This NXT Rage It makes me think that we are experiencing a strange time. We know we are at the beginning of something, We perceive that there are dramatic changes in place, a revolution, but not in his hands all the elements to understand, to analyze, be aware of what will happen to us. Certo, it would take a crystal ball. But why do this premise? Because almost every day I see on the web or simple prototypes of electric motorcycle concept, some interesting and some not, but in reality all worthy of attention at least until we have a clear idea of this nascent market.
There is liveliness in the electric motorcycle ring. This is also demonstrated this concept signed NXT Motors. I tried to understand more, but the site of this Dutch company is limited to giving more information scent. The communication focuses heavily on the concepts that are the basis of this project, what engineering is called “Fried air”, but the technical aspects… nisba.
The thing a bit’ I urta, lo ammetto, but I still decided to investigate because the few available images, the bike has potential: the carbon fiber shell.
Not so much for the expensive material, but because it offers an interesting formal and functional solution. It combines the useful with the beautiful in conclusion, making the structural element also characterizing aesthetic element.
Certo, then we have to gloss over a three-spoke wheels of the early nineties probably taken from an old Monster '95. But he has his own style. So eye is a little’ lunga, with a wheelbase that portends a lot of stability and, as a result, little agility. Let inverted fork and Ohlins monoshock, disc brakes with grippers traditional cables and a little’ too exposed. Interesting optical assemblies LED with a touch of tradition given by the choice of the round headlight and the two-seater seat that still leaves the rear wheel so cantilevered.
Rumors reported by Electrek and EVNerds show a price of 24.490 NXT Rage euro for this and it is already possible to reserve your own with a down payment of 950 Euro.
This puts this NXT Rage in direct competition with companies that for years you are building a certain position of authority in the electric motorcycle segment, or Zero Motorcycles – with which the comparison is inevitable for anyone today is going in and make an electric bike – and also Lightning that, in addition to the known super, in recent days he has released first rumors on Strike, a much more affordable motorcycle.
Not least, comparison with Harley-Davidson LiveWire.
Who will decide to reserve their NXT Rage, But I will trust because for the technical data should wait for the next months. Certainly the abundant space created for batteries gives hope for a bell'autonomia to run far and wide feeling, as they say in NXT Motors, bad without sin.
