Date Posted: 02:09:35 04/17/14 Thu The US Military has approved funding for the development of a ‘stealth’ motorcycle that allows troops to ride for long periods over rough terrain without emitting engine noise. According to tech magazine ‘Gizmag’, a multifuel hybrid-electric power system that can be run in a near-silent electric mode developed by Logos Technologies will be put into an “offroad platform” made by project partner BRD. A statement issued by Logos said "This initiative will be the first time that a two-wheel-drive, multifuel hybrid capability has been integrated into a full-size off-road motorcycle. Quieted, all-wheel-drive capability at extended range in a lightweight, rugged, single-track vehicle could support the successful operations of US expeditionary and special forces in extreme terrain conditions and contested environments.” There is also the potential for the hybrid drive system to produce electricity for other devices whilst in the field.
