Derringer Cycles: Killing It with Style

Looking for a more economical way to get around town? Forget public transportation and get a Derringer Cycle instead. The stylish neo-classical interpretation of a 1920’s era board track racing motorcycle features a hybrid engine that achieves over 150 mpg. Famed industrial designer Adrian Van Anz created the moto-hybrid to fill the design gap between his Ducati and a Schwinn. And the result is a work of art distinguished by its handmade leather saddle seats with copper rivets, white tires, and gold or silver leaf Derringer logo.

Depending on your state’s regulations, Derringer will configure your bike to top out somewhere between 20-40 mph. So you’ll want to avoid the freeway, but at least you won’t need a motorcycle license to operate your Derringer Cycle. And despite the Derringer’s good looks, Van Anz designed the bike to take a beating on rough streets as well as function off road.

Derringer Cycles are available in a wide variety of custom options and cost about $3,500.
