It’s been a wild few years at Land Energy. The Cleveland, Ohio-based electric motorcycle startup has been ambitious from the start. The company evolved from an electric bike project called Falcon, started by Cleveland Cycle Werks co-founder and eventual Land Energy founder Scott Colosimo. As of June 2023, it’s doubled its workforce and is also looking to ramp up production in its Cleveland facility by the end of this year.
As Colosimo explained in 2021, once he started getting into electrification with the Falcon project, he realized that he wanted to move forward doing only electric bikes. Cleveland Cycle Werks, meanwhile, was solidly based on combustion machines. So, he started Land Energy to manufacture and assemble electric motorcycles right in Cleveland, and began looking for a buyer for CCW. In 2022, Land Energy unleashed its flagship bike, the District. To kick the year off right in 2023, it released the District Scrambler in January.
