Yes, even though they appear in many styles (some appeared with the sportsbike models and there are also some models in the scrambler style), the unique thing is that they are always combined with the use of a twin-boxer engine. Yes, the twin-boxer engine has always been like a hallmark of BMW motorcycle models.

But apart from that, of the many styles of motorbikes that exist today, only the cruiser style that this German brand has not been able to beat. As quoted from Motorbiscuit, after being unsuccessful when launching the BMW R1200C cruiser model back in 1998, though it was heavily endorsed through its appearance as a ride of James Bond (the famous 007-codeed British spy agent) in his action sequel is entitled 'Tomorrow Never Dies' and aired at the time.

R1200C was the predecessor of the BMW R18 recent model was launched in the 1998. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2GSdZa7)
And recently BMW brought back a new cruiser-style motorcycle called the BMW R18, and it is planned that the motorcycle model can be see at the Yokohama 'Moon Eyes' Hot Rod Custom Show 2021. It is not known whether the model intended to meet the loyal customers demands or just to finish the curiosity of the German manufacturer over cruiser-style motorcycle models.

R18 First Edition uses a a twin-boxer engine with a capacity of 1.802cc which is capable of spraying up to 91 horsepower at 4,750 rpm with a maximum torque of 157.2 Nm at 3,000 rpm. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/33FY2wG)
But, to be honest, the appearance of this motorcycle looks dashing in its cruiser style which has always been synonymous with the V-twin engined motorbike made by its American rival, Harley-Davidson. And from the look and style, it seems that the American manufacturer should be worried about the presence of this BMW motorcycle model.

How not, this motorcycle is equipped with a twin-boxer engine with a capacity of 1.802cc which is capable of spraying up to 91 horsepower at 4,750 rpm with a maximum torque of 157.2 Nm at 3,000 rpm. Apart from that, BMW Motorrad claims that the R18 has the largest Boxer engine ever. The German motorcycle manufacturer will launch 2 variants of the BMW R18, namely the BMW R18 Standard and the R18 First Edition with an exclusive appearance.

According to the maker, the BMW R18 motorcycle was inspired by its predecessor such as the BMW R5, R50 and R60/2. As for the price, this German manufacturer has a price tag of around $ 17,495 or around Rp. 291.1 million for the standard R18 variant, while for the R18 First Edition variant its price tag is set at around $19,870 or around setara Rp.330.7 million.

