First of all, thank you for buying a Bultaco. We are proud to have
your confidence. The new Brinco is a new and groundbreaking
concept, the Moto- Bike that you will enjoy in a way you have
never dreamed of before.
For Bultaco innovation is not only to reach new technological
goals, but also to oer new experiences. And Brinco is
something completely new and ground-breaking; it is the result
of the wanting to transport the Bultaco spirit to a new era, with
a new language, whilst always being true to the classic brand
values: passion, innovation, competition.
With Brinco, Bultaco proposes a whole new way to understand
and live the two wheels. A striking combination between the
worlds of the motorcycle and the bicycle: electric propulsion
and the physical experience of pedaling, independently, or by
combining the two systems. You decide at every moment how
to maximise the perfect symbiosis between the handlebar and
the pedals.
Whether for short or medium distances, the Brinco is above all
a friend like no other, for fun, games and for getting away from
it all. Because Bultaco Brinco will take you where you want,
where your heart desires, further and faster than where your
legs alone would be able to go.
Welcome
bultaquista
