Today, many companies are developing a special type of transport that is distinguished by its high speed in combination with environmental safety . Thanks to focused efforts, the fastest bike in the world was created. Many significant results have already been achieved in the development of this direction.
You won’t have to argue about which is the fastest bike in the world. At the moment, the fastest is the model developed in 2009 by the German company PJ Bikes in the city of Regensburg. She got the name Black Trail. Its inventor is Manuel Oster. The development of Black Trail took about 9 months. In addition, it took 3 million euros of investment.
Black Trail is truly the fastest bike in the world, which weighs only about 20 kg. This type of transport is capable of accelerating to an amazing speed of 100 km / h, and it develops such an incredible speed instantly. A similar result is achieved thanks to the built-in electric motor. You can switch the speed on the bike with the lever located on the handlebar, but you can also help with the pedals. It costs the fastest bike in the world, no less, but as much as 60 thousand euros.
According to the developer of this vehicle, only those who have the right to ride a motorcycle are allowed to ride the Black Trail at such a high speed. But soon models for ordinary bikers will also be released, which will accelerate to a safer speed of 45 km / h.
If we talk about the data of Black Trail, then, depending on the required amount of battery power, it will take from 30 minutes to 3 hours to recharge it. When fully charged, the fastest bike in the world can cover a distance of approximately 200 km. The bike battery is charged simply from a regular household outlet.
The main advantage of the Black Trail is its bicycle body made of ultra light carbon fiber. Designed by mechanics of Formula 1. According to Manuel Oster, carbon has a particular advantage, as it can take any form, while maintaining incredible strength. Also interesting is the fact that the wheel rim, which weighs only 750 grams, can withstand a load of 3 tons. In addition to carbon, light metals such as titanium and alloyed aluminum are also included.
Before starting to develop the fastest bike, it was decided that the new model should be very different from all the models ever created. This transport was supposed to be primarily safe and reliable.
At the moment, the owners of Black Trail are very few. For example, it was acquired by the famous Hollywood movie actor Orlando Bloom. The Black Trail limit is only 667 models. But in the near future a sufficient amount of a new mode of transport will be released.
Although not everyone can afford to buy such a bike yet, there is no doubt that the development of such a vehicle is an important step in combating the environmental situation that has developed today.
