INVENT
Building upon all the learnings from our previous projects the WMC300E+ is targeted at fleet operators who are looking to transition to Net Zero, but where availability is critical to their operation, especially in the emergency services where their workload is typically unplanned.
Working in collaboration with global powertrain experts MAHLE Powertrains, White Motorcycle Concepts (WMC) concluded a feasibility study in April 2023 that showed that it was possible to create a motorcycle, incorporating our patented aerodynamic duct and MAHLE Powertrain’s patented cell cooling technology that produced the following specification:
100mph top speed
100 miles range (against an aggressive police drive cycle)
Fully charge in under 15 minutes
Have under seat storage for 1 helmet
INNOVATE
Working with the same world leading organisations that supported WMC on all of our previous projects the WMC300E+ delivery has been elevated through the collaboration with MAHLE Powertrains to create a truly market disrupting motorcycle. This is the world’s first rapid charge electric motorcycle where the battery design is shaped by aerodynamics.
CREATE
For any complimentary technologies to be integrated for optimum performance requires very close collaboration. Weekly formal meetings of the WMC & MAHLE Powertrains teams ensured that this advanced route to market demonstrator (ARMD) has been created efficiently. Developing an electric motorcycle requires a significant consideration of factors of safety and these have been followed to meet not just today’s regulations but also those that are forthcoming.
All of the work completed through the ARMD has been aligned to the ultimate goal of this motorcycle becoming widely available. It is these foundations that are not always found in prototype work that will ensure that the route productionisation is much more efficient.
