Montreal based company, Lito, revealed their electric motorcycle and they are setting the standards high for the competition.

BMW HP4 racing on the track

2013 BMW HP4 – Super Light, Super Cool

BMW has unveiled their latest creation, the 2013 HP4. Unlike previous HP motorcycles from BMW which used the boxer engine layout, the 2013 HP4 uses an inline-four engine from the S 1000 RR. The 2013 BMW HP4 is also equipped with other goodies that can’t be found on any other production sports bikes. An example of such is the DDC (Dynamic Damping Control), the world’s first ever dynamic suspension system. This DDC setup allows the motorcycle to adjust the suspension damping as the road/track conditions change. The bike has four riding modes including Sport and Rain for street riding while Race and Slick for the race track.

Another very handy feature on the BMW HP4 is the torque-adjust Launch Control system. BMW also claims that the 2014 HP4 is the lightest four-cylinder super sports bike in its class with a dry weight of 169kg (372.5 lbs).  With 90% fuel in its tank, the motorcycle weighs in at 199kg (439.7 lbs).
