Engineered by a slightly eccentric mechanic, Olivier’s motorcycles are revolutionary in many aspects. From their unique powertrain with a built-in gearbox and clutch, to their innovative cooling system using oil immersion for the batteries, they stand out among all other electric motorcycles on the market.
Olivier S222 | Moto Supermot Electric and Moto Cross versions
For urban use, the S222 S (SUPERMOT) is the perfect option, while countryside adventurers may prefer the S222 C (CROSS). The lightweight build and easy maneuverability make it a joy to navigate through bustling urban traffic and bumpy roads. With 4.3 kW/h batteries, you can ride over 130 km on a single charge, striking a great balance between weight and battery life. Additionally, Olivier uses cells in their battery packs that have one of the highest energy densities available.
Opting for these electric motorcycles allows you to ride in silence and with a clear conscience, as they are environmentally friendly. Plus, recharging them is a breeze – simply use any AC outlet or European public charging station (type 2). And when it comes to maintenance, the electric motor and battery require little to no upkeep compared to traditional motorcycles, saving you money in the long run.
The S222 boasts an engine that was created and built entirely within the Olivier Motor CO workshops. This type of motor is synchronous and features internal permanent magnets, and it also has a water cooling system around the stator. The motor’s aluminum casing, crafted from a solid block of material, ensures durability, accuracy, and lightness.
With a maximum power output of 35 kW, and a nominal power output of 11 kW, this set is capable of producing a great amount of energy. Its engine can generate up to 89 Nm of torque, resulting in a 1170 Nm of torque at the wheel. When driven to its limit, the S222 model can reach speeds of up to 139 km/h.
Both models also include a 5-speed manual transmission and a multi-disc oil bath clutch. An advanced energy recovery system allows for the motorcycle’s batteries to recharge while decelerating or braking, providing the rider with strong engine braking similar to that of a 4-stroke thermal motorcycle when downshifting.
The S222 models come equipped with a lightweight 6061 aluminum perimeter chassis. The damping system features a Fastace® inverted fork measuring 47 mm, which can be adjusted for both compression and rebound. In addition, the mono rear shock absorber, also from Fastace®, has suspension links that can be adjusted for both compression and rebound as well.
The brakes are not left out; this S222 version is equipped at the front with a 290 mm floating disc and a 2-piston Nissin® clamp. As an option, this model has a Motomaster® brake kit, including a 320 mm star-shaped floating disc and a 4-piston brake caliper. The rear brake is equipped like the cross version with a 240 mm disc and a 1-piston Nissin® clamp. (Cross version is equipped at the front with a 270 mm floating disc and a 2-piston Nissin® clamp).
The motorcycle’s front wheel has a CNC-cut aluminum hub and 7075 aluminum rim, measuring 17×3.50 and fitted with 120/90-R17 tires. The rear wheel also has a CNC-cut aluminum hub and a 17×4.25 7075 aluminum rim, paired with a 150/60-R17 tire. The Cross version features a front wheel with a CNC-cut aluminum hub and 7075 aluminum rim, measuring 21×2.15 and fitted with 110/100-R18 tires. The rear wheel also has a CNC-cut aluminum hub and an 18×2.15 7075 aluminum rim, once again paired with a 110/100-R18 tire.
Olivier’s workshop is responsible for the development and production of the battery used in their S222 models. These batteries are equipped with 270 Molicel cells, which are known for their high density and power capabilities in the market.
The battery pack is securely contained within a waterproof aluminum box that is directly attached to the chassis of the S222. All operations are controlled by a battery controller that Olivier has designed, allowing for efficient management of charging, discharging, thermal control, and cell balancing.
To ensure optimal performance, the battery is submerged in a specialized coolant unique to this model. The 4.3 kWh lithium-ion battery has a range of up to 130 km in city driving, 4 hours during enduro rides, or 1 hour on a cross track, depending on external conditions and driving style.
When it comes to charging, the S222 can handle up to 3.3 kW and is compatible with all European public terminals (using type 2 sockets) and domestic EV charging stations. On these terminals, a recharge from 10% to 80% can be achieved in less than an hour.
Motorcycles will be available for delivery starting in March 2024.
