Walt Siegl Electric PACT

.  

Custom builder Walt Siegl collaborated with Mike Mayberry of Ronin Motoworks on the PACT, an innovative and exceptional-looking electric motorcycle.


They used an Alta Redshift drivetrain as the donor for its battery pack as well as sophisticated hardware and software.  The PACT produces 50 hp and the 5.8-kWh battery can be recharged in three hours.

 

Due to the extensive use of forged carbon fiber for the subframe and bodywork, the bike has a total weight of just 251lbs/114kg.

According to Walt Siegl: "The key performance decisions: It had to be as light as possible, but stand up to rigorous use. It had to have precise handling and the correct ergonomics for optimum performance. We changed the dirt bike geometries by designing our own chrome moly frame, so Ohlins road bike forks could be used. We designed a structural carbon fiber subframe and carbon fiber bodywork. For the prototype standard woven carbon fiber sheets were used.

 

In addition to the carbon fiber bodywork and frame, we also designed and produced triple trees, taillight, wheels, foot controls, and a new swing arm that helps achieve the geometries and handling that we were after."
