Belgian electric motorcycle company Trevor Motorcycles revealed today that they are initiating a new Crowdcube campaign to aid in the expedited production launch of their eagerly awaited model, the Trevor DTRe Vince.
The production of the DTRe Vince is already guaranteed to begin, but Trevor is aiming to rapidly increase and expand production with the backing of investors to satisfy the rising global demand. This demand is driven by ongoing type approvals in the US and Canada and Trevor’s distribution growth to over 200 dealers in North America through a new partnership with Pinned Electric, beyond the current European network.
An electric motorcycle with an attitude
The Trevor DTRe Vince is a contemporary take on the traditional scrambler, featuring an advanced electric drivetrain. With its redesigned chassis, enhanced suspension, and more robust engine, the Vince is ideal for both city commutes and rugged off-road escapades. The motorcycle is lightweight, silent, and entirely emission-free.
Key features of the DTRe Vince:
- All-new 11kW electric drive with optimized torque (22kW peak EU / 30kW peak US)
- Lightweight frame of Italian origin
- Realistic range of 100 km on a single charge (WMTC will be much higher)

From inspiration to action
The idea to collaborate with Crowdcube emerged when (co-) CEO Jeroen-vincent Nagels took part in the Clean Mobility Valley innovation program in Limburg. During this time, he was inspired by a discussion with Arjan Voorbij, CEO of Kerv Automotive, who passionately shared the success of Cowboy, a Belgian e-bike brand that raised 7 million through Crowdcube and developed a robust community. “It became evident that Crowdcube is more than just a crowdfunding platform; it can also generate a movement around a brand,” Nagels remarks.
An investment in sustainable innovation
The Crowdcube campaign provides investors and motorcycle fans around the globe a chance to join Trevor Motorcycles in their quest to develop electric motorcycles that match the thrill of traditional petrol-powered ones.
Co-founder Philippe Stella states: “The DTRe Vince marks a significant move towards mass production. With North American type approvals and a new dealer network, we aim to accelerate our progress. Through Crowdcube, we’re not just expanding our capacity but also fostering an active community.”
