A Bultaco electric motorcycle?
« on: May 09, 2014, 04:24:11 AM »

Mike Werner seems to think so.  Talk about a name out of the past.  They made great two-stroke motorcycles during the 1960's, but could they do the same with an electric motorcycle?  I have my doubts, but we will see:

Interesting.

Zero started in offroad bikes and has largely abandoned that market.

Unfortunate, as electrics seem to be increasingly competitive vs gas bikes in offroad.

Great electric bike and brand. According to the Características principales, iow specs, this will be a production with ABS! I hope it will be at an affordable price and not a 20K euro plus.
Front suspension looks good. It's a Hossack design I think.
