2010 E1pc
2010 E1pc- the magic carpet
The 2010 was a game changer for MotoCzysz and helped us understand what the future could hold. The '10 was awesome to ride, fast, stable and more fun exiting a corner than any other bike I have ever ridden. Regardless of the corner your drive was always strong, always at or near peak torque. Want 50% more torque, open the throttle 50% more, want 1% more torque, open the throttle 1% more... every corner... every lap.
Worst moment
The start of the E-power race, Laguna Seca 2010. Before Laguna the '10 never had one issue, it to date the "perfect" motorcycle. In fact It deserves to go down in history as a true Champion, the winner of both an open road race and a closed circuit race, a diverse and telling accomplishment for a single electric motorcycle. Ultimately the fault was our doing, a parameter/firmware/software glitch, that caused the temporary set back.
Greatest moment
Watching Mark Miller ride and win the 2010 Isle of Man. Before that moment, few people had ever even seen an electric motorcycle achieve 120mph (I never had, ridden one but not seen one) and to see our E1 finish the extremely demanding 37.73mile mountain corse and still cross the finish line at over 120mph actually scarred me. I thought "why is he going so fast, what's happening" I feared there must have be a malfunction... a stuck throttle... something.
There was another greatest moment in 2010; having the honor to pilot my own bike to a FIM win and taste the same Champaign that Rossi, Spies and all my heroes drink regularly. I will forever be indebted to the 2010 "Ep1c".
