Featuring the world\u2019s first V8 battery architecture, an ultra-powerful, yet refined, E-Twin motor, and a 66-inch<br \/>\nwheelbase, Hera will occupy a class all her own.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to Curtiss Design Director Jordan Cornille, Hera is inspired by Glenn Curtiss\u2019 land speed record-setting 1907 V8 motorcycle, the iconic machine which earned Glenn Curtiss the title \u201cFastest Man on Earth\u201d when on January 23, 1907, he reached 136.3mph on Ormond Beach in Florida.<\/p>\n<p>Utilizing a proprietary battery and electronics architecture, Hera pays homage to the iconic 1907 Curtiss V8 by reimagining the machine it in an all-electric form, complete with eight \u201ccylinders\u201d of high-density lithium-ion batteries. Hera promises to deliver even greater speed than its record-setting predecessor, but in a far more luxurious package.<\/p>\n<p>Hera\u2019s long wheelbase and low stance give her a classic and sensual proportion, a deliberate nod to the proportion of the original golden age of American motorcycling.<\/p>\n<p>With the announcement of Hera, Curtiss continues to ratchet up the heat in the growing electric motorcycle space. The news comes on the heels of Harley-Davidson\u2019s recent signaling of their own upcoming electric model.<\/p>\n<p>With both brands set to release bikes over the next 18-24 months, the stage is set for an all-electric all-American motorcycle showdown between two brands with deep roots in American motorcycle history.<\/p>\n<p>Detailed specifications and pricing for the Curtiss Zeus have not yet been released. Based in Birmingham, Alabama, Curtiss Motorcycle Company (OTC: CMOT) is on a mission to lead an all-new golden age of sustainable motorcycles by designing and crafting the world\u2019s best and finest electric motorcycles.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/scontent.fnag1-2.fna.fbcdn.net\/v\/t1.0-9\/46803655_2227212073979745_2606775330236530688_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&amp;_nc_ht=scontent.fnag1-2.fna&amp;oh=32535d9e6cf4e2e5c96c9b9b73d0f2ea&amp;oe=5C763D65\" alt=\"No automatic alt text available.\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>Source : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.curtissmotorcycles.com\/\">Curtiss Motorcycles<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amid the glitz and glamour of Monterey\u2019s annual Car Week,Curtiss Motorcycles (OTC: CMOT) announced its upcoming all-electric flagshipmodel named Hera.
