Johammer J1: motorcycle of the future that doubles as battery storage for homes
Washington
THERE is no thrum of a Ducati or familiar rumble that made Harley Davidson famous. Only a whine from the electric motor that increases linearly as you rush for the horizon.
This is the Johammer J1 , a cruiser like no other. Designed and built in a small Austrian factory near the Czech border, the distinctive shape has been likened to a giant peanut, a pre-war Junkers airplane or even a medieval jousting steed. The outrageous design seems more at home in the living room than the garage."This is a natural return to the concept of the horse, before there was noise and pollution from engines," says Johann Hammerschmid, founder of Johammer e-mobility GmbH.