As we all know, in the 1950s, automotive industry players competed with each other to attract the attention of customers and then buy their production cars.Various ways have been done including by making several exhibition cars intended to lead public opinion regarding the technological advances they have achieved at that time and create trends so that they have the opportunity to dominate the automotive market.
1952 Lincoln Continental 1950-X is the first Ford's dream car with a tagline 'Car of Tomorrow'. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3ixoME4)
This is also done by Ford Motor Company, one of America's well-known car manufacturers which are known to have launched a lot of cars for sale around the world. As quoted from Carstyling.ru, the first dream car ever made by this American manufacturer may be worthied give to a car launched in early 1952, this car was originally named Lincoln Continental 1950-X and was also given the tagline 'Car of Tomorrow,' but then changed to Ford X-100 in 1953. And the name changed again to Lincoln Typhoon in 1957.
1952 Lincoln Continental 1950-X was also intended as a pilot model being studied for the development of a future practical five-passenger sedan. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3ixoME4)
In addition to compensating its rival compatriots General Motors (GM), which was also at that time to be making its dream car model, the car was also intended as a pilot model being studied for the development of a future practical five-passenger sedan. Turn out, the car's torpedo style also inspired the birth of later models such as the Ford Thunderbird in the 1960s and many other models.
1953 Ford X-100is dubbed as 'laboratory on wheels,' was functioned like a laboratory for the manufacture of new features that later might be included into the production cars'. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/36xi4vr)
Well, at that time the 'concept car' term did not exist yet, and then Ford called it a 'laboratory on wheels,' where this car was functioned like a laboratory for the manufacture of new features that later might be included into its production cars. Initially the car was made on a model scale to be tested in wind tunnels where the results are then used as important clues for future trends or products.
1953 Ford X-100 has 50 innovative features, including moisture-sensitive cells on the roof, which automatically closes plastic sliding roof panels, etc. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/36xi4vr)
Ford claims to have included as many as the first of 50 innovative features on this car, including moisture-sensitive cells on the roof, which automatically closes plastic sliding roof panels, a built-in hydraulic jacking system, heated seats and telephones, finally becoming commonplace. Others, such as the variable volume horn and in-car electric shaver, never really caught the attention of the public, etc.
1953 Ford X-100 has a sleek cockpit features an instrument panel with gauges clustered around
the driver and a row of controls on the dashboard similar to the
airplane throttles. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3d1wXHv)
In appearance, this car shows how the curved windshield merges with the top of the clear dome.And in anticipation of using the car in sunny weather, just above the front seat is attached a non-dazzling, low heat transmission section that can be mechanically pulled into the leather covered canopy.
The prototype is built on a 1952 production Lincoln chassis with a wheelbase of 123 inches, which was worked out in dramatic style by Ford's advanced design team that included Joe Oros, John Najjar and Elwood Engel. The sleek cockpit features an instrument panel with gauges clustered around the driver and a row of controls on the dashboard similar to the airplane throttles.
1953 Ford X-100 was fitted with an upgraded Lincoln 317.5 cubic inches V8 engine, which able to spew power of 300 horses. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3d1wXHv)
It is known that this car measures over 221 inches in length and 81 inches in width, with comfortable seating and offers a spacy enough room for two passengers. The top features a clear plexiglass half roof that can retract in and out of the upper pocket which operates automatically via an electric motor and a rain sensor.
The car was fitted with a Lincoln V8 engine, typically displacing 317.5 cubic inches and producing 160 hp, upgraded to 300 hp via traditional hot rod techniques, including a free flowing exhaust manifold and a dual long range tube air purifier.One of the high-performance modes of the early 50s that a number of V8s tried was the five-carburetor intake manifold which the Ford dubbed the "Multi-Plex".
A fully functional prototype was produced and exhibited at various auto shows in America and Europe in 1953 as part of the automaker's 50th anniversary celebrations (the Ford Motor company was officially founded on June 16, 1903.) This car also became a movie-star when it acted in a Hollywood movie entitled 'A Woman World' in 1954. Finally in 1958, when its stint as an exhibition car ended, the car this was donated to the Henry Ford Museum, where it lives to this day. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | THEHENRYFORD.ORG | CARSTYLING.RU | MACMOTORCITYGARAGE.COM]

In the 1980s Peugeot was going through difficult times and was considered to have lost its charisma.As if to answer these allegations as well as proof, Peugeot revealed something fractal, starting with the launch of a convertible sports concept car that should really impress us for a future car called the Peugeot Quasar in 1985.
This French automotive manufacturer's journey continued when in 1988 it launched an attractive concept car named Peugeot Oxia.Implicitly this concept car is inspired by the Peugeot Quasar concept car.And at that time Peugeot had to spend around ₣8 million or around £2 million to build two units of the Oxia concept car.
This concept car bears an unusual name because reportedly the name was taken from an area on our neighbor red planet, Mars called Oxia Palus. As reported from Automobile magazine, Peugeot's head of interior styling at the time, Paul Bracq, seems eager to compare this 1980s Peugeot Oxia concept car to the exoticism of some legendary 1930s cars, by calling it "my idea of a Delage, Delahaye, or Talbot for the 1990s."
The French car company further describes the creation of the Peugeot Oxia concept car at that time as "the dreamer essence hidden deep in the hearts of modern humans." It was a car that "everyone would like to have but no one else could." In general, this concept car is built using the same platform as the Peugeot's sports car for the Le Mans championship which is equipped with a V6, 286cc, twin-turbo engine so that it can produce about 670 hp at 8,200 rpm and a maximum torque of 535 lb.ft at 4,500 rpm.
The Peugeot Oxia weighs of 1,377kg is equipped with an intricate transmission system featuring an epicyclic center differential that provides a torque separation of 25% at the front, 75% at the rear, and incorporates a thick Ferguson clutch, plus electronically controlled limited-slip differentials at the front and rear and steering is responsible for a lot of it. The suspension is also double wishbone, not to mention that each gas-filled damper is surrounded by a pair of concentric coil springs.
Underneath its sleek appearance, the Oxia concept is a mix between Group B rally cars and Group C sports racings. There is an enormous side intake duct adorning its body, while the driver and occupants sit in a large glass canopy accompanied by Clarion's entertainment devices. This car is also equipped with a computer system that is ready to map travel routes, perform standard safety checks, and warn of road and traffic conditions ahead. While at the rear, there are twin megaphone exhaust pipes that can roar loudly when used on the streets.
At that time, to show their sincerity that Oxia was more than just a show car, Peugeot invited many journalists to go around testing it. With a test driver from tire manufacturer Michelin behind the wheel, the Peugeot super-coupe was able to reach a top speed of 217 mph (348 kph), and reportedly that's a figure far beyond what the French company previously claimed.
Although we will never see it running for real on the road, or even slated to appear in Peugeot's line of racing models and possibly in production cars. However, this can be said to be a historic milestone for Peugeot to re-establish itself as one of the world's automotive top-marques. *** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | JALOPNIK | DRIVETRIBE]

