Saroléa

Saroléa was an historic Belgian manufacturer, initially of bicycles from 1892 followed by motorcycles, ending production in 1963.

In turn, Saroléa used a number of British components such as Sturmey-Archer gearboxes and AMAL carburetors.

During World War II the factory was shut down by the Germans, and very few bikes were produced during the occupation of Belgium.

[3] In 2008, a motorcycle company using the name Saroléa was established in Belgium by twin brothers, Torsten and Bjorn Robbens, to develop and produce high-performance 100% electric race machines.

All components are designed and built by Torsten Robbens, who has a background in motorsport, aerospace and military manufacturing.

The company has announced it will launch a limited edition superbike for the road market based on the same technology and performance as its SP7 TT race bike.

[5] In 2016, the team entered the TT Zero Race with two SP7 bikes and two new riders, Lee Johnston and Dean Harrison,[6] but the machines were wheeled away from the start-line without even practicing on the course, having only test-circulated at Jurby Motodrome, a short-circuit made from converted airfield roadways.
