Check out this cool bike from Holland: the Track T-800CDI. It’s not electric or a hybrid, but it’s still awesome. It’s a diesel bike that gets a whopping 100mpg and is made by EVA Products. It does 0-100kph (0-62mph) in 3.75 seconds, an auto transmission (6 gears, preprogrammed), and gets 100mpg when ridden at 56mph average speed.
The engine is an 800cc inline 3-cylinder diesel capable of using B10 or B15 biodiesel. The engine is a Euro4 class for emissions, which means it’s very efficient smog-wise compared to gasoline and smaller diesel counterparts. It basically has the same emissions footprint as the Smart ForTwo diesel sold in Europe.
It’s fairly expensive at 17,500 Euros, but it’s a light off-road and street bike with a lot of style and power for its size. Compare it to the KTM Adventure as an Enduro. It’s comparable to those in price tag.
Expect to see this one available world wide next year with a heavy focus on biodiesel marketing for it. It comes in both flat black and layered gray-black coloring.
