Named Ciulator, the electric bike mixes the aesthetics of classic motorcycles from the 1950s with current engineering and is born as a niche piece for enthusiasts and collectors. In the track version, it boasts 34 hp, 350 Nm, 240 km/h, and a 72 V 150 Ah battery, with approximately 150 km of range.
The electric bike presented by a startup from South Korea appeared as one of those products made to attract attention through contrast: retro visual from decades past with the promise of sports motorcycle performance. Displayed at CES 2026, it gained instant fame by announcing a top speed of 240 km/h and targeting a very specific audience, people willing to pay a car price.
The project is named Ciulator, and the proposal does not aim to be “popular.” The electric bike enters the market as a niche product, combining artistic design, engineering, and performance into a piece aimed at enthusiasts and, primarily, collectors looking for something rare, different, and made with high-quality materials.
Ciulator at CES 2026: Retro on the Outside, Sports Ambition on the Inside
The Ciulator was showcased with a style inspired by classic motorcycles from the 1950s, but with current technology underneath the exterior.

Jaecoo 7 with super hybrid SHS system exceeds 1,200 km of combined range with a 1.5 turbo engine, high-density battery, and intelligent energy management.
The appeal is precisely that: to maintain the “old-fashioned” look as a signature while the technical specifications attempt to occupy sports territory.
The showcase at CES 2026 helped reinforce the positioning of luxury and exclusivity. This is not a motorcycle made to compete in volume.
It is an electric bike designed to be desired by collectors, those who discuss engineering, and who buy for the combination of history, aesthetics, and numbers.
Two Versions: Standard for the Street and Track Version for Maximum Performance
The electric bike Ciulator was presented in two distinctly separated configurations.
In the track version, the project announces an electric motor of 34 hp with a torque of 350 Nm. It is this configuration that supports the more aggressive promise: a top speed of 240 km/h. To power the setup, the specified battery is 72 V and 150 Ah, with a range of about 150 km per charge.
The standard version, on the other hand, reduces the focus on performance: it offers 10 hp, a top speed of 150 km/h, and a range of approximately 130 km, using a smaller battery.
The idea is that both versions cater to distinct profiles within the same niche, maintaining the retro look as a central identity.
Battery with a “Motor” Look and Premium Materials in the Project
The project of the electric bike has been described as premium from start to finish.
The frame uses Reynolds 953 steel and the bodywork is made of carbon fiber, a combination that aligns with the proposal of a special piece and high-quality engineering.
The total weight hovers around 140 kg, a number disclosed along with the materials package.
To preserve the style, the battery was designed to resemble a combustion engine, a detail that seeks to maintain the classic illusion even in an electric motorcycle.
The finishing touches include a seat made of Cordovan leather, another element of elevated standard that reinforces the intention of luxury. The Ciulator aims to be looked at closely, not just ridden.
Car Price and Restricted Sales: Targeting Collectors
The price follows the narrative: around US$ 50,000, equivalent to approximately R$ 250,000 in direct conversion.
This is the kind of value that pushes the Ciulator into the realm of collectible items, attracting an audience that buys exclusivity, aesthetics, and specifications.
The company also offers another model, the Dandelion, for around US$ 5,700 (approximately R$ 28,000).
Even so, the message is clear: the motorcycles are sold only in South Korea and target those looking for differentiated design in the electric bike segment, not necessarily those seeking cost-effectiveness.
