ACK! ... and me the twit that mis-posted this thread here.

So. The diff. between different "cycles"? The (bi) cycle pedalable, and the (motor) cycle not, I guess.

Sorry.

I always wanted a poweful and legal electric bike...

Sorry for breaking your dream, powerful and legal don't belong together when speaking of ebikes.

It will come true as soon as Those guys sell it as a legal and powerful motorcycle yet an ebike After all.

For sure Mr Amberwolf merge me! Only became aware of it after floating this sorry.
Excuse my exuberance but I get very excited when motor bike manufacturers get on board the ebike "movement". Always interesting to see their interpretations. I used to own a bully trials years ago and it was geared to climb up a cliff face and it never broke. I agree it needs a different power/battery combo but I would ride one before dissing it's geometry set up. No one knows hard going off-road/trials like bully. I am a bit 2 eyed a Honda for fast or a bully for lumpy and slow going.

Bully was in business for 25 years, but has been dead for 32 years. This is not a motorcycle company getting into ebikes, its a start-up that owns the rights to the Bultaco name (except in the USA), and its going to have to earn a reputation all over again.

Wiki says they'll be launching their EVs in 2015
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bultaco

Bultaco was a Spanish, manufacturer of two-stroke motorcycles from 1958 to 1983. In May 2014, a new Bultaco was announced, and the company will be selling electric-powered street motorcycles from 2015. The R&D department will be based in Madrid while the factory will be located in Barcelona.
