On March 30, 2023, American electric off-road vehicle maker Volcon ePowersports officially launched two new bikes: the Grunt Evo, and the Runt LT. The Grunt Evo is, as the name suggests, an evolution of the company’s original off-road motorcycle, the Grunt, and it has a few updates to talk about. Meanwhile, the Runt LT is a low-speed electric off-road bike for smaller riders, which the firm has been teasing for some time—and is now finally here.
The Grunt Evo utilizes the same Exo-Arch frame, 8.5-kilowatt electric motor, and 2.3 kilowatt-hour battery as the previous version. Where the Grunt Evo differs is in its use of a new Gates Carbon Belt Drive system, the Moto X9. The belt drive helps up the stealth factor, making the bike even quieter (good for hunting, says Volcon), as well as requiring less maintenance than a chain.
