Previously we introduced the "Hypersport Pro Electric Superbike" electric replica developed by BlackBerry and Canada's Damon Motorcycles. This bike has a cruising range of 320 kilometers, a top speed of 320 kilometers, and The CoPilot rider assistance system received a lot of attention at the 2020 CES show in Las Vegas, USA.
Interestingly, it has recently been reported that the four major Japanese car manufacturers Honda, Yamaha, Kawasaki and Suzuki have shown high interest in Damon Hypersport at the CES show, especially for Damon’s “CoPilot Rider Assist System” ” and “Shift? Variable Riding Position System” are two advanced technological features.
The "CoPilot? Rider Assistance System" is composed of radar, photography lenses, non-visual sensors, and 360-degree cameras surrounding the vehicle body. If these sensors detect danger, they will vibrate through the grips. or instrument warning flash to notify the rider; and the "Shift?

At present, these technologies have not yet appeared on the sales models of Japanese car manufacturers. Therefore, when seeing the actual Damon Hypersport car equipped with these two systems at the CES show, Japanese car manufacturers will show a high degree of interest, which is not surprising at all. Unexpected; in fact, Damon Motorcycles has been immersed in research and development in this field for many years. Damon CEO Jay Giraud also said that in the past, they preferred to complete it in the form of kits, but later they realized that instead of making their own products To adapt to different car models, it would be faster and simpler to build a car from scratch to demonstrate this system.
Although Damon Motorcycles has launched its own electric vehicle products, CEO Jay Giraud also specifically stated in an interview that he has the same attitude towards the four major Japanese manufacturers or other mainstream car manufacturers. "Open attitude", maybe in the near future, we can see Damon's "CoPilot? Rider Assistance System" and "Shift? Variable Riding Position System" appearing in models such as Honda Gold Wing or Yamaha? NIKEN superior.
