Moto Cycles
What “MotoCycles” means (and why it slaps)
Moto = movement + motorcycles. In Italian, moto literally means motion, and in music “con moto” means “with energy.” It’s also everyday shorthand for a motorcycle in multiple languages. Cycles comes from the Greek kyklos—wheel, circle, loop—aka anything that rolls or repeats.
Put them together and you get MotoCycles: a name that signals speed, wheels, and the new loop of how Gen Z rides—from gas bikes to e-bikes, scooters, mini-motos, and DIY builds.
MotoCycles = motion + wheels + culture. It’s not just a bike—it’s a movement.
