About Peraves
Country of Origin:
Switzerland (operations also in Czech Republic)
Founder:
Arnold Wagner
Best Known For:
Enclosed cabin motorcycles (Ecomobile/Monotracer) with aerospace-level efficiency
Company History
Peraves spent decades perfecting the cabin motorcycle: streamlined, retractable-outrigger machines that blend car-like weather protection with two-wheel efficiency. The Ecomobile and later Monotracer used composite monocoques, aerodynamic shaping, and powerful engines to achieve high-speed stability and startling fuel economy. Piloting one is part rider skill, part aircraft procedure—preflight checks, balance management, and retractable supports at low speed. While volumes were tiny and prices high, the engineering proved a thesis: enclosure plus aerodynamics can transform energy use and comfort on long journeys. Historically, Peraves sits in the visionary lineage with Quasar and modern tilting concepts, showing how rethinking rider environment—wind, rain, noise—can redefine what a motorcycle is for. Owners become evangelists because the machines are both efficient and unforgettable to inhabit.
