Hammarhead Volta

Hammarhead Industries is growing fast. To date, they’ve sold five Jack Pines and a couple of Woodsmen, and they have a firm order for the Ural Solo X we revealed last month. But no one had ordered a Volta. “Then out of the blue we are building one,” says founder James Hammarhead. “We are back in the game with the electric bike, and I will probably build a ‘naked’ version in parallel to this customer order.” Yes, despite appearances the Volta is an electric moto (and only the seventh one we’ve featured on the site over the past two years). The current crop of electric bikes does nothing for me, but there is something interesting about the Volta. Probably because it’s the antithesis of what you’d expect — via Hammarhead Volta
