The new Bultaco Jump it will weigh only 39 kg including the 9 kg battery and the price announced in Spain is 4.800 euros. The Brinco was one of three new electric prototypes unveiled by Bultaco last year, the other two, called Rapitan and Rapitan Sport, are more similar to conventional motorcycles with 54 HP. For now, no announcement has been made about when these two new models will go into production.
