Ukraine’s Armed Forces are beginning field trials of a domestically developed electric motorcycle known as WolfStorm, which could enhance mobility and stealth for frontline and support units.

According to Defense Express on October 13, the Ukrainian company UkrSpecConsulting has delivered several WolfStorm electric bikes for preliminary testing.

The first evaluations will take place in the Special Operations Forces (SOF), where the platform’s low noise and heat signature are seen as key advantages for reconnaissance and sabotage missions.

Developers told Defense Express that the testing phase will help gather real-world feedback from soldiers to inform potential upgrades before full-scale production. In addition to SOF units, the bikes may also be provided to other formations already experienced in operating similar mobility systems.

WolfStorm’s electric drive system offers silent movement and low thermal visibility, making it difficult to detect via sound or infrared surveillance. This could be critical for operations requiring speed and concealment, especially in contested or occupied territories.

While the system is primarily aimed at special forces, potential use cases go beyond that. As noted in the report, WolfStorm could benefit troops on the second line—including FPV drone operators, combat engineers, and logistics personnel operating near forward positions. Its utility also extends to perimeter patrols and border security.

The electric bike features a central motor layout, rapid battery-swap capability, and a rugged design resilient to moisture, temperature changes, and falls. According to the developers, WolfStorm has a range of 100 km per charge and a top speed of 80 km/h.

The bike’s nominal power output is 3 kW, with a peak of 8 kW. It supports a payload of up to 200 kg while weighing 105 kg. Full battery charging takes approximately four hours.

Earlier, on May 20, Ukraine’s 425th Separate Assault Regiment “Skala” formed the country’s first motorcycle assault company, aimed at conducting rapid breakthroughs and high-mobility strikes. According to the unit, soldiers trained intensively in riding and firing on the move, creating a modern “cavalry” capable of swarming enemy positions.
