Electric touring motorcycle: Students at the TU Eindhoven are developing an electric motorcycle that features 28 removable battery modules.

At the Hanover Fair a first dummy of the Storm Eindhoven has been presented and the bike is to compete in an 80-day race around the world – if partners and sponsors can be found.
