The large tubbing is signature. Please keep that. Makes the bike look bold but still flexible.
Nailed it!!!
It's not a petrol bike, I think every electric bike should keep it in mind.
Really love that it doesn't need any plastics. The body is all tubes. Very good lines.
The bigger tube really makes up for what the eye is missing when looking for a traditional motorcycle’s additional parts that are unneeded on this. I agree with everyone about the looks, they scream what I’ve grown to love about the styling of cafe racers, Triumph’s, and Ducati’s. The white frame tastefully stands out drawing the focus of the eyes in and also hiding all of the components while maintaining that focus. I think either the color of the kickstand or maybe just the straight shape of the kickstand seemingly being on the underside of the bottom takes away from some of its natural curve and flow. I also wondered about how not having the ability to grip the tank with your thighs plays into riding. Overall I’m blown away by the minimalist sense of it from the spectacular tube design, brake lights to the super useful side indicators/blinkers which are perfectly designed along with the handle bars. It’s very approachable and screams, “RIDE ME” Awesome work!!
Good for you, I like the fact that you're thinking outside the square.
It's clean, simple and a great design.
Glad you like it! We will do an update on it next year :)
Take my money 🎉
The best electric motorcyles you see on RUclips never make it out of the design shop, but you still have to admire the creativity.
This one will be sold in a limited quantity to start with :)
Stunning. Would like it even more with a belt drive.
As an option, but there may be issues as there is no adjustment on the swing arm which could prove challenging for utility / design.
@@sirswali8044 The motor adjusts in the frame to get round that.
That is awesome! That electric bike looks so beautiful, tough, sturdy and powerful at the same time. It's one of the best design I've seen from an individual bike builder.
I dig it! Looks beefy but nimble. Love the fat tires! Plenty of rubber and proportional to the frame. Well done!! Consider leveling out the seat a bit. Maybe a bit of an incline on the front? Overall, I'd definitely consider a purchase of this style. The looks are Stellar!
Can’t stress the simplicity of electric bikes enough, rebuilt mine to electric for under $2500 a few years back. Mine’s got a 72V, 4.2kWh, 220A pushing battery pack built from sanyo GA 18650s. I got the unused batteries for a steal from an auction
I'm still riding a 40 year old petrol bike though.
Love the frame on this bike 🔥
We do as well :) Such a great design! Can't wait to do a part 2 with the production model (which is rumoured to be even more EPIC!)
Впечатляющий поворот в дизайне, который можно совершенстовать в дальнейшем и довести до хай-энд минимализма. Я представляю себе титановые некрашеные трубы и более футуристические светильники. Это очень кайфовая работа, удачи вам во всем!!!
I like the frame, you could sell these frames all day to people who want to convert a Sur Ron to a street bike.
Not a bad idea, let's see what Adam will do with it in the future but we are looking forward to the complete production bike next year :)
I'm looking to build tube frame myself is there anyway I can reach you
@@electricmotorfeedANY updates?
I build my own electric bikes too! for me Electric bikes are the way of the future. Just the simplicity and no noise, you can sneak up on people!
it is great to be stealth, until you are face to face with a huge wild boar who didnt hear you coming...
The thing about a tank is also the way you use it when transferring your weight around, particularly off road.
I think you need something wider ahead of the seat. Not needing to be a tank means it can be designed totally for that purpose
Gospel of Jesus Christ John 3:16 For God So loved the world that he gave his only Begotten Son that whosoever believes in Him should not Perish but have Everlasting Life. Jesus Christ Died for the sin of the World, If you believe in ur heart God risen Jesus from the dead and confess him with ur mouth to people you shall be saved. Jesus said I Am The only way to heaven there is no other way! Repent of urs sins (Repent means Change ur Mind turning away from sinful things and being truly sorry for it.) trust Jesus and give ur life to him He Loves you cares about you more than anyone ever will! we are saved By Grace Trough Faith!,this is sin: Romans 6:23 For the wages of sin is death but the gift of eternal life in our Lord Jesus Christ. Romans 3:23 For all have sined and felt short of the Glory of God. For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who hold the truth in unrighteousness; because that which may be known of God is manifest in them; for God hath shewed it unto them. For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse: because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened. And changed the glory of the uncorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds, and fourfooted beasts, and creeping things. Romans 1:18-21, 23 KJV Or do you not know that wrongdoers will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God. 1 Corinthians 6:9-10 REPENT OR YOU WILL PERISH REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL GET RIGHT WITH GOD LORD JESUS CHRIST...,
while what you said is certainly true, I don't think for this design you need a "tank". The rider's knees are already holding on to the frame, similar to the tank on petrol bikes. If it need to be bigger, a strategically placed rubber padding would be fine.
