Sustainable electric motorcycle made with recycled plastic from the oceans is equipped with a 14 kW motor and can reach 97 km/h

The Zapp i300 sustainable electric motorcycle comes with two batteries that give it a range of up to 60 km with just one recharge

Despite being presented to the public for the first time during the summer of 2017, its creative lines have already won design awards. A Zapp, a company based in the United Kingdom, presented one of its first products, a sustainable electric motorcycle called i300, which combines speed with simple charging.

O zapp i300 received the “Excellent Product Form” award from the German Design Awards 2023 in the motorcycle category. This was due in part to the unique design of its frame, which was shaped like a Z.

The i300 is a sustainable urban electric motorcycle that was designed by a group of experts from the automotive and motorcycle industry to deliver performance that can outperform internal combustion engine powered models. 

The vehicle is equipped with a electric motor with a maximum output of 14 kilowatts (19 horsepower), allowing it to reach the limited top speed of 97 kilometers per hour in just 4,8 seconds.

The first electric motorcycle Zapp created, the i300 weighs just 92 kg and is made entirely of lightweight metals, with some components made from carbon. It is also possible to buy a variant that contains recycled plastic components from the oceans. It is worth mentioning that the mentioned weight does not take into account the two batteries that equip the sustainable electric motorcycle.

The fact that each of the batteries weighs six kilos and has a convenient handle allows you to remove them and charge them at a regular outlet without much difficulty. They are able to recover between 20 and 80 percent of their lost energy in less than 40 minutes.

Regarding its level of independence, the Zapp i300 sustainable electric motorcycle is capable of covering a distance of up to 60 kilometers without needing to be recharged, which is considered good autonomy.

Zapp offers a wide variety of customization possibilities for potential customers of the new i300 electric motorcycle. These alternatives include various colors for the front panel and seat, as well as a variety of accessories. As a result, there are very few instances where two motorcycles are identical.

Prices for the i300 start at £5.750 when purchased online from the Zapp website. This value corresponds to the version partially built with recycled plastic produced from garbage collected at sea.
