Ready for adventure in a new way; quick and silent. Ural motorcycle sidecars have an 80-year legacy of performance in severe circumstances. They are a very solid and reliable base for electrification.

Electrification

The 22KW (peak of 40 Kw) watercooled electromotor is powerfull and efficient. With a 26 Kwh batterypack ranges of 250+km can be reached. 300 Watt onboard power will support your cooler, tools , converters or coffee machine.

History

Ural motorcyle sidecar were created in the first half of the 20th century. Although altered and optimised over the last decades the general look and design is still based on that era. The Ural factory is located in Petropavlovsk, Kazakhstan. The electrification is done in Enschede, the Netherlands.
