http://www.hybridcars.com/e-wazuma-electric-quad-not-for-the-faint-hearted/ E-Wazuma Electric Quad Not For The Faint-Hearted July 6, 2016 Larry E. Hall It doesn’t take much to figure out that “e” prefix before Wazuma stands for electric vehicle. And in this case, the “e” produces 361 pounds-feet of torque, which should send chills down your spine since the torque is produced right off idle. Your first impression of the E-Wazuma might be “extreme,” “insane,” “dangerous,” or even “ridiculous” until you know it is the creation of the boutique carmaker Lazareth, which is located in a French village just outside Geneva Switzerland. Lazareth is perhaps best known for another four-wheel bike, the 470 horsepower Maserati V8 powered LM 847 quad. The monstrous Maserati motorcycle differs from the E-Wazuma by pairing the wheels closer together to provide a conventional two-wheeled riding experience in a machine with enough rubber on the road to handle the V8’s output. Developed in conjunction with the French company NTN-SNR, the E-Wazuma has a 40 horsepower electric motor tucked inside each of its rear wheels and is fitted with torque vectoring. Eighty horsepower may not sound like much, but that 361 torque number is 52 more than the new turbocharged 2017 Porsche Boxster S. Lazareth describes the E-Wazuma’s acceleration as “remarkable,” but we think the first millimeters of throttle grip twist will likely produce a feeling akin to riding an Elon Musk SpaceX rocket. The E-Wazuma excites the imagination and changes the conventional perception about what an electric vehicle could do or look like. For now, this electric four-wheeler is just a prototype, but Lazareth says the company can easily build a version, which can travel on the road. There is no news about pricing or a production date.

In a French village outside Geneva, Switzerland, boutique carmaker Lazareth is pioneering new ways to blow minds with unorthodox electric hot-rods like this battery-powered quad bike concept it calls the E-Wazuma. Weirdo name be damned, the E-Wazuma has a 40-horsepower electric motor tucked inside each of its rear wheels. A horsepower total of 80 might not scare away the timid, but consider the bike's formidable torque: a stunning 361 lb.-ft.. which is 52 more than the new turbocharged 2017 Porsche Boxster S. The company describes the E-Wazuma's acceleration as "remarkable," but we think it would be remarkable to not wheelie the thing over backwards with so much grunt. If Lazareth sounds familiar, it is because it is the same company that rocked the Geneva Motor Show with the debut of its monstrous Maserati V8-powered LM-847 motorcycle. That bike also has four wheels, but they're paired closely together to provide a conventional two-wheeled riding experience in a machine with enough rubber on the road to handle the V8's output. The big question is, what will Lazareth unleash on us next? [© 2016 Maxim Media] http://www.extravaganzi.com/extreme-lazareth-e-wazuma-bike/ Extreme Lazareth E-Wazuma Bike April 7, 2016 Michoni About a month ago, we introduced the creation of Ludovic Lazareth, a quad-bike with a Maserati engine that delivers 470 HP. Now we bring you something equally crazy from this company, a machine that bears the name E-Wazuma. No need to be an expert to realize that the prefix “E” means that it is an electric vehicle. What makes Lazareth E-Wazuma extreme and crazy is the fact that it brings even 490 Nm of torque. Since this is a vehicle on electricity, it promises an incredible experience, like driving a rocket, because the electrical machines the maximum torque can reach almost in the moment. E-Wazuma is powered by two electric engines of 30 kW, which total of 80 HP is sent to the rear wheels. For now, it is only a prototype, but its creator says that production version could soon be over.
