Amarok’s P1 electric motorocycle prototype is fast, light, and able to race

What’s fast, electric, and made in Canada? No, not the most recent Rush record, it’s the P1, a brand new electric motorcycle prototype from Quebec-based Amarok Consultants. The corporate — named after the Inuit word for wolf — unveiled the bike this week, announcing plans to go into it on this year’s TTXGP , a global racing series for electric vehicles. The 75 horsepower two-wheeler was designed with a laser-take care of lightweight construction, squeezing a 7.5-kilowatt-hour battery and two Agni 95 electric motors right into a bantam 325 pound body — making for among the many lightest electric racing motorcycles around. The corporate’s not stopping there, however, shooting for 275 pounds for the second one generation of the bike, putting it more on-par with gas-powered counterparts.
