10 Reasons to Buy The Grunt

  • The leading electric motorcycle is built with a proprietary exo-arch frame that holds well against rain, wind, and impacts. Plus, it's corrosion-resistant so it lasts long.
  • The Grunt features hydraulic disc brakes that improves the stopping power of the electric motorcycle and allow the rider to control the speed during turns.
  • The electric motorcycle comes with an electric drive that intuitively steers the bike along with the rider's movement, removing the need for a gear and a clutch.
  • The wheels of the Grunt are 8 inches thick and they stabilize the heavy-duty vehicle on off-road terrain.
  • To complement the wheels, the Grunt is equipped with an inverted fork suspension in the front and a hydraulic one at the rear. Together, it absorbs the bumps on the trail so every ride is smooth.
  • The Grunt powers up to a range of 75 miles and accelerates at a top speed of 40 mph on a single charge. Riders can reach their destination faster and travel long distances with ease.
  • The electric motorcycle is fitted with a high torque motor that balances the speed and energy expenditure, while providing riders the thrill they seek.
  • The Grunt has three ride modes and a reverse option that functions with a touch of a button, so riders can enjoy their ride more and worry less about maneuvering the motorcycle around pebbles.
  • The electric motorcycle connects to the company app to display speed, battery life, adjust ride modes, offer navigational protocols, and stream music via a smartphone connection. 
  • The batteries of the Grunt can be swapped to enjoy extra charge on a long distance ride and a spare can be fitted to double the range of the electric motorcycle.

3 Reasons Not to Buy The Grunt

  • The Grunt weighs 330 lbs, including the power supply. The weight makes steep uphill climbs a bit difficult.
  • The seat of the electric motorcycle is situated lower than standard and it may cause knee strain in long-legged riders.
  • The $7,995 electric motorcycle comes with a one year warranty for damages and a two year warranty for the battery, which seems insufficient for the high price tag.

CNET

I'm a nervous and inexperienced off-road rider, so I definitely didn't test the limits of the bike, but its stability and design went a long way towards making me feel comfortable enough to ride it without being afraid I'd fall into a cactus or a rattlesnake den on a Texas horse ranch.

The Volcon Grunt isn’t your typical motorcycle. Instead of a conventional dirt bike like most off-road e-motos, the Grunt is a fat tire electric motorcycle designed for off-road riding.
