Triumph Te-1
The Triumph Te-1 has a top speed of ~160 km/h (NOTE: Triumph reported 0-100 km/h in ~3.6 seconds but did not officially publish a confirmed top speed figure), produces ~130 hp (NOTE: Triumph quoted approximately 97 kW peak power output; exact rpm not applicable for electric motor) and weighs ~220 kg.
La Triumph TE-1 (Triple Electric One) est un prototype de moto électrique développé par Triumph Motorcycles en collaboration avec Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain Ltd et l'université de Warwick, avec le financement d'Innovate UK. Dévoilé par étapes entre 2019 et 2022, il s'agissait d'un projet de recherche et développement plutôt que d'un modèle de production, visant à prouver que les motos électriques pouvaient offrir des performances comparables à celles des motos de sport à combustion interne. Le projet a conclu sa phase finale en 2022 avec des résultats de référence impressionnants, et bien qu'aucune version de production n'ait été officiellement confirmée, il a jeté des bases importantes pour la future gamme électrique de Triumph.

Ce que les acheteurs doivent savoir
Cutting-Edge Electric Prototype
The Triumph TE-1 is a research prototype developed in partnership with Williams Advanced Engineering, not a production model available for purchase. Buyers should be aware there is currently no consumer version on sale.
Impressive Range & Power
The TE-1 prototype demonstrated around 100 miles of real-world range and 177 horsepower, setting a benchmark for what Triumph's future electric production bikes may deliver.
No Resale Market Yet
Since the TE-1 never entered mass production, there is no established resale market or reliability data from long-term owners — watch for any future production announcement before planning a purchase.
Évaluation d'un acheteur d'occasion
"A landmark prototype you simply cannot buy used."
N/A usedHere's the thing about the TE-1 — it was never actually a production motorcycle. It was a collaborative research prototype between Triumph, Williams Advanced Engineering, Integral Powertrain, and WMG. Exactly zero of these rolled onto dealer floors, which means there are no used examples to buy, full stop. If someone's trying to sell you one, walk away immediately because something seriously dodgy is happening. The project wrapped up around 2022-2023 and produced genuinely impressive results — 130bhp, sub-6-second 0-60, and a proper 100-mile real-world range — but all of that lived inside a handful of test mules that will never see private ownership. Triumph has been tight-lipped about a production electric following the TE-1's findings, though the data clearly influenced their thinking. If electric Triumph is what you're genuinely after, keep your eyes peeled for whatever they announce next. Don't let anyone convince you a TE-1 is sitting in a barn somewhere waiting to be discovered.
