Beijing’s Da Vinci Dynamics has launched its DC100, a high-performance electric streetbike with an impressive 250-mile (400 km) NEDC range, and some wacky “robotic” tricks, including the alleged ability to self-balance and follow you around.

The Davinci DC100 is a futuristic café racer with a simple motorcycle design, delivering outstanding performance and effortless handling. According to the manufacturer, as an electric motorcycle, the DC100 has powerful performance that can rival the liter bike (1000cc class). Also, it is a two-wheeled, dynamic robot offering an optimized, smart, and passionate riding experience.

It has many advanced sensors and electronic systems aimed at making the motorcycle as safe and efficient as possible. The DC100’s advanced sensors allow it to track information, including ambient temperature, lean angle, speed and acceleration, load, type of terrain, and any difference between wheel speeds. The electric motorcycle makes use of gyroscopic sensors to determine factors such as pitch, lean angle, and even yaw. This data is used to precisely moderate how its power is delivered to ensure optimum performance in all conditions.
All these features, as well as the bike’s batteries and powertrain, are housed beneath the bulky bodywork, which gives the DC100 its futuristic aesthetic. In terms of performance, DC100 has a peak power of 100.75 kW (137 hp) and a peak torque of 850 Nm. The c...
