Meet Ethec Electric Motorcycle: Designed & Built by Swiss University Students

Swiss University students have invented something so unique that motorcycle fans around the world cannot keep their eyes away from these set of official images. Ethec, as they call their electric motorcycle, is a unique combination of future-proof technology and mile munching two-wheeler.

This statement is backed by its powerful two wheel drive-train and almost 400 kilometers of riding range. They have mixed a variety of ideas into this single product and that makes Ethec one great option for visual fulfillment of an enthusiast. The massive battery box visible on the motorcycle has 15 kWh capacity for nonstop highway cruising.

Technologically rich and advanced, Ethec comes with regenerative braking, uniquely designed battery cooling fins, fast charging, oil cooling and much more. They promise constant riding range throughout the battery life. In terms of power, the motorcycle comes with a moderate 30 HP output that can be boosted to 67 HP under normal conditions.

The only confusion that still prevails is that no clarity was given on the power value being transferred to a single wheel or doubling the output by considering both wheels of Ethec. Two-wheel drive is an interesting technology but practically, it has no upside point on city streets.

Ethec has an unconventional overall design with girder front forks, no rear fender and cafe racer inspired single-seat layout with impressive fin design under the seat. Front tyre is packed with impressive braking power through dual disc brakes while headlight in use is round and powered by LED technology.

The unique feel of Ethec is further raised by its impressively carved instrument console holder. This 7-inch unit is similar to a regular tablet and helps all system show their strength to the rider with utmost clarity. Finding a bike similar to Ethec is almost impossible in the present day automotive world.
