Austrian-designed, Chinese-made electric motorcycle brand Horwin arrives at this year's EICMA motorcycle show in Milan with a gadget-packed super scooter and a wild second concept that aims to shake up traditional chassis design.
The Senmenti offers frankly enormous performance figures for what is essentially a maxi-scooter. With around Nm of torque at the rear wheels, this unassuming-looking commuter is supposedly capable of accelerating from -km/h in seconds, keeping it head-to-head in practice. Suzuki's GSX-R superbike reaches highway speeds, at which point the Gixxer will have enough revs on the clock to wake up and start trying.
The Senmenti will continue to accelerate briskly up to a claimed top speed of km/h, giving it a legitimate place in the middle lanes of motorways, even if you need to check your mirrors very closely if you venture into the fast lane. This is a very high top speed for a scooter, and it is combined with a very tall kW battery pack capable of charging in minutes with a suitable supe Brazil Mobile Number List rcharger, and then offers an impressive range of km if you ride at a Decent speed of km/h.
If that seems like a lot for a scooter, buckle up, because Horwin has peppered this machine with more than cameras, sensors, and deep learning processors in an effort to establish itself as a technological powerhouse. We're talking real-time tire pressure monitoring, front and rear millimeter wave radars for blind spot and collision warnings, hill start assist, hill descent control, and auto hold.

Cameras and sensors around the scooter allow for a “sentinel mode” to keep it safe wherever you park it, or at least report the culprits if it is stolen or damaged. The cameras are also designed to observe road conditions and the rider, to adapt the scooter's power output to match your habits while learning how you cope with different conditions.
A sincere no thanks from me for that, unless you're able to discern from a steely stare and a string of obscenities when a motorist doesn't want help accelerating. The AI brain will also try to figure out what the interesting parts of your trip are, so it can automatically record videos and selfie clips from the other cameras.
Its keyless ignition system can be activated via a key fob, a Bluetooth connection, or a phone app. The seats and bars are heated, there's a reverse mode to get you out of tight spots, there's ABS, traction control, three-level adjustable air shocks, and a "fully automatic windshield," which in a perfect world for me is It would automatically detach from the scooter and place itself in the container. This being an imperfect world, I assume it goes up and down according to your speed, which sounds very annoying.
The Senmenti appears to work with conventional forks, so we have no idea what the strange contraption wrapping around the front axle could be. But the other concept that Horwin brings to EICMA goes a little further.
The Senmenti the battery, motor and controller as part of the structure.
It looks like the old Akira motorcycle shape again, reliably indicating that this thing is very unlikely to hit the road. If it does, it will do so with dual front and rear swingarms, fancy blue wheel covers, and some sort of center steering arrangement. But it won't, so we might as well enjoy it for what it is: a crazy sci-fi concept scooter. And it looks like a good one of those. It will be fun to see it in person.
