Electric motorcycles are often judged by what they remove: noise, vibration, complexity. At Blacksheep Power, we started from the opposite question: what should never be removed?
In a recent independent review, Buck City Biker described BilletFlux™ - the heart of the Blacksheep ONE - as “the star of the show.” That observation captures exactly what defines our approach to electric motorcycling.

Engineering Comes First
BilletFlux™ is not a styling feature or a visual statement. It is our patented axial flux motor, designed, machined, and integrated as the structural and performance foundation of the bike.
Unlike conventional electric motorcycles that rely on off-the-shelf motors hidden behind covers, the Blacksheep ONE is built around original engineering. The motor is not an add-on. It is the starting point.
Every system - power delivery, cooling, packaging, and structural integration - is developed around that core. As our founder, Mark Gilligan, explains:
“I strive to do things that have never been done before and at the leading edge of what can be done.”
That philosophy defines not only BilletFlux™, but the entire machine.
What “Patented Technology” Means at Blacksheep Power
At Blacksheep Power, patented does not mean proprietary for the sake of ownership. It means solving fundamental engineering problems in new ways.
- BilletFlux™ rethinks axial flux motor construction and integration
- BilletFlow™ embeds cooling directly into the billet architecture
- BilletPower™ removes conventional wiring complexity through a wire-free power system
Together, these technologies form a single, integrated system rather than a collection of components. This is why Buck City Biker focused on the motor rather than the bodywork. When the engineering is honest, it does not need to be hidden.
Form Follows Function
One of the strongest observations from Buck City Biker’s review was the bike’s mechanical honesty.
The Blacksheep ONE does not use panels or covers to soften its appearance. Every visible surface exists because it performs a function.
This form-follows-function philosophy is not an aesthetic trend. It is a design discipline rooted in engineering clarity. I
f a component exists, it earns its place. That approach results in a machine that feels deliberate, purposeful, and fundamentally different from most electric motorcycles on the road today.
A Different Kind of Electric Motorcycle
Buck City Biker also described the Blacksheep ONE as:
“A high-performance roadster with a look that stops people in their tracks.”

That reaction is not driven by decoration or nostalgia. It is the natural outcome of engineering being allowed to define the design. The ONE offers a fresh take on what an electric motorcycle can be - not quieter or simpler, but more mechanical, more engaging, and more connected to the rider.
Built in Limited Numbers
The Blacksheep ONE is produced in strictly limited numbers worldwide. This is not about exclusivity for its own sake.
It allows us to maintain complete control over engineering quality, machining precision, and system integration. Every bike reflects the same principle: build fewer machines, build them properly, and push engineering as far as it will go.
Independent Perspective Matters
What makes the Buck City Biker feature meaningful is that it comes from outside our workshop.
It confirms that an engineering-first approach still resonates with riders who care about how machines are built, not just how they look.
When an independent publication identifies the motor as the defining element of the bike, it validates the belief we started with: if the engineering is right, everything else follows.
