If you are a fan of off-roading bikes (and we are) you may be interested to see the Spanish all electric off-roaders series The Moto-Bike by Bultaco got the all thumbs up after a day being tested by different units of the Spanish Army, Air-Force, Navy and Police forces.
Apparently even representatives of the United States Air Force (USAF) and US Marines Corps converged on this test where they were able to check different versions of the Bultaco Brinco, including those of the Army line, of which the SEADA has already acquired some units, as well as the prototypes of future projects focused on Defence and Security.
The feedback at the end of the tests was pretty positive… such as those of Commander Manuel García de Consuegra, at the Morón Air Base: “The Bultaco Brinco is something completely different, highly suitable as a response unit for base patrol and surveillance.” “Personally, I would implement it in my city. I give it a 10,” said the representative of the Local Police in Utrera. Similar impressions were conveyed by the SEPRONA sergeant of the Civil Guard: “I found it versatile and dynamic. I think it has potential. In addition, it does not pollute, which is something essential for us.”
It all looked like fun – but on a battle field, I am guessing you wouldn’t really want to rely on battery power? However it does have pedals if all else fails, – this is Steve McQueen meets 2020!
