Eco friendly cars

This one I like it very much. A magnetic hybrid motorbike was unveiled in Japan. This magnetic motorcycle can run 112 miles with one charge. The maximum spedd is 93 miles/h, which is very good. The battery can be charged at home, like you charge a cellular phone. And, the noise is extremely low.
The energy efficiency is very high thanks to the magnetic motor, a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet, and is a masterpiece. The motor, SUMO(from super moto), is built inside bike’s rear wheel, and the manufacturers said that is seven times more cost efficient than gas-powered scooters.
The company plans to start selling a mini-scooter version of the magnetic-powered bike in 2007.

Well, this is a very interesting project, I hope it will be a succes.
Here is the video with the magnetic hybrid motorbike, and with the scooter version:

This is an older post which got lost while we were moving the site to this new domain.

After the presentation of the magnetic hybrid motorbike, here comes GPR-S, the electric motorcycle.
The new gprs motocycle is amazing both by its look and perfomance. Despite its exclusive electric propulsion, GPRS can reach a speed of 60-70 mph (Gearing Adjustable) and has a 35 / 60 miles (Power / Economy) autonomy, much more than enough for a decent motocycle the 19 HP electric powerplant is fueled with a lithium-ion battery. Thus Some motorcycles owners that ussually live at the yard and less in block houses can afford now to connect their motorcraft to an electric powerplant during a 4 hours perid, as long as the recharge is completed.
In case that the storage battery has to be urgently recharged, the BMS module reduces the time of this operation for justan hour and a half the motorsport electric company . the manufacturer of this model, already received 25 firmly orders and waits that in the future the number.

ENV bike is the first hydrogen fuel cell motorcycle built. It was launched in 2005, and I was very curios what had happened with this. So, from curios to happy, findig out that this yerar, 2007, they have sigend with Suzuki and they are working together on the development of prototype hydrogen fuel cell motorcycles using Intelligent Energy’s advanced fuel cell power systems.
This not 100% ecological, but is a good improvement. The fuel cell is motre than twice as efficient as the internal combustion(55% to 25%). As they said on their site, http://www.envbike.com/ , on applications where the heat produces is used, the effciency can be up to 90%.
Price :between 6000$-8000$.
Now I know that is a little expensive and not quite practical, but it’s good to know that they are working on it.
