Russian President Vladimir Putin’s motorcade is set for the new escort motorcycle “The Aurus Escort electric motorcycle”, as per the latest reports. The motorcycle, called just 'Escort', will be the first vehicle to go fully-electric under the Aurus name. Other vehicles in the Aurus line-up include a limousine, a van, and an SUV. The state-backed luxury carmaker produces several special armoured variants of its vehicles for President Putin.
The Aurus Escort electric motorcycle is expected to make it to production only by 2022, and so far, only a few images have been released.
“Escort’ comes with a tall adjustable windshield and hard case panniers. No particular name or badge appears on the drawings of the motorcycle, and only the designation "Escort" is mentioned. So, it's pretty much likely to be an escorted motorcycle for the cavalcade of vehicles. The electric motor is good for 112 kW (150 bhp) with a top speed rated at 240 km/h.
The bulky touring motorcycle is housed in an aluminium frame, and the rear swing-arm also seems to be made from aluminium. The front end, with a central shock absorber, seems similar to BMW Motorrad's duolever front end. The riding position is expected to be comfortable with high and wide handlebars and a hollowed-out saddle for the rider.
