Brazilian startup develops electric motorcycle with anti-theft technology that promises to revolutionize the market. Model can reach 150 km/h and delivers a range of 100 km.
With more than two decades of experience and passion for the world of motorcycles, Silvio Rotilli Filho, Brazilian and motorcycle enthusiast, motorcycles, had been wondering about the discrepancy between technological and safety developments in cars compared to motorcycles, which seemed to have stagnated over time. Holding a Ph.D. in electrical engineering, Rotilli decided to take the initiative and dedicate his efforts to developing an innovative anti-theft technology, seeking to provide motorcyclists with an effective solution to protect their vehicles, check out the details of the safest electric motorcycle in the world.
Brazilian engineer's startup develops electric motorcycle prototypes
Rotilli created the startup Auper, alongside three other colleagues. The company, based in Canada, took on the challenge of launching InCity, the The world's most advanced electric motorcycle with anti-theft technology. Although the project is little known, it is not an initiative in the early stages.
Auper has already developed the InCity prototype, an electric motorcycle that can reach 150 km/h and go from 0 to 100 km/h in around 6 seconds. The model is not just an idea on paper, it already exists in fact.

Now the Brazilian startup is looking for investors to set up its factory, which should be located in Rio de Janeiro (RJ). In July, the startup signed an agreement with the city hall to establish an industrial unit and technological center that should generate 750 jobs.
The main point of the electric motorcycle with anti-theft technology is an architecture centered on a vehicle control unit, which concentrates all the motorcycle's functions. It is a different concept from what is delivered on the market, consisting of several separate systems and equipment.
According to the brand, instead of several scattered systems controlling different parts of the electric motorcycle, everything is integrated into one main computer, streamlining operations and decision-making. This can drastically reduce costs while improving user experience.
Understand how the electric motorcycle’s anti-theft system works
A tech it can be quickly updated, making the electric motorcycle always a vehicle with modern features. On his social media profile, Silvio highlights another difference of the company, the long-term planning so that the product is commercially viable. A Auper It is not only designed to offer the most advanced features, but it also designs your success.
Supply chain vulnerabilities were minimized, manufacturing costs were simplified, and engineers meticulously designed to meet the demands of their demographic.
The new electric motorcycle also has an advance to reduce a major obstacle in the motorcycle market, the theft and sale of parts in irregular markets. According to the company, all motorcycle components are encrypted, preventing their use on other units.
Electric motorcycle will be sold for R$ 18 thousand
The electric motor of the vehicle with anti-theft system is supplied by Enedym and has a concept without permanent magnets. Power is supplied by a 4,8 kWh lithium-ion battery with a range of approximately 100 km.
There are disc brakes with ABS on the wheels, traction and stability control offered as standard on all models. The digital instrument screen, called IIC, adapts to the driving situation.
When moving, the electric motorcycle only shows critical information such as speed and remaining energy charge. During stops, traffic data and performance history are shown in real time.
It is not yet clear when Incity will arrive in stores, a long way to go until a sales and support network is formed beyond the model's own production. However, Auper plans to offer its electric motorcycle at attractive prices in the range of R$18.
