Rider stories
Long-form features. We sit down with three owners each season and ask them what the bike actually changed about their day.
N° 17 · Spring 2026
Dean & Mira
Vancouver, BC · Greaser Classic ×2
Two graphic designers, two Greasers, one Subaru in the driveway that hasn't moved in eight months. Dean and Mira on commuting by café racer in a city built for sedans — and why neither one wants the car back.

Anna Knútsdóttir
Tofino, BC · Outsider 5.0
A surf photographer who lives between Tofino and Squamish and rides the Outsider over logging roads to find waves the other photographers can't reach. On dirt, weather, batteries in the cold, and finding a bike that holds up to her job.

Theo Bergström
Stockholm, SE · Greaser Springer
A vintage motorcycle restorer in Gamla Stan who didn't want a “fake” café racer — and then bought a Greaser anyway. On geometry, TIG-welding, what Swedish winters do to a leather saddle, and why authenticity in 2026 means aircraft aluminum, not nostalgia.

Every red pin is a city with twenty or more Michael Blast owners. Every brass pin is a city with one of our authorised dealers. The largest concentrations are exactly where you’d expect — and a few are exactly where you wouldn’t.
Pin density tracks closely with espresso consumption per capita. We’ve stopped trying to explain it.

Takes everything I throw at it. Light trails, gravel roads, city streets — the MX handles all of it. The 750W motor pulls hard and the suspension is comfortable for longer rides. Best money I've spent on a bike, period.
For under $1,500 you get hydraulic brakes, a real motor, and Shimano gears. I've seen bikes twice the price with worse components. Very impressed — and my wife borrows it more than I do now.
I've owned a lot of bikes and this is something else. The scrambler styling is dead-on, and it handles better than I expected. The hydraulic brakes are a huge deal — stops on a dime. Battery feels endless.
Everywhere I park it, someone stops to ask about it. The vintage styling is authentic — it doesn't look like a cheap costume. It looks like the real thing because the attention to detail is real. Worth every penny.
We got the Vacay Lo-Step for me and the Greaser Classic for him. Both bikes are phenomenal. The company clearly cares about quality and the customer service has been top notch. We've been recommending you to everyone.
I've had this bike for a few months now and I absolutely love it. I use it daily for my commute and it is an absolute BLAST. Gets so many compliments everywhere I go. Hydraulic brakes are smooth and silent.
I ride this to work, to the market, everywhere. The step-through frame makes it so easy to get on and off. Battery easily lasts my whole week of commuting and the cruiser geometry is forgiving on my back.
Outstanding build quality — everything is solid and well-assembled. The dealer support from T4B Motorsports was exceptional. This bike turns heads everywhere I take it. Worth waiting the lead time for the springer.
Best decision I made this year. The Vacay Hi-Step fits me perfectly and I now ride to work every day. The battery range is more than enough and it charges overnight no problem. Hasn't been in the shop once.
The springer fork is the real deal — it genuinely improves the ride comfort and the vintage look is unmatched. Assembly took about 90 minutes but everything was well packed and labelled. Took off a star because the colour was slightly different from the photo.
Really happy with the purchase overall. Minor scuff on delivery but the company made it right immediately. Rides beautifully and the motor is surprisingly strong. Customer service team are real humans.
The power is unreal for an electric bike. Everything is metal — no cheap plastic. It's built like a vintage motorcycle. Worth every penny and my partner is already eyeing one of her own.
