Vancouver, Canada-based manufacturer Damon Motors announced it will build a clean-tech R&D plant in Surrey, British Columbia. The 110,000-square-foot, state-of-the-art facility, which is being developed in partnership with Bosa Commercial, will serve as the starting point for production of the ambitious HyperSport, the smartest and safest all-electric motorcycle in the world.
Damon already has two models available for pre-order: the HyperSport SX and HyperSport SE. Configured with 15kWh, the Hypersport SX develops 150 horsepower and offers a range of over 150 miles / 240 kilometers. Meanwhile, the HyperSport SE with 11kWh, produces 108 hp and can travel more than 164 kilometers.
“The electric superbike offers unmatched safety, comfort and performance with innovative technology and zero tailpipe emissions,” highlights a Damon Motors release.

About the important plant initiative for motorcycle tailoring, Jay Giraud, co-founder and CEO of Damon Motors noted that “as we accelerate a clean energy future with our electric vehicles, we are also introducing a cleaner, industry-leading manufacturing process.”
