Remember that time Lou Reed plugged a scooter brand on TV when TV mattered? Gritty New York street scenes while the Take a Walk on the Wild Side intro played under? Not a word of dialogue until the last few seconds when the street-savvy rocker gets on his scooter and tells the camera, “Hey, don’t settle for walkin’.”
Yeah, that was sweet.
But could Lou’s ride go from zero to 100 kilometers in 4.6 seconds? And achieve a maximum speed of, well, it would almost be aiding and abetting to tell you. But lightning-quick getaways are just one of the many advantages of the Italian Volt. Just like the name suggests, the Italian Volt is an electric motorcycle. But more than that, each of these blindingly fast electric motorbikes is a limited edition, custom configured for the buyer. Each is equipped with Brembo brakes and OHLINS suspension. (Top quality brakes would seem to be a top consideration if you’re going to take full advantage of the acceleration capabilities.)
Another key benefit of this sleek machine is the fast charge — an 80 percent charge in about 40 minutes. And finally, this sweet little roadster will look great parked in whatever gritty city it takes you.
