Battery Pack
At the heart of the Flux Primo is a 450V 7kWh battery pack that sets new standards in energy density and performance. To control the heat, each cell has a direct thermal connection to the case. All of the 432 cells are connected with an ultrasonically welded wire that acts as an individual fuse and are controlled by Flux’s own advanced battery management system. It’s possible to extract the battery from the right side of the bike and replace it with a fully charged one.
Motor
The water-cooled electric motor delivers instant torque and more power than gas bikes. But what sets the Primo apart is its digital control system. With personalized power and throttle response, this bike is easy to ride for experts and beginners alike.
Tech
The vehicle control unit takes in data from sensors like g-forces, lean angles, and wheel speeds to help develop algorithms that improve rider safety and performance. With a software-defined approach, it’s possible to control every aspect of the bike with code, opening up a new world of possibilities. Virtual clutch/regen brake: What makes the Primo extra special is its digital lever. Functioning as a virtual clutch, it mimics the function of a standard clutch to help you in those critical moments. It also doubles as an electronic regen brake that charges the battery without using brake pads. With digital control, riders can customize them to behave however they like. Marko Ukota, CEO: “We want a future where we ride more and enjoy true freedom, shaping it with the help of riders. We’re committed to having an honest transparent relationship and claims we can stand by. Because at the end of the day, we’re not just building a bike, we’re building a community of innovators who are changing the status quo. The Primo is our starting point, this is just the beginning” The Primo is FluxMoto’s development platform, used to test the drivetrain technology and gather ride data and user feedback.
Armed with these data points, they plan to unveil the final production motorcycle in Q4 of 2024 and start deliveries in Q4 of 2025. Three models will be available: -Motocross -Enduro (road legal) -Supermoto (road legal) You can place an early reservation on www.fluxmoto.co to get an early believer discounted price of 12.000€, as well as get the bike before your friends do (if they weren’t faster).
I believe the flood gates have opened now. With Hondas recent teaser and Tony Stark’s being delivered, now this, within 3-5 years there will be lots of good choices.
One question why did triumph build a ICE bike?
Because that’s what people buy.

pretty soon the rider will do nothing but hold on.

That reminds me of a conversation i had with my Daddy when I was 15, on my birthday. He gave me my first car, a 1965 Mustang GT, red, 289 K code. He told me that at this point, computers were controlling pretty much every aspect of what the car is up to, and this was an example of what the basics were all about. I learned a ton from it, and he..... But on that day, he told me the day was coming to where all we would essentially be doing was steering it. It would even brake for us should an emergency arise...... He was so spot on. Today, cars can drive themselves. BTW.... that chat with my Daddy was in 1988. Fuck I'm old........
Wonder how much this bike will weigh, probably around 300lbs. I still think any electric motos should be 20 minutes so you can keep the bikes closer to 250lbs. I think a digital clutch/regen braking lever on the left side will be the common going forward.
Yup. We’ve already taken enough skill out. Let’s not take more out please…
Flux, as in Flux capacitor??
Like that they added a clutch, even if virtual.
The production bikes aren't hitting the market until late 2025, so they still have time to drop some weight.
Back in May.
I have bigger fears in the world, but im scared for the oil filter, air filter, exhaust, piston, and general aftermarket companies over the next 20 years. What say y'all?
Same. Everyone has to eventually switch to wheels, plastic, chains or sprockets? Not going to be good….
They will adapt and make accessories for bikes that are being sold. Pro Circuit for example, whose main business is exhausts makes other products.
They'll have to adapt or perish. It would be naive of them if they aren't already considering the future of dirtbikes and what it means to their businesses.
Because they wanted to build a race bike not a toy.
Using Stark as an example, here’s a couple of parts that could be made:
- a different/slimmer phone holder that provides easier access to the handlebar mount
- a “dummy clutch” for people who ordered just the foot brake option and still want to have the feeling of using a clutch
- motor covers with vents to provide more cooling (could also potentially use the motor as real estate for graphics/sponsors)
This bike was announced at least 12 months ago.
Sure it's a legitimate worry but the point is they have some years ahead to plan for the future, it's not like if it's coming any suddenly.
Like automotive industry workers that are actually being retrained by thousands to work on batteries with the incoming ban for ICE passenger cars in Europe.
Pit Row
This bike looks interesting, Stark has a couple of years head start, it will be interesting to see what the competition looks like.
Swappable battery with such capacity is certainly something else.
Bingo.
Adapt or die.
Are you crying for all the horse carriage builders that went belly up when cars came along?

Was a rhetorical question……
This is why I restore Yamaha RD street bikes and ride them regularly. They require MY control and return to me the true joy of riding on 2 wheels. I don't want to ride a video game. I'm even considering going farther back than the 70s and picking up a 75-100 year old bike.
Exactly, these companies still have years to adapt to the evolving market.
Dellorto was founded in 1933, they became leaders in carburetors, then transitioned to fuel injection, throttle bodies, ECUs...
And now they're transitioning again, this time into electrics, building inverters, battery packs.
Like others have said , they will have to adapt. Most of the bigger ones that have been around for years are parts of bigger companies already. Arrowhead ,the company who bought WPS. Owns a few piston brands, Hotrods, bearing brands, and many of the brands that make filters are parts of companies that make many other things already. There are not really any small filter,or piston companies around. Most being owned or manufactured by monster companies that will evolve. Smaller companies like PC and FMF that are not owned by giants, already have more products being added each year that are NOT pipes. Like when a large amount of people started to ride 4 strokes, the brands will adapt , sell out or go under.
I am saying this as the owner of a small powersports brand. While I may not like every product that comes out, if I want to keep doing what I love , I have to watch for the trends and somewhat put aside my own likes. When I first started doing what I do for a living, I asked one of the owners of a shop that had closed what they would do differently. And they said sell what sells, and not get caught up with things they personally like. Some other things too, but that one stuck out.
Right now, there is more of an unknown of what new types of acc. may be needed for future electric bikes. But as more people are riding and owning them, it will become clearer.
Another dirt bike with black plastic and wheels lol
Welcome to capitalism 101. Should we explain supply and demand next?
bro, it's gray with black wheels
