STORM, designed by students of TU Eindhoven, is the world’s first electric touring motorcycle.

STORM Eindhoven, the electric motorcycle designed by students at Eindhoven University of Technology in the Netherlands, rides into the United States this week as part of the team’s 80-day world tour.

The innovative motorcycle started touring the United States in Washington state Oct. 3-5. The bike will travel down the West Coast and through the South and Midwest before reaching Washington, D.C. on Oct. 23 and finishing its tour of America in New York on Oct. 26.

STORM will make stops in Sacramento, San Francisco, Los Angeles, Phoenix, Dallas, Columbus, and Pittsburgh, among others.

During each stop, the STORM team will meet with universities and companies interested in smart urban planning and sustainability to demonstrate the potential of sustainable transportation and recharge the motorcycle.

The motorcycle runs on a battery pack designed by Eindhoven students. The pack consists of 24 cartridges that have 28.5 kWh of energy, which enables the motorcycle to travel 380 kilometers (236 miles) on a single charge. Furthermore, it is possible to adapt the whole pack to enable a lighter motorcycle for a more sporting driving style.

STORM Eindhoven left the Netherlands to tour the world on Aug. 14, and traveled through Europe, the Middle East, and China before coming to the US.
