Impossible to believe? Believe it! This is the world’s first 2WD Diesel motorcycle and it is called EVA Track T-800CDI (shouldn’t they have called it EVE?) This adventure bike features an 800cc turbocharged Diesel engine that is capable of developing 45bhp and 74lb.ft of torque, CVT transmission and shaft drive. The best of it is that it delivers peak torque in between 1,800 – 4,500rpm and it is capable of doing that while running on plain old Diesel, bio-Diesel, plain plant oil or any of these combined. Keep it at an average speed of 55mph and it will go 112mpg, something that no other gasoline-fueled motorcycle is capable of (so I guess that the BMW R1200GS is out of the question?).
Overall, the bike weighs 199kg dry, it is claimed to be bulletproof so it is very likely to become the Jeep of motorcycles if adopted by militaries around the world. It has an ingenious hydraulic two-wheel drive system that implies a hydraulic pump being powered off the gearbox output shaft and which then runs an impeller in the front hub. The system is supposed to transfer as much as 15% of power to the front wheel, but the percentage can vary depending on the relative position of the throttle to the rear wheel speed.
Did I hear the word ‘speed’? Yes, this may be a Diesel-powered motorcycle, but has a top speed of 108 mph and that’s the part we like given the fact that this thing is more likely to travel off road which is where it will reach the impressive performance for an oil burner.
