Welcome to Matus1976's Akira Bike Project - Building a fully functional high performance recumbent motorcycle inspired by Kaneda's ride in "Akira"

In 2012 I launched a Kickstarter Campaign in an attempt to raise enough money to finish my prototype. Ultimately it was unsuccessful, but it did get attention from a Seattle based motorcycle engine manufacturer, which offered me a motor, and ultimately a job to help launch a new brand of bikes. I accepted, sold most of my stuff and moved cross country.

 

Unfortunately the owner changed his mind about that endeavor and the future of the company.  A roller coaster ride ensued and I am now co-owner of that company as we try to rebuild it after another move and high employee turnover.

 

I finally have a new shop setup and access to a CNC, but also another full time Job.

Check out my Kickstarter Project here. Though it has now ended
