Raven Rova Rides On!
Rev your engines ladies! Crowdfunding Raven Rova's next batch of gear for all you bad ass bikers!
Project Description
MISSION STATEMENT
Raven Rova is a fashion design house for protective motorcycle apparel.
Our mission is to empower women through fashion and community.
Raven Rova Company Values
Bravery
to face fears, shed stereotypes, and combat all forms of negativity.
Community
is our lifeblood, we are inspired by our sisters and brothers of the road and strive to design products for protecting them.
Fun
is the reason we face those dangerous statistics, constantly wrench on our machines, and deal with helmet hair.
Curiosity
to try new materials, learn new techniques, and never cease to question the status quo.
Quality
is paramount because our lives and yours depend on it.
The Problem
To Compound The Problem
This adds up to a frustrating, complex problem for women riders.
Market Snap Shot
In the USA, women riders number in the 3 millions. We make up over 19% of all riders as of 2020 according to the Motorcycle Industry Council (MIC). Fastest growing segment of motorcycle riders in the USA and globally.
How does Raven Rova solve this problem ?
Raven Rova solves the gear problem by giving women CE gear in US sizes 4 to 24.
Founder, Karleen Eberle, has developed our proprietary sizing over the last decade. She has worked with REAL women for size data, and used the ASTM standards as a broad framework.
OUR STYLES ARE DESIGNED FOR CURVEY MUSCLED WOMEN!
Bring Us your booty, boobs, hips and thighs! Envelope yourself in Raven Rova and become reborn as the bad ass you are!
Why are we seeking funding ?
We are funding our next production run.
Based on YOUR input, we are producing YOUR most requested styles. New color and more sizes!
We need to crowdfund because the production minimum order quantities are high. Until now Raven Rova founder, Karleen has made up the difference with her personal funds. She has skin in game, totaling around $20,000.00. Now we have grown past her personal capacity to front the production capital.
We need help raising the capital to pay our production team. We work with a world class producer. They have been producing motorcycle gear since 1969, they make gear for all the big names. We have negotiated for a minimum order quantity that is half their normal quantity to help meet this goal as a growing business.
Our Team
Founder, Karleen Eberle
Our Logistics Team, Atomix Logistics. They fulfill your orders!
Our Production Team, Longview, A family owned business,
with leather and motorcycle gear experts building your gear by hand.

Items must be in new, unused condition with all tags attached. Free from dirt, debris, damage, etc.
We’re relying on your contribution to fund the production. So, if you want a refund once your gear arrives that would be harmful to Raven Rova. Please consider your purchase carefully, we want to create a win-win situation. We appreciate your support!
What happens if you don't meet your funding goal?
We love iFundWoman because they have a flexible funding model. So, as long as we raise enough to cover our basic production costs - we don't need to hit exactly our goal. To reassure you, we have done the math and this is a realistic dollar amount based on you demand. Let's CRUSH this ladies!!!
What is Cordura ?
Learn more with our Blog article: What Is Cordura.
Do your pants come in other lengths ?
Not at this time. Please learn more with this Blog article: Demystifying The Inseam: Why Our Pants Only Come In One Length
Who has tested this gear ?
The team at WebBikeWorld has tested and reviewed our gear extensively!
Karleen has tested the gear personally, at street speed slides (by accident). She walked away from a low side, 5 car length skid commuting to work in August 2019. Do not try that.
Since there is no regulatory body in the USA, we rely on trusted people with years of expertise to test and review our gear. Some friends and colleagues we trust are: The Gear Chic, Brittany Morrow, the Web Bike World team, and the Women Riders Now team. View Our Press Page
How do I know the gear is CE ?
Our production team operates a CE facility. The gear is manufactured to a MINIMUM of CE-1 standards. Our leather items meet CE-2 standards for thickness, 3 MM (race track requirements).
We include CE-2 gel foam armor for knee, elbow, shoulder. Hip: there is a pocket for your hip armor of choice. We include an entry level CE-1 composite foam back protector.
Each armor location has a velcro/zipper pocket to change the armor for something of your choice. This is a personal choice based on your body and your riding needs.
