Triumph electric bikes

Just had an advert from the Triumph dealer. They are selling electric dirt bikes with the branding OSET which they say they have owned for a few years. Maybe soon we might see some with Triumph badges and on road bikes.
What i have seen with electric road bikes is the lack of range but maybe one day it will improve.
The hillclimbing mountain bikes now have some huge batteries. These are the bikes used for extreme downhill rides and the battery is the means of getting back to the top. Range can be 30 miles on one of the boys bikes. Triumph are not selling the mountain bikes though.
The dirt bikes are at Totaltriumph near Taunton

Triumph have certainly built a prototype electric motorbike. It was on display at the NMM open day last year and has been on display at the Troumph. experience display at their factory for the last year. I will go upstairs at the Experience tomorrow and see if it is still there on my visit to deliver some sprockets.

Other opinions may be available but this one is always correct.

Ugly? Yes in some peoples opinion it is more than ugly. However, as a styling exercise it follows current style trends while providing a trellis style frame to hold the electric gubbins and a wheel at each end. In that regard it is very unlikely that Triumph, or indeed any other manufacturer, see a load of old, balding and/or grey haired stuck in the past pensioners as their target customer base.

You gotta keep up with modern trends you know. LOL.

Unless it is one of those annoying old farts that has a need to think they are helping save the planet.

Who needs a signature anyway......
