HISTORY

Thumpstar was founded 2004 in Australia by a racer named Timothy Hunter. While attending a Trade Fair in late 2003, he stumbled across a pit bike, felt the necessity to import it and make modifications and improvements. In April 2004 he signed a contract with a Taiwanese Company to help build these bikes. Thumpstar was born.

ORIGINAL ADVERT IN 2004

The first model Thumpstar released into the market, between 2004 and 2006, were the JNR 90cc, Super Hunge 110cc & Pro Hunge 125cc. The Pro Hunge 125cc was a huge success with its CNC TUV certified full billet T6 heat treated alloy frame; this frame is highly sought after to date.

Thumpstar quickly became the most well-known Pit Bike brands in the world with sales reaching over 45million dollars turnover within the first 13 months of business. Thumpstar’s success was short lived due to some shortcomings in terms of infrastructure and Trademark infringement, with other companies selling counterfeit Thumpstar.

NEW PLASTICS BEING DESIGNED

In 2007 Thumpstar changed its name to Terra Moto and secured its Intellectual Property. New Terra Moto models were released including the Terra Moto Krusha 125cc and Terra Moto TDX 125F PRO however, unlike Thumpstar, these models did not take off and soon the manufacturer stopped producing Terra Moto.

It was in 2011 when contact was made to Hunter with the aim of reviving Thumpstar and an agreement was signed May 10th 2012 to restart the company with three new models: the TSX 88cc, TSX 125cc and TSR 160cc.
