Pretty much everyone has just quit Damon Motorcycles, the startup electric motorcycle company behind the Hypersport, a 200 MPH, 200-mile range, 200-horsepower superbike that never even made it out of the prototype phase. And this truly feels like the end of this saga, as the board, the company's CFO, and its returning co-founder who became CEO, have all left.
RIP, Damon Motorcycles?
The reporting comes after an insane last two years, one that RideApart has been at the forefront of. There were mass layoffs that never went public, lawsuits back and forth between the company and its co-founder, Jay Giraud, allegations of inappropriate work behavior and dog attacks, a cancelled, highly publicized factory, and repeated changes to production timetables. There was also a shady investor with ties to IndyCar and an FCC case.
