Triumph has released some stunning pictures of its sleek TE-1 electric bike prototype which is expected to offer up to 180hp power. The Triumph TE-1 seems targeted at the top echelon of the two-wheeler market and could offer stiff competition to some of the established brands in the two-wheeler segment of the EV market.
The rapid global expansion of the electric two-wheeler market has meant that established traditional power brands like the iconic Harley-Davidsons are also branching into the production of electric versions of their power bikes. The Triumph TE-1 will be the UK-based company’s first foray into the electric motorcycle market and the company plans to make a rapturous entry with the TE-1. The motorbike came to our consciousness back in 2019 when the company officially announced the model and now, the model has completed its third project phase which means a working prototype is already available.
The prototype images of the TE-1 shared by Triumph show a very beautiful and seemingly capable electric motorcycle. The images were accompanied by a short YouTube teaser of the TE-1. The beautiful sporty design of the Triumph TE-1 should be matched with the performance although specific technical details are lacking at this time.
The e-bike is rumored to pack a 180hp powertrain and this could come pricey as well. The next level of the test includes road and track testing of the TE-1, after which the final setup and calibration of the e-bike will be completed. For now, Triumph has not provided a timeline for the evolution of the TE-1 to a full commercial product for the market.
