Tinbot unveil new TB-RS1 naked electric motorcycle
Another new bike has been revealed at Intermot, with Tinbot taking the covers off their TB-RS1 naked electric motorcycle in Cologne.
There have been plenty of reveals made at the Intermot show in Cologne this week, and the latest is from Tinbot.
Fortunately, their motorcycle, the TB-RS1, seems more inspiring than the brand name, which is a victim of linguistic differences when it comes to an English-speaking audience.
The TB-RS1 is electric, and features a type-2 charger which can charge the battery in 5.5-6 hours, 8.64kWh lithium-ion battery and a range of 100km on the motorway. In a city, that range doubles to 200km.
In terms of performance, the top speed is rated at 120kph, or 74.5mph, thanks to a maximum power output of 35kW (46.9 horsepower) and a weight of 183kg which is supported by inverted forks at the front and a single rear shock at the back.
That is of course quite a significant output, as it is the highest power output available to riders with an A2 licence.
Getting it all stopped relies on dual front discs and a single rear disc which are also electronically assisted via ABS.
The wheels are 17 inches at both ends, with a 120/70 tyre at the front and a 150/60 at the rear.
When it comes to colours, there are four options: red, grey, blue, and red; and the TB-RS1 will cost €10,990.
That translates to around £9,660 at the time of writing, but British readers won’t have to worry about that just yet, because Tinbot do not yet have a UK distribution network. They are currently established in European countries, with their main presence in Germany, Austria, and Italy.
But, maybe in the future the TB-RS1 will cross the Channel.
