Reinventing the axle
Japan’s motorcycle venture Axle unveils the prototype of its new electric-powered motorcycle, the “EV-X7,” at the annual Tokyo Motorcycle Show yesterday. The EV-X7 weighs 200kg and is equipped with a newly-developed high-efficiency motor driving the rear wheel.
The deal with the AKIRA cycle is that it’s designed with the motor in inside the rear wheel. Axle is planning to sell this electro-scooter with the new SUMO in-wheel “SUMO” motor this year.
