Curtiss Motorcycles offers rare collection of unique prototype electric motorcycles to financial supporters

Curtiss Motorcycle announced today that it is offering a rare collection of unique prototype electric motorcycles to financial supporters participating in its direct-to-investor stock-selling campaign, which launched today, as it pursues the restoration of one of Americaā€™s most storied legacy motoring brands.

The prototypes, inspired by the work of original founder and pioneer Glenn H. Curtiss, span the key foundational years of the Curtiss teamā€™s light electric vehicle architectural research and development program, beginning with the 2018 Zeus Concept prototype, the winner of that yearā€™s ā€œMost Innovative Motorcycleā€ award at The Quail Motorcycle Gathering.

Other prototypes being made available include one-of-a-kind Alpha and Beta validation examples of The 1 by Curtiss, the companyā€™s debut model, as well as the very first pre-production unit that currently resides in LAā€™s Petersen Automotive Museum.

ā€œWhile Glennā€™s focus on flight changed the world for the better, his absence in the two-wheeled world caused our industry to evolve at a far slower pace of progress than it otherwise would have. It is our goal to bring Glennā€™s first principle approach to innovation back to our industry, something it has lacked since his shift to aviation,ā€ stated Curtiss CEO and co-founder Matt Chambers. ā€œThis historic collection of both early and late stage prototypes showcases our teamā€™s first principle approach to the new golden age of motoring. While each piece is of significant value in its own right, the body of work as a singularity will undoubtedly come to be considered a priceless collection of two-wheeled motoring history.ā€
