Tacita Introduces T-Race Diabolika
Kit Palmer | September 30, 2014
The Italian company Tacita introduced its new electric T-Race Diabolika at Intermot.
At the Intermot Motorcycle Show in Cologne, the Italian company Tacita launched its zero emission street bike – the T-Race Diabolika, that features an electric motor and carbon-kevlar bodywork.
It’s an aggressive two-seat street bike with 19-inch wheels, and the engine is an evolution of the Cross, Enduro and Rally versions presented last year at the Eicma show in Milan. It’s an electric asynchronous three-phase induction engine, powered by LI-PO Lythium polymer batteries, equipped with a five-speed gearbox, already tested in race conditions during the Merzouga Rally.
T-Race Diabolika has been developed, the company says, to meet the requests of many bikers that, during the Tacita test rides, showed desire for a “flat” bike. The Italian company, founded by Pierpaolo Rigo, has thus designed a two-seat street bike that has a lower seat compared to the other off-road models, and a modern style with carbon-kevlar bodywork.
The result is what the company says is a street bike that is original and aggressive, but at the same time silent and eco-friendly thanks to its electric engine. The new geometries, studied for the 19-inch wheels, make T-Race Diabolika very stable both entering and through the corner.
