Jaguar’s venture capital arm, InMotion Ventures, is throwing its muscle, funds, and faith behind what they claim is the world’s first fully-electric motorcycle with Human Machine Interface (HMI), debuting at the Milan Motorcycle Show this week. Dubbed Vector, the electric cafe racer will be built by Arc — a team consisting of industry-leading professionals, coming together to develop and build an all-new experience on two wheels.
As Arc’s CEO puts it, “Our aim has always been to bring technology, performance and safety together to create an entirely new two-wheeled experience. Vector isn’t just a motorbike; it’s the world’s first fully-electric café racer.” Electric motorcycles, like the Harley-Davidson Project LiveWire we featured in 2014, are gaining ground. But the goal with Arc Vector is to produce the most efficient and safest motorcycle on the market; one that doesn’t take away from the fulfilling the motorcycle experience riders expect. This cafe racer will feature a heads-up display helmet and a sensory riding suit all working together.
