Built around an impressive aluminum frame-shell cut in the mass which integrates the battery (Lithium Ion) and the electronic components, at the back of which is housed the engine, the machine, impressive by its look, the is also by its performance: "200 horses from 7500 to 10 500 revolutions", but above all a maximum torque of "200 Nm from 0 (zero) to 6000 revolutions" !

"The most powerful electric motorcycle in the world"

The Wattman would perform the 0 to 100 km / h in 3.4 seconds and the 0 to 160 in 5.9 seconds, for a maximum speed estimated at 170 km / h and a range of "180 km following the standard NEDC cycle". Finally, the charging time of its battery, particularly ambitious, would be "less than 30 minutes (fast charge at 80%) on a combo socket 2".

But the Franco-Monegasque boss of Voxan and Venturi assures us that he wants "to do everything in France, including assembly in our factory in Sable-Sur-Sarthe, near Le Mans".

Voxan should soon put in place a network: "we will make contacts during this show and we already have requests in the Benelux and the United States", affirms Mr. Pallanca Pastor who also plans "other versions less efficient than this. Wattman, more linked to reality ".
