Ready, Set, Bolt!

If you are a city dweller, you know that getting around town can be tough. Whether it’s traffic, a lack of parking, too far to walk, too steep to bicycle, or you just don’t feel like waiting for a bus or train, getting from point A to point B can be a real chore.But it doesn’t have to be…

This is the Bolt M-1, the world’s first hybrid motorbike. It combines the thrill of a motorbike with the ease of a bicycle and was made especially for city living.Bolt is for just about everyone. Here’s why:

No license? No problem! Bolt travels a maximum of 20MPH in economy mode to meet California’s electric bicycle regulations. This means you don’t need a license, registration, or insurance to operate. Additionally, there is a “Sport Mode” that turns up the power and speed for off-road use.Twist & Go! Bolt is accessible to all levels of riders. There is no clutch to grab or gears to shift. Simply hit the throttle and you’re on your way. Need a bit of exercise? Use Bolt’s pedals to manually take you to your destination.

21st century tech! Bolt features a patented drive train, a patent-pending lithium ion battery, intuitive dash with real time feedback display, keyless entry, and USB port, and is Bluetooth-enabled to connect with your smartphone for even more features.Goodbye gas stations! Bolt is completely electric and can travel up to 35 miles on a single charge. Plug it in when not in use to keep your battery charged. For a mere 21 cents a day, you have reliable, green transportation at your command.

It’s convenient: Because it’s a bike, you can park it anywhere… even on the sidewalk! Simply lock it up as you would a standard bicycle. Also, there’s no oil or gas to worry about, so you can store it inside your house if a garage is not available.And most of all… It’s fun! Bolt gives the highest performance and most motorcycle-like experience of any motorbike. It’s fast and zippy and can climb hills with ease. Its classic retro look, with modern design is sure to turn heads. With Bolt, cruising around the city has never been so much fun.

Bolt was created and developed by a talented team here in the Bay Area with the goal of inviting new riders who are interested in owning an efficient electric vehicle. The company completed a successful Indiegogo campaign late last year, exceeding its fundraising goals. 2016 will no doubt be a big year for Bolt as the M-1’s hit the road and we at LMGPR are expecting great things from them.Check Bolt out for yourself here and follow them on Twitter @BoltMotorbikes for all the latest updates.
