Don’t be surprised if one day you find the Hades 1 Pure electric motorcycle in a museum of modern art because that’s where it belongs. Newly named Curtiss Motors (formerly Confederate Motorcycles) just showed off their latest stunning two-wheeled creation that begs to be ogled like the machined beauty it is. The wholly custom bike isn’t even painted but exposes bare metal sculpting to perfection with CNC machined aluminum, a huge torpedo battery pack, and a fork and swingarm that look like they were pulled off a sculpture in Asgard. The powerful powertrain delivers 217 horsepower to rocket the Hades 1 Pure silently to blistering speeds and with immediate torque delivery. The bike will go on sale in the Spring of 2020 for about the price of a Porsche 718 Cayman.
