WTF of the Day / Quantum Leap
Built by Eddie Meeks of EAM Studios, Greensboro, NC, the Quantum Leap is less a motorcycle than a proclamation from its creator. The 13″-wide fixed front wheel gets engine power, while the thinner rear wheel handles the steering. Because the front wheel does not turn, Eddie was able to extend the sexy bodywork, which rides atop the tubular frame housing a Patrick Racing V-Twin and shiny handmade components, including a kickstand sculpted from copper-plated steel.

KTM shows off the “E-SPEED” concept
KTM has taken the wraps off the E-SPEED, a new electric scooter concept, that sees the Austrian company preparing to move into a completely new market segment. The E-SPEED is powered by a liquid-cooled, permanent-magnet synchronous motor with 36Nm of maximum torque and a permanent power of 11kW to drive the rear wheel via a belt drive.
Electricity is stored in a package of cutting-edge lithium-ion batteries with a capacity of 4.36kWh that is fully charged within two hours on a regular 220V socket. With the powerful acceleration typical of electric motors, and with its low weight of only 140kg, KTM claims the E-SPEED can be flicked through urban traffic with great agility, besides running nearly silently and completely free of emissions.
