The partnership between Damon and Auteco aims to develop, manufacture and distribute premium electric motorcycles designed for the region, with the Damon HyperSport as the flagship opening.
Damon Motors announced today a strategic alliance with Auteco Mobility, Colombia’s 12 year leader in motorcycles, to bring the Damon HyperSport electric motorcycles to the Latin American market. In addition to that, the two companies join forces for sales and support of Damon-branded motorcycles, with development and manufacturing of new Damon products specifically designed for Latin American markets.
The flagship Damon HyperSport superbike will be the lead motorcycle delivered, and additional development of more products will follow, as the companies create dedicated models that suit the needs of local riders.
In addition to sharing the vision of electric mobility, the companies share the vision of safety. Auteco plans to license aspects of Damon’s CoPilot™ safety technology, and put it to great use in their own Victory (ICE) motorcycles. The Damon CoPilot system is the first adaptive 360 degree safety warning system.

Damon’s CoPilot™ safety system:
With the plan to develop and manufacture additional models, specifically lighter powered electric 2-wheelers, fully equipped with the technology and connectivity features of the HyperSport. So far we know Damon motorcycles as Superbikes, and it would be highly interesting to see what lighter powered model they will come up with in the future.
