Damon's faired flagship, pitched at a memorable triple claim: 200 hp, 200 miles of range, 200 mph. Three numbers that have never met a road or a customer. As of 2025 no production bike had been built, the company was delisted from Nasdaq, and leadership resigned. Treat the whole spec sheet as unverified.
One of the most ambitious spec sheets in electric motorcycling, and one of the most cautionary tales. As of early 2025 no Hypersport Premier had been produced, despite an earlier 2024 target and years of reservations. The company delisted from Nasdaq in 2025, co-founders and executives departed, and the board resigned. The 200 / 200 / 200 triple is a claim for a non-shipping product, never road-tested.
What the flagship claims, what the physics would imply if it were real, and the company collapse that overrides every spec. All sourced.
Damon's faired flagship sportbike, pitched at around $40,000 to $45,000 with a memorable triple claim: 200 hp, 200 miles of range, 200 mph, plus the CoPilot safety suite and Shift adjustable ergonomics. None of those figures has been independently road-tested, because no production bikes exist. The company delisted from Nasdaq in 2025 and lost its co-founders and executives. We list it for completeness, not as a buying recommendation.
Start here. For now, the honest answer for almost everyone is the same.
We normally split this by rider type. For the Hypersport Premier the first question overrides the rest: can you buy one and ride it? As of May 2026, no.
The pitch is aimed squarely at you: a 200 mph faired electric flagship on Ohlins and Brembo hardware. But there is no bike to ride and no independent test. Every performance number is a claim only.
If you reserved one, this page is for you. Deposits remain unfulfilled; the company is delisted and under going-concern doubt. Review your reservation terms and Damon's filings.
If you want a fast electric sportbike you can actually own today, buy one that ships. The Premier is a catalog entry for the record, not a recommendation.
As a study in over-promising and collapse, the Premier is instructive. The 200 / 200 / 200 pitch was bold; the delivery never came.
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 features Damon built its story around, and why both are oversold when nothing has shipped.
Marquee safety and comfort claims mean little without real-world validation, and there is none here. Both flagship features remain unproven because the bike has never reached a single customer.
Damon's signature pitch: radar, multiple cameras, and other sensors said to track up to 64 moving objects around the bike, warning the rider through haptic handlebars and LED windscreen lights. A bold safety concept, unproven in any customer's hands.
⚠ Oversold (undelivered)Claims handlebars and footpegs that reconfigure between a committed sport position and an upright commuting stance. A headline feature for a bike that never reached production, so no one has confirmed it.
⚠ Oversold (undelivered)The pitch pairs a 20 kWh, liquid-cooled pack with a claimed 200 mph top speed on Ohlins suspension and Brembo brakes. The named components are real premium brands; 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. On a faired sportbike that is a genuine superbike figure. The conversion is fine; the problem is that no dyno has ever seen this motor in a customer bike.
The 200-mile claim pairs awkwardly with the 200 mph claim on the same spec sheet. 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 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, and speed makes it brutal. A faired bike ridden gently might sip ~85 to 95 Wh/mi; ridden anywhere near its claimed top speed it would burn far more, because drag rises with the square of speed. To even approach 200 miles you would have to ride very gently.
Charge time is just battery size divided by charger power. Damon has cited a fast-charge figure of around 45 minutes, but without a published charger wattage, the usual formula has a missing input.
Shopping references for the Premier, you will see confident numbers, multiple model years, and even occasional "in production" headlines. Here is how to read them when no production 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 |
| "200 mi range" | Best-case brochure claim; never independently measured. | unverified |
| "200 mph" | Top-speed claim; no production bike has been run to verify it. | claim only |
| "$40,000 / $45,000" | Claimed MSRP across sources; no retail transaction has occurred. | claimed price |
| "Production milestone" video | A 2024 demonstration / promo clip, not evidence of customer deliveries. | promo, not delivery |
| "Enters production / first customers" | 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 production bike to own.
On a normal report this is a full out-the-door table and a 5-year cost-to-own. For the Premier, 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 | $40,000–$45,000 | Range across sources over time; never transacted |
| Reservation deposit | unfulfilled | Deposits taken; no bike delivered, 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 Hypersport Premier. With the company delisted and operating with a skeleton team under going-concern doubt, the prospect of an OEM parts pipeline is highly 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 Premier 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 Premier 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 Hypersport Premier has never been produced for a customer or road-tested, so no real-world performance figure exists.
