NEW YORK, Sept. 21, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- This unique new report analyses three closely related new electric vehicle markets due for takeoff in 2015. They are electric motorcycles, e-maxi scooters and electric three wheelers from e-rickshaws to disruptive new forms of car and car-like vehicle. This creation of major new EV markets is occurring partly because big brands Yamaha and BMW are entering the field, Yamaha with on and off road e-motorcycles and BMW with an e- maxi scooter initially all in 2015. Harley Davidson is getting user response to a first test design of e-motorcycle in 2014. In 2014, Toyota has garnered huge interest with an enclosed three wheel, tilting electric motorcycle, the iRoad. In addition, Chinese companies are newly offering impressive e maxi scooters and three wheel cars and car-like vehicles and at one third of the price. Leaders in sales such as Zero Motorcycles and Brammo are achieving increased sales and going global and there is now a steady stream of new companies offering all these vehicles and most of them have production coming on-stream in 2015-16.
Eva Håkansson is the world’s fastest female motorcycle rider, but the 34-year-old Swede isn’t resting on her laurels. “My goal is always to be faster,” she tells The Independent. “I’m on the quest for 300mph, but many things can go wrong.”
Håkansson earned her current title on Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats in September last year, when KillaJoule – an electric cycle she designed and built herself – reached 241.9mph in the official race on the densely packed salt pan.
California-based Zero Motorcycles, the world's leading manufacturer of electric motorcycles, returns for the fifth straight year as the official ring sponsor for the 2015 Yamaha AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony, presented by Harley-Davidson, on Saturday, Oct. 17, during the American International Motorcycle Expo at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, Fla.
"The official Hall of Fame ring is the physical representation of not only an inductee's place in the AMA Motorcycle Hall of Fame but also their place in the history of motorcycling," said AMA Chief Operations Officer Jeff Massey. "Once again, we're pleased that Zero Motorcycles has stepped up to provide the financial backing to make these important artifacts a reality for our motorcycling heroes."
From Autoevolution: Mark Seeger, CEO of San Francisco-based Mission Motorcycles, Inc. intends to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, as the company has no more money and can't continue operations. According to newspapers, Seeger has even sent a letter to the court explaining that the company has so little money that they can't even afford hiring an attorney.
Even though the demise of Mission Motorcycles might not come as a shock for the ones who have been rather skeptical about the future of the company and its projects, those who made a deposit for one of the two bikes that were supposed to be built will not be too happy.
In case the bankruptcy claim is admitted by the court, it means that the would-be customers will simply lose their deposit. All the assets of Mission Motorcycles would then be liquidated to repay creditors, and it's hard to believe that the money will be enough.
