Real Motors Project ARES Electric Café Racer
Real Motors built Project ARES with engineering talent pulled from two of the biggest names in electric motorcycles: Vance Strader, a former Harley-Davidson chief engineer credited on several of the brand's own patents, and Circle Engineering, a team formerly operating as Energica, the Italian manufacturer that's supplied every bike in the MotoE World Cup for years. The café racer makes 100 horsepower and roughly 738 pound-feet of torque at the rear wheel, reaching a claimed 120 mph while weighing an estimated 485 pounds. Real Motors frames the whole project less as a product and more as a study in how a rider connects with a machine, building the bike's responses to feel deliberately mechanical and imperfect rather than instant and digital. It's limited to 250 units for this first production run, with North American deliveries beginning in early 2027 and European and Gulf deliveries following once local homologation is complete.
