A NEW FRENCH REVOLUTION
VOXAN has today achieved a major revolution in French motorcycle history. Unveiled at the Paris Motorcycle Show, the bike positions revived French brand VOXAN at the cutting edge of 100% electric propulsion.
According to VOXAN, “Symbolic of VOXAN’s revival, 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.”
200 HP
With 200 HP and an instantaneous torque of 200Nm up to 10,500 rpm, WATTMAN is currently the world’s most powerful electric motorcycle.
VOXAN is claiming “lightning acceleration” of 0-160kph (96mph) in 5.9 seconds. Hold on tight!
EXOSKELETON
VOXAN inaugurates a new motorcycle architecture built around a motor-battery pack carrier set. The frame is replaced by an ultra-rigid exoskeleton, integrating all the components of the powertrain. This results in a very pure motorcycle without a visible technical feature. To Sacha LAKIC, its designer: “this aluminium exoskeleton which contains the battery is the motorcycle’s signature. You can tell from this design that it is an electric machine.”
RECHARGED IN LESS THAN 30 MINUTES
WATTMAN features a claimed charging time of 80% in less than 30 minutes thanks to a “COMBO II” socket, the European quick charge standard. It can also be plugged to a standard household socket, thanks to its integrated charger. Not as fast, though.
Its ultra-compact 12.8kWh battery is specified to permit 180 km (108 miles) of range.
ABOUT VOXAN
Since its inception in 1995, the company VOXAN has embodied the renewal of the French motorcycle. It was taken over in 2010 by Gildo PALLANCA PASTOR, with the objective of positioning it at the forefront of technologies developed to support sustainable mobility – a choice identical to the one which led him to take over the French brand VENTURI in 2000 to make it a world leader in the field of electric propulsion.
