To overcome the crisis in the motorcycle market while saving the planet, the guys at Ecoblog.it have suggested this ElectroCat custom built electric motorcycle as an environmentally friendly motorcycle when anti-pollution laws are on everyone’s minds.

The ElectroCat was designed by Eva Håkansson on the base of a Cagiva Freccia C12R from 1990. It has an electric engine that runs off lithium phosphate batteries that weigh 50 kg. The bike has a range of about 80km and a top speed of 100 km/hr.

Eva is currently doing battle with the Swedish bureaucracy to get the bike recognised as an ecological vehicle. We can only admire people and manufacturers who are putting their efforts into these projects in the face of climate change.

This is the first part of a video made by Key Frame on the story of the Vun, a peculiar bike created by CR&S (Cafe’ Racers & Superbikes), founded by Roberto Crepaldi in 1992.

We saw CR&S at the Eicma Milan show with some impressive bikes, and this is another which impresses for the maniacal attention with which it is produced. The originality of the Vun can be found in the Milanese dialect sticker on the bike and if you thought Italians were all about chaos and hotch-potch working style, the CR&S Vun will change your mind.

Thanks to Roberto Crepaldi who put us in contact with Raffaele Canepa from Key Frame, to get us this video story of the Vun. We also recognise all the guys who worked on the making of the video.

CR&S, acronym for Cafe, Racers & Superbikes, is a Milanese company founded in 1992 by Roberto Crepaldi. It made an appearance at the Milan Eicma show recently with some of its works of art - hand-made motorcycles, each built individually like the Vun, for example.

The bikes are well known for their originality and the logo adorning the CR&S stand was spelled out in Milanese dialect: “Fada sù a Milan cont il coeur e cont i man” - made in Milan with the heart and with the hands.

On the tank of your CR&S you will also find an amusing sticker saying “before use, please study the instruction manual” (”prima de duprala vedd de studiaa ben el librett de’ instruzion”). Below we give you some shots of their work and the models from the Eicma show.
