Becoming The Mr. CTO - 51: Warp Speed

We built a fully electric motorcycle, a proper cross bike. To save time (and money), we used a tested and certified body frame - no need to reinvent the wheel… or in this case, the frame. That move alone cut down development time massively and let us focus on what mattered - the tech.

We fit a high energy-density battery, a full connectivity stack, and an 18kW BLDC motor with a 4-speed gearbox. The result? A machine that delivered insane torque and could easily push over 120 km/h.

This thing wasn’t just a concept, it was fun, pure, raw fun. But also designed for something bigger: reconnaissance in extreme conditions.
