: Could you tell us and our readers a little bit about yourself?
Jesús de Juan Montoya
: As a young boy, I started to tinker with motorcycles. I think I was 14 years old, if not younger when I was tightening screws and regulating my carburetor. My passion for motorcycles grew and continued to grow throughout my childhood. Thanks to my family supporting my dream, in 1996 I started my first motorcycle business in Melilla, selling important brands such as Ducati and Harley-Davidson - that was 25 years ago.
As I mentioned earlier, my passion isn't just for the machines. I love riding my motorcycles. In 2008, 2009 and 2010, I and another 100 motorcyclists toured with Raid through Morocco. The experience was unforgettable.
Additionally I love to modify my motorcycles. My favourite bikes to modify to date have been the H-D 1200 Cup and the Royal Enfield Green Fly. Both have gained international recognition. They have opened the door to a niche in the market of bike manufacturers in Spain.
Evoke Motorcycles : With such a diverse background in gas motorcycles, why have you chosen electric motorcycles as your new adventure? Jesús de Juan Montoya: I saw the direction that the world of the electric motorcycle was going. Over a number of years, I became interested and started gathering information and learning about different brands. When the time was right, I decided to launch my business.

In terms of automotive there may be a handful of principles that determine the overall form and componentry present on a vehicle. Inescapable is physics, aspirational is performance but as another 20th century icon dictated, there's no escaping the bottom line and in manufacturing that means a need to establish and maintain a lean operational footprint.
