| South African designer Pierre Terblanche says the Hypertek electric bike is his best work yet. |
•“This is the best work I have ever done,” and
• “Burnouts and wheelies standard features with Wheelie & Traction Control’
Like BMW chief designer Chris Bangle, Terblance has has as many fans as haters, thanks to the
angles he introduced to Ducati’s designs before modernising the venerable Royal Enfield look.
The all electric Hypertek he designed for BST aims to be “a truly iconic electric motorcycle with excellent performance and beautiful styling”.

| A belt drives the Hypertek while a clutch allows revving. |
To stop, the Hypertek uses 330mm aluminium ceramic-infused ventilated disc brake in front and a similar, smaller disk brake at the rear.
 |
| Two fans force air over the batteries and up front, with hot air blown over the rear tyre. |
Liquid cooling is implemented visually, with a fan up front forcing air into a brass-colored radiator. A second, ducted fan at the back of the battery pack blows the hot air from the batteries and motor cooling systems onto the rear 17-inch, Supercorsa SP tire, helping to bring heat up the rubber for better grip.
BST is look for “HyperTEK custodians” — what other bike companies call an “owner”.
“BST’s promise to you is to deliver in limited numbers, a completely hand built HyperTEK using the best materials and technology coupled with the passion of the human touch. We invite you to take this journey with us and share in the pride of being the custodian of a HyperTEK.
