After several seasons competing in the World SuperBike paddock to achieving race wins and lap records in the British SuperBike Championship Meteor Power embarked on the design of a high\u00a0performance\u00a0engine upgrade package for\u00a0use in MotoGP. The company is now developing their own electric motorcycle, compact hybrid powertrain and fast charging system.<\/p>\n<p>With a goal of becoming the McLaren of the two wheel world whilst also\u00a0selling and licensing power train and other engine technology to\u00a0Tier 1 and OEM customers.<\/p>\n<p>A selection of recent\u00a0and current projects\u00a0include:<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A highly modified Aprilia based engine intended for use in the non-MSMA, formerly known as CRT class at MotoGP. The engine features a different bore and stroke with new pistons, rods and crank, a completely new cylinder head to our own design featuring pneumatic valves and a revised gearbox.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A new electric motorcycle chassis and power train to maximise the performance and handling opportunities where the design is not constrained by having to work around a heavy petrol engine, or a single large box of batteries for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A compact petrol hybrid engine for motorcycles and lightweight sports cars. Half the size and half the weight of a typical engine with double the power density. Intended to significantly reduce emissions without sacrificing power.<\/p>\n<p>&#8211; A new electric motor and controller with integrated 100 kW rapid charging system. Class leading power density, with compact packaging and capable of charging our electric motorcycle in around four minutes.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Meteor Power brings a fresh approach to electric and hybrid vehicle innovation with a range of powertrain projects brought together with a new\u00a0electric motorcycle destined to change how people view high performance motorcycles.
