Are you ready to conquer city traffic with ease? If you’re familiar with Super Soco, a leading manufacturer of small-capacity electric scooters and motorcycles, you’ll be excited to learn about their rebranding to VMoto. This strategic move aims to capture a broader audience in the e-mobility space, and with it comes the exciting debut of the VMoto Stash, an electric motorcycle boasting performance comparable to a 150cc gas-powered machine.
Vmoto SOCO STASH Electric Motorcycle From Concept to Reality
While the VMoto Stash made its debut at EICMA 2021 as a concept, it’s now gearing up for production. Designed by the renowned Adrian Morton, whose portfolio includes iconic bikes like the Benelli Tornado TRE and MV Agusta F4, the Stash features an eye-catching design that seamlessly blends streamlined bodywork with futuristic angular lines.
Power and Performance
At the heart of the Stash lies a mid-mounted electric motor delivering 8 kW (approximately 10.7 horsepower). In boost mode, its power output increases to 15 kW (about 20.1 horsepower), rivaling that of a 150cc gas-powered bike. Notably, in Europe, where the Stash is set to shine, it complies with A1 license regulations due to its nominal output falling below the mandated 15-horsepower limit.
Practicality Meets Style
Beyond its sporty appearance, the Stash offers impressive practical features. The faux fuel tank doubles as a spacious storage compartment, perfect for storing a full-face helmet. With a 72-volt, 100-amp-hour battery, the Stash promises a range of 93.2 miles on a single charge. Equipped with an inverted front fork, preload-adjustable mono-shock, and front and rear disc brakes with ABS, the Stash ensures a smooth and responsive ride.
Vmoto SOCO STASH Electric Motorcycle Premium Pricing for Enthusiasts
Priced at £6,299 (approximately $8,023 USD) plus on-the-road charges, the VMoto Stash commands a premium. However, it fills a unique niche in the electric motorcycle market, catering to enthusiasts seeking more than just utility and practicality from their rides.
The Future of Electric Motorcycling
In a market dominated by small-capacity scooters and commuters, the VMoto Stash stands out as a beacon for enthusiasts. With options like the Stash emerging from leading names like Energica and Zero Motorcycles, the future of electric motorcycling is bright, offering thrilling rides for enthusiasts like you and me.