The very rapid development of technology lately has massively touched the automotive world. This can be seen when the application of an electric motor as the prime mover in a vehicle is no longer a new thing today. It is noted that now the technology has moved a step further with supercapacitor technology as applied by the Italian premium car brand Lamborghini in one of its newest supercar models called Lamborghini Sián FKP 37.
The NAWA Racer Concept is the newest electric-powered motorcycle made by NAWA Technologies in collaboration with the Envisage Group. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/34kPMS1)
The question now is whether the potential technology of this supercapacitor can be applied to a motorcycle? Now the answer is predictable. This technology can be applied to two-wheeled vehicles, this has been done by NAWA Technologies, a French technology company. Actually, this company is not an electric motorcycle manufacturer, but a battery manufacturer. But it seems that they are getting interested in the sexiness of the electric two-wheeler market, and decided to design and build an electric motorcycle.
To realize this goal, the company collaborates with the Envisage Group, an industrial design company known to have worked with Jaguar and several other brands in its latest vehicle developments. The collaboration-resulted motorcycle comes with a very futuristic design, and one highlight is a hubless rear wheel, which is then given cool touches including the wrap-around LED taillight and duck-tailed seat.
2020 NAWA Racer Concept uses a 9kWh electric motor and featured a lithium battery combined with NAWACap. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2GnfbT1)
This motorcycle later is known as the NAWA Racer looks inspired by the cafe-racer design which carries the best technology which significantly boosts performance and can mark a significant step forward for the performance of an electric motorcycle or the performance potential of anything that needs batteries for motive power, including electric cars.
This French company adds a supercapacitor to this motorcycle (which is internally referred to as an ultracapacitor under the brand of NAWACap). In short, this technology is almost the same as a battery, except that it can be charged in seconds, and can then dump that charge at an extremely high rate. And it can be used over and over again without substantial performance loss. The motorbike is designed to have a lightweight thanks to the application of this carbon fiber frame using a 9kWh electric motor.

The power source itself is taken from a lithium battery combined with NAWACap. The presence of this combination makes the NAWA Racer the first electric motorcycle in the world to use hybrid technology in its battery system. The hybrid technology on the NAWA Racer is able to recharge up to 80% more power during braking. The fact, the café racer-styled motorbike which weighs 150 kg is able to accelerate to the top speed of 160 kph.

The top speed is created thanks to the ability of the NAWA battery which has a power of 98 hp.This motorbike can also move as far as 289 km with a full battery condition. From a stop or during hard acceleration. NAWA claims the racer can go 0-60 in about three seconds with a top speed of about 100 miles an hour and also improved power-to-weight ratio also helps in performance metrics and improves handling.
The NAWA Racer has been showcased last January at the CES 2020 event in Las Vegas. Still not known, whether the NAWA Racer will be produced and marketed in the near future?

