Electric Adoption



By 2050, 80% of transportation will be electric. While this shift is inevitable, many motorcycle enthusiasts see it as a loss, believing that electrification kills the soul of a motorcycle.

Muninn challenges this perception by rejecting the trend of making electric motorcycles smaller, more compact, and toy-like. Instead, it houses a high-performance electric engine encased in a steel frame, preserving the aggressive stance and visceral experience that riders crave.
