Dependence on non-renewable resources, greenhouse gas emissions and vulnerable fuel prices present clear need for cleaner transportation. Automobiles have historically been the focus of alternative energy transportation, however motorcycles generate over 4 times more carbon emissions than an SUV. With over 200 million motorcycles in use worldwide, the impact on our environment is significant. MotoVolta is an early stage start-up developing scalable electric powertrain technology. Our flagship motorcycle will feature modern sportbike styling and 600cc comparable performance.
Unlike current electric motorcycles which are used primarily for neighborhood transportation and urban commuting, we will create a machine with the capability to hold its own in the canyons and on the freeway. Our performance, progressive design and state of the art features will separate us from the current market, while nearly silent operation and an automatic transmission will let riders experience the ride and the natural environment around them. Motorcyclists at all levels will enjoy the riding experience like never before.
