A 200 hp electric streetfighter that exists on slides and press releases, from a company delisted from Nasdaq in 2025 with no customer motorcycle ever delivered. We list it because it is part of the electric-moto story, not because you can buy one. Every spec here is an unverified claim.
One of the most ambitious spec sheets in electric motorcycling, attached to a company in deep distress. Damon has delivered no customer bikes since 2019, was delisted from Nasdaq in July 2025, and its CEO, CFO, and board have resigned. Treat the 200 hp, the 150-mile range, and the sub-3-second 0 to 60 as claims for a product that has never been independently tested.
What the bike claims, what the physics would imply if it were real, and the company collapse that overrides every spec. All sourced.
On paper, a 200 hp naked electric streetfighter promised around $35,000 to $40,000 with Damon's CoPilot safety suite and Shift adjustable ergonomics. In reality, a pre-production project, not a product you can buy and ride. Damon has built no customer bikes, was delisted from Nasdaq in July 2025, and lost its CEO, CFO, and board. Admire the renders, keep your money, and judge Damon by what it ships, which so far is nothing.
Start here. For now, the honest answer for almost everyone is the same.
We normally split this by rider type. For the Colossus the splitting question comes first: can you buy one and ride it? As of May 2026, no.
The pitch is aimed at you: a 200 hp naked with Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes in the renders. But there is no bike to ride, no road test, and no delivery date that has held. The performance is a claim only.
If you reserved one, this whole page is for you. Reservations were described as refundable; the company is delisted and under going-concern doubt. Review your terms and Damon's filings.
If you want a fast electric streetfighter you can actually own today, buy one that ships. The Colossus is a catalog entry for the historical record, not a recommendation.
As a case study in over-promising and corporate collapse, it is genuinely instructive. The technology pitch was bold; the execution never arrived.
Normally the struck line is the brochure and the big number is reality. Here both columns are claims, because there is no measured reality to report.
The two features Damon built its story around, and why both are oversold when nothing has shipped.
Both marquee features are compelling pitches. Both are unproven, because a safety or comfort system is only as good as its real-world track record, and there is no track record at all.
Damon's headline pitch: a radar and camera advanced-warning system claimed to track moving objects around the bike and warn the rider via haptic handlebars and LED windscreen lights. Compelling on paper, unproven in any customer's hands.
⚠ Oversold (undelivered)Claims handlebars and footpegs that reconfigure between a sport and an upright riding position. A headline feature for a bike that has not reached production, so no one has confirmed it works as shown.
⚠ Oversold (undelivered)The renders show a 20 kWh pack in a monocoque frame on Ohlins and Brembo hardware. The components named are real-world premium brands, but the integration has never been validated on a shipping bike.
⚠ UnverifiedWe run the same physics on every bike. Here the inputs are claims, so the math shows what the numbers would imply if the bike were real, not a verified result.
Damon quotes 200 hp, which equals roughly 149 kW. That is a serious figure for a streetfighter. The catch is not the conversion, it is that no dyno has ever seen this motor in a customer bike.
Damon's page claims up to 150 miles; some earlier listings cited about 146 miles in combined mode. We can show the energy math, but the consumption input is unknown, so this is illustration, not a verified range.
Step 1, energy in the pack. Damon publishes a 20 kWh capacity but, unlike a Sur-Ron or a Zero, does not publish the nominal voltage and amp-hours. So we cannot do the usual V × Ah split; we work from the kWh directly.
Step 2, consumption is the unknown. A faired tourer might sip ~85 to 110 Wh/mi; a naked streetfighter ridden hard burns far more, and drag rises with the square of speed. Damon has not published a verified consumption figure, so the range below is a span, not a number.
Charge time is just battery size divided by charger power. Damon has cited a fast-charge figure, but without a published charger wattage, the usual formula has a missing input.
