The military needs stealth modes of transportation, and electric motorcycles are just the thing to travel without noise or much of a heat signature.
Logos Technologies, a defense technology company based in Fairfax, Virginia, recently won its second award from Darpa (the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) to continue development of the SilentHawk, a military hybrid-electric motorcycle.
Logos Technologies is working with Alta Motors (formerly BRD Motorcycles) and using Alta’s RedShift MX as a basis for the bike. The RedShift is a pre-production electric motorcycle that weighs 251 pounds, produces 40 horsepower, and runs on a 5.2-kilowatt-hour battery.
