First Exhaust System Specifically for the Electric Bike

Electric bikes are great but they lack one thing: that spine-tingling noise from the exhaust. Now famed exhaust manufacturer Akrapovic has come up with the Akrapovolt system to give some oomph to your Energica, Zero or Livewire

Akrapovolt Electric Exhaust

You love your electric Zero, Energica or Livewire but you really miss the scream or rumble of your four-cylinder sports bike or v-twin cruiser's exhaust note.

Well, now sportsbikeshop.co.uk has the answer! Introducing the Akrapovolt (TM) electric bike exhaust.

According to the listing on this UK-based online accessory store's website, the Akrapovolt exhaust will enhance your electric bike riding experience.

There is some seriously inventive technology at play here. According to the website, "One of the most prestigious and respected names in automotive performance exhaust systems has now branched out to embrace the electric future. Akrapovolt benefits from the knowledge accumulated over more than 30 years of crafting high quality exhausts designed to extract maximum performance from internal combustion engines, and applies the same principles to electric motors. Akrapovolt's unique production methods include the use of low-carbon fibre, a strong and lightweight material created using the carbon dioxide emitted by other vehicles' exhausts, as well as green titanium, an organic metal painstakingly grown in the foothills of the Prima Aprilis mountain range in Poland."

Impressive stuff. Ever since the motorcycle was invented, owners have enhanced their motorcycles by fitting alternative or after-market exhaust systems and, since 1990, Akrapovic has been the leading supplier of exhaust systems for the world's greatest motorcycles.

However, with the advent of the electric bike, Akrapovic can see the disappearance of its market so has worked hard to adapt to the new technology. The result is the Akrapovolt.

The unique Akrapovolt smartphone app allows the rider to choose from multiple sound profiles, from two-stroke to v-twin, v-four and many other engine configuration sounds.
