What has been especially encouraging during this raise is the local support we've received from Goshen, Indiana.

We chose to manufacture here deliberately. Not because it was the lowest-cost option. Not because it followed a trend. We chose to build motorcycles in a restored brick dry cleaning facility in downtown Goshen because this community understands long-term work. There is pride in skilled labor here. There is respect for craftsmanship. There are families who value building something that lasts.

Small-scale American manufacturing strengthens local supply chains, creates durable jobs, and preserves trade knowledge that is increasingly rare. Supporting a company like ours is not abstract — it directly supports welders, machinists, painters, assemblers, logistics teams, and apprentices learning the trade while diversifying and strengthening our local economy.

We are also seeing steady increases in followers and engagement on Wefunder, with additional investors preparing to commit in early March. The momentum is grassroots and measurable.

If you believe in domestic manufacturing and independent production, share the raise. Direct outreach still drives the strongest results.

We are building here. And we are being backed here. Please support and share this raise.
