The Quest
For Freedom
Over a hundred years ago a restless engineer fused a petrol powered engine with a wooden bicycle. This vehicle would become one of the most powerful symbols of modern culture.
The Daimler motorcycle was the first motorized bicycle with an internal combustion engine. This petrol powered engine laid the foundation of modern civilization. The time has come to retire this faithful servant.
From technical innovation
to art and design
act of rebellion and
the search of self
Beryl Swaine was the first female motorcycle racer
to race the Isle of man TT in 1962.
We are in love
with these machines
because they transport
us beyond physical places
Tarform luna is our first generation
of a new breed of electric motorcycles. powered by clean energy and care for nature.

Mobility of tomorrow
Should be sustainably
beautiful
We believe that vehicles should be
built using honest materials that
do no harm to our environment.
Technology should be used to
empower and enhance safety.
Machines should be built to last
and designed for upgradability.
Design for change
A modular platform that enables continuous upgradability of parts and aesthetic appearance.
Intelligence
Utilize sensors and technology to create a safer experience and provide meaningful insights to the rider.
Respect Nature
Build vehicles using bio-based and recyclable high performance materials that do the least amount of harm to our environment.
Designed to
embrace tomorrow
The Tarform Motorcycle is designed for modularity where the batterypack can be upgraded as technology evolves. The bodywork can be changed for a new style and software can be updated for a smarter ride.

eCOLOGY
The aesthetics of the Tarform Motorcycle is inspired by natures own intelligence.
Components are made from flax fibers, recycled aluminium, and biodegradable leather. Our mission is to build sustainable vehicles without compromise.
an intelligent machine
with insight
We designed a technological layer that enhances safety on two wheels. A radar acts as blindspot detection. Vibration through the seat alerts you of any vehicles in your blindspot. A rear facing camera enables you to see what is behind you.
From the streets
of Brooklyn to
the sea of tranquility
A perfect blend between the tall stance of a scrambler, the acceleration of a sportbike, and the comfortable all-round balance of a British classic.
Tarform Luna is a machine built to travel over cobble streets to canyons without leaving a trace.

A unique acoustic aura gives the Tarform motorcycle an unmistakable presence. a pure acoustic experience made possible by the flow of electrons.
the elegant simplicity of the electric powertrain
The drivetrain in an ICE vehicle contains 2,000+ moving parts, whereas the drivetrain in an EV contains around 20. No oil changes, minimal maintenance, no wasted energy.
