Bultaco

The Barber Museum Auction held last weekend saw some remarkable motorcycles cross the auction block, some with great celebrity and movie provenance. The results were puzzling, and raise some interesting questions about celebrity provenance, whether it always applies, and whether it wears off.

Spanish motorcycle veteran Bultaco announced a return to manufacture in 2014, after more than a dozen years of silence. A cross between an electric motorcycle and a mountain bike called the Brinco R was first off the production line, which has now been redesigned for city life as the Albero.

Bultaco has dramatically widened the appeal of its electric Brinco with three new models, all of them road legal. We took to London's streets on the Brinco S during the world launch held just a stone's throw from Tower Bridge.

Last year, Spanish motorcycle marque Bultaco rose from the ashes to present an all-new motorcyc...er .. electric mountain bike. It still isn't ready to announce a legit production electric motorcycle, but it's moving one step closer, bringing the Brinco onto the street (legally).

Two auctions at the extremities of the world on consecutive days last weekend highlight the importance of the internet in the modern elite auction process.

Spanish motorcycle manufacturer Bultaco has shrunk its electric powertrain technology down and put it to asphalt and dirt in the form of a full-throttle electric-assist mountain bike: the Brinco e-bike.

After lying dormant for the last 13 years, Spain’s most storied motorcycle brand is being re-launched in 2015 as a specialist electric motorcycle manufacturer. Check out the two prototypes that point the way forward – the very sexy Rapitan and Rapitan Sport.
