Meet The Motorcycle That Runs Only On Electricity

motoczysz

Hey thrill seekers, adventurers and adrenaline junkies, you like vehicles that go fast, right? Of course, I’m talking about things like sports cars, fighter planes, water jet skis and motorcycles. You know what I mean, dudes! These vehicles represent speed, tricky maneuvers, intensity, fearlessness and that certain element of danger. You already know this firsthand if you’ve ever been out riding in one of them. So, how would you feel about riding a motorcycle that runs only on electricity? It actually does exist.

This electric, motorized “chopper” is called the MotoCzysz E1pc. The bike is capable of speeds up to one hundred and forty miles per hour. Furthermore, its motor can generate about five hundred volts of electrical power. The motorcycle is a fully-functional, electrical marvel that moves just like a regular, gas-powered one.

This week, the MotoCzysz E1pc is scheduled for an extensive test run of twists and turns on a 37.7 mile trip. The setting for this test run will be the Isle of Man, located in the Irish Sea between Great Britain and Ireland. If this electric “chopper” becomes a successful product and hits the mainstream market, you could possibly find yourself on an electric-powered Harley in the near future.

Sony Launches The A290 And A390

Recently, Sony unveiled two new digital single-lens reflexive cameras called the A390 and A290. Both cameras are equipped with 14.2 MP sensors and they’re intended for the use of first-time photographers. Furthermore, these DSLRs also have a unique feature called the Quick AF Live View.

This feature is coupled with a 2.7-inch tilt LCD screen, which allows users to see their desired target from any angle before taking a photo. Such a camera option is meant to be useful for instances like dealing with heights, crouching on the ground and raising the camera over your head. Then the LCD enables you to clearly see your object or scene of interest as you’re taking pictures.

Other features of the new cameras include a mini-HDMI output, new grip design and button layout, which provide easier use for beginners. The A390 is slightly lighter with a weight 508 grams while the A290 is 549 grams (including the battery in both cameras). According to CNET.com, the A290 with an 18-55mm lens is priced at $500 while the A390 can be purchased for $600. However, consumers can find them on sale in July. Interestingly enough, the A290 has a bigger viewfinder, though. It has 0.83x magnification while only 0.74x is possible with the A390.
