Heavy Hitter V1 Talaria Skid Plate

IMPORTANT NOTICE: V2 will be released 12/1/2025 for Pre-Order. The V2 can be seen HERE. This V1 will be discontinued since it will not work with all "new" aftermarket motors, more details below! 

Meet the last skid plate your bike will ever need. With 7075 T6 billet aluminum side supports and replaceable bash plates, the GritShift Heavy Hitter Skid Plate can withstand a whopping 6,000 lbs of force, making it the end-all protection solution for your Talaria E-Moto. 

The most vulnerable part of our e-bikes is the motor. It’s at the very bottom of the frame, right where obstacles like rocks, roots, and logs can strike at a moment’s notice. Depending on what kind of riding you do, you might even be hitting those obstacles on purpose – sometimes there’s no way through but to drag it through – and that’s when you need a skid plate with precise angles designed to keep you moving and not bog you down.

The Heavy Hitter Skid Plate has the perfect strike angle for logs, rocks, and other obstacles. With a thick 10mm aluminum bash plate, extended tail section, and strategically placed venting, our skid plate offers top-notch motor protection for on-road and off-road use alike. And if you do happen to damage it, the replaceable bash plate can be switched out for a new one in minutes.

Life Time Warranty: "Side Rails Only" We are so confident in this skidplate that we will replace the side rails if they ever bend for FREE!
(Not applicable to bash plates, replacements are available upon request).

NOTE: Torp Controller covers require slight modification to fit.
