Agility Saietta – an unconvential electric

This is the Agility Saietta, while it looks like something out of a sci-fi flick, it is actually the newest electric motorcycle to appear on the green scene, and while it was designed in the UK by Agility Global, it carrys a very Italian name “Saietta” which means thunderbolt.

Debuting at the MCN London Motorcycle Show, the Saietta is the next generation of urban sports bikes and will come in two versions, the ‘S’ and the ‘R’ which use the air-cooled DC Agni motor.

The ‘S’ is the base version and weighs 400lbs with 135hp and has a 50 mile range and a price tag of £9,975 ($16,090), while the more performing ‘R’ version features a 169hp motor and has a range of 100 miles and carries a much heftier price tag, £13,975 ($22,540) and will be available starting from April 2011.
