Small Bikes, Big Dreams with Greg Hatcher of Man in the Box

Pandora's European Motorsports

In this exciting episode of the Throttle Stop Moto Podcast, Justin and Jeff sit down with Greg Hatcher, the founder of Man in the Box, a boutique motorcycle parts manufacturer specializing in small-bore bikes like the Honda Grom and Ruckus. Greg shares the story behind the quirky company name (hint: it involves 90s grunge and an email address), his accidental leap from health inspector to successful business owner, and the joys of crafting high-quality, innovative products for motorcycle enthusiasts.

Listeners will enjoy hearing about the evolution of the small-bore bike scene, Greg’s wild builds—including a death-defying TRX90 Supermoto ATV and a ruckus-powered penny-farthing—and the camaraderie and chaos of grassroots events like the Barber Small Bore Rally. The hosts also explore the unique appeal of mini bikes, the challenges of designing clean, intuitive parts, and Greg’s philosophy of choosing happiness over financial success.

Whether you’re into Groms, Ducatis, or even obscure Chinese manufacturers making waves in the industry, this episode is packed with motorcycle stories, industry insights, and laughs. Tune in for a fun ride with the Throttle Stop crew and Greg Hatcher!
