The 1 contains a patent-pending Centered Power Axis, stabilizing the motorcycle and yielding a smooth and balanced riding experience. An industry-first, immersion-cooled Curtiss Hex Pack battery solution alleviates all generated heat and provides insulation, optimizing the rider’s safety in the process. Combined with an axial flux electric powertrain, billet aluminum, titanium and carbon-fiber state-of-the-art monocoque, and an adjustable multi-link suspension system, The 1 is a fully bespoke motorcycle that can last generations of prolonged riding and whose functionality will not acquiesce to obsolescence.
