The Latest Breaking News from RideApart

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…

Recent years have brought about hundreds of new electric motorcycles popping up left and right. Startups from all over the world are trying to cash in on the EV revolution. And while some have made waves, plenty of others have wiped out just as fast as they launched.

You could say that LiveWire has always had a bit of an identity crisis. It was originally launched as the first all-electric model under the Harley brand, a symbol of its daringness to venture into the world of electrification. But not long after, it was spun off into its own…

"Loud pipes save lives" is a divisive statement, even in the motorcycle community. I believe, under certain circumstances, loud pipes could actually prevent some accidents and potentially death.
