of accelerating electric motorcycle development and innovation , setting new standards for the sector overall , including final battery and range performance . The expertise and capabilities developed throughout the project now pave the way for the exciting electric future to come from Triumph Motorcycles .
Category-leading 161km / 100-mile range Exceeding the real-world range of the equivalent electric motorcycles available today , the Triumph TE-1 prototype has achieved all project targets with regards to the energy capacity of the Williams TE-1 project developed battery , with an incredible 161km / 100-mile range , based on official testing and projections .
Regenerative braking has been successfully implemented for TE-1 , with scope for further optimisation , as well as greater efficiencies in the motor generator unit and transmission , which could improve the range further for the future of Triumph electric motorcycles .
Performance that matches the Speed Triple 1200 , with an even faster 0-100mph
With a level of performance similar to the current Speed Triple 1200 , the TE-1 prototype delivers an impressive 130kW ( 177PS / 175bhp ) peak power , as well as peak torque of 109Nm ( 80lb-ft ), for instant responsiveness , smooth controlled power all the way up through the rev range , and a completely exhilarating ride .
The TE-1 has also achieved an incredible standing start acceleration official test result of 3.6 seconds 0-60mph and 6.2 seconds 0-100mph .
With further refinement of the electronics , including the traction control system and front wheel lift control , the team responsible for delivering the TE-1 project anticipate that performance could be enhanced further , harnessing the full torque potential to enable even quicker standing start acceleration .
Daytona 200 champion racer Brandon Paasch participated in the final testing phase , both in engine performance evaluation and also with the final set-up of the prototype through track testing .
“ The throttle response on the TE-1 is kind of incredible , it ’ s very torquey and when you first touch the throttle it ’ s instant power , which is obviously what I love as a motorcycle racer – I love when it ’ s supertorquey and picks up right away , so for me it was a really great experience ,” Brandon said . “ I got to peg this thing all the way from zero to 100 per cent throttle and it ’ s unbelievably quick . It pulls like crazy .”
Game-changing 20-minute charge time Advances in battery and charging technologies that have been developed as part of the Triumph TE-1 project , in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering ( WAE ), have resulted in a game-changing 20-minute charge time ( 0-80 %), successfully delivering against the ambitious targets laid out by Innovate UK , the government ’ s research and innovation agency that supports business led R & D funding and UK business growth .
