NorthForge Dispatch
The current military conflicts with the massive use of UAVs force us to reconsider the current concept of warfare, including the organization of logistics logistics. The traditional means of transporting ammunition and other goods to the contact line — heavy trucks — turned out to be easy prey for attack drones. And then the engineers remembered about motorcycles.
For example, the Canadian manufacturer NorthForge introduced the Dispatch light tactical electric motorcycle for extreme war conditions. According to the director and founder of the company, Trevor Hayter, the car had to be developed literally from scratch for three years. Currently, Dispatch is being prepared for testing and there is still very little information about it.

It is known that the motorcycle is equipped with three battery packs from SysNergie. The weight of the complete set is 140 kg. The blocks provide a range of 200 km. According to the developers, even the failure of two units will not be an obstacle to further movement. It will take less than a minute to replace faulty power supplies. The maximum speed of Dispatch is 110 km/h, with a load capacity of up to 200 kg. The payload is attached to five attachment points on the chassis and two luggage racks on the fork. The seat height is 780 mm, comfortable for most riders. More than 80% of motorcycle parts are manufactured in Canada, the remaining 20% in NATO countries. The Dispatch is stored in a 152 x 91 x 60 cm box and has an all-metal construction, which simplifies assembly and repair. Apparently, it can be assembled with a single tool in a few minutes.