The human being's desire to fly has been an obsession since a long time ago, and with more development of technology todays, it's possible to us be built the flying means are getting closer to the original dream, namely 'to fly like a bird.' Then what about the development of flying car technology? It seems that nowadays the development of flying cars is also possible, so it is not surprising that many companies have designed and developed flying car models.
The Firenze Lanciare, a flying car concept designed by a Californian designer named Greg Brown who is claimed to be able to run fast on land like a Lamborghini and fly at 500 mph in the air like a Jet plane. (Picture from: RobbReport)
Here is the Firenze Lanciare, a flying car concept designed by a Californian designer named Greg Brown who is claimed to be able to run fast on land like a Lamborghini and fly at 500 mph in the air like a Jet plane. The flying car mentioned above carries 'hybrid' styles which is able to make it a jet when in the air and a supercar like a Lamborghini when used on the highway. In either mode, the Californian designer claims his Firenze Lanciare will outperform any of the other flying-car designs under development.
While flying in the air, it uses the retractable wings extended, coupled with the the 2,000 lbs harnessing thrust derived from the two Williams FJ-33 jet engines, the Firenze Lanciare looks like a sci-fi aircraft. And said to be had an air cruising speed of 520 mph and a range of about 850 miles, thanks to a 300 gallon fuel tank. While on the road, Firenze Lanciare will uses two Tesla's electric motors with totaling 1,000 hp, so it can be accelerated from 0 to 60 mph such as the Lambo's acceleration, ie in less than four seconds.
With its retractable wings, the Firenze Lanciare able to turn into a jet with a cruise speed of 520 mph. (Picture from: RobbReport)
As a former jet pilot, Brown showed that most of the systems and design elements used in the concept are already present in the aircraft todays. These elements include a blend of high-tech materials to provide strength while keeping weight down, including its foam-core body wrapped in carbon fiber, a chromoly frame and aluminum chassis.
Furthermore, the retractable tires produced by several automotive manufacturers already meet its proposed engineering specs. Then they combine with the off-road truck suspensions to allow rough-strip landings, while the jet thrust and carbon-fiber brakes mean the Firenze would only need 2,500 feet of runway.
While the cockpit is not like the most aircrafts have, its interior is a pure supercar. Inside, the avionics includes a head-up display and fully redundant mechanical controls backed up by electrically actuated flaps and stabilizers. The leather seats for four occupants are coupled with sound-insulating foam, while laminated polycarbonate windows combine strength and sound dampening.
The U.S. design team incorporated many components of existing cars/trucks and airplanes into the Firenze Lanciare. (Picture from: RobbReport)
So far, the flying car true uses remains an unanswered question and potentially invites endless debate. Not to mention that you still need to take off and land at the airport under current laws and keep appointments for private airstrips. Is it much easier to drive to the airport, switch to flight mode, go through the initial check and take off than just to drive, park and transfer to a plane? Do the flying cars still sound more fun?
Still, in every commuter's minds could generally be described as follow, they driving a supercar down the highway and suddenly blasting up into the sky to get out of a traffic jam, or backing out of the driveway, firing up the jets and using the street as a runway. The fantasy such as the Jetson are universal, and soon to be realized into real.
It indicated and can be seen on the PAL-V which has received its road certification in Europe and is expected to receive approval from aviation authorities next year, so that its production phase will begin in 2022. So it could be said the other flying car concepts will be increasingly possible to immediately realized. *** [EKA (15042021) | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | ROBBREPORT ]

