The Morlaco was a project we carried out in our spare time, and in fact, as you know, it took us 20 years to finish the first prototype of this bike built around a Honda CBR954 engine. A few weeks ago, we started working on the second version of the Morlaco (internally we call it […]

When we competed in Pikes Peak in 2017, we realized our biggest rivals were the KTM Superdukes, particularly in terms of power. A slightly modified KTM Superduke could exceed 180 HP, while our XR1R was at 150 HP. This significant power difference led us to consider a new approach. We thought about using a KTM

Rémy Roland is a French Industrial Design student that one year ago spent some months at Bottpower doing an internship. We thought that it would be fun to design a Bottpower concept model and because at that time we were already fully immersed in the Pikes Peak Project, finally we both (Rémy and me) decided

We start 2016 with a new project, a more racing version of the BOTT XR1, which will be named BOTT XR1R and will be intended to be used exclusively on the track. We will use this bike to test and develop several components like the titanium frame, the new electronics or a new swingarm. The

On our free time we keep playing with our new cafe racer (we already have 2 units almost finished). Here you can see some renders made to test how it would look with a classic fairing. What do you think? Do you prefer it with or without the fairing?

The cafe racer version 3 that we published recently, had a special fork, classic wire wheels and Brembo brakes. We received some comments, through Facebook and other websites, that were wondering how the bike would look with the original Buell rims, brakes and fork. Here you have some new renders showing it. I used these

When we published the first renders of our cafe racer, we mentioned that we were working on several designs. This is one of those versions. The truth is that we make most of these designs just for fun. As you know, in Bottpower, Ducth designer Hugo van Waaijen takes care of the industrial design and

When we start working on the design and building of a commissioned bike, as is the case with our Cafe Racer (by the moment we name it BOTT XC1), once we have clear what kind of bike we want to build, next step is to choose which components we are going to use. Both things,
