In 2022, Triumph announced the official completion of their TE-1 electric development project with the release of the final prototype test results, paving the way for Triumph’s electric future.
The extensive live testing programme, which involved numerous assessments of the bike’s performance on the rolling road, as well as on track, provided direction into the final set-up and calibration of the TE-1 prototype demonstrator. Triumph said it delivered, and exceeded, their project targets.
The TE-1 prototype achieved 0-60mph in 3.6 seconds, has a 100-mile range, and a 20-minute charge time (to 80%). Range and ‘refuelling’ time isn’t comparable with fossil fuelled bikes, of course, but then the internal combustion engine does have over 100 years of development behind it. Let’s see where electric bikes are in 2122.
