ABOUT ONYX MOTORS

Born from Passion. Built for Expression.

ONYX Motors isn’t just a brand; it's a movement. Founded by Tim Seward in 2016, ONYX was created with one vision in mind: to bring the thrill and power of classic motorbikes into the electric era. What started as a personal project quickly became something bigger—a powerful expression of individuality and freedom on two wheels.


Our story began with a single prototype, attracting attention at every stoplight and prompting countless riders to ask, “Where can I get one?” This enthusiasm led to our first launch on Indiegogo in 2018, where ONYX exceeded expectations and sparked a new chapter in electric motorbiking. We designed bikes that don’t just get you from point A to B—they’re a testament to your unique style, crafted with a timeless aesthetic that turns heads and leaves an impression.

The ONYX Experience

Over the years, the ONYX RCR has become a cultural icon. With a café racer-inspired design and high-performance electric power, the RCR embodies the freedom to explore and the thrill of the ride.

In December 2024, we introduced the ONYX RCR LTD—our most premium build yet. With only 100 units released, it featured holographic panels, numbered edition plates, and a 45Ah battery—our biggest to date. The LTD is now officially sold out.

Introducing the ONYX RCR 72V

We’ve taken everything riders loved about the RCR LTD and made it standard. The ONYX RCR 72V matches the power, performance, and specs of the LTD, featuring the same 45Ah battery, 55+ mph top speed, and up to 120 miles of range. It’s everything the LTD offered—minus the holographic panels and collector numbering—now available in a clean silver finish.

Order yours now while supplies last. Inventory is limited, and once they're gone, the next restock won’t land until after summer.

Our Vision

At ONYX, we believe that a bike is more than a mode of transportation—it’s an extension of who you are. Our mission is to blend vintage style with modern technology, giving riders a one-of-a-kind experience that combines speed, power, and elegance. Each ONYX model is designed to be customized, modified, and truly made your own.