@@VuLamDang Yep, what I would suggest is a modular/adjustable attachment.
It's about leverage, you want to be able to put force into the frame behind the steering head both in and down.
and also for steep down hills and braking.
Also when you really need to get on the brakes it's nice to be able to squeeze the tank rather than handle all that stopping force with your arms.
Love it. There are a number of high-end e-motorcycles out there, but this one feels down-to-earth.
You could put a number of cylindrical batteries inside your hollow tubing, like pulled from a Tesla.
There are companies that make kits to convert dirt bikes but could easily be used to make a Ebike.
What i love about the death to petrol is the frame! I'd love to have one might have to try and build my own.
This is the most beautiful beam frame I have ever seen👍great job
Those industrial looking brake levers are awesome, in fact the overall chunkiness of this bike look really good. that oversized tubing really makes up for the eyes looking for a engine and tank that are not there, great work.
Lovely little bike! The thicker tubing makes all the difference. Want one in orange!
Sadly it would be stolen within the first few hours in London think I will stick to my motorcycle for now until they invent a bike that will cripple a thief
We should invent some kind of electric shock system whenever someone touches the bike ;)
@@electricmotorfeed3000v should do the trick 😂
There's no England now
Dunno about London, but if you had a shock antithief feature in Toronto, it would need the mother of all batteries.... someone would be jumping on it at least once an hour if it was parked on the street.
@@JordanInHealdsburgWhere are You from?..
Two words................... Love it 👍
Beautiful bike 👍
great engineering! Looks simple, that is the real nice thing about this bike, awesome!
I am well versed in electric transport and I will say that this is ideal! Technically, everything is done as correctly as possible, but everything that I don’t like is a matter of taste
It is clear that the person understands the topic I know a lot of projects, but everywhere I don’t like something, but here is my respect
It looks so beautiful
I would sell my soul to get my hands on one right now. I am building an electric YZ450F supermoto right now. This bike is just my style. Really looking forward to seeing where this goes in the future. I will have my eye on this one for sure!
Looks great! Aesthetically, I would prefer indicators with more certainty on direction of travel. Maybe bar end indicators like light disks in the grip.
I'm a TCMax rider and really like the ideas around this and it's still in dev.So far:-
Unknowns:
Pricing bracket [anything above £3 5k would lessen appeal]
Power output
Range
Decibel at revs
Likes:
Tubular thickness
Striking aesthetics
Balance
adjustable peggage
Off road appeal
Dislikes:
Thin sloping seat (ma nuts!)
Indicators smallness and location [easily obscured]
Sounds pretty darn noisy for ev bike
Lack of width betwix the knees
Name could be tweaked...
Overall excited for them and the ev moped/bike sector but pricing will define its take up crucially. Good luck sir!
Best looking bike I've seen.
Beautiful! Well done 👍⭐️
As petrol prices are going high n this one really eye catching with the speed and the simple looks man i would love to have one to ride it all day and won't be home sick anymore 🥹
Amazing, lets hope he can make a few and sell them! Live and work in London and this is exactly what I'm looking for!!
would retrofit with some side panels to help with aerodynamics and hide controller.
Love the KIS principle "Keep it simple" keep the bike fun & affordable
The 90's Harris Magnum styling works well on push bikes. Beefy perfection.
Nice to see there's no tank! Never got the idea about that, keep up the good work!
Different styles for different taste but yeah it's great to see something different :)
Looks great! Like in most electric bikes, I wish the battery wouldn't look like a brick. I wish success for this project!
