City travel is getting a makeover thanks to some fresh ideas in electric transportation. Leading the charge is Motowatt, a company started by the Rabatel brothers from France. They’ve put their heads together to come up with the W1X, an electric motorcycle that’s all about making city rides smoother and greener.
The journey to create the W1X took four
years, but the outcome is pretty cool. This bike is different from what you
usually see. It’s built tough with a steel frame and has a unique suspension at
the front, making for a smooth ride. Plus, it’s got two motors, meaning it can
handle just about any city street with ease.
The W1X isn’t just about getting you
around town. It’s built to be friendly to the environment too. The bike can go
up to 130 kilometers before it needs a charge, perfect for daily commutes. And
because it’s electric, it’s quiet and clean for the city air.
Motowatt made sure this bike fits what
every rider needs. You can add on different accessories, like extra storage,
and even adjust the shocks for a better ride. They’re also doing their part for
the planet, keeping things eco-friendly in how they make the W1X.
Now, the W1X does have a price tag of
about US$ 16,152, which might seem steep. But it’s not just a bike; it’s part of
moving towards more sustainable ways to get around. Motowatt is starting to
deliver these bikes in January 2025, and they’re excited to see how it changes
the way we think about city travel.
