Opting for these electric motorcycles allows you to ride in silence and with a clear conscience, as they are environmentally friendly.

Plus, recharging them is a breeze - simply use any AC outlet or European public charging station (type 2). And when it comes to maintenance, the electric motor and battery require little to no upkeep compared to traditional motorcycles, saving you money in the long run. The S222 boasts an engine that was created and built entirely within the Olivier Motor CO workshops.

This type of motor is synchronous and features internal permanent magnets, and it also has a water cooling system around the stator. The motor's aluminum casing, crafted from a solid block of material, ensures durability, accuracy, and lightness.

With a maximum power output of 35 kW, and a nominal power output of 11 kW, this set is capable of producing a great amount of energy. Its engine can generate up to 89 Nm of torque, resulting in a 1170 Nm of torque at the wheel.

When driven to its limit, the S222 model can reach speeds of up to 139 km/h. Both models also include a 5-speed manual transmission and a multi-disc oil bath clutch. An advanced energy recovery system allows for the motorcycle's batteries to recharge while decelerating or braking, providing the rider with strong engine braking similar to that of a 4-stroke thermal motorcycle when downshifting.
