Build a Shandoka for yourself with our team in Detroit and you'll be certified to make repairs and upgrades without voiding the warranty. Want to start your own retrofit motorcycle shop and build electric motorcycles for others? We'll teach you how to use the Shandoka system in our extended training courses.
A lot of people have talked to us about their worries with electric motorcycles and not being able to work on them. For a century, you could fix a poorly running engine and keep the oil changed without help, but all the software in modern motorcycles gets in your way. That's when we knew the best customers would want to fix their own motorcycle. At our Detroit headquarters, you can get all the training you need to safely work on a Shandoka, and get certified to build them for other people.
Work alongside our team on your own conversion in Detroit, and leave certified on the system that is now in your frame.
About 13 hours of reading and 15-20 hours of bench work at your own pace, covering electric bikes, scooters, e-mopeds and motorcycles, with hands-on time in a shop.
Train your technicians on the Multi-Fit system and build Shandoka conversions for customers in your area.
Why not? Because DIY isn't always DIY. Just look at all the unfinished projects you already have! Did you really DIY that bathroom? Or the raised beds? Would you ride it down the highway? We know DIY because we've done DIY, and you know what happens when you're doing DIY. Sometimes you D-I-Don't!
A Forever Deposit is a reservation for any motorcycle we build. You get a discount on $500 of deposit value the earlier you buy your Forever Deposit, and the price goes up $50 every time we get 10 reservations. When you know you want a Shandoka but aren't sure which style or build level, get the process started with your Forever Deposit, and we'll help you pick the right frame and features for the way you ride.
You keep your spot at the top of the line as we offer small batches of builds. If you aren't ready for the first small batch, no problem: you keep the same spot in line for the next batch. Want your Shandoka right away and still get the discount? Buy your Forever Deposit today and redeem it immediately to start on your electric motorcycle the next business day. Invite your friends, because motorcycles are more fun together!
The face value of your Forever Deposit is only what you paid for it, and any refund request is for the amount you paid. The discount applies when a motorcycle purchase is made by the original buyer of the Forever Deposit. Refunds are handled case by case if we can't build a motorcycle for you due to unforeseeable circumstances.
The engine and fuel system come out. The frame stays as it was built.
The adapter bolts in where the engine sat and carries the loads the frame was built for.
The battery pack, controller and motor go in around the adapter.
Charge it at home and ride it the way you always have.
The Multi-Fit adapter takes the place of the structural engine and carries the loads the frame was built for, so there's no cutting the frame and no one-off welding. The battery and drive go in around it. We build it in Detroit, or a partner shop in our network builds it.
No. If you have the bike, we convert it. If you know the bike you want, we'll help you source it. If you know how you want to ride and the style you like, we'll help you choose the bike and then source it.
There's a motorcycle type and a price point for everyone. The cost depends on the platform, the battery and motor you choose and how much custom work goes into it. Tell us what you ride, or how you want to ride, and we'll quote the build.
From any household outlet. You don't need a charging station for most daily riding.
There's no engine to service: no oil changes, no fuel system and no tune-ups. Tires, brakes and the rest of the running gear are looked after the way they always were. There are things you need to do to keep your electric drivetrain healthy, and we'll help you understand what they are. We also offer specialty tools like our Digital Black Box for keeping track of your battery health and charge results.

Yes. The system is designed to step up: a bigger battery, a more powerful controller, or liquid cooling and chill plates, without starting over.
These are street-legal electric motorcycles, built by us or by a partner shop trained on the Shandoka system.
