Polaris displayed the Sur-Ron High Performance Electric Bike, mounted to a DAGOR vehicle.
The E-Bike weighs 7 kg and offers 8.5N.m torque for a top speed of 73 km/h with a battery life of 2.5-3.5 hours.
The Polaris DAGOR is one of the vehicles competing for the US Army’s Infantry Squad Vehicle Program.
7kg, so ~15 pounds?
That’s 2kg lighter than my single speed bike, are you sure that there isn’t a 0 missing?
That’s what they are claiming.
Their website says 50kg, so 110lbs
I’m on a plane. I’ll review the literature they gave out when I retrieve my luggage tonight.
J.V. putting in the real time and effort
Yeah, that threw me too. Looks like the MOTOR weighs 7.3kg for the air cooled model or 8 kg for the water cooled model while the whole vehicle is probably 50kg. I say probably because it is listed as
VEHICLE QUALITY: 50kg
FRONT AXLE MASS DISTRIBUTION: 24kg
REAR AXLE MASS DISTRIBUTION: 26kg
No indication if that is for the air cooled or liquid cooled though. I’m guessing the liquid cooled weighs a bit more.
The specs for the motor itself list the weight as 7.3KG, probably just put in the wrong line.
Any info on price or availability for individual buyers?
Still, 7 kg for a silent electric dirtbike capable of 73 km/h for 2.5-3.5 hrs is some star wars s**t. 50 Kg is impressive enough as it is.
Web site states a maximum load of 100kg. Dang, I just barely make that in street clothes. No way most military types would make that weight with safety and field gear.
Good point, that’s not going to work very well. Most of us are a solid 95-120kg in kit with no weapon and no pack. I wonder what the specs are on this thing when carrying 120kg or 150 kg?
Here is the spec sheet
