Volcon’s dynamic duo Grunt EVO and the Runt LT broke cover on March 30th. The latest edition of the Company’s original all electric off-road motorcycle using Volcon’s Exo-Arch frame and fat-tired design is called the “Grunt Founders Edition” (FE) internally, while externally the EVO FE streamlines design and incorporates improvements based on Grunt consumer feedback. Featuring the same 60V power system and IP67 rating, making it water, sand, and snow proof, overall weight has been reduced by nearly 20%.
“Nothing compares to the fun of bonding with your family in the great outdoors, so to offer a line of products that make that achievable for all kinds of families, regardless of their level of motorcycle experience, is fulfilling, personally and professionally,” said Melissa Coffey, Volcon VP of Global Revenue and Business Development. “Giving everyone in the family an option for low maintenance, easy-to-ride, fun is the catalyst for empowering adventure, especially with financing options through our incredible dealership network,” Coffey continued.
To that end, the long-anticipated Runt LT — the downsized, abridged version of the Grunt — will be making its debut to powersports dealerships this spring. The Runt’s low 27-inch seat height makes it a great option for the smaller stature or as a pit bike. Unlike its predecessor, the Runt LT features an in-wheel hub motor, giving riders higher torque and increased control of vehicle dynamics. The Runt LT reaches speeds of up to 35 mph with 25 miles of range on a single battery charge. Inverted forks, pivotless adjustable rear shock, and hydraulic disc brakes give it one of the smoothest rides of any off-road motorcycle in its class.
As with the EVO, the Runt LT has three ride modes displayed on its large LCD display screen. The Runt will come in Del Rio Red and Desert Dune colorways and only weighs 147 lbs. The Runt LT completes a two-wheel, family-focused product suite, aligning with the Company's core values of promoting time spent outdoors for everyone.
Volcon aims to widen their customer base with these new editions, targeting outdoor enthusiasts, traditional powersports families, wildlife conservation groups and other audiences needing silent, rugged vehicles with exceptional all-terrain capabilities. Volcon is scheduled to ship the EVO and Runt LT to dealers in Q2 of this year.
