Ukraine's Ministry of Defence has approved MUL.E, a domestically built all-wheel-drive electric military motorcycle, for combat use. It has roughly a 100km range, runs on two independent motors so it keeps moving if one fails, and is designed with a light ground footprint to avoid mine triggers plus a quiet ride for stealth. The defense procurement agency ordered 1,500 units in 2026, triple the prior year, for casualty evacuation and supply runs.

Looking at the data, a 100km range is tuned for round-trip runs near the front line. Technically, the dual independent motors are the key — the redundancy of staying mobile if one fails is something civilian EVs rarely bother with. Even setting emotion aside, this is a design built purely for the field.

Didn't realize quietness could matter this much on a battlefield.

1,500 units ordered, triple last year — that's how urgent the demand is.

A 100km range tuned exactly for front-line round trips is a smart calculation.

That dual-motor redundancy is something I'd want on a consumer EV too.

Military use is complicated to feel good about, but it's a major real-world EV use case.

That mine-avoiding ground-pressure design would never come out of civilian R&D.
