Damon motorcycles

How much closer to worthless can you get before you shut the lights off? Maybe they already repossessed the light bulbs.
It gets worse. They are following the path of other failures and rebranding themselves using buzz words. They are now an AI company. Focused on their vaporware intelligent safety systems. As an added bonus they plan on connecting and monetizing user info. Screw those guys. I have gone from optimistic to neutral to actively hostile towards them.
This Failing EV Motorcycle Company Wants to Pivot to AI, and Probably Sell Your Data
Damon Motorcycles, which hasn't built a single motorcycle for public consumption, wants to pivot to connected AI services in something called Damon I/O.

, "Damon I/O is purpose-built mobility infrastructure that can turn any personal mobility brand into a data-driven company overnight. We're offering manufacturers the tools to compete with the most advanced connected vehicle platforms in the world. Data by itself means nothing – it's contextual information that creates monetizable value."
"Every ride becomes actionable data," states Kwong.

E-bike maker Damon in seriously stormy waters
Damon is facing lawsuits, angry investors, and a shrinking team of just 13 staff, casting doubt on whether its bikes will ever hit the road.
Casting doubt as to whether its bikes will ever hit the road? That has been as close as you can get to an absolute certainty for years.....and to no ones surprise....

I'm surprised! I expected them to have been completely dissolved two years ago already.....and to no ones surprise....

This is the corporate equivalent of a dead body farting.

Agreed. Not surprised at all.
Out of curiousity would like to see what exactly their prototype included (HW and SW). Would be funny if it was pure fugazi and internals were in fact just a thumper underneath the fairings.

Afaik, it was a functional electric bike and it spent some time on the track. I wouldn't be at all surprised if range was well below what was published.
All of that transformer crap and self-driving they planned on including doomed the entire company from the beginning (and afaik was not on the demo bike). Make and sell a normal electric bike to build the warchest and brand reputation and add the time and money-intensive non-typical features later. Shooting for the stars normally ends up with you looking down the barrel of the gun.
Damon is continuing with plans to build its Hypersport Race model
Regardless of the issues it’s facing, Damon is continuing to push the development of a new electric motorcycle.
Ooooh.... a clay model of another bike they will never make. Impressive.
Trying for another round of funding? Who would give them a penny at this point.
Maybe California promised more cash if they met some milestone.

That would give them 2, doubling their cash reserves!

Who makes electric motorcycles?
Who makes the motors and the batteries?
On top of shocks, forks and brakes made by dedicated manufacturers... what's left?
