Most recently the Chief Consumer Officer for PADI (the world’s largest scuba diving organization) powersports industry executive and lifelong enthusiast Andy Leisner has surfaced back in the saddle as CEO for Rawrr eMoto. After racing motocross as an amateur and a career as a pro roadracer came to a close, Leisner later worked in powersports racing-series/event management, off-road/street/UTV media (including being the publisher of Cycle World during its heyday), OEM management, market-expansion strategy, and served three terms on the Motorcycle Industry Council Board of Directors as well as chairing the MIC Aftermarket Committee.
This isn’t Leisner’s first rodeo In the EV space as he was CEO for the launch of Texas-based VOLCON 100% electric off-road powersports company through the summer of 2021. “Seems like my career trajectory has perfectly aligned with the launch of Rawr,” he adds. But what exactly is a Rawrr?
“Rawrr eMoto manufactures and sells electric off-road motorcycles in the rapidly growing lightweight segment," he explains. “The first Rawrr model and the flagship of the brand—the Mantis—is a powerful, capable off-road motorcycle powered by a 9 kW motor and 2.1 kwh Samsung-cell battery. While performance is its nature, the 160-lb Mantis is also easy to ride for anyone new to motorcycling with its adjustable ride modes, suspension and controls.”
