About Damon
Country of Origin:

Founder:
Jay Giraud & Dom Kwong
Best Known For:
High-tech electric sportbikes (Hypersport) with adaptive ergonomics and safety tech
Company History
Damon announced an ambitious EV superbike platform promising long range, fast charging, and proprietary safety layers like proximity awareness and adjustable ergonomics that transform the riding position on the fly. The thesis: combine superbike performance with everyday usability and situational awareness that gives riders more time to react. Pre-order buzz centered on a clean-sheet chassis and software-first approach to thermal and power management. While production timelines drew scrutiny as the company scaled up, Damon’s broader impact is pushing the conversation toward rider-assist intelligence and human-machine adaptability on two wheels. Historically, it underscores a trend: next-gen motorcycles are as much about sensing, software, and UX as motors and frames.
