Curtiss Zeus Concept
Alabama's Curtiss Motorcycles previously high-end custom
V-twin maker Confederate Motors announced last year that it
would kickstart a new "golden age of American motorcycling" by
making only electric bikes going forward.
At the 2018 Quail Motorcycle Gathering in Carmel, Curtiss Motorcycles
unveiled this powerful concept called the Zeus.
It has two high-output electric motors, estimating to produce 170 hp (127 kW)
and 290 lb.ft (393 Nm) of torque.
Curtiss says that its founder, Glenn Curtiss, invented the v-twin motorcycle in
1903.
"Zeus introduces a fresh, all-new design DNA that will define every Curtiss
motorcycle moving forward," said the company's Design Director Jordan Cornille.
"This minimalist, pure, organic brand language has been carefully developed over
the last several years, and foreshadows an entire family of Curtiss products to
come."
"The all-mighty Zeus is the first concept prototype in a full range of hot
rod gods to come," echoed Curtiss CEO Matt Chambers.
The Zeus concept was declared "Most Innovative Motorcycle" at the 2018 Quail
gathering.
