"Detroit" Randy | Electric 1929 Indian Four

This is Randy "Detroit" Hayward and his incredible 1929 Indian 4. Randy converted this motorcycle to run on ELECTRIC power, hence the name, THE ENDIAN. With help from some friends and some secret wizardry, they created the coolest EV on the planet.

This was so cool. I would pay to watch a documentary about this guy!

[@janairewhite9021]

He's such a great storyteller. This man is making great moves in the motorcycle world. Keep it up, "Detroit." 💪🏾🏍

[@Indian_Motorcycle]

Randy is the man!

[@tracythorleifson4108]

Super cool! But, c’mon, Indian - bring back the Four!

[@mehmetfozkan]

The color-matching with his jacket and bike! Fantastic!

[@kylestewart8354]

Absolutely love the biuld. Some people don't know how to live for the future. This guy isn't afraid. 👌 👏

[@gettinsomewind6384]

Not fitting the same mold as everyone else, is how creativity is born! Right on, for doing what excites you on two wheels! 😎💯👍

[@somewhatcompetent]

the comments are not passing the vibe check, the team did an amazing job here! love it! Either get on board or get outta the way!

[@amtrack1833]

I saw this bike at Mama Tried in Milwaukee last year. Seriously awesome and unforgettable.

[@19MAD95]

This is awesome. Imagine an electric Indian in that styling. Ohhhh boy that bring a tear to my eye

[@davideastburn8791]

Going green!

[@kimmy-suepinup3431]

Just awesome! Innovation at it's very best. With gas prices and emissions and so on, it's so important to think about Mother Earth. Thank you for keeping history alive and being innovative! Hats off to this guy! Would be honored to have a photo shoot with this rolling work of art and history! 💖🇺🇲 Just fabulous 💋

[@gasdive]

You know Indian is owned by Polaris, who bought the electric motorcycle company Brammo and then closed it.

[@user-Jon526]

That was amazing! I too am getting a motorcycle and Indian is my choice for a bike! Happy to watch this, this inspired me even more!

[@ericperry72]

I'm here in Detroit and it does my heart good to see Randy aka Detroit and year his store.

[@jamesdrescher3050]

Randy is a great man a true gentleman!❤

[@richardvalitalo3670]

I met this guy at sons of speed, very cool Randy.

[@OpenRoader]

I love this, top work

[@mikewoods6746]

I'm happy and sad about this bike, on one hand love the 4cyl and what it sounds like going down the road but on the other it's 21st century and probably a lot less wrenching. Personally I would miss the sound of those cylinders burning 🔥 gasoline . You picked a cool style of scooter. Congrats!

[@mg4elements]

This is so awesome!

[@TonyLUpchurch]

Awesome people in Detroit, That’s why I live here..

[@american236]

Haha. That’s CRAZY COOL 😎

[@jurgfreiherrvonhartmann]

I love the early Fours!

[@nakunda5259]

Remember the days dealerships had bikes in stock that you could go and buy... Man I remember those days... I'd love an indian scout bobber but it's unfortunate you have to wait 4 months to actually get your hands on one.

[@Comrade134]

Amazing.

[@warrensykes193]

Well done mate.

[@railroad7401]

I left when GM stumbled in the late 70s, early 80s. I'm a godamn yankee cuz I never left the south! I put up for adoption my 25 Big Chief, my pockets ain't deep enough. 49 Pan is the oldest thing I got.

[@savagewalker1able]

100 years from now my grandkids can take my vic and use solar or whatever the hell they gonna use then. As long as they keep my girl rollin

[@jeanclaude4317]

Very nice

[@Danny-fs1hk]

🤘

[@harryt140e]

How cool is that? 😁

[@ronniedeciantis1978]

Hope to see you at Sons of Speed this October, Cousin

[@harleycamper5577]

“Indian” always innovating 🤣

[@chrisb.1464]

Wow this guy is as we say in French "un homme selon mon cœur" (a man according to my heart). He likes tu use the tools that were used by the hands of his dad and grandpa! I know how it feels👍! His Endian is so beautiful! Just wondering what does he put in the gas-tank? The old Indian engine is still there (but not the kick-starter😅as useful as the tank and the 4-cylinder engine😂) for the (great!) original look🤩.

[@northerniltree]

Dude. Y'all got a 4-cylinder engine on that bike. Make it go with dat.

[@DrDiff952]

So does this mean Indian is going to release an inline 4?

[@richardvalitalo3670]

I'm in for a roadmaster4

[@therecanbeonlyonechris5019]

Really needs to be done if Indian actually wants to stop following in Harley's footsteps and establish their own modern legacy

[@gmo1203]

313 all day 🤞🏾💙☕

[@DailyDrivenBikes_1]

Nash even had a plant in Detroit.

[@randymillsjr.1730]

There is no replacement for displacement with sound

[@drewbagin4507]

Randy, Is that T-Bones chassis??

[@ScooterBumMotorcycleDiaries]

That is T-Bones chassis. I miss T-Bone so much. He was one of my biggest supporters. He always encouraged me to go after whatever I was dreaming!! Man, I sure miss him

[@gasdive]

As a company Polaris bought Brammo to close it, now you're advertising your petrol motorcycles with an electric conversion. Bit of a cheek.

[@molallamerica896]

Electric🤦‍♂️ Defeats the point of riding.

[@oikkuoek]

Electric starter or a 12 volt system mods I could've accepted, but this mobility scooter hack is sacrilige. If you want to drive a mobility scooter, then drive one. Put some mirrors on, a sticker here and there, nice paint/wrap, shiny wheels or whatever, but if you want to ride a classic, then you'll need the knowledge and skills to be able to. That's how you truly respect your roots, the history. By learning the skills they had. Not by hoarding their stuff or dressing up like a cartoon character

[@therecanbeonlyonechris5019]

Build an Indian 4, something other than v twins. Stop following Harley Davidson and build your own modern legacy

[@MadKingJorge]

You're doing it wrong.

[@robbie7574]
