Badass Machines is where electric power meets real-world performance, bold design, and a love for what’s next.
We’re not here for boring bikes and polite gear guides. We’re here for powerful rides, practical upgrades, and honest conversations about what it means to ride electric today. From e-bikes and mopeds to scooters and DIY builds, this is a space for people who think transport should be a thrill — not a chore.
What We’re About
Badass Machines is a multi-author blog and community for riders, builders, commuters, and anyone who’s ever looked at a machine and thought, “I can make that better.”
Some of us care about torque and top speed. Others care about range, value, and whether the saddle hurts after 20 minutes. But all of us believe in the freedom and fun that electric machines can offer — especially when you find the right one, make it your own, and ride it like you mean it.
What We Cover
We publish a mix of:
- Hands-on reviews of e-bikes, scooters, gear, and accessories
- Modding tips, DIY projects, and upgrade guides
- News from across the electric vehicle world — what’s new, what’s coming, and what matters
- Curated content – we dig through the noise to find the most interesting stories, builds, and trends
- Opinion pieces and personal stories from people who ride, build, and push the limits
- Everyday insights on safety, performance, commuting, and living electric
Whether you’re deep into the details or just want a better way to get around, there’s something here for you.
