1-Piece Rock Tex Survivor Suit From Joe Rocket

Royal Enfield Super Meteor 650 Vegan Leather Diamond Cushion Seat Cover From Sahara Seats
The leather industry is also harmful to the environment, as cows emit large amounts of methane into the atmosphere. That’s why motorcycle seats made from vegan leather are better for the environment. The same goes for seat covers. Check the materials before you buy. These attractive covers from Sahara fit the bill.
The Tarform Motorcycle
Animal rights and ecological sustainability are mutually inclusive. Headquartered in Brooklyn, New York, Tarform is the next revolution in motorcycles. These super-fast zero-emission electric cycles are designed using state-of-the-art biotechnology. The largest panel on this 100% vegan aerodynamic machine is made from flaxseed weave, biobased resin, and algae carbon.
Anyone can be an easy rider and a smart consumer at the same time. Many brands of motorcycle gear offer animal-friendly options. Choose vegan materials to make a difference for animals and the planet.
