| Magnetic hybrid motorbike unveiled in Japan |
 |
A Japanese vehicle manufacturer unveiled the
prototype of a new electric motorbike carrying a
hybrid magnetic motor, which can run almost
noiselessly up to 180 kilometres (112 miles) on
one charge. Tokyo-based Axle Corporation says that
the battery of the next-generation electric
vehicle motorbike can be charged at home, in the
same way as a cellular phone. It takes a little
over 6 hours to fully charge the battery, and the
vehicle's maximum speed is capable of reaching 150
kilometres per hour (93 miles per hour).
The company says the futuristic motorbike enjoys
high energy efficiency thanks to a
state-of-the-art magnetic motor which is a hybrid
between a electromagnet and a permanent magnet.
The new motor, called SUMO, short for "super
motor," is housed inside the bike's rear wheel.
The manufacture says the new motor is seven-times
more cost efficient than gas-powered scooters.
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."

A series of Fanta commercials from Japan. Now
with English "fansub" subtitles!
By the way, "dorobo neko", which I translated
literally as "thieving cat", is a slang term that
refers to a woman who chases after a man married
to someone else.