It’s a tough challenge for sure. Hopefully they get smaller and better 👌
the panasonic 21700 cell batteries are great for power and light weight. I have a Hailong battery with the 21700 cell that is 48 volt 20ah 1600 watt weighs less than 10 lbs and drives my bike up to 40 mph and cruises at 30 not draw at all. love them.
@@electricmotorfeed
I wish bikes like this could be legally road registered here in Australia because if we could I would be on something like this all the time, would trade my car in!
what's the scoop in Oz with legality? I ride an ev moped TCMax and know sales there are decent. Would this bike be any different?
yeah same, it would replace at least 75% of my car journeys
the design is so lovely incredible if you do the yellow or orange or pink for girl, that is so good, congratulation, hope they come in Australia
We would love a pink version! 👌
The thing about having a tank- okay no tank, but a tank area that opened into a largish storage area would be really handy, and it can be made of lightweight plastic as it’s not holding petrol. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with a motorbike looking like a motorbike. They look great. So does this but that seat angle looks pretty severe. Nice bike.
best looking E-bike so far 👍
Dude, finally an awesome looking e-moto. I love it. I'd love one.❤
The sound of petrol engines is one of the things that draws me in. If you can't stand the sound of engines, move to the country. Plus pedestrians not being able to hear the bike coming has already introduced some issues in being aware of each other and not getting hit by a bike you can't hear coming.
Yep, more peds going to the morgue for sure as bikes become more electrified.
Or , as a cyclist that will never get used to being crept up on by tesla "kettles" 😊
Love the design
They did a great job on it 👌 and it’s not even finished!
Although mid drive geared motor setup appears to be very fancy, in terms of pickup and torque, a hub motor is much better, in terms of efficiency and space management and also riding range. You could even go for a dual hub motor setup, where you have one on the front wheel, which gets activated only when extra torque is required. The saved space can be used to house a bigger battery and put in more storage space. The hub motor should be of appropriate diameter, to match the wheel size, as best as possible. More poles would give even better performance. Just a suggestion of mine, after observing many ebikes.
beautiful, very good job
i did my full license about 12 years ago and just not got round to getting a bike (kids, house etc)...this would get me back in the game
Pretty impressive. I would like to see belt drive, more seat, lighter weight, center stand.
It’s got a good look for sure. Like I said, impressive.
Kudos
🇺🇸
That is the sexiest bike I've seen in a very long time. Maybe ever. It's so clean.
Looks nice! However probably something I would change, have the seat bolstered all the way to the tube or do some vents on the solid white sheet, looks bit weird now that everything else that's white is pretty much just the tube frame. Blinkers, well, add some detail to those and maybe hide their wires or use white cables. Maybe, just maybe I would kinda connect the tubes at the end to form an oval base for oval rear lights. These are all relatively easy mods to do, so I would definitely buy the big as is, if I needed one, and just mod it to my liking.
beautiful frame design.. ❤
oh man..... i want this..... 🙏, its so cool.....
I like how you tucked everything in the frame. Making it look robust with the fat pipe frame.
We can't wait to see the actual production model which will have more improvements :)
First video = subscribed.
Simple, no fuss, just telling a story as it is. Great stuff.
Good to hear Adam talk about “democratising”. This is one of the biggest reasons, for me, why we need the new technological/energy revolution.
If we move to a 100% renewable, clean technology, but it stays in the hands of the oligarchs and the corporations… then what’s really changed?
Glad you liked it, thanks for subscribing :) Yes, like anything it starts slow and then becomes better and the norm. Hopefully that will be the same for EVs
Lovely design, simple and robust, I would buy it! Any chance of getting a road test? Keep up the great works
Glad to hear you like it :) As it was a prototype, we couldn't take it for longer rides but we will early 2024 when it is ready for production so stay tuned!

Amazing design. Love the overall look
Looks like it'll be a great product. The younger guy looked like he needed the seat further back, the frame design would accommodate that quite easily from the shots on the video. Gimme Gimme!
