THE RAHT RACER
Technical Specifications
“If Tony Stark built bicycles…”
– eta.uk
An intelligent, pedal-electric transport, the Raht utilizes pedal effort and cadence typical of commute cycling to help reach and maintain speeds up to 95 miles per hour. Its rider is enclosed in a roll cage frame and Kevlar reinforced fiberglass & bio-composite body and further protected by standard automotive safety features, like seatbelts and anti-lock brakes.
The Raht’s operation also provides the health benefits of cycling thanks to its patented drivetrain. This unique design feature allows the rider to set their pedal resistance/feel to mimic actual terrain, or to follow programmable routes as cadence/torque are amplified to highway speeds.
Currently in its Alpha phase, the Raht runs at approximately 390 MPGe highway (188 city) with the help of its proprietary energy recapture system, possibly making it the most efficient sustainable transport ever made.

Very Efficient Vehicle Energy recapture technologies – high output, pedal generator and Turbinator™ air pressure system; plus smaller battery, lightweight design may make Raht Racer the most efficient car ever made.
Exercise Machine on Wheels Computer runs exercise programs while driving and displays driver performance data.
High Output Pedal Generator Pedals are connected to the generator, not the wheels, pedaling generates electricity that recharges the system.
Highway Speed Pedal Power System senses pedal cadence, torque and amplifies it to automobile speeds, giving rider sensation of super human strength like Ironman. When you pedal, you go as fast as a car.
Road-Safe Weather Proof and Storage Composite body, roll cage frame, seat belts, DOT automotive lights – safer than a motorcycle or bicycle on busy streets.
Terrain Sensing Mode The onboard system senses hills and adjusts resistance based on actual terrain.
Gearing System Adjusting Gearing is variable, allowing you to go at high speeds with minimum or maximum effort. It’s your choice.
Turbogen Neutral drag, pressurized air powers generator and “air envelope”, reducing drag
Roll Cage The Raht Racer includes a reinforced steel roll cage passenger compartment giving you an extra layer of safety
Headlights Automotive grade headlights for evening travel that comply with regulations
