The last card in the castle that Damon Motorcycles had become has fallen. After months of turbulence, broken promises and resignations, nothing remains of the electric motorcycle that was going to revolutionize the world of two wheels.
After the resignation of the “startup” leadership a few weeks ago, and not knowing with certainty what was going to happen to the project, we now know that not even the website remains. It was, perhaps, the last tie that held the hope that the promises made could come to fruition and today it is closed.
So behind us is an era in which illusion was far above reality, and where promises were never really developed outside of paper. But the situation is more complex because, in the meantime, there has been a large movement of capital that some sources place close to 75 million wasted dollars.
Damon Motorcycles: big numbers and the only big number it has reached is the thousands of people affected
Let us remember that Damon Motorcycles’ promise was to create an electric sports car capable of reaching 320 km/h top speed, 200 HP and an average range of 320 kilometers. Again, too good to be true.
Even so, the worst thing is not that we have been left without the development of a project that promised to revolutionize everything. The worst thing is that since the brand was founded in 2016, there have been more than 3,000 customers who have made pre-reservations for a motorcycle that will never exist.
Yes, because today the reality is that only the profiles on social networks remain and everything else has disappeared. Some profiles that, in any case, have not been updated for two years, showing that this bankruptcy was something that had been brewing for some time…
