Before co-founding Blitz Motorcycle, Hugo Jézégabel was a landscape designer and a vintage scooter enthusiast. In 2004-2005, Fred Jourden took mechanics maintenance night classes, with plans to service his own daily ride (a ’61 R50/2 BMW), while he was head of European Marketing for an online based company. Along the way, they met and realised a shared philosophy, quitting their day jobs and creating ‘Blitz Motorcycles’.
