The arrival of electric motorcycles has allowed a major shift in this industry, There are now more startups dreaming up motorcycles than ever, and thanks to them, for the first time in ages, two-wheeled machines seem at times more appealing and more promising in design than cars.
It probably won’t be all that long until electric motorcycles become mainstream, and that also means we’ll have tons of custom garages popping up all over the place in no time, taking stock electric bikes and turning them into incredible creations.

Case in point, the Fuller 2029 Majestic, a one-off motorcycle shown for the first time in 2019. It’s impossible to say, but parts of this build were once on a Zero FXS, one of the still few electric motorcycles available for the masses.

The one-off bike is the work of a Georgia-based garage called Fuller Moto. These guys love working their magic on pure metal, and didn’t shy away from making the quirky-looking FXS be both a tribute to the past and a look into the future, to the year 2029.

Inspired by the interwar French Majestic motorcycle, the Fuller build is made in 3D-printed titanium, fully enclosing the underpinnings of the bike and the FXS drivetrain.

The FXS is not exactly at the peak of electric motoring. Its motors develop a peak torque of 78 lb-ft (106 Nm), and can only push the bike along at a speed of 85 mph (137 kph). On the other hand, the battery is good for a range of up to 50 miles (80 km).

The FXS was chosen for this build because it matches in size to the original 1929 Majestic. What resulted after the build, the 2029 Majestic, is one of a kind, and no production run is planned. It has originally been commissioned by the Haas Moto Museum and Sculpture Gallery in Dallas, Texas, where it can still be experienced first hand.
