Hyosung At The 2010 Cycle World International Motorcycle Show
Despite a poor economy and the absence of many big motorcycle brands Hyosung Motors America had strong presents at the 2010 Cycle World International Motorcycle show in Chicago. I chatted with Hyosung Motors America President Tony Kim and Regional Sales Manager Hyon Ko about the 2010 models and bikes in the works. Tony Kim confirmed that later this year or early next year we will see an all electric scooter from Hyosung available here in the states. The Gem 4.0 and 2.0 were first unveiled at EICMA late last year.
Hyosung unveiled the ST7 cruiser earlier this year at EICMA but the 700cc liquid cooled twin made it’s first US appearance at the Chicago show. The South Korea based company also displayed the newly redesigned GT250 and GT250R with redesigned tail section, black triple tree and fuel injection.
I captured some poor quality video on my iphone of the ST7 and Hyosung GT250R. Have a look and be sure to check the bikes out this weekend if your at the Chicago IMS show.

Quantya Strada Electric Enduro Motorcycle
Swiss Electric motorcycle manufacturer Quantya introduced a fully electric enduro version of the FMX called the Strada. This bike uses an LiPO battery and has a maximum speed of about 43 miles per hour. Power has been described as on par with a 250cc dirtbike. I think a street legal enduro is a great segment for electrics. You can use it for running errands around town and ride the local trails in stealth. Can’t wait to test ride one of these great looking electric motorcycles.
