Russian gun manufacturer Kalashnikov, most famous for its AK-47 assault rife, is continuing its work in the electric motorcycle field.
Kalashnikov’s subsidiary Izh introduced a pair of electric adventure bikes in the motherland last year, and has just introduced a pure electric cafe racer concept.
And, as a surprise to some, it doesn’t look half bad.
With the typical cafe racer themes, like low-mounted clip-on handlebars, a short seat and rear subframe, spoked wheels and matte paint, it certainly looks the part.
More importantly though, it features a lithium-ion battery and electric motor to produce 50kW and offer a riding range of roughly 96 kilometres.
As expected, there are no plans for the bike to arrive in Australia.
