A new all-electric powersports company by the name of Volcon has just been announced and it intends to launch a motorcycle and two ATVs. The company’s first electrified vehicle is an off-road motorcycle dubbed the Grunt. Volcon hasn’t stated how large the battery pack of the Grunt is, but says it can be recharged in two hours from a normal household outlet and is also swappable.
Coupled to the battery pack is an electric
motor that produces 50 hp and 101 Nm of torque, which should allow
it to hit 96 km/h in 6 seconds. The electric motorcycle will have a
range of up to 160 km and sports a very rugged and go-anywhere
design. Prices start at US$ 5,995.
The second model being developed by Volcon
is known as the Stag. It is a small, two-seat ATV rated at 225 hp and 406 Nm of torque that will hit 60 mph in 5 seconds and max out at 112
km/h. It has a quoted range of up to 241 km and appears to have
what it takes to deal with some treacherous terrains thanks to the adjustable
Fox suspension.
Last, but not least, is the Volcon Beast.
This is a four-door, four-seat ATV with 450 hp and 813 Nm of
torque. It will hit 60 mph in 4.5 seconds, reach a top speed of 128
km/h and has a targeted range of 241 km. It too has a Fox
suspension with optional Live Valve active technology.
Volcon intends on starting deliveries of
the Grunt electric bike in the spring of 2021, while the Stag and the Beast
will follow in late 2021 and 2022, respectively.
