When we think of mini bikes Two-stroke engines come to mind, their unmistakable sound and the smell of gasoline. It is something that is necessarily linked to this type of vehicle.
However, at ArianeTech Engineering they set themselves the challenge of turning the tables and creating a model that would break the schemes and that was in line with the times. Said and done, they recently unveiled the K2Re, a electric racing mini bike that has little to envy for performance to those of gasoline.
Includes even GPS to keep track of times
The K2Re has an electric motor that delivers a maximum power 5 kW (6.8 hp). According to its creators, it resembles that of its gasoline competitors. Now, since it is electric, its torque has it from 0 rpm and is greater than those of internal combustion.
This electric mini sports car is capable of exceeding 70 km / h, a figure that is enough and more than enough for the riders for whom this motorcycle is intended, who must be in an age group between three and ten years old.
As if it were a miniature MotoGP, it includes a motor controller that allows you to configure the touch of the accelerator, the regeneration of the braking, the maximum speed and the power. The battery includes a state-of-the-art BMS management system and is also removable.
In the cycle part, this beast of the races in Lilliputian version has a steel multitubular frame. Its developers have studied its geometries to the millimeter so that there is a balance between precision, stability and agility whatever the track you face.
The aluminum It is present in both the swingarm and the front axle and to stop the little bullet it uses hydraulic brakes on both the front and rear axles.
The Ariane K2Re puts the scale in a few scarce 25 kg and allows to adapt to the heights of the pilots to be able to adjust in height the footrests as well as the levers that can also have different adjustments.
Even the very Ducati Superleggera V4 would be surprised with its speedometer that also includes a positioning system GPS that measures lap times and sends them directly to an application to control them from a phone.
Those who have developed this motorcycle believe that starting with an electric motorcycle to learn to ride is good because both the maintenance and the cost of the parts are lower. Now it remains to convince the younger riders (and their parents) to try this type of motorcycle. What is clear is that electric motorcycles have long established themselves in our lives.
