When does an electric motorcycle look like a gas-powered track rocket? When it’s built by Damon for the 2020 Consumer Electronics Show. The very yellow and very fast superbike uses none other than Blackberry’s QNX operating system to help the motorcycle utilize radar, cameras, and sensors to manage the road like no other bike before it. It tracks speed, direction, and surroundings and provides haptic feedback warning vibrations through the handlebars and visual LED cues in the windscreen, as well as via a rearview camera. Damon states the Hypersport is “the world’s smartest, safest, and most powerful electric motorcycle, ” a lofty and impressive claim, indeed. In terms of power, the Hypersport is seriously potent with 200 horsepower and a 0-60 time that’s supercar fast, sub-3 seconds. It also boasts 200 miles of all-electric range. What’s more, you can change the riding position from low slung to more upright depending on the situation, as well as alter to sport and commuter performance modes. Only 25 of them will be made at a price of $24,955.
