The first day of the biennial fair was highlighted by new scooter designs and features, iconic American motorcycle brand Indian’s entry into the Brazilian market and a new line of electric motor bikes manufactured by Sao Paulo-based start-up Bull. Looking to challenge the traditional brands that dominate Brazil’s market, Bull unveiled a line of 100 percent electric vehicles targeted at a “new audience.” “Motorcycles today are no longer a product for ‘motoboys’ (motorcycle couriers) or for executives looking to take to the roads on weekends. Motor bikes are sold today for all different social classes and uses,” Bull executive Rubens Paulo Guimaraes told EFE. “Electric motorcycles have been well received by a segment of the market that wants to use the vehicle for short distances and have a reduced environmental impact,” he added. Unlike electric cars, Bull’s motorbikes are cost-competitive because their main batteries are priced less than those of gasoline-fueled engines.
