Emula, the electric motorcycle that mimics the sounds and performance of internal combustion engines

A big ‘problem’ that still prevents the spread of electric motorcycles today is the lack of sensation that a motorcyclist experiences aboard his two-wheeled heat engine, the thrills and thrills that are felt thanks to the unique sound.

Even the ‘mechanical’ sensations are completely different, in fact you don’t feel the emotions that the gearbox and clutch offer, you don’t hear the typical noises of each component. This is why the 2electron, startup italiana, he is working on the realization of a very important project, his name is McFly and it is a technology that integrates software and hardware to be able to emulate the driving experience that you feel on a traditional motorcycle, aboard an electric two-wheeler, with zero emissions.

In fact, according to 2electron (as for most of the riders in the world) something is missing on electric motorcycles. We don’t feel the vibrations of the engine, the rear “kicks as soon as the next gear is engaged”, we don’t even try the thrill of sound, the roar that comes out of the drain and that echoes within us. Elements that make the driving experience unique, but that we cannot try on board an electric motorcycle.

Yet now it is possible, thanks to McFly technology and the concept Emula, able to revolutionize the world of engines, bringing the driving experience on an electric vehicle to a level that we have never seen until now and therefore managing to make the pilots feel the same sensations (or almost) that you feel when driving a two-wheeler equipped with a thermal engine.

The McFly system, together with the electric motor, is able to emulate (hence the name) the number of gears, ratios, performance, vibrations, delivery and sounds of classic engines. The Emula electric motorcycle allows you to use gearbox, clutch and accelerator as on a petrol engine. The two-wheeler also has a very simple and intuitive display, through which you can choose different types of internal combustion engines to ‘imitate’, thus pretending to be driving the motorcycle of your dreams, the vehicle we so desire, but that we cannot have.

The sound we hear is then sent, thanks to the McFly system, to the intercom of the helmet. This technology allows you to hear noise, but to actually drive without any sound emissions, as well as polluting. Electric motorcycles are increasingly present in the price lists of the various brands, even old iconic models become carbon neutral. In any case, the system can be deactivated, the Emula motorcycle can also be driven as a simple electric vehicle.
