Leonard Motor Works Starrettania, the modern classic electric motorcycle

Virtually Maker Faire 2020

May 22nd-23rd

I've started a business building custom 1930s styled electric motorcycles from the ground up. Most frame parts were CNC plasma cut on my Langmuir Crossfire and fenders were 3D printed on my large printer, and everything was designed and assembled by me. Based on a 1928 Windhoff German motorcycle, I've brought back the stretched out, fat tire and big fender look of antique motorcycles with a modern twist of being electric, high power and low maintenance. The Starrettania is built with an Enertrac 30hp hub motor, 16 Nissan Leaf battery cells, a Kelly Motor Controller, and has all the bells and whistles of current motorcycles on the street. You can check the status of your batteries with your phone, program the power curve of the hub motor, and even slow down without brakes with regenerative braking. This bike will cruise up to 80mph and can hum around town for about 70 miles. The Starrettania aims to bring back the heydays of when beautiful motorcycles crossed the country on dirt roads but with a modern, faster and more reliable twist.
