Ethos – Tarform Motorcycles

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.

The motorcycle has come to represent
a range of values and ideas

From technical innovation
to art and design
acts of rebellion and
the search for 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

Design for change

A modular platform that enables continuous upgradability of parts and aesthetic appearance.

Intelligence

Respect Nature

Build vehicles using bio-based and recyclable high performance materials that do the least amount of harm to our environment.

Reinventing what is
outdated and keeping
what is proven

We chose to build our vehicles out of non-traditional materials that go against outdated industry standards. by 2050 the amount of plastic will exceed the amount of fish in the oceans.
