Honda Develops Battery-Powered Motorcycle That Will Participate in Motocross Tournament. Honda’s Electric Motorcycle is a Prototype That Was Presented to the Public in 2019.

Honda unveiled to the public in 2019 the prototype of its electric motorcycle CR at the Tokyo Motorcycle Show. At the time, the Japanese project was a mystery, with few details released. What was visible included features such as the Showa front fork, Nissin brakes, and Dunlop tires. However, details about the Honda electric motorcycle’s powertrain remained unknown. Now, in 2023, the manufacturer is ready to put the Honda CR Electric prototype to the test.

Honda Electric Motorcycle Will Participate in Motocross Tournament

The Honda Racing Corporation will bring the prototype to the eighth round of the D.I.D. Japanese Motocross Championship. The eighth round, officially called the Saitama Toyopet Cup, will take place on October 28 and 29, 2023, at the Offroad Village Saitama.

The event not only marks the debut of Honda’s electric motorcycle, CR Electric, in competitions, but also represents Honda’s first venture into internally developed electric motorcycles in formal races. This is of great importance, especially as Honda and other manufacturers seek to reduce their carbon footprint in their current and future product lines.

Honda Has Not Released Data on Its Electric Motorcycle

As in 2019, the Japanese manufacturer has still not released a detailed technical specification of its electric motorcycle that will participate in the Motocross tournament. Even though four years have passed since then, and undoubtedly some things have changed, Honda’s electric motorcycle is still considered a prototype.

When Honda develops the CR Electric into a production version that riders can test and purchase, it is more likely that the public will see an official technical specification detailing the powertrain and what to expect.

For now, the public will have to settle with the idea that Honda’s electric Motocross program is still very much alive and in the testing phase, and that this prototype is part of its data-gathering efforts.

Honda Develops Unusual Electric Motorcycle

In addition to the new electric motorcycle for MX, Honda recently revealed a compact motorcycle, an unusual solution for mobility. The vehicle is an intelligent suitcase that transforms into a mini electric motorcycle.

According to the brand, the bet is an economical short-distance solution. The manufacturer claims that the idea behind the MotoCompact is to enable users to transport this suitcase in their cars to locations in the city where parking is more accessible and economical.

Upon reaching that point, it’s simply a matter of transforming the suitcase into an electric motorcycle to cover the remaining distance to the final destination.

Once the rider arrives at their destination, Honda’s electric motorcycle can easily be transformed back into a suitcase, allowing for easy transport to the office, school, among other places.

The electric motor and battery of the vehicle pose no risk of dirtying the interior of the vehicle. This small suitcase, seemingly conventional, reveals a motor in the front wheel with 490 watts of power, which is more than sufficient to reach a top speed of 25 km/h.

A giant half-ton ring fell in Kenya from space, and more than a year later, scientists still do not know where it came from.

Seen from space, an image taken by an astronaut shows an unlikely oasis in the Saudi Arabian desert, protected by a terrain that slows the advance of sand, surrounded by green circles, remnants of an extinct lake and nearly 10,000 years of preserved history.

In Botswana, a salt flat of up to 16,000 km² that was once an African megalake spends months as an absolute white desert, but during the rainy season it transforms into a shallow sea that reappears from nowhere and can be seen from space in the middle of southern Africa.

Bavarian archaeologists unearthed a medieval skeleton that had an articulated iron hand in place of its left arm, and the discovery reveals that doctors were already creating sophisticated prosthetics over 500 years ago.

Cell phones in schools: learn how a year after the ban, students and teachers are already noticing positive effects and recording improvements in academic performance with increased attention and active participation.

With 1,000 buses sent abroad, the Brazilian manufacturer consolidates the strength of national technology and takes on a leading role in public transportation across all of Latin America.

More than 1,500 Chinese workers transformed an entire railway station in just one night and reduced a 7-hour journey to 90 minutes with a high-speed line of 200 km/h.

Brazilian city becomes a global destination after attracting tourists who travel up to 10,000 km to visit a sanctuary with 11 giant saints up to 10 meters tall, open 24 hours and located along a highway in SP.

JBL Flip Essential 3 SE is launched with 30W of power (20W + 10W), Bluetooth 5.4, Auracast for multiple connections, IP67 water and dust resistance, up to 12 hours of battery life, and a price of approximately R$ 660 in China.

After ten days orbiting the Moon, science confirms that the astronauts of the Artemis II mission return with altered bodies.

Pernambuco paradise with 59% of preserved area advances with R$ 2 billion in e-methanol, aims for 900 tons/day, grows 38.6% and builds electrified terminal of 400 thousand TEUs.

Brazil may have railways back on the map, but it will need the government: a study reveals 7,412 km ready for reactivation, a cost of R$ 75 billion, 61 sections analyzed, and none viable without public funding.
