First of all, thank you for buying a Brinco. We are proud to have
your confidence. The new Brinco is a new, reaching and oering
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; it is the result of wanting to transport the
Bultaco spirit to a new era, with a new language, whilst always
being loyal 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.
The Welcome Kit of your new Brinco contains the items listed
below:
