the unique form of the katalis EV.1000 the arsenale special edition combines nostalgic, functional design with modern sustainable technologies. made from a new form of aluminum – series 6061 – the geometric body is characterized by dominant black matte color wrapped with an orange striped pattern. this was derived – and matches – the french gallery’s corporate identity. the retro design of the instrument panel matches that of the predecessor, whilst a new electronic dashboard has been added, which measures speed, rider position and system performance in real time.

the electric motorcycle aims to show the way for two-wheelers in indonesia and further afield. it runs on a 1000 watt-capacity motor supported by a 48V 45Ah battery. this helps it accelerate to a top speed between 43-50 mph (70-80 kph) and offers a range of 56 miles (90km) per charge.
