The Triumph TE-1 marks a bold step into the world of electric motorcycles, blending cutting-edge technology with Triumph’s signature performance DNA. Developed in collaboration with Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain, and the University of Warwick, this prototype is designed to push boundaries and set new standards for the future of electric riding.
At its core, the TE-1 is powered by a compact yet powerful electric motor that delivers around 177 hp (130 kW). This incredible output allows the machine to accelerate from 0–100 km/h in just 3.6 seconds, rivaling top-tier superbikes. Despite its electric nature, the TE-1 has been engineered to retain the agility and rider-focused character Triumph motorcycles are known for.
Battery technology plays a vital role in the TE-1’s performance. Thanks to Williams Advanced Engineering, the bike offers a real-world range of around 160 km (100 miles) while supporting fast charging from 0–80% in just 20 minutes. This makes it a practical and thrilling option for both city commutes and spirited weekend rides.
Weighing approximately 220 kg, the TE-1 is lighter than many of its competitors, ensuring a balance of speed, control, and confidence on the road. Advanced rider aids, regenerative braking, and modern connectivity features enhance the overall experience, showing that Triumph has carefully crafted this machine with the future in mind.
Although the Triumph TE-1 is not intended for direct production, it stands as a technology demonstrator. It paves the way for upcoming Triumph electric motorcycles, setting benchmarks in power delivery, efficiency, and design.
The TE-1 represents not just an electric bike, but a vision of how Triumph plans to redefine the riding experience for the next generation.
