When your company has been (for the most part) on hiatus since 1983, you might want to make a splash with your comeback. That’s what Barcelona-based Bultaco is planning to do next year. The first two bikes announced for the relaunch of the company are the Rapitán and the Rapitán Sport. Both feature a brushless electric motor with a lithium-ion battery and use the area where a gas tank would have been to let you store your helmet. You’ll get just under 90 miles on a fully-charged battery which takes about 3-5 hours to charge up. The bike can hit speeds of up to 90 mph and the electric motor delivers 54 horsepower and 92 pound-feet of torque. Not super practical if you live in the middle of cow fields, but perfect for getting around the streets of Madrid.

Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
