The electric motorcycle space continues to be an interesting one in 2022. We’ve seen many a startup breathlessly announce its new bike in recent years. Of course, sometimes things go as planned and sometimes they don’t. No one was planning on a pandemic that affected health, supply chains, and basically every other thing you can think of, for example. Still, innovators just want the time, tools, and opportunity to innovate—and so, they push forward—as you’ll soon see.
This is the Flux Primo electric motocross bike. It’s a prototype, and Flux Performance CEO and cofounder Marko Urota is very clear about that fact. The passionate Flux team that built it did so in a garage—but they didn’t use off-the-shelf components. Instead, they designed and built everything from the ground up—including the battery. (That’s where we tell you that the team is comprised of either racers who are also engineers, or engineers who are also racers. It's not clear exactly how they describe themselves, but that mix of skills and passions probably makes a difference in the bike’s origin story.)
