Swiss Electric Motorcycle manufacturer launches US operations
Quantaya USA Press Release - Nov 8, 2008

 

“We are extremely proud to be able to bring our innovation to the United States and contribute even on a small scale to save our planet from global warming,” says Claudio Dick, CEO and founder of Quantya SA, Switzerland.

 

Former World Champion Snowboarder Chris Karol Offers Electric Motorcycles to the Masses.

Shredelectric (http://www.shredelectric.com), an action sports retailer dedicated to fun, innovative outdoor equipment, and training, will be the first dealership in a national network of retailers for their eco-conscious, electric motorcycle. With growing public concern over global warming and fuel costs, electric vehicles have become increasingly popular.

 

 

Shredelectric currently offers two of the three bikes which Quantya manufactures. The "Strada"  (pictured above), which is a Dual Sport and street legal model, retails for under $11,000 and is designed for the urban professional who likes to get his boots dirty on the weekend. The motocross inspired "Track", appeals to the race enthusiast who loves power and speed, and sells for less than $9,999. In addition to offering a full line of accessories, tours and training, Shredelectric will provide a full-service maintenance center to address any potential warranty and parts needs.

                                      

 

Relying on their determination of providing Swiss ingenuity and pride in craftsmanship, all Quantya motorcycles are EC certified and warranted for 2 years.

 

Quantya FMX Motorcycles use advanced Lithium Polymer Batter technology with proprietary electronics to power its 14KW motor with a 47V or 74V battery. A typical fully charged battery will launch the FMX to 40+ mph (governed) and give it a range of up to 2.5 hours.

 

“We are seeing many new exciting technologies emerging and we will continue to utilize only the latest such technologies to deliver the absolute best quality and efficiency to our customers”, says Dario Trentini CEO Quantya USA.

 

Quantya SA is already a huge success in Europe where riders can go to local “Quantya Parks” and enjoy the thrill of these electric motorcycles on a rental basis.

 

With the tightening regulations concerning noise and emissions, motocross riders are given new possibilities to ride their favorite trails without disturbing or polluting the environment.
