After the HyperSport, with Jay Giraud: Part 2
The HyperSport started as a personal quest that turned into a reality. Born from a drive to make motorcycles safer, it was forged through relentless innovation and a no-compromise approach to design. Riders from every corner showed up: blue-collar Republicans, Silicon Valley tech heads, European commuters, and even gas-guzzling, gun-toting lorry drivers from the South — all lining up to throw down deposits and back the machine.

After the HyperSport, with Jay Giraud - Part 1
Back in 2017, Jay Giraud had an idea — one that hit the electric motorcycle world like a torque spike to the gut.

The Café Racer Is Back: This Time It’s Electric
It’s a grey afternoon in 1960s London. Post-war austerity is easing off, and families who’ve been stuck on bikes are finally moving up to cars. You’re 19, skint, and looking for anything with at least two wheels. The used market’s flooded with old machines. Cheap, a bit tired, not exactly desirable, but they run.

Let’s Talk about Torque
Right then, torque, horsepower, kW… the usual spec sheet mess. It sounds tough, but we’ll keep it simple, and try to make the age-old argument between torque and horsepower a bit clearer, or maybe even irrelevant.
