Russian Arms manufacturer Kalashnikov unveils an electric bike

Date:

Kalashnikov, Russia’s largest weapons manufacturing company, has ventured into the automobile industry with a high tech electric bike besides an electric car to compete with Tesla’s line of supercars.

While last year, Kalashnikov had unveiled electric motorcycles for police use this year it has focussed on both the armed forces with the Super Moto, or SM-1 and civilians with Urban Moto, or UM-1.

The UM-1, unveiled at the 2018 International Military Technical Forum, along with the SM-1 are manufactured by Kalashnikov subsidiary IZH.

The UM-1 looks like a super-moto version, but shares the same beefy upside down front forks with the SM-1 off-road motorcycle, along with high ground clearance and dual-sport tyres.

Off road, military style UM-1 weighs less than 200 kgs, can hit speeds of about 90 kmph, and can cover about 150 kilometers on a single charge.

Both SM-1 and UM-1 are powered by a brushless DC motor with a rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
