Distinctive and thrilling soundtrack , building to the most spine-tingling crescendo – the Triumph TE-1 prototype ’ s pure , characterful sound is considered to be more appealing and exciting than any of the equivalent electric motorcycles currently available , thanks to its unique helical gear pair primary transmission .
With noise levels tested at Mira ’ s external noise measurement facility , the TE-1 successfully achieved all noise standards set by the R41 homologation tests for wide open throttle , cruising and urban .
The achievements in the live testing phase , exceeding current benchmarks and targets , provide a platform with great potential for future development in electric motorcycle performance .
