[Moto] Emula, the electric motorcycle that can sound and vibrate like a 2T or 4T

[Dr.Drako]

 

Who said that all electric motorcycles were boring, soulless? At least not this Emula, the work of the Italian company 2electron, based near Naples.

The Emula is an electric sports car, capable of reaching 250 km / h, with chain transmission, gear change and anti-rebound clutch ... So far nothing especially new, but its name, Emula, already gives some clues.

The 2electron Emula is capable of sounding - and vibrating - like three different combustion-engine bikes: like a 1999 1999 twin-cylinder 600, a 2004 2004 twin-cylinder, and a 1989 2T single-cylinder.

Thanks to McFly software, six loudspeakers and small servo motors, it is able to faithfully reproduce the behavior of these three different engines, both with gas and with gear shifting, from idling to maximum speed.

 

Also shifting each mode works virtually, connected to the lever and clutch. Thus it is possible to coordinate the sound with each gear change.

It has several driving modes: Real Emulation, Arcade Emulation and Beginner Emulation. In addition, there is also an Emula-Boring (‘Bored’) mode that turns the Emule into a conventional electric motorcycle, without noise.

Everything is controlled from an 8 ”color TFT screen.
