Industrial Moto created "Project Angel", a custom Honda Grom with a purpose built sidecar, so that a rider named Chris could finally share the joy of motorcycling with his younger brother Nick, who lives with Angelman Syndrome. Built by Tyler Haynes of Industrial Moto, this Honda Grom build turns one of the best starter motorcycles into a machine that brings two brothers together on the road.
What is Industrial Moto's Project Angel?
The Honda Grom is one of the best starter motorcycles out there, and we often see experienced riders enjoying them too. Its small form factor allows for easy maneuvering, and the bike simply looks great. This custom project by Industrial Moto is dubbed Project Angel because Chris wanted a bike to take his younger brother Nick on rides. Nick lives with Angelman Syndrome and Chris cares for him full time, so he wanted to share the incredible feeling of riding with his brother.
Who built Project Angel?
Tyler Haynes from Industrial Moto was the angel in this case, building the bike at cost and even getting it to Chris. Thanks to a funding campaign, Chris' followers raised money to source parts for the build. The whole project revolved around the sidecar, which was specially built to fit Nick safely and securely despite that being a real challenge. Tech, style and body modifications were all applied to make the bike and the sidecar work perfectly together.
Why Project Angel matters
In the end, this build brought happiness to Nick that was previously thought impossible. Chris now has the chance to include his brother in more of his adventures, letting him experience things his nervous system disorder makes nearly impossible. It is a reminder that custom motorcycle craftsmanship can be about far more than horsepower.
