Volta BCN electric motorcycle announced, set to go on sale in Q2 2012
Volta Motorbikes officially announced its new Volta BCN motorcycle this week, with a complete unveiling set for the EICMA Motorshow in Milan next month. It will be available in three different models -- the BCN Sport, BCN City, and BCN My Volta -- each of which pack the same 35 horsepower and 70 kilometer range, but have various other tweaks to suit different tastes (with the My Volta being customizable through an online ordering tool). Details remain a bit light otherwise, but pricing is expected to come in around the €7,000 mark (or just under $10,000), with the first units set to roll out in the second quarter of 2012 -- a reservation list will also be opened up at the start of the year for those interested.

These are quite decent hp & range figures, Wonder what kind of torque it kicks up...

Very costly if you ask me. 35 HP while costing almost 5 Lakhs doesn't make sense to me.

And What does the Ninja 650 make? 66NM? And GT makes even lesser. Electric Vehicles are never comparable to Petrol ones... differences are too obvious. I must say, riding my dad's 25 kmph YoBike (now sold) was definitely fun, atleast until you reach 25 kmph and hunt for 2nd gear which isn't there.  So, this 35 bhp would be hellish fun I expect! |
