A new compact electric motorcycle has been designed for environmental city riding in the form of the Volta Ev-1 from Spain.
It’s a hot-looking electric bike with some snazzy sports design that seems destined for production for the European market.
It will be officially launched in December this year.
While beauty is in the eye of the beholder, we’ll hazard enough to say we like the look with its clean, pure lines reflecting recent sportsbike trends and there’s definitely a dose of Kawasaki emphasised by the colour choice.
The Volta EV-1 is apparently capable of a range of 70km off a recharge, meaning it’s a modest effort on that front but extensive enough for urban commuting.
Performance is humble, with 15 hp for the smaller version and 30 hp for the bigger bike with dedicated rider’s licence.
Recharge is possible with a 220V household socket and its running costs have been estimated at about 50 cents (euro) for 100 km.
That makes it good looking and economical but we’ll be more fired-up when we start to see batteries with better performance.
