Patented Multi-Fit systems that convert the motorcycle you already love to electric drive — more power, less maintenance, and a platform you can keep upgrading as batteries get better. Start with our chopper, or bring your own bike.

Four platforms, one system underneath. Every one of them keeps the bike you started with and replaces what wore out.

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.
See the Custom Chopper build →Finished electric XS400, side profile against a plain wall, so the battery box and the original tank line both read.
The bike that inspired the first Shandoka retrofit. Two motor sizes, three batteries, and the classic lines of Yamaha's 1976 slimline cruiser.
See the Yamaha XS400 build →Electric Ninja 250 with fairings on, three-quarter front, so it reads as a stock sportbike until you look twice.
One of the most widely sold motorcycles in history, with a 12 kW hub motor and sustained 70 mph — in Skinny or Sumo fitment.
See the Kawasaki Ninja 250 build →Virago 750 with the electric system installed, side profile, the V-Twin tribute shape of the adapter clearly visible.
Five frame sizes, from the 250 through the 535 and 750/920 to the 1100 — the most customizable platform we build for.
See the Yamaha Virago build →The patented adapter takes the place of the structural engine, carrying the loads the frame expects. No cutting, no guesswork, no one-off welding.
Bigger battery, stronger controller, liquid cooling and chill plates — the platform is designed to take the next generation of parts, not to be replaced by them.
Any household outlet does it. You do not need a charging station for most daily riding, and public charging is there when you travel.
Our shop partner network is trained on the system, so the bike that leaves is a street-legal motorcycle — not an e-bike with ambitions.
The Shandoka DBB is onboard telemetry for electric motorcycles: every cell, every thermistor, GPS and charge data, live on a 4.3″ screen and logged to files you own. Fit it to a Shandoka build or any pack running a supported BMS.

Our technician certification takes someone with no experience and makes them capable on electric bikes, scooters, e-mopeds and motorcycles — about 30 hours, self-paced, designed to pair with hands-on guidance in a shop. Build your own Shandoka and get certified to maintain it without voiding the warranty.
It is one thing to put together an electric motorcycle. It is another thing entirely to have it stay together. We partnered with endurance riders Wendy Crockett and Ian McPhee — whose own self-supported team ride passed 89,000 miles on gasoline — to set records that mean something.

Tell us what it is. If it is one of our four platforms, the system already fits. If it is not, we will tell you honestly what that build involves.
Choose a platform and we will build it with you, in Detroit or with a partner shop in our network.
Get certified on the Shandoka system and build for yourself — or for other people, as a shop.
