Date Posted: 05:26:21 01/10/08 Thu Japanese vehicle manufacturer Axle Corporation has unveiled the prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a hybrid magnetic motor, which is a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet, that can run up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on a single charge, at a maximum speed of 150 kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour). The company says the bike enjoys high energy efficiency thanks to a state-of-the-art magnetic motor which is a hybrid between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet. Daisuke Ito, a professional racer who test rode the EV-X7 prototype, said it could potentially replace machines we now see in motor races. "I just feel that in the near future, we'll be seeing these kinds of electric motorbikes running all around town. And when that happens, conventional vehicles could disappear from motor racing, too, and well be competing only in electric vehicles."
