Wrap things up for this year. The year started off with people wearing masks and staying away from eachother – and it ends the same way. A bit of hope in the summer time for us – but a lot of drama also and not too much of traveling options. But we got a lot […]

New platform – with a lot more to do.
New and bigger platform for development. 1301 cc of V2 with a 1/4 of a ton of weight. As soon as the 790 was sent off to a new home – we picked up a different platform for using and abusing. The 2018 m.y. 1290 super adventure S. This time for more road biased […]
20 out of 20
It is finally here. the nice round nr of 2020. The year 2019 was a tight scheduled and intense year of preparing, building, growing and of course a little bit of riding. We gained one bike but also lost one. We added a new member to the crew and kept all the old ducks in […]
Sandy ´s wheels.
Sandy needs to roll. Out of the factory, Sandy comes with spoked wheels and tubeless tyres. These are quite the 50/50 combo journalists like to call so. In reality though – any faster approach offroad or to a big pothole and it can end up with the rim bent slightly and a flat tyre. How […]
Exhaust (ed) Sandy.
Exhaust. Here we will talk about the back side of the engine. The thing that comes out. The thing that kills all the ….blablabla. This is an EUR5 engine.

Sandy – The new girl in the family.
Lets talk bikes. If money was not a question. What would it be? You want power and good looks and … Power. No. What you want for your money is ridability. You want to be able to go places with the bike and not not worry about fuel range, suspension travel, few scratches and sore […]
Energy +- Battery
The word “energeia” comes from the Greek. It means work within. It is very suitable for our need. In the last few years the electric motor has become “mainstream” product according to the press. When we look at production nrs – not really the case. But there is no reason, why we should not benefit […]
2018 – it has been a year.
