Voxan Wattman electric superbike
Positioned as the most powerful electric bike ever built, the Wattman produces 200hp and 200Nm of instant eyeball-popping torque. Will it make it to Oz?The electric motorcycle genre has just been given another massive shot in the arm in Paris overnight. That’s where Voxan was reborn as an e-bike manufacturer following the release of the seriously potent ‘Wattman’ superbike.
The liquid-cooled machine claims a cool 200hp (150kW), supported by an eye-ball popping 200Nm of instant torque from the electric motor up to 10,500rpm. Voxan says it’s the most powerful electric motorcycle every built, and claims 0-160km/h in under six seconds.
The Wattman, engineered in Monaco and manufactured in France, doesn’t have a frame per se, but instead is held together by an amalgam of the 12.8kwh battery pack, charger and cooling system. Voxan calls it an ‘exoskeleton’ design. There’s a polished aluminium exterior.
The rear suspension is a of parallelogram-shaped four-link design with two dual oscillating arms that creates an extension of the battery pack towards the rear axle. Voxan says the horizontality “gives the bike stability and elegance”.
Range is estimated at 180km, and in Europe a special quickcharge system will allow an 80 per cent charge in 30 minutes.
