Massow Concept Cycles

About Massow Concept Cycles

In March 2006 through a friend, Barend acquired 2 iconic Leaper Mascots which had previously graced the forecourt of a Jaguar dealership.

The iconic Jaguar moulds used to stand proudly on top of every Jaguar Car dealership as a symbol of quality and sophistication. By chance, one of the Massow designs was based on the old Jaguar logo.

So with the Jaguar in mind, Barend set about transforming his paper vision into a working reality. 3 years later, with expert help from Polar Cycles, the Jaguar motorbike was finally completed and Massow Concept Cycles was founded.

The Jaguar Motorcycle had its debut in 2008 at the Bulldog Biker Bash in Swindon UK and has since received much attention worldwide having been featured in The Daily Mail, The Sunday Times (South Africa) and BBC News 24.

His collection of drawings takes in the likes of Audi, Ferrari, Bentley Rolls Royce, Coke Cola and many more. Currently with the London Olympics on their way, his Hybrid Electric version will also come to fruition.

The latest edition to form part of the collection is designed to represent a Charging Bull. Some have likened it to the Red Bull image, however The Chicago Bull Mascot also comes to mind. By merely changing the colour, the machine can represent many individual companies. (Merrill Lynch in New York, The Bull Stoke Exchange, Lamborghini etc.)

Barend states:

"These concepts are my artistic representation of the logos and in no way do I wish to deface or ridicule them. I am just showing that it's possible to use each logo in a unique way and to incorporate them into a functional piece of machinery."
