“Wait a second, you’re in Utah?!” I emailed Colin Godby, Dust.Moto’s CEO, after seeing him post a video on Instagram right up the street from me, “Come over, we can play with the Alpha in my backyard.” A day later, the company’s Alpha prototype was here, ready for me to be one of the first people to ride the prototype outside the company, as well as the first media rider ever.
Dust.Moto’s Alpha prototype is the brainchild of a handful of ex-Ubco employees who looked at the current EV market and felt there was a motorcycle-sized hole between the e-bike/Sur-Ron crowd and those in the wild world of full-on dirtbikes. A motorcycle that’s lightweight, easily tossable, simple to ride and maintain, and can suit riders of all skill levels. A motorcycle that you can play with in your backyard, something they affectionately call “a play bike”.
