Yaniv Evan | My Garage

In this episode of My Garage, we visit custom motorcycle builder Yaniv Evan at Powerplant Motorcycles, his Hollywood workshop in Los Angeles. What started as a small space to build his own bikes grew into a workshop, clubhouse, and brand that still stays close to the work happening inside.

Yaniv walks us through the machines, engraving station, and homemade fixtures that make the small shop work. Along the way, he shares how working around custom cars shaped his approach to motorcycles, why a build can mean putting something together and tearing it back apart, and how everything from art shows to the lettering on dollar bills can spark an idea.

From choppers to FXRs, the thread running through his work is the desire to keep challenging himself. The conversation moves beyond the bikes to the friends and family who pass through the shop, how fatherhood has changed the way he rides, and what it takes to keep learning after years of building. It’s a look at the person, process, and everyday decisions behind Powerplant.
