In the hustle and bustle of the city, where technology meets nostalgia, Real Motors presents Project ARES, an electric cafe racer that promises a return to the essential - the authentic feeling of driving. Modern yet classic, Project ARES offers the perfect blend of technological advancement and analog charm.

While most electric vehicles focus on technological innovation, with the Project ARES model, Real Motors has taken a step back to the essence: to combine modern technology with the analog spirit of driving. Just like in the golden days of motorcycling, Project ARES brings excitement and freedom, and in an electric version that is perfect for the urban jungle.

Don't let the city's rhythm stop

Project ARES is designed with urban drivers in mind who value style and functionality. Not only does this electric cafe racer turn heads with its futuristic design, but with a 160-kilometer (100-mile) range and the ability to fast-charge from the 10% to the 80% in just 30 minutes on a Level 2 charger, it's truly made for life on the fast track belt.

The heart of an athlete in the body of an artist

Although Real Motors has yet to reveal all the details, it is clear that the heart of the ARES, a mid-sized engine, will make its performance comparable to motorcycles with 700cc to 900cc engines. That means acceleration to 96 km/h (60 mph) in less than four seconds and fluid highway overtaking without sacrificing the low-speed agility afforded by the 191 kg (420 lbs) weight and 153.67 wheelbase cm (60.5 inches).

Where the past intertwines with the future

Rounded out with a look that would be at home in any sci-fi movie, Project ARES brings an advanced form to the traditional cafe racer. With an aerodynamic body and a sporty position on the motorcycle, which allows an active and dynamic ride, Project ARES is not only a means of transport, but a symbol of resistance against the ordinary.

Not only beautiful, but also smart

Project ARES it comes with a digital display that includes GPS and smartphone connectivity, meaning you don't need an extra phone holder for navigation. Safety is ensured by ByBre brakes with braided steel brake lines and Bridgestone Battlax SC 2 tires wrapped around 17-inch lightweight forged wheels.

Project ARES, which will be available with multiple customization options, is expected to arrive in late 2025, with an estimated retail price of under 20,000 $.
