The Arc Vector pushes the boundaries of motorbikes as we know them.

A new generation of motorcycles has arrived with the release of the Arc Vector. This electric motorcycle is not only stylish and powerful but it's also packed with the latest technology. From an integrated helmet with a heads-up display to a haptic feedback jacket that provides real-time feedback on the surrounding vehicles, the Arc Vector is truly in a class of its own.

If you're looking for the most technologically advanced motorcycle, the Arc Vector is the bike for you.

It's no secret that electric vehicle sales are soaring, and electric motorcycle sales are also gaining traction. As a clutchless single-gear motorcycle, the Arc Vector has an impressive design and performance.

It's a motorcycle that truly stands out from the crowd. Because of its carbon fiber construction, it's easier for Arc to maximize space and makes it lighter than its competitors at only 220kg (485 lbs).

It also provides greater efficiency and range than other competing models. Its battery is built within a carbon fiber monocoque and put through a module R100 test, the most stringent battery test for safety and performance.

To connect to the internet of things around it, the motorcycle creates its own Wi-Fi network. This motorcycle offers excellent features, but it also comes with a cutting-edge design that combines the motorcyclist and machine seamlessly by doing away with the dashboard.

For a more immersive riding experience, Arc opted for technology never before seen on a motorbike.

A first-of-its-kind human-machine interface (HMI) was developed for Arc's Vector motorcycle. The first of the trio is the Arc Zenith helmet modeled after fighter pilot photo projection-based technology. Through the helmet's HUD, you can view the integrated rear camera that activates when something is in the rider's blind spot. There is an on-bike controller for selecting the models—or they can be triggered by the rider's voice and controlled wirelessly via a Wi-Fi headset.

While riding, the rider has a five-mile view of the environment. Besides providing speed information, the Heads-Up Display also provides cornering, acceleration, and braking information based on the G-forces applied to the rider.

The second element is the Arc Origin haptic jacket, which provides instant feedback via taps and vibrations, alerting the rider to their surroundings. It's an innovative advancement in smart tech, as well as an immersive motorcycling experience that goes hand in hand with the Zenith helmet.

There are three riding modes available:

The Arc Vector doesn't just revolutionize electric motorcycles; it moves the entire motorcycle industry forward.

According to Arc's website, fast charging is available through a CCS DC Charger. The Vector battery is one of the most efficient batteries on the market. It has a very high energy density and can be discharged at a high rate, making it ideal for use in high-performance applications.

The 399V battery also has a very long life, which makes it perfect for uses that require a high level of reliability, but it also means observing tips to take care of your EV's battery is important. In addition, the Arc Vector's 95kW (127hp) electric motor can accelerate from 0-60 in just 2.9 seconds with a top speed of more than 120mph, making it one of the fastest motorcycles in its class.

With a single charge of 40 minutes, Arc claims it can travel up to 436km.

The Arc Vector is unique in several ways. It's the first production motorcycle to feature an exoskeleton, which improves rider safety by absorbing and distributing impact forces over a larger area than a conventional motorcycle frame. It also features an integrated heads-up display, which projects vital information such as speed, range, and navigation onto the eyepiece of the rider's helmet.

Another unique feature is the Arc Vector's haptic jacket. Through the use of sensors, the motorcycle's lean angle, blind spots, and braking force are detected, and vibrations are generated to provide feedback to the rider. This data enables the rider to adjust the motorcycle's power delivery and braking accordingly.

This allows the motorcycle to be ridden with the same feedback as a traditional motorcycle, which makes it easier to ride smoothly and safely.

Other standard features include traction control and adaptive regeneration.

The motorcycle is equipped with several safety features to protect the rider. The main feature goes back to the HMI system. When riding an electric motorcycle, it's hard to get crucial information to effectively and safely ride it.

Having only one gear, as well as making little noise and feeling no vibration, it may be difficult to estimate braking and cornering cues as with gasoline engine motorcycles.

The HMI system provides these details, so these queues are returned to the rider for a better and safer riding experience.

The haptic jacket has a built-in back protector equipped with round feedback components called Arc Exciters. As a car appears in a rider's blind spot, the components vibrate, giving the rider feedback that travels up the back at an increased speed the closer and faster the vehicle is approaching from behind.

This amazing feature gives an extra layer of safety to the rider at the most vulnerable spots on the road. In addition, each Vector is handcrafted for the rider that orders one. This enables things like the foot pegs, yokes, and seat to be perfectly in sync with its rider for added rideability and safety. Arc claims the Vector is the safest motorcycle on the market and is willing to put its money where its mouth is.

Arc has designed the Vector with the future in mind. It wanted to build a motorcycle that could withstand any potential regulatory changes in the future.

After a few snags with funding, ARC Vector Electric Motorcycles Are Now Available for order. It's currently priced at £90,000 (US$104,305).

Combined with the HUD motorcycle helmet and haptic feedback jacket, the complete Arc Vector system makes it the most advanced motorcycle available. The Arc Vector is perfect for anyone who wants the best possible ride experience.
