Why The Volojet Tomcat Might Be the Best Performance Deal on Two, Three or Four Wheels

March 14, 2025

The VoloJet Tomcat kit turns a Zero S-Line motorcycle into a reverse trike with insane performance.
It outperforms track-day cars like the Porsche Cayman and Corvette in acceleration and handling.
It requires virtually no maintenance—just a belt change every two years and occasional brake servicing.
With a starting cost of $35,000, it offers far less than comparable high-performance vehicles.

Ever considered adding a trike to your stable? If not, this might change the way you see three-wheel vehicles forever. VoloJet Tomcat takes the concept to a whole new level.

This isn’t just another quirky three-wheeler. It goes toe-to-toe with serious track-day cars—like the Porsche Cayman, Chevy Corvette, BMW M3, Honda Civic Type R, Miatas, and Toyota GR models—while offering instant electric torque, near-zero maintenance, and daily-drivability.

And here’s the wild part: It’s actually a kit.

VoloJet Tomcat is Faster Than a Vette, Grippier Than a Cayman – For Less

The VoloJet Tomcat is a recumbent multi-wheel conversion kit—one that converts a Zero ‘S-line’ electric motorcycle into a track weapon that eats sports cars for lunch.

With a 0-60 mph time of under four seconds, it launches as fast as a Chevy Corvette or BMW M3 and takes corners like the Porsche Cayman or Lotus Elise models—providing performance few cars can match.

Its instant torque delivery, backed by 169 ft-lbs of torque and an 800-pound curb weight, makes it brutally quick, especially when powering out of corners. In fact, unless you are racing against a professional AMA rider, the Tomcat will outperform high-performance motorcycles on twisty roads.

If you’re wondering what makes this different from other three-wheelers like the Polaris Slingshot, the answer is everything.

Unlike the Slingshot, the Tomcat is fully electric, virtually maintenance-free, and dramatically lighter—meaning it’s faster, more agile, and requires almost no upkeep unlike traditional powersports machines that leave you reeling at the service center.

“It stands toe-to-toe with the best in the industry on acceleration and lateral grip,” says Founder and ‘Chief Happiness Officer’ of VoloJet, Dalton Winter. “But it delivers a knockout blow when comparing its price point and ease of ownership.”

And speaking of price…

Track-Day Performance Without the Track-Day Budget

Look at what you’d need to spend for something in this performance range:

Porsche Cayman GT4: $111,000
Chevy Corvette Z06: $112,000
BMW M3 Competition: $77,000
Lotus Elise (used): $50,000+

Now, let’s talk about the VoloJet Tomcat: $35,000-$43,000 gets you track-dominating performance, and virtually no maintenance.

How the Tomcat Kit Works

The Tomcat is a kit, meaning it isn’t a standalone vehicle—you bring your own donor motorcycle (a Zero ‘S-line’ electric bike), and VoloJet installs the multi-wheel recumbent package.

What does the kit do? It completely changes the riding dynamics by turning a two-wheeled Zero motorcycle into a reverse trike, with a semi-enclosed bucket seat, a harness, and a highly adjustable suspension system.

It’s fully removable. If you ever want to go back to two wheels, you can.
No permanent modifications to the donor bike—just install the kit, and you’re good to go.
It’s not just for thrill-seekers. The Tomcat is also an around-towner and highly adaptable for riders with extremity limitations.

One of the best parts is the sheer level of approachability. Whether you’re an experienced hand or new rider, the Tomcat kit challenges you and puts you in control at the same time. It is designed to maximize adjustability, letting you tweak suspension, steering dampeners, ride height, and even driving characteristics via the Zero app.

Low Maintenance, Maximum Fun

High-performance vehicles usually come with high-maintenance headaches, but the Tomcat is different. There are no oil changes to worry about, no engine rebuilds to budget for, and no overpriced dealer service fees eating into your wallet.

The only real upkeep involves replacing the belt every two years, bleeding the brakes occasionally, and swapping in fresh brake pads if you take it to the track.

“Unlike other manufacturers that plan on taking their customers to the cleaners at the service centers, we don’t believe in that,” says Winter. “You can service and adjust virtually everything yourself outside of the electronics.”

Daily driver? Absolutely. The Tomcat offers 106 miles of city range, home charging, and zero gas station stops.

Building Speed with Ethics, Sustainability, and Local Jobs

VoloJet isn’t just building another speed machine. This is a company committed to doing things the right way. Unlike many manufacturers that chase higher margins through outsourcing, VoloJet keeps jobs local, ensuring employees are paid fairly without cutting corners on quality.

Sustainability is a core principle, with a focus on using highly recyclable metals and plastics, employing low-VOC fabrication techniques, and minimizing micro-fiber pollution.

Every Tomcat is built in the U.S., where shortened supply chains and local production practices make the entire process more ethical and efficient.

“This is a movement to show that it’s possible to elevate people and the planet on par with profit and still run a successful business,” Winter states.

So when you buy a Tomcat, you’re not just getting the most exciting three-wheeler on the market—you’re supporting a company that actually gives a damn.
