Onyx RCR 80V: Built to Last, Not Landfill

The Onyx RCR 80V merges motorcycle-level performance with BMX-like agility, challenging the trend of disposable electronics. Founder Tim Seward, with a background in industrial design, established Onyx with the goal of creating durable electric machines.

The RCR 80V is engineered for longevity and customization, aiming to be repairable and maintainable for decades. Its design incorporates modern features such as CarPlay and cruise control, alongside a remarkably quiet electric motor, distinguishing it from typical electric vehicles.

Seward emphasizes a commitment to reducing waste, envisioning products that endure like classic mopeds, rather than becoming landfill. Onyx also focuses on building a supportive rider community through events and shared knowledge, fostering a sense of ownership beyond the initial purchase.

While the bike's performance, quiet operation, and user-friendly features are notable, long-term support for components like the battery remains a consideration for potential buyers.
