The world of electric motorcycles is rapidly picking up and shaping the future of both transportation and motorsports. In a recent feat, the Voxan Wattman electric motorcycle smashed 11 speed records under the wing of ex-MotoGP and World Superbike superstar, Max Biaggi. Purchased by Venturi in 2010, Voxan was refocused to develop and manufacture electric motorcycle engines.
"It was important to me to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Venturi Group’s electric adventure. It hasn’t been easy, but thanks to the hard work and mentality shown by Max and the team, we proved ourselves up to the challenge. Venturi can now claim to have created the fastest ever electric vehicles on two and four wheels."
