Remember 1250 Roehr SC? The esoteric American supercar, powered by the Harley Davidson Revolution, which appeared a couple of years ago, aims to become the new hyper sport overseas, but it is, alas, untraceable. We are not in a position to know, in fact, if someone in America has bought the replicas produced by Walter Roehrich, but following the events of the company we have the impression that its holder has opted for a strong exchange of views.
The fact Roehr has veered far horizons, launching in the field of electric propulsion and does so with a decidedly different approach from the original and the new eSuperSport it amply demonstrates.
It is an electric sports car built using the base of the Hyosung Comet GT 650R. The operation took place under a close collaboration between the North American importer of Hyosung Roher. The well-known Korean twin was deprived of the power plant, replaced with “drivetrain” Roehrich that has developed.
This is an AC induction motor 50 kW, which rotates the rear wheel directly through a chain of 12/60.
The electrical power required is stored in a battery pack designed by Roehr, composed of elements LiFePO4 should ensure that heavy use of cycles by delivering high energy densities in complete safety. The capacity is 7.7 kW, capable of ensuring the eSuperSport a range of about 120 km with a charging time of less than 7 hours using the onboard charger 1500 watt. The tip velocistiche insurance is about 160 km / h, and the declared weight is only 213 kg.
The objective of Roehr is to provide the public with the super power more cheaply available in the world. In fact, the price at which you can book eSuperSport is contained in “only” $ 17,995 (€ 12,600 at current exchange rates), which, however, on closer inspection, are still more than twice the value of the bike to start. We’re not entirely sure, in fact, that the final customer is willing to double an investment to choose a bike that, willingly or unwillingly, has lower performance than that of departure. In addition, it is still everything to prove that at this moment the electric motor in need of low cost products, it is still a market ultranicchia is surely more likely that those who seek power do so for a motorcycle reasons of exclusivity in making an ecological choiceAnd therefore are looking for a refined and exclusive product that is included in the look.
