The challenge

The challenge

A new electric motorcycle, no dealers yet, and a launch date already announced.

Arkel needed riders to understand the bike, spec it and book a test ride online, without a showroom to fall back on.

Our approach

Our approach

A launch site that sells the ride, and a configurator the engineers signed off line by line.

Next.js with Sanity for the content, a real-time configurator for colour, battery and seat, and test-ride booking tied to the regional calendar.

The live site

Desktop and phone, exactly as Arkel customers see them.

They built a configurator that our engineers trust and our customers actually finish. Launch week was the quietest week we had.”
