T-Race Cross

MADE WITH PASSION

The “Tacita project” (from Tàcita, Latin name of the Roman goddess of silence) springs from the desire to develop a motorbike which respects the environment and the people around us, yet being a true machine for real off-roading.

After twenty years of passion for both recreational and competitive enduro, our goal was to build the perfect electric enduro bike, which would be able to compete with traditional motorbike combustion engines, giving the sensations of pure riding, yet being moved by a completely “zero-emission” electric engine.

Tacita was born in 2009, to produce a new enduro bike with electric propulsion performance, whilst being innovative and unique in its characteristics. Since then, our effort has focused on research, engineering and design, to create an Italian bike with temperament, unique in its kind.

The result is the new T-RACE product collection: passion, nature, strength, silence, respect, emotions.

DETAILS

• 100% green
• ergonomics of a grown-up motorbike
• high-tech design
• large autonomy
• great driveability

TECHNICAL DETAILS

• asynchronous electric motor three-phase induction
• 5 speed separate gearbox with hydraulic clutch
• liquid cooling for motor and controller
• crank case: machined from solid
• frame designed for the needs of the electric motor and the support of its components and built in chrome molybdenum
• aluminum rear monocoque
• dashboard: smartphone with messaging function to communicate directly with Tacita
• function “Reserve Power”, which is automatically activated when the remaining power is at 20%; reducing the power, it unequivocally indicates the need to recharge
• fiber-flax fairing
• two maps of motor brake
• two maps of motor power: eco and sport - for different driving needs

• GEARBOX

Why the speed gears? In order to have the best gear ratio for every situation, reducing the overheating of the engine and the consumption of electricity. In fact, the lower ratios allow the torque increase, so that the inrush currents decrease, while thanks to the longer gears you will be able to make the most of the engine maximum peak, removing every compromise and keeping the maximum effi ciency.

A main point is that the speed gear with an electric engine does not need to shift gear frequently, because when the proper speed for the road is engaged, you can maintain it.

Furthermore you are not forced to start with the fi rst gear engaged, as it can be useful for reducing uphill skidding, instead. Speed gears are useful downhill, because when you engage lower gears, the bike slows down and this allows lesser use of brakes, preventing overheating, enhancing full control of the bike.

• CLUTCH

You do not need to use the clutch at the start, because when the electrical system is on and the accelerator is released, the electric motor does not rotate (unlike the internal combustion engine) so the bike does not move, which is why it is not necessary to pull the clutch when you stop. The clutch is then used to reduce the torque, when necessary, and to change gear.

• SYSTEM VOLTAGE

According to the technical standard IEC 60479-1, the minimum voltage that is considered to be dangerous is 120 V; on the electric motorcycle batteries deliver current, which comes to the controller and is converted into alternating current.

In order to not exceed this safety limitation, not only we have chosen that the total voltage of our batteries is less than 120 V, but we also divided them into two completely autonomous parcels, each of them with a voltage lower than 60 V (Regulation ECE No.100).

The best way to get to know T-RACE is to drive the bikes in their ideal location. This is what we call the “T-Tour”.
Every weekend, from February to October (by arrangement at least 15 days in advance), two days riding on off-road tracks through places of outstanding beauty, to get to know these bikes and experience the pleasure they can give. Fun, relaxing, a great opportunity to enjoy good food and a pleasant experience for those along with you too.

Please fill the form below, we will get back to you to give all necessary details and booking of a T-Tour (2 days) or T-est Ride (one day) [contact-form-7 404 "Not Found"]
