DESIGN

UNDERPINNED BY THE “FORM FOLLOWS FUNCTION” PHILOSOPHY.

ALL ASPECTS OF THE MOTORCYCLE HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED TO PRODUCE THE ULTIMATE RAPID CHARGE AERO-ELECTRIC FLEET AND FIRST RESPONDER MOTORCYCLE.

It’s our desire to see the duct become a part of all future motorcycle design and the WMC300E+ represents a further demonstration of the benefits of incorporating the technology.

Motorcycle’s have incredibly high packaging density, but for us to the transition to electric powertrains presents an opportunity to package a motorcycle differently, aggregating all of the voids to allow the air to flow through a motorcycle. The WMC300E+ is the first motorcycle where the battery shape has been designed around aerodynamic form.

AERODYNAMICS FIRST

WMC have always known that the transition to electric presents the opportunity to package a motorcycle differently but acknowledges that this requires input from the beginning of the design process. The WMC300E+ is the world’s first motorcycle that has been designed along the “Aerodynamics First” principle with the powertrain being shaped to enhance aerodynamic efficiency.

UNDER SEAT STORAGE

Incorporating WMC’s patented V-Duct and a battery to provide the performance required is a challenging packaging exercise. However, the WMC300E+ specification is customer driven and so we pushed our engineers to also incorporate under seat storage for 1 helmet.

SUSTAINABILITY

The WMC300E+ presents a practical electric alternative to fossil fuelled motorcycles, providing fleets and first responders with a zero tail pipe emission vehicle to perform their operations. Maintaining sustainability throughout, the duct and other aerodynamic features are constructed from recycled carbon fibre.

COMPLEMENTARY TECHNOLOGY BLEND

A performance “gap” still remains between electric and petrol motorcycles. Whilst the trajectory of battery technology developments is steep they are still not close to fully closing the “gap”. We see a complimentary technology approach as the answer in the short term, combining efficiency benefits to achieve greater parity now, but also greater performance in the future.
