great news. for the moto community along with the factory workers and Spanish brand motos in general.
That is great news! Hopefully this is the last chapter in this Spanish novela and they can get back to making bikes. And we can get back to riding those bikes.
I hope they reinvigorate the line, deal with the many issues on the bikes and roll out a superior product. I'm pulling for them to do well. More choices are good.
Strange that Torrot won. An electric bike company making gas powered bikes? Or will they convert the Gas Gas line into battery powered bikes?
they are contributors/backers to this foundation so they show their fossil fuel racing heart as well. http://www.marcosimoncellifondazione.it/
its all out there, they were and now are a small manufacturer of gasoline powered motorbikes. http://torrotelectric.com/en/torrot/mini-history-of-torrot
I don't see any present day gas engine powered bikes. Thats OK, their electrics are cool. I wouldn't mind one.
no kidding they are now making- meaning Gas Gas and were making- meaning their motopeds and mini motos in the past. Its a classic Spanish name revived like SWM for example.
More good news from Torrot this time: http://www.enduropro.com/actualidad/torrot-nueva-propietaria-de-gas-gas
GasGas builds (built?) the only electric adult-sized trials bike (that I know of). So the fit is a good one in terms of tech as well.
