AUSTIN, TX – March 7, 2023 – (Motor Sports NewsWire) – Volcon Inc. (NASDAQ: VLCN) (“Volcon” or the “Company”), the first all-electric, off-road powersports company, today reported its operational highlights and financial results for fiscal year 2022.
Company Highlights:
- Through December 31, 2022 signed 151 dealers
- Delivered the first 2023 Volcon Brats to customers in December 2022
- Have taken pre-orders for the Stag of more than $116 million if all orders are fulfilled1
- Taken delivery of our first three Stag validation units in early 2023 that include our custom suspension parts in addition to the GM propulsion components
- Grunt EVO and Runt launch expected in the second quarter of 2023

In February 2023 we hired two new regional sales managers who will cover the Northeast and Southwest US, including California, where we already have dealers who have expressed an interest in carrying the Volcon product line up. We have also hired a regional sales manager to build our dealer network in Canada. We expect to have over 250 dealers in the US and Canada signed by the end of 2023.

1 Pre-orders are cancellable until they are fulfilled.
We launched the Volcon Brat, the Company’s first E-Bike in September 2022, and began taking pre-orders during the third quarter of 2022. We began shipping the Brat to customers in December 2022 and we recognized revenue of approximately $500,000 in the fourth quarter of 2022. In February 2023, we began selling Brats on a direct-to-consumer basis in the US. Customers can purchase a Brat from our website and have it delivered to a location specified by the customer. Davis notes “the launch of the Brat provides Volcon with an entry into the very popular E-Bike product category and it’s another way to connect with consumers who…
