Bolt M-1

But how is the experience when you go uphill? Even when going uphill you experience the same silence of the engine. Truly speaking, you have the same experience on any road while riding a Bolt. You just do not have any clutches to slip or gears to shift while experiencing a quiet noiseless journey. This smooth, silent and simple biking experience is another reason to ride a Bolt.
