About Black Tea Motorbikes

Founded in 2020, Black Tea Motorbikes merges classic motorcycle design with sustainable electric mobility. The startup specializes in lightweight electric motorcycles modeled after “Café Racers.” All production and assembly takes place in Bavaria, in close collaboration with their own rider community.

Sourcing Complex Metal Parts Efficiently

To build their motorcycles, Black Tea Motorbikes relies on precision sheet metal parts, frame components, and structurally critical assemblies. These parts must meet exacting design requirements and offer mechanical stability—yet be available on-demand, tailored to the production schedule. With limited internal resources, managing manufacturing in-house or through a network of small suppliers wasn’t feasible.

Instant Quotes, Precision Manufacturing, and Streamlined Ordering

Working with Xometry as their manufacturing partner, Black Tea Motorbikes uploaded all CAD files directly to the platform and received a reliable, instant quote—including price, lead time, and feasibility. Parts were ordered in small batches of 20 units, precisely aligned with their assembly timeline. Even intricate components requiring multiple bends and meeting tight design tolerances were produced cost-effectively.
