In recent years, the vehicle industry has seen a palpable shift towards sustainable electric options to include electric motorcycles. But while many manufacturers are focusing on futuristic designs, there’s a growing demand for bikes that combine modern technology with vintage aesthetics. According to a recent study, electric motorcycle sales will grow from $31.5 to $57.44 billion in the next five years. Amidst this backdrop, Old Soren Motorcycle Co. stands out with its unique blend of old-school charm and cutting-edge technology.
