The Woxon Wattman
French Company, Voxan has unveiled the Voxan Wattman which they claim is the most powerful electric motorcycle in the world. The Voxan Wattman which had its premiere at the Paris Motorcycle Show is a 200 horsepower beast that produces 200Nm of torque.
The makers claim that the bike will do 0-160km/h in 5.9 seconds and its belt drive electric motor offers its rider flexibility. The Voxan Wattman’s ultra-compact 12.8kWh battery has a range of 180km and can be recharged to 80% capacity in 30 minutes.
The Wattman unique looks is down to its ultra-rigid exoskeleton that integrates all the components of the bike’s powertrain. The bike’s designer Sacha Lakic says ““this aluminium exoskeleton which contains the battery is the motorcycle’s signature. You can tell from this design that it is an electric machine.”
The Voxan (link is external) Wattman will be produced unit-by-unit, upon order, and hand-assembled in France, at the Solesmes (Sarthe) Electric Vehicle Manufacture. There is no word yet on price. Voxan say that “the WATTMAN illustrates the new techniques and stylistic direction of the brand, with avant-garde technologies in the field of electric mobility and a design that anticipates the shape of bikes to come.”
