lot of clever electronics in the Electric Motion, and it's taken them a few years to perfect it. Beta (and all others) now have to develop a motor/battery/control system to match EM before they dare to launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dan williams Posted June 6, 2021 Author Share Posted June 6, 2021 A lot of the semiconductor companies have workable reference designs for motor control and battery management systems. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pindie Posted June 10, 2021 Share Posted June 10, 2021 Surely the big manufacturers have already bought a number of EM machines and are reverse engineering to create their own machine? They are mad if not. What happened to the Yamaha sparky? I personally am excited about the electric future. If nothing else it opens up many more riding opportunities including hours in your own garden without annoying neighbours. I can’t see many negatives. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you swear as much as I do when you fall off I think you will annoy the neighbours. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
