Aprilia bares concept electric motorbike

Aprilia has unveiled its electric motorcycle concept dubbed as the “ELECTRICa project.”

According to the Italian motorbike brand, ELECTRICa project is a culmination of all the know-how of the Piaggio Group, which has been working on electric propulsion since 1975.

The Aprilia ELECTRICa project wears a modern interpretation of the triple headlamp cluster typically seen on the Noale-based motorcycle brand. The electrified two-wheeler also boasts compact dimensions, a low saddle height, and easily accessible controls on the handlebar.

The electric motor is positioned in the central area and powers a chain final drive. The keyless system, the LCD instrument panel, and phonic wheels in the rims introduce the theme of technology aimed at practicality, as well as active electronic aids for a safe riding experience, an area where Aprilia has been a pioneer and is still at the top among manufacturers on a global level.

“The enormous possibilities introduced by digitalization and networks are producing a radical change in life habits for all. Because an increasing amount of activity can be carried out remotely, commuting needs will also change but moving around without barriers will remain a necessity, especially among the youngest people. The thrilling riding experience that only a bike can provide cannot be virtually replaced or reproduced. The ELECTRICa project is a new concept — a lightweight, zero-emissions bike with a fun and satisfying ride to provide maximum freedom and riding pleasure even for use in the cities of the future: the fun and freedom of riding will, therefore, not be lacking and they will always be the cardinal principle at the base of all vehicles built by Aprilia, the sport bike factory par excellence,” Aprilia said in a press release.
