Brembo, Ohlins and Acerbis are some of the elite parts found on many elite motorcycles worldwide. But this time they’re found not on the many, but the few - an electric motocross machine.
The evolt Bull1 joins the green two-wheel off-road scene alongside the Zero X, the Quantya track and the bike KTM is working on. The Bull1 is the newest addition to evolt’s stable including a trail bike and scooter, but how does it measure up?
Let’s just say that based on the specifications, it may be an interesting race.
Want more? Here it is:
- Motor: Brushless 84Volt 3.500rpm
- Nominal power: 10Kw (13.4hp)
- Max power: 33.5Kw (50hp)
- Nominal torque: 23 ft-lb
- Max torque: 35.4 ft-lb
- Batteries: 28 cell Lithium Polymer 96Volt 30Ah
- Range: 2 hours off-road ride
- Speed: 43-55 mph
- Weight: 209-231lb
What else? How about a regenerative braking system linked to the back brake to recapture the energy when slowing. But don’t worry, if you want to lock-up that back wheel you’ll have a traditional brake back there too.
Want to get sloppy? A fully waterproof brushless motor made in (get this) Italy says get dirty, have fun and hose it down without a worry. And to top it off, the battery pack sustains in excess of 1,500 charges, with a two-hour endurance and one-hour charge time. Get two and ride all day!
The only downside we see is the absence of the sound of a hive of angry bees at the start of a race.