Maybe you still remember the figure of the Ferrari 250 GTO, one of the great iconic cars ever made by Ferrari, the Italian renowned premium car manufacturer with the prancing horse logoed in the 1960s.
Just to refresh our memory, the Ferrari 250 GTO ('Gran Turismo Omologata' or 'Grand Touring Homologated' in English) is a GT class car is used a V12 Tipo 168/62 Colombo engine and produced from 1962 to 1964 for fulfilling the homologation condition on the FIA's Grand Touring Car Group 3 category.
Ferrari Omologata is a unique coachbuilt one-off model and is described by the Maranello-based manufacturer as a vibrant evocation of the values that define Ferrari in relation to GT racing. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3i4ZSvc)
In the present context, perhaps in your mind as a speed lover who idolizes the Italian prancing horse species wondering, is Ferrari in officially launching a model like the iconic 250 GTO once again? It seems those whisper echos had reached to the Maranello-based auto manufacturer and tease them to do something.
Ferrari Omologata designed by a variety of subtle nods of design inspired by science fiction, racing heritage, and modern architecture. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3i4ZSvc)
And now here's good news, Ferrari has officially launched its newest model although only one unit is made under the name Ferrari Omologata.
As quoted from Top Gear, this is a unique coachbuilt one-off model and is described by the Maranello-based manufacturer as a vibrant evocation of the values that define Ferrari in relation to GT racing. Also, it said as equally at ease on the road as it is hitting the apex on the track in the hands of a true gentleman driver.
Ferrari Omologata sweeps back to the rear with a new three horizontal transverses 'cuts', while the new rear spoiler is said to offer downforce, and set off the car’s 'aggressive, sporty stance.' (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3i4ZSvc)
This beautiful car was built by a Ferrari's special design team headed by Flavio Manzoni which is made entirely of aluminum, with a flattened oval grille, which tapers up to a rounded section over the front wheel arches. It sweeps back to the rear with a new three horizontal transverses 'cuts', while the new rear spoiler is said to offer downforce, and set off the car’s 'aggressive, sporty stance.'
Furthermore, Ferrari said that the Omologata was made especially under commission of a 'discerning European client' and was completed in about 2 years and had much to express. And among those many things, this Omologata is built on the base of the Ferrari 812 Superfast model where all that's left of 812 is the headlights, windshield, and chassis, while the rest is a variety of subtle nods of design inspired by science fiction, racing heritage, and modern architecture.
Ferrari Omologata uses a 6.5-liter V12 engine that is estimated to be capable of producing 789bhp of power and described as more a transcendental celebration of the internal combustion. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3i4ZSvc)
Even though it uses the same drivetrain as the 812 Superfast, a 6.5-liter V12 engine that is estimated to be capable of producing 789bhp of power, the Omologata's engine isn’t so much a big, powerful engine, and described as more a transcendental celebration of the internal combustion. Unfortunately, there is no performance record yet, although the Italian manufacturer says that this model has tested it on the Ferrari’s Fiorano test track.
Then what should be underlined about this model is the use of a new red color for the livery called Rosso Magma with a dark carbon fiber coating and special racing graphics developed by the Italian premium car manufacturer.
Inside, the leather/fabric seats are electric blue with four-point racing harnesses, and there are metal parts covered with a 'cracked paint' effect on the dashboard and steering wheel, to reflect Ferrari’s Fifties and Sixties GT racers.There is even a 'paint hammer' effect on the doorknobs and the center 'bridge' console.*** [EKA | FROM VARIOUS SOURCES | TOP GEAR]

When electric vehicles become a trend that is actually practiced by automotive industry players in many countries in the world today. This also invites automotive industry players in Indonesia. But now we will discuss two-wheeled electric vehicles which are done specifically by an Indonesian design studio called Katalis Company which is fully supported by the Government of the Republic of Indonesia through the Ministry of Industry.

Previously, in April 2020 the Katalis Company had released a prototype electric-powered motorcycle with a similar design but with less power called the Katalis EV.500. By carrying out the same design inspiration, namely from the design of an old fighter plane P-51 Mustang with a strong and fierce impression.
Katalis EV.1000 TheArsenale Special Edition is built by using aluminum for the body and frame including the swing arm. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2FPqPWx)
However, there are some obvious differences between the two, as seen in the EV.1000 body which is painted in a matte black with orange-colored graphics which is meant to give a fierce aura, then there is installed an upside-down fork to hold tight its front-wheel while the EV.500 still uses a telescopic model. Then the next difference is in the electric motor which is now spew more bigger power.
Katalis EV.1000 TheArsenale Special Edition uses an electric motor capable spew of 1,000 watts of power with a 48V-45Ah lithium battery. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/35SLP9v)
The electric motor installed on the EV.1000 is capable of delivering up to 1,000 watts of power with a 48V-45Ah lithium battery. So that it is able to carry this EV. 1000 motorbike to run up to a top speed of 70-80kph with a maximum distance of 90km.

This electric motorbike is built using aluminum for the body and frame. In addition to the body (1mm aluminum) and frame (3mm aluminum), 3mm thickness aluminum is also used to make the swing arm in a boxy shape.
Interestingly, each of the Katalis EV.1000's body panels is attached using rivets, so that it resembles the body of the aircraft which is the source of its inspiration. As quoted from TheArsenale, this compact-sized electric motorbike is offered at a price of around $ 9,999.00 (approx Rp. 146 millions).

