TTX02 Electric Superbike Launched in the UK

The founder of the TTXGP, Azhar Hussain, introduced a production super sports electric bike in the UK last week, dubbed TTX02. The bike has been nicknamed ‘laptop on wheels’ and it’s the first factory production vehicle to be delivered with a dedicated IP access and connectivity to the network. Each bike can be connected from any browser through an on board web server and WiFi.

“We are living in a click culture and connectivity is the key, across the board. Our approach was to find how we could make a laptop go racing,"
Hussain said, "We think electric vehicles have more in common with consumer electronics than traditional automotive.”

The Mavizen TTX02 uses the rolling chassis of an FIM homologated and road legal bike. The bike is inspired from the Agni X01 electric motorcycle, the world’s first zero carbon, zero emission motorcycle race and the winner of TTXGP,  which took place at the Isle of Man TT in June this year.

“By building on the open standards of the internet and the PC, we unlock the creativity and lower the costs of innovation for teams, enthusiasts and riders. TTX02 is a development platform that invites the potential for success previously seen in electronic hardware and software, into the automotive industry. We need to pick up the pace of innovation and make it real fast; TTX02 is a key marker in that journey,” Hussain continued.

“The limited production bike, the Mavizen TTX02, gives potential participants a chance to acquire a bike that they can develop themselves to make it competitive and unique to them. Racing is brutal but at least with the Mavizen TTX02, the racers can start with a proven platform. Mavizen is about growing the grid by being an enabler to those who want to take part,” concluded Hussain.
