Western Reserve Historical Society: LAND Moto And Cleveland CycleWerks Gift Motorcycles To The Western Reserve Historical Society

Press release from the Western Reserve Historical Society:

August 30, 2021

In March 2020, Cleveland CycleWerks announced their newest technological advances with the launch of the Falcon 01 and Falcon BLK. In 2021, their founder Scott Colosimo spun off this new concept into LAND Moto, refreshing the name of this platform to the District. LAND Moto is focused on a distributed energy platform and E Motos, they are local to Cleveland and manufacturing in the U.S.A.. With the growth of the LAND brand, it signals Scott’s desire to build LAND’s technology and manufacturing base in Cleveland. This platform represent 10 years of consumer insight, deep industry knowledge, and a unique take on the market that Scott has always had. A cross between a bike, moped and motorcycle LAND call it an E Moto.

Scott Colosimo, founder of Cleveland CycleWerks and LAND Moto explained, “We are no longer bound by the physical constraints of internal combustion. Our platform grows with the rider as their skill and desire for speed increases, it was not possible to bridge the gap with gas, so we are building the electric business under the LAND brand.”

The District represents LAND’s entry into the e mobility and distributed energy space. These vehicles represent a shift in focus from high-volume vehicles to lower-volume, carefully crafted product, and U.S.-based manufacturing. With a localized footprint, LAND is able to vertically integrate in the U.S., enabling them to be more self-reliant and independent. Colosimo says, “The team wants to focus on higher craft, innovative materials, and advanced manufacturing techniques while focusing on the distributed energy platform.

The District will fit into several different categories from E-Bicycle to E-Motorcycle. These vehicles can be digitally customized to fit in several different classes with no physical changes needed; a shift from physical changes to digital makes updates to the vehicle possible even after it is in the consumers hands.

Colosimo formally gifted The Heist record bike, an Ace Scrambler, a Misfit, and a LAND District all-electric bike to the Western Reserve Historical Society at the grand opening of the Year of the Motorcycle, August 19th. The bikes are now on display as part of the exhibit “A Century of the American Motorcycle”.
