Confederate Motorcycles Comes Under New Ownership

The Confederate Motorcycles brand, which was so far thought to have been rebranded as Curtiss Motorcycles Inc, has now been revived by venture capital fund Ernest Lee Capital. According to latest reports, the official website of Confederate Motorcycles has been updated with a number of new and pre-owned motorcycles, with the promise of re-introducing new versions of the Confederate Hellcat, Fighter and Wraith models. Ernest Lee Capital has announced that through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Confederate Motorcycles LLC, it has successfully acquired the intellectual property rights to the Confederate brands and designs.

Confederate Motorcycles LLC has now announced that the company will continue to sell the last remaining Confederate P-51 Combat Fighters and FA-13 Combat Bombers and will also begin production of its latest G3 Fighter.

"We are currently designing the next run of bikes that will each be available with a number of customer-selectable options," said Ernest Lee. "We personally did not want to see the Confederate brand disappear into the ether. We want to continue that tradition at Confederate; building innovative and original bikes that draw crowds everywhere they ride."

Confederate Motorcycles has plans to introduce an all-new Confederate Hellcat next year, with a newly designed Confederate Wraith to follow soon. Last year, Confederate Motorcycles was dissolved and the management of the company joined hands with electric motorcycle maker Zero Motorcycles to form a completely new brand, called Curtiss Motorcycles, which will only develop all-electric motorcycles in future. With the latest announcement by Ernest Lee, the Confederate Motorcycles brand will continue to live on, and also manufacture the radical, bespoke and exotic cruiser motorcycles it's known for.
