These folks aim to be innovative in just about everything they do, and the undertaking we’ll be analyzing today keeps that trend alive.
At this point in time, it goes without saying that cryptocurrencies are becoming increasingly popular, both as a payment method and an investment opportunity. Ever since Bitcoin stunned the world with its majestic climb back in 2017, a growing number of similar entities have been introduced, bringing about some fresh potential for investors and regular Joes alike.

Economics aside, a young Italian manufacturer appears to be paying close attention to this whole digital currency ordeal. The company in question is none other than Soriano Motori – an ambitious developer of top-grade electric motorcycles. As of right now, the firm is preparing to launch a spectacular trio that managed to stir the two-wheeler industry’s curiosity, thanks to the tasty design language and innovative engineering that’s gone into crafting each and every machine.

The range-topping Giaguaro V1 Gara is perfectly capable of summoning up to 100 hp and 106 pound-feet (145 Nm) of brutal twisting force at optimal revs, leading to a 0-60 mph (0-96 kph) acceleration time of just 3.5 seconds. On the other hand, the electric motor found inside Soriano’s V1S will supply no less than 80 untamed ponies, enabling the beast to accelerate 0-60 mph in 4.4 seconds. Lastly, the V1R prides itself with 90 hp on tap.

Sure enough, we’re aching to see these bad boys hit the tarmac in the second quarter of 2021! Meanwhile, if you happen to have a couple of Bitcoins sitting around and you find Soriano’s electric creations just as juicy as we do, then you might be delighted to learn that the Italian startup will be accepting some cryptocurrencies as a payment option for the aforementioned bikes. This feat makes them the very first motorcycle manufacturer to introduce virtual currencies as a transaction method on their website.

"All our clients will be able to benefit from the great advantages that cryptocurrencies offer. Thanks to digital currencies such as Bitcoin, we can carry out international transactions without commissions or without attending to exchange rate fluctuations, among others," says the company’s founder, M. Soriano. Customers may use Ethereum, LiteCash and LiteCoin, as well as BTC Cash or the almighty Bitcoin to finance their purchase.

The Giaguaro V1R is priced starting at €25,500 ($31,008 as per current exchange rates), while its V1S sibling will cost you €30,500 ($37,083). Finally, the V1 Gara comes with an eye-watering price tag of €32,500 ($39,515). All things considered, a little over two Bitcoins will grant you access to Soriano Motori’s most anticipated e-colossus.
