I've been working on a story for a number of months now, one that got behind the scenes of Damon Motorcycles. It was a profile all the trials the upstart electric motorcycle company has been through. It was a long look at the issues behind multiple things: Its constantly moving manufacturing facility; a number of unannounced layoffs; one of the co-founders peacing out and then returning in December 2024; employees who feared legal reprisals and only spoke to me anonymously, and just the general chaos behind the scenes of a company that was seemingly full of big promises and little else.
But I think it's time to address the elephant in the room: If you've given Damon a deposit on either its HyperSport or HyperFighter, it looks like you're probably not getting either of those 200-horsepower, 200-mile, safety system galore electric motorcycles.
I wish I had better news.
