Lito Sora – Bad Ass Electric Motorcycle

Lito Sora Retro Electric Motorcycle

Montreal based company, Lito, revealed their electric motorcycle and they are setting the standards high for the competition. The company is claiming their new motorcycle, Lito Sora, allows the bike to travel a range of 300km (185 miles) between charges thanks to its 12 kilowatt-hours’ worth of on board lithium polymer batteries.

The Lito Sora is also capable of reaching speeds of up to 200 km/h (125 mph) and is the first bike to feature an in-dash touch screen GPS system as well as allowing the rider to have control of the electronically adjustable ergonomics. The Sora also uses regenerative braking system and a CV transmission that allows the engine’s output to be efficient at a broader range of speed and allows the Sora to reach that top speed of 125 mph.

The Lito Sora’s battery takes a long eight hours to charge but does feature an alert system that will notify you via e-mail when the bike is fully charged.  One interesting feature about the GPS system is that it is integrated with the battery management system. What that means is that after typing in your destination, the Sora is able to calculate how much power is needed to get you to the destination – and the system will also adjust the available power during the trip to make sure you arrive and with charge to spare. This feature is just an added bonus to reduce anxiety for the rider as he or she no longer has to worry about the dwindling battery power.

The Sora rider also has the option of changing the position of the seat up and down by up to four inches to change the handling and feel of the motorcycle. For those of you familiar with motorcycles, you may also notice design inspirations on the Sora taken from Bobber and Café Racer/Street Fighter motorcycles. The Bobber influences can be found in the design of the rear fender which is fixed to the wheel. The Street Fighter inspiration can be found on the front of the motorcycle. These influences combined created a retro looking sports bike with modern, green technology.

The price tag of the Lito Sora is reported to be in the $44,000 range.
