FTN Motion sells first 100 Founder’s Edition Streetdogs

Start-up FTN Motion has sold out of its first 100 electric Streetdogs motorcycles, securing deposits to early adopters across New Zealand.

Co-founders Luke Sinclair, Kendall Bristow and Saskia Thornton managed to sell out of their pioneering electric motorbike in less than three months.

“People just love the design and there’s nothing out there like it,” Sinclair says.

The early adopters have been invited to become part of an exclusive group called the Founder’s Club and will be kept posted on the development of the motorbike and business along with access to priority slots for test drives.

Meanwhile, Sinclair and Bristow have started on their second round of research and development to the Streetdog prototype in their Lyall Bay workshop in Wellington.

”One of the main things we have been working on is refining the look of the bike, including improvements on the tank and body and going for an overall more organic feel,” Bristow says.

Improved seat comfort and riding position, a redesigned electric system, and a wider tyre from a more premium supplier are included.

“Release dates for subsequent bike editions will be announced after Beta unit production,” Thornton says.

“For now, anyone who is interested can sign up to our waitlist and we’ll notify them once dates are confirmed.”
