On December 14, 2022, Curtiss Motorcycle Company announced “An American Legacy Restoration,” its new investment plan to raise $8.33 million via its “direct-to-investor stock-selling campaign,” which is more frequently referred to in present time as crowdfunding. An electric motorcycle company taking such action isn’t unusual.
What sets this one apart is that the company is also offering a total of seven of its pre-production prototypes of the Curtiss 1, for investors who commit to a certain level of funding. Investors at all levels receive stock in the company, with time-based bonus shares awarded at certain levels. However, in order to reach prototype-eligible funding, investors must commit $200,000 or more.
