Hunter Leonard is currently an undergraduate student pursuing a bachelors degree in mechanical engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology in Rochester, NY. Hunter's love for motorcycles started back when he was 10 and was introduced to riding 1970s Yamaha and Suzuki dirt bikes down at a family member's house and his addiction grew from there. He now spends a majority of his time restoring old Suzuki motorcycles and building custom ones.

What inspired you to make this project?
I have always loved antique motorcycles and love the feeling and sound of electric motors, but have been extremely disappointed in the designs of electric motorcycles of tomorrow. I decided to combine the future of electric travel with the classical design of 1930s german motorcycles in my new company. This isn't the first motorcycle I've built from scratch, but it is the biggest and most powerful yet. I'm excited to meet new people and spread the word about my ideas and get this business off the ground and make new connections.
