Perhaps it is too early to say that electric motorcycles are the future of two wheels, but what is certain is that brands are multiplying to conquer the European market. The Canadian brand Damon is playing its cards with a record-breaking super sports car even if with zero emissions.

Damon Hypersport: a record-breaking super sports car with zero emissions

Hypersport is the name of the model with which Damon , a Canadian expert in the production of electric motorcycles, has decided to try to carve out an important place. Presented on the occasion of the past edition of the CES in Las Vegas , Damon Hypersport outraged everyone for the high-level technological package complete with a CoPilot system developed in collaboration with BlackBerry (with radar, cameras and sensors capable of monitoring the space around the vehicle ) and cloud data collection system through a 5G card.

This model, as its name indicates, was thought to have top notch performance. The engine is capable of delivering a maximum power of 200 HP and a maximum torque of 200 Nm; acceleration from 0 to 100 km / h takes place in about three seconds and the top speed reaches 320 km / h , as many as the km of autonomy guaranteed by the 20 kWh battery pack (with a recharging system that allows for 80 percent of the discharge in 45 minutes).

At the chassis level, the choice of adopting Ohlins suspensions and Brembo braking system must be emphasized . Jay Giraud , CEO of Damon, joined by colleagues at Businesswire, spoke about the project as follows:“For Damon, Europe is an extraordinary market opportunity: we aim to be at the forefront of electric mobility, technology and safety. With the European market rapidly shifting to electric vehicles we are confident that the continent will be a key outlet for Damon ”.
