What Italian Volt does

Italian Volt is a privately-held Italian manufacturer of limited-edition premium electric motorcycles, operating as a brand under the Tazzari Group (parent entity: Tazzari GL Imola Spa). Founded around 2016 and headquartered in Imola within Italy's Motor Valley, the company designs, engineers, and assembles the LACAMA electric motorcycle family — consisting of the single-seater Monoposto, two-seater Biposto, and lower-spec Hyperlight variant — at its facility in Via Selice Provinciale. The company employs 11–50 people and sells directly from its Imola HQ, through an expanding global dealer network, and via an online configurator.

The LACAMA platform is built around proprietary technology inherited and co-developed with Tazzari EV: a 150 hp (110 kW) axial-flux PMSM electric motor producing 230 Nm of torque (774 Nm at the wheel) operating at 400V, paired with the Tazzari EV Fluid Battery System using NCA Samsung cells immersed in dielectric liquid for thermal conditioning. The motorcycle features a single-piece cast aluminum frame, carbon fiber belt transmission, premium Brembo brakes, Ohlins suspension, and Pirelli tires. Quantified performance is 0–100 km/h in 3.4 seconds, 230 km/h top speed, 257 km urban range, and 219 kg curb weight (197 kg for Hyperlight). The product is hyper-customizable — 22 paint colors, 20 eco-leather seat colors, modular single/two-seater bodywork — accessible through an online configurator.

Commercially, Italian Volt generates revenue almost entirely from hardware sales of the LACAMA at starting prices of €29,800 (Hyperlight) and €31,800 (standard), positioned for affluent motorcycle enthusiasts and electric-vehicle early adopters. Italian Ecobonus incentives of up to €4,000 are available. Distribution combines direct-to-consumer from the Imola HQ with test rides, an actively recruiting global dealer network, and online configuration. The company passed full homologation in April 2024 and began first deliveries shortly thereafter, marking the transition from development to commercial sales.
