Revolt Motors Releases Sketch Of Its Upcoming Smart Motorcycle

Revolt Intellicorp is a new EV startup and it has released a detailed sketch of its new, upcoming smart motorcycle. The company says smart because it will be A.I enabled and also fully connected. Looking at the sketch, the first thing that comes to mind is that it actually looks like a conventional motorcycle instead of the usual fare of electric two-wheelers. The sketch reveals a sculpted faux fuel tank along with upside down forks and a single piece step seat. There is a monoshock at the rear along with a long-ish tail piece which complements the overall styling of the bike. The headlamp also looks to be inspired by that of the Ducati Diavel. The idea behind making the motorcycle is to offer clean, sustainable, clean urban commute.

While Norton apparently sold off the engine rights of its 961 engine to China's Jinglang just before the brand went into administration, the deal for the 650 cc engine was finalized way back in 2017 with Chinese giant Zongshen.
