Is This… The One?

SEEKING TO CAPTURE the spirit of innovation which guided its founding 115 years ago, the Alabama-based motoring artisan introduces a new electric variant of its iconic motorbikes. Featuring aircraft-inspired TLP monocoque chassis made from machined billet aluminium, “The One” lives up to its namesake.

The chassis on the up-and-coming One production model as well as the 15-bike Founder’s Edition, is unique, allowing it to be slimmer than almost any other motorcycle with equivalent power on the market.
