That will come in the form of an equity crowdfunding charge to allow retail investors and customers to join in their growth journey . After making New Zealand history with a production run of 100 motorbikes and reinstating the type of automotive manufacturing not seen on our shores since the 90s , Wellington electric motorcycle disruptor FTN Motion is scaling up local assembly capacity as well as preparing to enter Australia and Europe , backed solidly by investors who have been on board with FTN ’ s mission since their first capital raise in 2021 . Now , after unprecedented demand from customers and others outside of the wholesale investor criteria , a retail raise through investment platform Equitise , with a target of $ 3 million , is opening , giving everyday investors the opportunity to be part of taking a unique Kiwi innovation to the world stage . FTN Motion has gone from a single prototype of its Streetdog motorcycle to full production in the space of just two years . The Streetdog is creating a new category of design-led urban motorcycles that appeal to commuters who want to escape the mundane and reduce their daily emissions , says co-founder Luke Sinclair . “ We ’ re on a mission to reduce congestion and decarbonise the commute . We want to accelerate the transition to emissionsfree transport and help NZ achieve our net zero carbon emissions goals by 2050 , so we ’ ve built an urban riding machine that
