Can you imagine a bike that pulls from the front and pushes from the back...A French outfit called Furion is testing a wild Yamaha MT-07 prototype...They have slapped an electric motor on the front wheel to give it all-wheel drive...It pumps out a massive three hundred Newton metres of torque...That is serious grunt for a mid-sized bike...And everyone from RideApart to New Atlas, NDTV and even YouTube and Facebook are talking about it...The system adds about fifteen kilowatts of electric power to the front...Bringing the total hybrid output to roughly sixty nine kilowatts...It uses a smart controller called the Eversor to manage traction...And it grabs twenty seven percent of kinetic energy back when you hit the anchors...The battery is a clever little lithium-ion pack tucked in the rear...A world champ already gave it the thumbs up on the track...Furion reckons they will have a limited run F1 model out soon...And they want to license this tech to other brands by twenty twenty nine...It is a sweet way to get extra grip without the weight of a massive EV battery... ...
