It’s been incredible to witness his journey over just threeyears—designing and building electric motorcycles and developing innovativemodular conversion kits that transform classic full-size road and streetcruiser ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) bikes into sleek, modern electricmachines. With modular and upgradable power options, there’s a setup to matchyour riding style and the environment you ride in.
