With a modern lineup full of features, competitive prices, and plenty of confidence, Zontes’ new models want to do for the two-wheeled market what BYD did for Tesla.

A manufacturer that produces almost everything in-house, from engine to frame. Zontes 703RR.

The Atto 2 is everything Elon Musk refuses to build: An affordable, easy-to-use electric crossover, without gimmicks or fake sounds. How does it perform on the road and suit Israeli drivers?
