For Milan’s Italian Volt, Lacama means custom electric performance

“With a name that speaks for itself, Italian Volt has introduced its first electric motorcycle. With sportbike performance in mind, the Lacama is designed as a high-end creation that can be customized into whatever its owner wishes: roadster, scrambler, café racer, or even a personal theme.”

As shown at NewAtlas.com, here is a new alternative to Zero electric motorcycles, but very pricey. I like the concept of allowing the customer to customize the body work. They also have the capability of a quick charge to 80%.

Good Reading

I received two motorcycling books for Christmas (celebrated in mid January this year) that may be of interest. The first is a short book that relates the experience of riding across the US in the summer of 1970. Not a great literary work, but it is fun to read and refeel those freedom days. The title is “Those Were the Days” by Edward A. Walls. The second is by Jack Lewis, contributing editor for Motorcyclist. The book is “Head Check” and it contains both previously printed and new articles, but in unabridged form. I particularly liked his Riding Home story of returning from military service in the Middle East and recommissioning his 1969 BMW R69/US for a head clearing ride through the Northwest. A writing style that is both Peter Egan and Edward Abbey, Lewis is a little biting at times, but he has the ability to put you on the motorcycle and experience the ride with him.  Worthy reads…
