Here at Damon, we\u2019re building the motorcycle of the future, today. This may seem like an audacious claim, but our electric motorcycle technology<\/a> backs up this mission statement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

That being said, with so much of our novel technology being rapidly introduced to the industry, it can be difficult to know your HyperDrive\u2122 from your haptic handlebars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s why we\u2019ve put together this handy Damon dictionary. It will break down all of the technology we\u2019ve incorporated into our HyperSport motorcycles<\/a>. Let\u2019s get into it!<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n

HyperDrive\u2122: The World\u2019s First All-Electric, Multi-Variant Powertrain Platform<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The newest technological advancement we\u2019ve announced at Damon is HyperDrive\u2122, the world\u2019s first all-electric, multi-variant powertrain platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the past, a new motorcycle likely equaled a new powertrain. Bike brands viewed this as the status quo and didn\u2019t consider an alternative. However, we didn\u2019t accept it. As a result, we\u2019ve made this monocoque-constructed powertrain platform the core of all our motorcycles. This means that whether you\u2019re riding an SE or a Premier – HyperDrive\u2122 will be the foundation of your two-wheeled wonder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Take a look at how the SE, Premier, and the other Damon HyperSport Versions compare below:<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

HyperDrive\u2122 also tackles a long-time stigma attached to electric motorcycles – their weight. It\u2019s true that the first electric motorcycles broke the mold. That being said, they also broke the scales. This made them difficult to handle and inaccessible to a lot of riders. Our powertrain platform uses the battery cells and battery as a structural element of the bike. In turn, our HyperSport motorcycles are kept lightweight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Finally, at 450 nominal volts, HyperDrive\u2122 is an all-electric powertrain platform. What\u2019s the benefit of this? Well, as anyone who has ever owned an ICE motorcycle will tell you, there\u2019s a lot of maintenance. Volatile carbon-rich fuel, tanks, fuel injections, valves, pistons, rings – there\u2019s always something that needs tweaking. Our electric motorcycle powertrain enables riders to take off their tool belts and put on their motorcycle gear. Less maintenance = more riding! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you can see, this ball of energy is going to send shockwaves throughout the electric motorcycle industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoPilot\u2122: 360\u00ba Advanced Warning System for Motorcycles<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Forward collision warning (FCW)<\/a> systems are becoming increasingly common for cars and drivers. However, an Advanced Warning System for Motorcycles (AWSM\u2122) equivalent has long been something riders could only dream of. Until now. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our award-winning 360\u00ba AWSM\u2122 gives riders unrivaled situational awareness. This has been long overdue. In the US, the number of cars on the road greatly eclipses the number of electric motorcycles. As a result, even if you adhere to safe motorcycling principles<\/a>, drivers will not be as aware of you as you\u2019d like. This results in motorcycle-related accidents or fatalities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CoPilot\u2122 offers you a full 360\u00ba picture of all the unseen dangers around you. Our onboard neural net scans your surroundings and alerts you to potential hazards in a few ways, including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
