How did Confederate become Curtiss?
Chambers founded Confederate Motorcycles in the early 1990s and helped create a catalog of unapologetically unconventional machines, including the Hellcat lineage. Decades later, the company changed direction, becoming Curtiss Motorcycles and committing to electric power.
What makes the Curtiss 1 distinctive?
The Curtiss 1 is the clearest expression of that transition: a bespoke electric motorcycle designed as much like an object of industrial art as transportation. Curtiss lists 110 hp initial peak power, up to 147.5 lb-ft of torque and highly adjustable geometry and ergonomics.
What design philosophy carries through?
Chambers carries a recognizable design philosophy from combustion motorcycles into electric machines.