If a roughly 45-minute fast charge were real on a 20 kWh pack, the implied charger would be very high power. We can show the relationship, but we cannot verify it:
Shopping references for the Colossus, you will see confident numbers and even multiple model-year listings. Here is how to read them when no unit exists.
| You will see | What it really is | Trust it? |
|---|---|---|
| "200 hp / ~149 kW" | Claimed peak. No continuous rating published, no dyno on a customer bike. | claim only |
| "150 mi" or "146 mi" | Brochure / combined-mode claim. Listings disagree because none was measured. | unverified |
| "20 kWh battery" | Capacity claim. V and Ah split not published, so cannot be checked. | do the math, partly |
| "$35,000 to $40,000" | Claimed MSRP range across sources. No retail transaction has occurred. | claimed price |
| "2022 / 2026 model year" | Spec databases carry multiple years for a bike that never reached production. | no production |
| "In production / delivery 2026" | Per SEC filings, the bike is at prototype stage; no customer unit delivered. | not shipping |
There is no out-the-door price and no 5-year math, because there is no bike to own. Here is what is actually known.
On a normal report this is a full out-the-door table and a 5-year cost-to-own. For the Colossus, a full breakdown is still impossible: no dealer price, no freight, no tax basis, no warranty, and no owner cost data exist.
| Line item | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Claimed MSRP | $35,000–$40,000 | Range across Damon and spec sources; never transacted |
| Reservation deposit | refundable (claimed) | ~3,000 reservations, reported ~$100M, per filings |
| Freight / setup / tax | unknown | No retail channel to quote from |
| Insurance / registration | unknown | No VIN-eligible production unit |
| 5-year maintenance | unknown | No owners, no service history |
| Resale value | unknown | No secondary market for a bike that does not exist |
There is no ownership to report. There are no owners.
We normally summarize owner-reported themes. There is no owner data here, so we report what the public record (SEC filings and established moto press) shows instead.
A bike is only as ownable as its parts supply. Here there is none.
There is no production, no dealer network, and no established parts or service channel for the HyperFighter Colossus. With the company delisted and operating with a skeleton team under going-concern doubt, the prospect of an OEM parts pipeline is, charitably, uncertain. If you are holding a deposit, this is the section to reread.
| Part category | Availability | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| OEM parts (battery, motor) | none | No production bike to supply |
| Dealer service network | none | No dealers |
| Aftermarket support | none | No installed base |
| Warranty | unconfirmed | Company viability in doubt |
One scorecard, identical axes on every bike. The Colossus is scored on what is verifiable, which is little.
Every e-moto on the site is scored on these same eight axes. A product you cannot buy, service, or trust to be delivered scores low on almost all of them, by definition.
Our standing methodology, run identically on every e-moto, including concepts we can only run partly because the inputs are claims.
The only honest way to compare two batteries. Damon publishes 20 kWh but not the V and Ah split, so this step is partial here.
You never use 0 to 100%. The BMS holds a reserve and voltage tapers at the bottom. We assume ~88%.
Consumption is the lever and is unpublished here, so any range figure for the Colossus is an estimate, not a measurement.
Always ask which number a spec quotes. Damon publishes a 200 hp peak but no continuous rating.
"Fast charging" is meaningless without the charger's wattage, which Damon does not publish for a production bike.
| Cost assumption | We used | Why it cannot run here |
|---|---|---|
| Annual mileage | 1,500 mi/yr (7,500 / 5 yr) | No bike to ride, so no mileage to cost |
| Electricity rate | $0.17 / kWh (US avg) | No verified consumption to apply it to |
| Sales tax | ~8% | No retail transaction occurs |
| Battery life | No replacement in 5 yr | No pack in customer use to age |
| Resale | ~50% of MSRP at yr 5 | No secondary market exists |
We cite everything and date it, because specs, prices and company status change. Manufacturer figures are labeled as claims; there are no independent road-test results to report. Spot an error? Our corrections policy means we fix it in public.
Sources retrieved May 2026. Manufacturer pages state claimed specs; treat them as marketing figures, not independent tests. The HyperFighter Colossus has never been built for a customer or road-tested, so no real-world performance figure exists.
