Hi Rider,
Welcome to the first teaser for the Bonfire Y. Today I'll give you some exciting insights into the new Bonfire Y, information on delivery times and an update for all existing customers regarding inspection and the air-cooled kit. Let's start with the Bonfire Y first:
Today there is only a small 3D rendering from me, because our prototype is not yet finished. The last components are still being manufactured for us and we will be able to present the first prototype for events and series approval from mid-February.
As you can already see, a lot has changed. And believe me, as soon as you see the first prototype, you'll definitely notice. We have replaced 70% of the components from the first Bonfire from 2023 to develop the best bike in the 11kW class. It is a completely newly developed vehicle and therefore we have to say goodbye to the Bonfire Y name.
The Bonfire was launched as a lightweight and affordable electric motorcycle with a retro look for urban areas and will remain so. However, the newly developed Bonfire Y is a full-blown 11 kW power scrambler for short weekend tours. For this reason, the Bonfire Y will become the Wildfire.
Updated specifications
Anyone who has pre-ordered a Bonfire Y can look forward to the following upgrades:
- The Wildfire comes with a Long Range battery as standard, which has a net capacity of 5 kWh. Although this is slightly less than the promised 6 kWh with two batteries, you can fit a second 5 kWh battery and double the capacity to 10 kWh. This means that the Wildfire has the largest removable battery of all electric motorcycles. A Long Range battery weighs 25 kg and is therefore twice as heavy as our Normal Range batteries, but each battery has an additional shoulder strap.
- The continuous output with one battery is 8 kW and is increased to 10 kW when using two batteries connected in parallel, which means you are almost at the limit of the permitted 11 kW. The CBS brake system is increased to 300 mm brake disk diameter at the front and 220 mm at the rear.
- The Wildfire is supplied with an internal 2 kW charger, which can charge any battery in 2.5 hours. The type 2 connection is located on the tank, so you can charge at any charging station or wallbox. The scope of delivery includes a 6 m charging cable with a Schuko connection. We also offer an external 2 kW charger as an accessory, which you can use when you remove the batteries.
- If these performance values are not enough for you, we have the Wildfire Performance, which is only available with 2 batteries. The peak power is 20 kW and with the 600 amp controller, the Performance variant can accelerate from 0 to 100 in under 10 seconds, which is as fast as a 250 cc combustion engine. The Performance also has an internal 3.3 kW charger, with which each battery can be charged in 1.5 hours and the engine is cooled by cooling fins.
- The highlight of the Wildfire Performance are the brakes: it is our first model with an ABS brake system from Continental. The Wildfire Performance will be delivered from October 2024.
- Storage space is included in every Wildfire and does not have to be booked in addition. The 10 liter storage space is located under the seat and has enough room to transport your shopping, laptop or camera.
- Every Wildfire is supplied with K60 Dual Sport tires and handlebar end mirrors as standard.
- Instead of a short wheel guard at the front, the Wildfire now has a raised wheel guard.
- There is no passenger mount, as there is a mount for the pillion directly on the body. There is also no luggage rack, as the top case and side bags can now be mounted directly on the body. Of course, there will be a long seat for riding with a pillion and the pillion footrests are also firmly attached to the frame.
- The following accessories are no longer available for the Wildfire: off-road protection, fork bar, luggage rack, handlebar end mirror, retro windshield, XLR connector, grille, lower footrests. Some of these accessories are already included in the scope of delivery or there is no longer any reason for the accessories as, for example, the footrests are low enough or the fork is stiff enough.
- There are 2 colors: Stainless Steel and Satin Black. Under Stainless Steel the cladding is finely brushed stainless steel and under Satin Black the cladding is painted in satin black.
Wildfire will be presented at our Office Party on February 23. If you would like to attend, you can register for the Release & Office Party here: https://blacktea.setmore.com/bookclass

For all those who have already ordered a Bonfire Y: As soon as the official photos are announced in a few weeks, there will also be a tool on our website especially for you to change and customize your order.
The price you paid for your former Bonfire Y remains the same. You will receive the Wildfire with a 5 kWh long range battery, 2kW internal charger with type 2 connection, 6 m Schuko charging cable in the color Stainless Steel.
All accessories that you have already ordered with your Bonfire Y and that we no longer offer will be refunded. Some of them are already included free of charge (K60 tires, handlebar end mirrors, off-road protection).
If you would like to add a battery (€2,000), change the color (€500), order an external charger (€400) or upgrade to Wildfire Performance (€3,000), you can do so in our tool from mid-February.
Inspection and air-cooled kit
In February and March, we will be doing inspection rounds in Germany again. So if you would like to have your Bonfire inspected before the next season, it is best to book an inspection quickly this weekend, as the next inspection rounds will not be carried out until the summer.

Unfortunately, the air-cooled kit is delayed because our engine supplier is on a 3-week factory vacation starting today due to the Chinese New Year. For this reason, we will not be able to ship the ordered air-cooled kits to you until the end of February. Sorry for the delay.
