Add newly-born American motorcycle manufacturer Roehr to that growing list as the company has just announced its intentions to offer both racing and street versions of the eRoehr electric motorcycle.<\/p>\n<p>Roehr&#8217;s first motorcycle, the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2007\/12\/13\/roehr-revises-its-bike-180-hp-supercharged-harley-revolution-st\/\">1250sc<\/a>, offers up 180 horsepower via a modified and supercharged <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/tag\/harley-davidson\">Harley-Davidson<\/a> Revolution engine. That&#8217;s plenty of power, but electric motors have a reputation for being major torque-monsters, and the AC induction unit specified for the Roehr eSuperbike is no exception. How does 96 hp and 210 pound-feet of torque sound?<\/p>\n<p>A 10 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery pack will provide the power for that machine, which Roehr plans to enter in the U.S. <a href=\"http:\/\/green.autoblog.com\/tag\/ttxgp\">TTXGP<\/a> Series later this year. A second version with a similar motor offering 48 hp and 105 lb-ft paired with a 6kWh battery will reportedly have enough juice to hit 100 miles per hour.<\/p>\n<p>What we don&#8217;t yet know are expected base prices, the performance expectations of the higher-spec eSuperbike or the range of either machine. In other words, stay tuned, and feel free to read the press release pasted after the break.<\/p>\n<p>[Source: Roehr]<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/roehr-announces-electric-superbike-plans-to-contest-us-ttxgp\/\" rel=\"bookmark\">Continue reading <em>Roehr announces electric superbike, plans to contest US TTXGP<\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\/2010\/01\/05\/roehr-announces-electric-superbike-plans-to-contest-us-ttxgp\/\">Roehr announces electric superbike, plans to contest US TTXGP<\/a> originally appeared on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.autoblog.com\">Autoblog<\/a> on Tue, 05 Jan 2010 08:00:00 EST.
