Cool news arrives from Spanish motorcycle maker Bultaco, which was reborn into an electric bike manufacturer. After the success of their Brinco two-wheeler, no less than three new versions will arrive presently, and all three are now homologated for street use.
This move seems to bring Bultaco back in the motorcycle business properly, as they will actually have a fleet of street-legal machines, and this means the ability to meet the needs of more customers.
Still half-bicycle and half-motorcycle, the new Brinco R-E, Campera and S models are now equipped with many motorbike amenities, including a headlight, mirrors, a rear fender, license plate and horn, as well as lateral and rear reflective panels, with stoplights and turn signals being the only things missing.
The Bultaco Brinco R-E is the closest model to the original Brinco, but now offered in a homologated trim, as described above. The top speed is limited to 45 km/h (28 mph), and the R-E is equipped with inverted forks with 180mm (7") of travel, whereas the rear wheel travel is a no-nonsense 217mm (8.5"). The peak power is 2kW and the bike comes with Sport, Touring, and Eco modes. The 1.3 kWh battery needs three hours for a full recharge from a wall outlet.
If the wilderness is your favorite scenery, then the Bultaco Brinco Campera should be the right one for you. With a lower seat height that helps to land a firm foot on the ground when needed, Campera also has slightly lowered suspensions and a handlebar that is wider for better leverage around the turns.
Finally, the Brinco S introduces a more purist approach to riding on asphalt, with the S standing for Street and not Sport, as some might be tempted to believe. The Brinco S comes with 24" wheels shod with street tires instead of knobbies, the same wider bars, and a much more comfortable seat to make long city rides less fatiguing.
All three models come with a digital dash, Bluetooth connectivity, keyless start that uses NFC, and a dedicated app for direct interaction.
These three new Bultaco bikes can be pre-ordered with a €600 ($685) deposit that also includes a draw entry with another Bultaco as the grand prize. The Bultaco Brinco R-E costs €5,800 ($6,620), the same as the Campera, while the Brinco S is €5,950 ($6,795). They can be ridden on public roads with an AM, A, or B license.
