Shockwave Motors is disrupting the paradigm of sustainable urban mobility.

Defiant EV3 Electric Roadster

Shockwave Motors is a veteran owned, diverse, SAE certified, national and international motorcycle manufacturer. Our all-electric vehicles are designed specifically for the daily commuter and provide unprecedented charging convenience, along with an exhilarating driving experience, in vehicles that are safe, fun to drive, and very affordable.

What sets us apart from other EVs? We solve the problems of:
  • Range Anxiety
  • High Purchase Costs
  • Explosive Batteries
  • Limited and Expensive Charging Infrastructure
  • Excessive Carbon Footprint

    • The Defiant EV3 Electric RoadsterTM is a hardtop/convertible with seating for three people. It has a Passive Head-on Crash Avoidance DesignTM.  The battery is 1/4th the size of a typical EV battery and it's strategically located to allow easy access. The battery provides an ultralow center of gravity for superior stability, even under adverse driving conditions. The Roadster's standard battery has about a 100 mile range and recharges from a standard 120-volt outlet in about 8 hours, providing a daily range of up to 200 miles all this for about half the average price of a typlical electric car!

    Other Shockwave Motors EV's include the production ready ViperX Electric Sand Rail Dune Buggy TM and the Draco Sports TrikeTM.

    Shockwave Motors Named
    Most Disruptive Company of 2024

    In a groundbreaking announcement, Shockwave Motors was named by Exeleon Magazine as the Most Disruptive Company of 2024. This prestigious recognition comes on the heels of the successful launch of the ViperX Electric Sand Rail Dune Buggy TM, the first electric autocycle to be manufactured and registered in Tennessee. What sets Shockwave Motors apart from other electric vehicles in the market today is our commitment to creating EVs specifically designed for the daily commute. With a smaller, safer battery that can be recharged from any standard 120-volt outlet, our vehicles offer a practical and environmentally-friendly alternative to traditional transportation.
