Contact and collaboration with the official Huracán Motors website

Who is behind the official Huracán Motors website?

My name is Roger Tarrats Balet and I am the creator and administrator of the official website of the legendary Barcelona motorcycle and tricycle brand Huracan Motors, owned by my grandfather's cousin, Mr José Maria Duran Balet.

The aim of this website is to gather and share all the information related to the Huracan Motors brand and the world of motoring in mid-20th-century Barcelona.

This website is part of a group of sites that grew out of the original project dedicated to Domènec Balet Nadal, which we also invite you to visit:
