SHANDOKA CYCLES
Bolt-In V-Twin Multi-Fit

Custom electric chopper

For totally undeniable power. The bike that stopped people at Sturgis. Built on the V-Twin Multi-Fit system, with power from a mild 55 hp to more than 200 at the drive shaft.

Power combustion cannot touch

A custom electric chopper says you have the nerve to mix it all up for the thrill of the ride. Available power runs from a mild 55 hp to more than 200 horses at the drive shaft, so you can juice up any size motorcycle you can envision — repower an ailing classic, or start from bare frame and build something that rides out every gas price hike with style.

Built with you, or with your builder

Our team helps you choose the components and craft the bike around them, in our own fabrication shop or alongside a custom builder in our network. You bring the vision; the Multi-Fit system makes it bolt in and stay in.

The system underneath it

Everything on this bike sits on the Bolt-In V-Twin Multi-Fit: a structural adapter that replaces the engine and carries the loads the frame expects, plus a modular stack of 24-cell modules in 4, 6 or 8 parallel depending on the frame and how you ride. If you want the engineering rather than the photographs, that is the V-Twin system page.
