The Volta 102 is not your typical motorcycle. But James Hammarhead is not your typical motorcycle builder.

And, in one case, a cord.
The Volta 102 that Hammarhead built in just three months is one in a growing field of electric street bikes but the first to go retro.

The old-school aesthetic follows Hammarhead Industries’ mission statement, which comes down to “keep it simple, stupid.” Hammarhead isn’t interested in fuel injection or ABS or carbon fiber components. His love affair with minimalism was cemented riding a Royal Enfield through India. The bike was elemental and irresistable.
