The new fully electric VMoto Stash motorcycle will arrive in Europe.

Maybe you are familiar with Super Soco, a manufacturer of low-displacement electric scooters and motorcycles, but the company recently rebranded to VMoto in an attempt to attract a broader audience in the electric mobility space. Along with this rebranding, the Stash emerged, an electric motorcycle with performance levels similar to a 150 cc gasoline machine. And although the VMoto Stash was first presented to the public at EICMA 2021, it was only a concept. But now, it seems that VMoto is gearing up to launch the production version of the motorcycle. Designed by Adrian Morton, the Stash has an appealing design, as Morton was responsible for the styling of the Benelli Tornado TRE and MV Agusta F4 models. Clearly, some of those aerodynamic and sporty lines are carried over to the Stash, as it is enveloped in an aerodynamic fairing that gives it a sense of size. The sleek angular design makes the motorcycle look completely futuristic and extends from the front fairing to the cut-off rear section.

In the heart of the Stash is an electric motor mounted in the middle that delivers 8 kW (about 10.7 horsepower). In “boost” mode, the maximum power increases to 15 kW (20.1 horsepower), making it as powerful as a 150 cc gasoline motorcycle. It is important to note that in Europe, the market where this motorcycle is ready to shine, it complies with A1 license regulations, as its nominal power is below the 15 hp limit required by law.

Although the Stash may look sporty, it hides some quite impressive practical features beneath the surface. The fake fuel tank is a storage compartment large enough to accommodate a full-face helmet, and the battery is located underneath and is a 72-volt, 100 amp-hour unit that promises a range of 149.9 km on a single charge.

Supported by an inverted front fork and a mono-shock with adjustable preload, the Stash seems capable of relaxed two-up riding, and with front and rear disc brakes with ABS, which are also linked through a combined braking system (CBS), similar to that of a scooter.

Currently, the landscape of electric motorcycles is dominated by low-displacement scooters and by riders whose only goal in life is to transport their users from A to B. Motorcycles like the Stash cater to the enthusiast market; to people looking for a little more than just utility and functionality.
