Born in New Zealand

The FTN story began with two friends, Lukeand Kendall, in a New Zealand garage and a shared obsession: building the kind of electric motorbike they wished existed. Engineers Luke and Kendall wanted something different — a ride that blended simplicity, craftsmanship, and character into a category of its own.

What started as weekend tinkering on an old push bike became a full-blown passion project. Piece by piece, the Streetdog took shape: beautifully balanced, timeless in design, and engineered with a level of detail only two relentless blokes from down under could pour into it.

As word spread, the first riders came knocking. A handful of early beta bikes turned into a wave of pre-orders, and the small garage project grew into a dedicated workshop. To stay true to their vision of crafting each bike by hand, the team moved from Wellington to Hamilton and kept building, one Streetdog at a time.

Today, more than 250 Streetdogs are being ridden across Australia and New Zealand, each one a reminder of where it started: two friends, an idea, and a belief that the everyday ride could be something truly special.

Inspired by youthful exuberance

Welcome to the FTN Workshop

Meticulous craftsmanship and forward-thinking design lie at the heart of FTN. We're leading the automotive manufacturing resurgence in New Zealand, including partnering with local engineers and parts manufacturers when possible. Every Streetdog is then custom made according to your order and assembled by our team of technicians right here in Hamilton.

A more sustainable future

We believe progress lies in technological innovation, pushed forward by experimentation. From a home-made battery strapped to the BMX frame of our first prototype – all the way to our ultimate vision of building a brighter future. Meet the Streetdogs leading the charge:

1. Range is estimated and will vary based on tires, drive modes, Streetdog load, terrain and weather. The Streetdog includes a storage compartment, allowing you to carrying a second battery.

Our goal is to make electric motorbikes that compel commuters to trade their four wheels for two. By doing so, their commute will be faster, cheaper, cleaner and more enjoyable, which is a win win for people and the planet. Take a Streetdog for a spin to see what all the fuss is about.
