Ristretto builds electric motorbikes that look like the kind of bikes you'd see in a 1970s European café racer museum. Wood panels, brushed metals, leather saddles — and motors that have no business being in something that pretty.

These are not mass-production bikes. Each Ristretto is assembled with care, and the price tag reflects that. The 512 and 303 FS are the models we see most often, and both deliver real performance — tight handling, crisp throttle response, and build quality that doesn't drop a screw in the first month.

Because these bikes sit at the Class-3 / light-moto line, we'll walk you through exactly what's legal to ride where, and help you decide if Ristretto is the right choice for the roads you actually use.
