The role will be from the start of December through to the end of February, with the possibility of additional work.

We're all about delivering the highest quality bikes for getting around town. To help achieve this, we've started testing Streetdog performance with the crew at BRM DYNO in Paeroa, New Zealand. Their dynamometer offers a consistent testing environment to measure key performance metrics, including power, torque, range, and temperature across various components of the Streetdog. Combined with on-road testing, this data gives our engineering team deeper insights into performance and identifies areas for gain. This process has been valuable in the development of the new Streetdog80, which is in the final stages of iteration before production gets underway. It’s also a unique experience for the BRM DYNO team, who typically test loud race bikes that produce strong fumes and high heat in their confined dynamometer chamber. For us, however, they keep the doors open and the earmuffs off!

Here’s a sneak peek of the very first Midnight Blue Streetdog being assembled 🐶 Like all future Streetdogs, it features a reworked frame design for greater stability and handling. The major enhancement here is new end-to-end top tubes that boost stiffness. Previously, top tubes connected to a single body tank reinforced with fiberglass to support load-bearing. With the new top tube design, this reinforcement is no longer necessary. The side panels and tank top are now separate components, resulting in simpler assembly, customisation, and servicing. Plus, it still offers 30 liters of storage space inside, while allowing direct access to the motor controller when the side panels are removed. #FTNMotion #ElectricMotorcycle
