As the name would suggest, the exhibition is centered on the growing need of environmentally friendly and sustainable solutions, and the features of this motorcycle just makes perfectly fit for the purpose: the Rondine Motor Elettra is a pure electric concept bike which was firstly introduced at the Ara Pacis in Rome, where he was appreciated as a proper example of innovative and unique electric bike.

The concept presented in Helsinki was designed by Marco Nuccitelli, who took care of the whole thing style- and engineering-wise, and is bound to hit production pretty soon.
