Naked Electrocycle
The BOLT concept motorbike is a beautiful combination of the polished and sophisticated features of naked-style sports tourers and the streetfighter stance of supersports. The minimal aesthetic is somewhat deceiving as dual electric motors put out around 80kw, launching the bike with an amazing amount of torque. Other features like a clear digital display and stunning LED lighting effects leave little to be desired.

Ducati Monster of the future, love it
Matthew says
I like the concept. Looks good. Nice lines. I’m under the impression that a “Naked” bike would show all the internals…
Great bike but it’s not “Naked”.

I take my previous comment back, I’ve just remembered how bad the electrics were on my last Ducati. This is all electrics.
That said, Audi have now bought Ducati, as far as I’m aware, and I think given their brand ethos they should take a look at this, or something similar.
The naked bike thing in my mind means un-faired, which this is. I also don’t think a totally naked electric bike would have the same ‘hard edged industrial’ feel and appeal as bikes with combustion engines.

Nicely done. Presentation needed a model rider….
Nuf_Sed says
Great Renders. Design is slick and minimal. Dig it!

It’s horrible… I hope this future, containing all this 100% electric stuff, will come in a very long term !
Where is the charm of the bike ? The typical noise, the oil, the smell, the real motorbike…
Nathan says
And by “un-faired” you mean: “the headlight, forks and handlebars are un-faired”. The rest of this bike is covered in fairings, reminiscing a streamliner. Even the underside of the seat…

Please tell me when I can get one.

You’re not aware of the ecological problems we are facing, are you? …wake up!
Martin says
Amazing! Love it! An absolute beauty!
Cynic says
I honestly think it’s kind of ugly.
I’m not going to be happy when electric is the only way to get my 2 wheeled thrills if this is what they’re going to look like.

I am not arguing… but I am curious. What is done with the energy that it takes to produce a new electric vehicle, dispose of the battery every so often, generate the electricity to run it, etc.
For a vehicle that’s getting 24mpg and seats four but mostly seats 1, the motorcycle is already the clear winner.
I don’t see how it’s a winner here at all unless it’s range can go forever without a refuel, and it’s also protected from solar flares, and it’s a solar powered bike that doesn’t have battery waste – THAT’s what I’d like to see. in the meantime, give me more distance, more torque, and better mpg on a gas sipper.
So… I’m curious, what is there to wake up to to the millions of dollars of research and development, machining, factory, etc that will solve the ecological problems that gas sipping motorcycles currently don’t cause (compared to 4 wheel+) vehicles?
I’d rather see money going into 90mpg cages or clean and safe solar vehicles that don’t require 20 batteries to be “recycled” every 5 years.
Am I wrong in my thinking?