The German automotive company named 'Kumpan electric' is released the latest model of the electric scooter. Interestingly, this new electric scooter has a similar appearance to Vespa, an Italian scooter. When it first appeared, Kumpan 54 series only the Inspire and Iconic variants were available. The scooter powered by a 3 kW electric motor with a maximum speed of 45 kph, while the maximum coverage is up to 186 km.
The German-made Kumpan 54 Series electric powered scooter has four variants, namely Inspire, Iconic, Ignite, and Impulse. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/33DV4aT)
Due to its speed is not much fast, so You are not required to have a driving license to take it running on the road (of Europe). But the company is well aware, not everyone wants to make their daily transportation at such a slow pace.
As a result, the Ignite and Impulse variants were created to fulfill the demands of a part of the consumer. There is no difference, but of course, its electric motor capacity is experienced a significant increase in specifications.
The Kumpan 54 'Inspire' variant uses powered by a 3 kW electric motor with a maximum speed of 45 kph. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3kttJ1Q)
For example, the Ignite variant electric motor capable of producing 7 kW (9.4 hp) - 8.4 kW (11.3 hp) at its peak power. It is also able to go up to 100 kph, that's pretty good for a compact scooter, the battery still relies on the same type. There're two lithium-ion packages are stored in the back of the trunk, each with a capacity of 1.5 kWh. And if at any time you want to extend the mileage, there is one more battery space available.
The Kumpan 54 'Iconic' variant as one of the early models of the 54 Series powered by a similar 3 kW electric motor of its sibling Inspire variant. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2EblxEb)
By having three batteries are activated, Kumpan claims its e-scooter can run 80-110 km (combination). Depending on the weather conditions, riding style, to the rider's body size, it's not as impressive as its other variant. But even that distance was enough to get around the city. Meanwhile, the Impulse variant, whose more moderate, this scooter is not too slow and also not as excessive as the Ignite variant.
While the Kumpan 54 'Ignite' variant uses a more powerful of 7 kW - 8.4 kW electric motor with a maximum speed of 100 kph. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/2EblxEb)
The electric motor throws a maximum power of 4 kW (5 hp) and touches a top speed of 70 kph. The batteries are the same, but if all three are installed, the resulting mileage extends from 100-120 km. The Ignite and Impulse batteries can be removed easily and the charging mechanism does need to be removed, the charging time for both are the same, all takes 4 hours. Not only environmentally friendly and fast, but there were also a variety of advanced features that are incorporated into these two scooter variants.
And for the Kumpan 54 'Impulse' variant uses a little bit low of 4 kW electric motor than its sibling Ignite variant with a maximum speed of 75 kph. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3iNoWIs)
Most impressively, they have cruise control features. Well, which scooter has this kind of technology? Even the conventional scooter types are only in the expensive flagship series. It is no exaggeration to call it the most sophisticated for the middle-class scooter. The scooter is featured with four driving modes: Sport, Comfort, Eco, and Rain. Just adjust the path that will be passing through and to activate it can be done from your handgrip.
The German-made Kumpan 54 Series e-scooter has a 7-inch digital screen right on the center of its handlebar that lets you connect to your gadget, automatically all information is copied on the cellphone screen. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3iNoWIs)
On the handlebars, there is a 7-inch digital screen that lets you connect to your gadget, automatically all information is copied on the cellphone screen. Ranging from the speed, the remaining mileage, power consumption, and all things related to the scooter are neatly recorded on the screen and on the device, including the location of the scooter and navigation. If at any time the scooter is lost or is being borrowed, in real-time the owner can monitor the location points, as well as the driving behavior of those who wear them.
Furthermore, the Kumpan 54 Series e-scooter has three 1,5kWh lithium-ion battery slots in its compact compartment under the saddle and claimed if all three batteries activated, the scooter will run as far as 80-110 km. (Picture from: https://bit.ly/3iNoWIs)
Next talking about appearance, the entire line-up of the Kumpan e-scooter is identical, but it's a bit difficult not to say the inspiration came from the Piaggio's Vespa. Because many body panels from the facade to the rear are similar, maybe because the retro theme that is carried is already synonymous with the iconic scooter from Italy.
The whole body is rounded. The façade is decorated with a large shield, along with a unique designed inverted triangle lamp, the headlight does not use mica, the light comes directly from the LED projector with a small, minimalist DRL, but high-tasted accents.
This Kumpan e-scooter is sold from €5,847 or around Rp.102 million. Meanwhile, its Ignite variant is offered in a little bit high priced of €6,822, or around Rp.119 million.