It’s beautiful
This is creativity and consistency
Great work✌🏻✌🏻👍🏼
@deathtopetrol. you guys should sell just the frame. the frame is so unique, love the look
love it ! wanna have one bruv
This is so sick. Very mature cool design ❤❤
Adam will be glad to hear you like it!
looks awesome! Petrol head myself but if i owned one i think i would try to fit a beltdrive on for even smoother/less noisy experience. less maintenance too.
The less noise you make, the more creative you can be in traffic and get away with it. I have explored that phenomenon for decades, using things like maxi scooters and Gold Wings, but electric bikes beat them all. I just wish they could look more like yours ...
I will be looking forward to this one...
as a conventional motorcycle rider, I would say to remember that bikes are not only designed to contain an internal combustion engine, but also performance and handling through a hundred plus years of development. Don't abandon that. That being said, I would prefer rear brake at my right foot.
Very cool though, I want one.
what award did it win? i didnt see it in the video and the website makes no mention of it?
Could make 1 with tank and extra battery,side covers over the controller and battery pack.I’m sure there would be a market for those leaving the bike world.
We'll see what the final product will look like and what he will add :)
Great design.
Those brake levers are hench! Love it!
Looks great! Reminds me of the Husqvarna Vitpilen👍
❤"Fintastikko"🤙🍻❤️
Not me coming back to this video.
I really love the look of this bike. That seat still makes me wince…
Hopefully when Adam will design a belt-driven model.
I want one!
Very nice. Will you add fenders, and a sack rack option?
Good ideas, we’ll let Adam know 👌
I absolutely love the design !
Love the double headlights, the light I'm using on my Ebike is similar to this!
Cool design
Beautiful machine, I love the frame design.
at no point in these 9 minutes did i find a single thing Adam said that wasn't absolute FACT.
That's great, now when I'm at the top of the mountain topping off my petrol bike with the reserve tank I can bring with me, I'll take some pictures so you can see what it's like up there! Agreed you could possibly recharge that with solar, if the clouds don't prevent that, oh and bring enough food so you don't starve waiting to charge.
Looks great. Nice to see a London based company manufacturing things. My pet peeve with electric motorcycles and cars is how quiet they are. Dislike obnoxiously loud vehicles but its at times good to hear a vehicle coming for safety reasons. Great when they're all smart and can identify pedestrians and each other so collisions are a thing of the past but until then.
He has Practical and creative mind.
Id buy it. 👏👍
honestly you ae a great talent
BiG UP to London!! Great video !!!
Thank you!
brilliant! would be great to see a collaboration with Aptera to get the motor on the back wheel instead of a chain, belt or shaft!
Aesthetics,
Black out the rear shock and the Brake Levers.
Add a white front fender (Super moto style).
Change the headlight to white.
Add a bash plate.
@LondonEats Right up your alley
Will done! Make it affordable for the common people. I want two of them.
QSMOTOR Powered absolutely brilliant
I get the idea of setting the E bike apart from petrol bikes by not having a tank but I like a tank that can be used for small storage.
Looks good to me 👍
I would use a belt instead of a chain.
Makes less sound to and runs allot smoother.
Model name starting with DTP and then wattage.
Good luck!
Excellent job
I want one
Hugger and front fender is a must!
Looks really good. What's the range? Top speed? Torque? Is it ok to ride in the rain?
We will test ride the finished production model in 2024 and give you all the details. Like any bike, it will be ready for rain we're sure :)
I really congratulate you on a truly neat design.🤗
I've been a petrol head since before I got on the road in the late 70s, but I bought an artisan Evo3 a couple of years ago and loved it to bits. It was just so much fun in a small package, but stupidly expensive to insure.
Yeah, there are pros and cons with all of it for sure. Glad you enjoyed the bike!
everything is stupidly expensive to insure,especially when there is limited options companies(monopoly).
in america you can basically run anything electric on the streets. i have seen mono wheels, ebikes, eboards, go carts lol from 500w bikes to 40kw monsters. the police look the other way albeit there might be laws about max watts without getting it tagged, the police really are blind to it.
🤣🤣🤣
