Our Journey
The Michael Blast brand evolved through a group of friends from distant parts of the globe, joining forces to create a truly unique and affordable range of vintage inspired electric bicycles.
Our #LifeStyle range has been heavily inspired by some of history's timeless masterpieces… the classic 1920s board tracker. ..the 1970s Yamaha Chappy, Café Racer… and countless more.
Our multicultural team stretches from our roots here in Australia through to France, USA, Canada and Hungary.
It’s safe to say we had an absolute blast creating our new #LifeStyle range of electric bicycles. Together our aim was to use our cultural diversity to really bring out the best in our unique designs.
We wanted to push the boundaries and go beyond the stereotypical retro/vintage styles and really showcase a diverse range of high-quality products that looked funky and fresh but also channeled our riders cool free spirit.
Retro, Vintage, Cool.
All around the world we interpret retro, vintage, cool and hipster in so many different ways and as a team this knowledge really inspired us to not only envision our final products but really think about our customers and their unique individuality as they are riding.
To be different is a beautiful thing, and we are proud to embrace this throughout our entire Michael Blast range.
It doesn’t matter whether you are chasing the waves on Australia’s Sunny Coast, cruising the big city lights of Toronto, or exploring all that Italy has to offer, whatever your #Lifestyle, Michael Blast has got you covered.
The Greaser: A Complete Throwback
Getting onto the Greaser is like stepping back into the 1920’s, it’s a complete throwback to the era of “Great Gatsby” when the Board Tracker Racer style motorcycles were most popular. The era of sequin, fringe and beaded trims, flapper style, skullcaps, pork-pie and fedora hats.
Greaser has been specifically designed to draw the eye to the beauty of the bike and away from the battery and controller, which are hidden away in the custom-designed, aerodynamic mid-section sleek case.
This unique electric bike has that special look of a vintage, antique motorcycle meanwhile being incredibly modern and up to date. This bike will get you noticed and you’ll be the envy of every cyclist in town.
