About Shandoka

A new way to build motorcycles

There are millions of motorcycles on the road in the United States. Our answer to their emissions is not to replace them — it is to rebuild them. The patented Shandoka retrofit system makes converting an existing gas motorcycle to electric drive both safe and affordable.

Creativity beats standardization

The best way to solve motorcycle emissions is to give individual builders room to match a style to a rider. No single factory design can do that. A smart system and human ingenuity can.

Built to be upgraded

The batteries we use today will look like old technology within a decade. That is the point. The platform is designed so your motorcycle takes the next generation of cells, controllers and cooling — your range improves instead of your bike becoming obsolete.

A home in Detroit

Our adapter hardware is made in house, and most of the components around it come from southeast Michigan. When you build with us you are supporting local builders and tradespeople in the city that put the world on wheels.
