Pepper Motorcycles is a Swiss startup who have released a prototype for the ever growing electric two wheeler market. This company is geared towards the development and production of lightweight electric motorcycles.
Commuters are increasingly looking at sustainable, personal mobility options and Pepper Motorcycles have a bike to provide that service.
This lightweight electric motorcycle is based on a simple platform. The concept being a blend of both motorcycle and bicycle. Pepper Motorcycles does this with a retro style and aesthetic to counter the abundance of future centric designs available in the market. The bike conforms to category L3e-A1 homologation requirements which means once this prototype reaches production it will have a similar performance to a 125cc entry level motorcycle.
As yet Pepper Motorcycles is only at the prototype stage and doesn’t have a production ready product for market. The company has stated “we want to offer a more responsible transportation alternative to people who want to move around easily and with style, in both urban and trans-urban environments”. This hip and stylish prototype will definitely have a place in that market.
