The Electric Dream: Sinecycles X Mellow Boards

Imagine riding on the open road with a Motorcycle, but it’s quiet. Instead of a loud engine you hear wind and you feel the sun.

Like the performance of the Zero, but have some issues with the style of the bikes?  Swiss builder Bruno Forcella feels the same way – though, Forcella’s motivation may have been more about simply loving the choppers.  So much so, that he started up SineCycles, and put together a pretty unique custom build with some serious attention to finish and detail.
