The DC100 is set to make its U.S. debut at the CES conference and is being marketed as a rival to traditional 1,000cc motorcycles in terms of performance. It boasts a 17.7 kWh battery pack and an electric motor that generates 134 hp (100 kW / 136 PS) and a impressive 627 lb-ft (850 Nm) of torque.
With its impressive powertrain, the DC100 is able to accelerate from 0-62 mph (0-100 km/h) in just three seconds and reach a top speed of 124 mph (200 km/h). Davinci Motor claims that the bike has a NEDC range of 249 miles (400 km) and can be fully charged with a DC fast charger in 30 minutes.
In addition to its impressive performance, the DC100 also boasts a sleek design. It has a one-piece aluminum alloy frame that is covered in edgy composite bodywork and 17-inch wheels wrapped in Pirelli Diablo Rosso III tires. The motorcycle weighs in at 562 pounds (255 kg) and is equipped with a Brembo braking system for added safety.
The DC100 has a unique feature that allows owners to use their smartphone as a digital instrument cluster by downloading the Davinci app. This motorcycle, which the company refers to as a "two-wheeled robot," is equipped with over 1,000 chips and more than 200 advanced sensors that track various pieces of information, including road conditions, battery and motor temperature, and lean angle. This data is used to "precisely control its power system" and ensure optimal performance under all conditions. In addition, the DC100 has digital key technology for added convenience.
The DC100 is packed with high-tech features, including a kinetic energy recovery system and over-the-air updates. It also has a number of safety features, such as a traction control system. Davinci Motor has also promised to add even more advanced features in the future, including a self-balancing function and the ability to park and call the bike remotely. The company is also promising a "self-riding and target recognition" feature that will allow the motorcycle to automatically follow a target selected by the rider.
According to Davinci Motor, the DC100 is estimated to cost $27,500. The company sees the CES conference as the perfect opportunity for potential buyers to get a feel for the product for the first time, as well as for potential U.S. dealers and distributors to get a first look. It will be interesting to see how the market responds to this high-priced, high-tech electric motorcycle.
