When the Yamaha XS400 burst onto the bike scene in 1976, it was an instant classic. The small-capacity slimline cruiser provided the perfect bike for new riders seeking the thrill of the open road, or experienced riders looking for an easygoing chopper for a lazy cruise. Now, Shandoka motorcycles is giving new life to the XS400.
Shandoka has done the hard part and designed a battery and drive system that makes it easy to upgrade these electric motorcycles for years to come. You can put in a bigger battery, more powerful controller, go all the way with liquid cooling and chill plates.
Our shop partners know how to keep you safe with this much power. We aren't building e-bikes, these are street legal electric motorcycles. Check them out and you'll know it's time to order a Shandoka Cycle.
The Yamaha SECA 400 was a variation built for track and street performance - with a 6 speed transmission giving better mid-speed gear selection and a higher top end, and smaller front tire for nimble track response.
The electric retrofit solution from Shandoka makes this popular geometry into a modern electric motorcycle with boosted power and improved weight distribution.
