A custom electric chopper tells everyone you have the guts to mix it all up for the thrill of the ride. Our team has the engineering experience to work at the extremes of materials design and craft an electric motorcycle that defies all the rules while following the laws of physics. With available power from a mild 55 hp to over 200 horses at the drive shaft, you can juice up any size motorcycle you can envision. Repower an ailing classic, or start from scratch and have a motorcycle that will ride out any gas price hike with style and strength.
Our team will help you choose the right components and craft a bike just for you. Build it in our in-house fabrication shop, or take it to another level with a dedicated custom builder in our network and bring your ultimate custom vision to the road.

The V-Twin system page has the engineering.
