This picture may not look thrilling, but to us, it’s an exciting, beautiful scene. You see, this MSTR was being strapped down at a certified EPA/CARB test lab to run 14 hours a day, every day to demonstrate compliance with Uncle Sam’s emissions regulations. Once the testing is done, reports get submitted to the governing bodies and then…..we await the final approvals to begin shipping motorcycles.
Motus is coming. Thank you for your support!
Bruce Edmiston speaks out. After 22 years/500k+ miles of testing for a large Milwaukee-based motor company, we were proud to welcome Bruce Edmiston aboard to lead a rigorous street testing program for Motus. Bruce’s experience has been invaluable and his ability to pile on miles is uncanny. Click the image to hear his thoughts on riding a Motus day in/day out.
