He just won’t stay down... Eric B is back

[bad Chad]

The guy sure can take a punch o four!  Eric Buell is back this time with an electric bike.  More news to come at 11.

The motorcycle is called the Fuell Flow-1, and it comes in two power variants: 11 kWh, which is about equivalent to a 125cc bike, and 35 kWh. A motor is integrated into the rear wheel, opening up the space for 13 gallons of internal storage within the body. Fuell did not mention range statistics for the Flow, but estimates it to have a starting price of $10,995. The motorcycle seen in the photos is the higher-performance model called the Flow-1S.

Eric Buell...

Buell?  I thought you were going to give us news of Eric Bostrom's return to his roots of flat track racing.  I guess not.

(I'm pretty sure that Mr. Buell will fail at this current renewal, but also that he will then return again.  And, again.)

No perimeter brake rotor?  I always liked those on his bikes. I wish him success, the more competition in the electric bike  segment, the better for all interested in one.

 Good to hear Eric Buell is back. He pushes design, which is a good thing. Though I'm not sure of that rear hub drive, lots of unsprung weight there. Works well on bicycles though.

Looks like a pregnant guppy, but more power to 'im!  I agree that competition drives innovation.

ooks like an XB9 with a full fairing.

I thought of Bostrom too.   

Is he going to race again?

No; but, as the turnout for the twins is so low and as the new track will reward experience he'd be a cinch to make the main.  He's younger than Pegram.  Trouble is, his license has expired (I'd assume)...

$11000 and performance of a 125cc, good luck.  I see fail.

Good for Eric Buell and team and I wish them all the best for continued success!!!     

First the HD "Live Wire"...then the ZERO...now this! 

Make no mistake, electric motorcycles are coming in our lifetime, but again, I personally, am not quite ready for the transition...
