TacoMoto Co. Build Program
What to expect, start to finish.
We build bikes the way we'd want our own built. Every build starts with a real conversation about what you ride, how you ride, and what you actually need. Here's exactly how the process runs before we get yours dialed in.
No cookie-cutter kits, no upselling. Every build is spec'd around one rider: how you ride, where you ride, what you weigh, and what you actually want out of the bike. We'd rather build one bike right than ten the fast way. That's the whole approach, and everything below is just the how.
Three things to know
If you read nothing else, read these: the timeline, what we need from you, and what gets a build moving.
It takes time,
for good reason
A proper build runs 4 to 8 weeks. We're not rushing anything that goes on your bike. Complex builds or special-order parts can stretch it, and we'll always tell you where things stand.
We need info
before we build
The more we know about your riding style, height and weight, budget, and vision, the better the build. Come ready to talk through all of it.
70% down
gets it started
Parts don't move until the deposit's in. 70% secures your components and locks your bike onto the build schedule. The balance is due at completion.
From inquiry to delivery
From your first message to your first ride, here's how a build runs. Most of the clock is us on the bench, not you waiting on homework.
Inquiry
Hit the contact form or give us a call. Tell us your bike and what you want out of it.
Consultation
We talk through how and where you ride, your fit, and your budget.
Build Sheet
You get a detailed spec: parts, labor, tax, and a real number to review.
Deposit & Schedule
70% down orders your parts and locks your bike onto the build schedule.
Build
Your bike hits the bench and we keep you posted the whole way through.
4 to 8 weeksDelivery
Final balance, then pick it up or we ship it to you.
All payments run through QuickBooks, card or bank transfer. 70% down orders your parts and locks your slot on the schedule. The remaining balance is due at completion, before the bike ships or gets picked up.
What we need from you
Before we can put together a parts list, get quotes, or schedule anything, we need to know:
- The bike and platform you're building: make, model, and year.
- How you ride: trail, enduro, dual sport, ADV, road, or a mix.
- Your must-haves and wish list, so we can prioritize what matters most.
- Your height and weight, which guides the suspension work.
- Your budget or range, so the build actually makes sense for you.
Don't have a bike yet?
We don't sell bikes directly, but we've got dealer connections and can get you in touch with someone who can source exactly what you're looking for, new or used. If you need to get your bike to us, we also have a trusted shipper we work with regularly who handles our customers' bikes with care.
Platform, short version
It comes down to how and where you ride. Here's where most builds land.
Trail & Enduro
Our bread & butterKTM or Husqvarna 350 / 450 / 500 EXC-F. Our most common builds by a mile.
Dual Sport
Best all-rounderThe 500 EXC-F is the move. Road legal, off-road capable, light enough to actually be fun.
Technical / Slow
Most manageable350 EXC-F. Easier to handle at low speed and still plenty capable.
