Hi Rider,
Today I have good news about the Wildfire and Bonfire. Yes, you heard right, also about Bonfire ;)
As you know, Black Tea Motorbikes is all about creating the perfect electric motorcycle. And we have now achieved this with the Wildfire & Bonfire .
With the new round tank, the Wildfire has space for two batteries and there is also a super-fast 6.6 kW type 2 charger to take with you. This makes the Wildfire perfect for anyone who wants to ride a motorcycle properly.
The Bonfire S, E & X has now become the Bonfire, which is effectively a Bonfire Y Lite. There is more power, more range and faster charging. The vintage charm remains, the batteries can be easily removed and the light weight makes it a perfect city bike.
In the coming years, we will focus on the two models and show why electric mobility is really fun.
You can get all the information from me in this video:

The Wildfire now has space for two batteries thanks to the new round tank and there is also a super-fast 6.6 kW Type 2 charger to take with you.
The Bonfire is now equipped with the Wildfire, giving it more power. The range has been increased by 10 % compared to the Bonfire X. And the cool thing is that the new batteries can also be used in the current Bonfire S, E & X.
WILDFIRE INFO
As you can see in the rendering, the Wildfire has a slightly rounder tank. As a result, 2 batteries will now fit in the Wildfire as originally planned. Of course, you can also order the WIldfire with one battery and buy a second battery at a later date. The second battery then doubles your top performance and increases your maximum speed.
We also offer a mobile 6.6 kW charger with a type 2 connection. This charger can be easily mounted on the luggage rack and allows you to charge twice as fast on the road, so that you can charge over 100 km per hour.
*You can only use the 6.6 kW if you have two batteries, as each battery can only handle a charging power of 3.3 kW.
The TÜV process is already 30% complete and we will start the final tests in June. As soon as the EMC test has been completed, we will carry out the brake test and then all the difficult tests will have been passed. After that, all we need to do are the easier tests, such as maximum speed, range and performance.
In June I will launch the final Wildfire in the newsletter. It will have a round tank and enough space for 2 batteries. The minor teething troubles, such as rattling or a hard chassis on the current prototype, will also be fixed. Then we can start series production.
Bonfire Y pre-order
All those who have pre-ordered a Bonfire Y now have the last chance to use the configurator. If your preference has changed, just let me know by email and we can change your configuration.

BONFIRE INFORMATION
Now that we have said goodbye to the Bonfire S,E and X, there will only be the Bonfire from now on. And, as I promised, it will get the most out of the Bonfire. The vintage charm will remain, but there will be more power, range and charging capacity.
The new Bonfire has the same drivetrain as the WIldfire. The Bonfire is therefore now also available as a standard and performance version. As with the Wildfire , the Performance version is supplied with cooling fins on the engine. The maximum speed is now also 115 km/h.
The battery capacity has increased by 10%, but the size remains the same. This means that all Bonfire S,E & X customers can use the new 2 kWh battery in their Bonfire .
The Bonfire will continue to be available with our standard 10 A charger, but you can also order an additional charging connection on the vehicle, which you can use to charge the Bonfire with a 2 kW external charger.
We have two options for you here: either a normal charger with a Schuko connection or a charger with a type 2 connection so that you can also charge at charging stations. The charger with a type 2 connection can be conveniently mounted on your luggage rack and, as it is waterproof, you can easily charge in the rain.
* The external 2 kW chargers will also be available for retrofitting to the current Bonfire X models.
The Bonfire is available immediately and the delivery time is just under 4 months.
PROCESSING
You can of course test ride the Wildfire and the new Bonfire on our Hell Rides Tour in the coming weeks. Tomorrow and the day after tomorrow we'll be in Hamburg, then in Berlin and then Stuttgart:
