About us

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. 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. 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. And for those seeking something truly special, we’re introducing the ONYX RCR LTD—an exclusive, limited-edition model crafted with unmatched quality and performance, representing the very best of what we’ve ever released. Join the ONYX Community Our riders are more than customers; they’re part of the ONYX family. Whether you're modifying your bike, joining our rideouts, or simply cruising the streets, ONYX riders share a common bond—a love for the road, a taste for adventure, and a passion for self-expression. Join us at our showroom in LA, follow us online, and be part of the journey.

  • 50 days ago, we relaunched ONYX. The response has been incredible, and today, we’re down to just 6 ONYX RCR LTD units left in stock. The LTD model is a true collector’s edition, featuring: ✔️ Holographic panels ✔️ Numbered edition sticker (1-100) ✔️ Certificate of authenticity ✔️ Our largest battery yet: 45Ah Once these last six sell out, that’s it. The next restock in May 2025 will not be LTD models, but instead feature our classic silver panels with the same powerful battery. For those who want their RCR LTD shipped within the week, now’s your last chance. Grateful to all the new riders who’ve joined our growing ONYX community, and excited to welcome even more in the months ahead. We’re back with a mission—and we’re just getting started. ⚡🚀 Get yours: https://lnkd.in/dNt_n3mZ #ONYX #ONYXRCRLTD #ONYXRCR #ElectricMotorbike
