The hand-built bikes are designed in the UK and distributed in collaboration with D&D Electric, the eco-friendly e-vehicle manufacturer based in Coulsdon, Surrey.

They are said to make getting to work as “much fun as driving a F1 car - or nearly as much fun”. The bikes, which carry the same trademark yellow livery as his Jordan Grand Prix F1 cars in the 1990s and early 2000s, will be sold to raise money for The Amber Foundation, a British charity that supports homeless young people and for which Jordan is patron.
