Modular battery pack

A special aspect of the motorcycles is that they have a self-developed battery pack. This pack consists of 24 cartridges that have 28.5 kWh of energy, which enables to have the motorcycle to have a range of 380 kilometres on a single charge. Furthermore, it is possible to adapt the whole pack to enable a lighter motorcycle with a more sportive driving style.
