Absolut Chopper
It’s now 25 years that Peder ”The Wizard”
Johansson is manufacturing from his Hogtech shop in Eskilstuna, Sweden pure
Scandinavian style chopper frames for enthusiasts all over the world. Precision
handcrafted to tight tolerance frames, built following the old fashion
blacksmith tradition of the Vikings, using only high quality Swedish steel,
welding, heat treating and cooling in the fixture. All chassis approved by the
high standard German TUV organism, meaning a frame quality and integrity well
above what is required outside Europe.
Because a few years back some of his potential
clients around the world started to express their concerns about the legality in
their local country of chopper rake and and of very long forks, Peder decided to
build complete Hogtech full blown choppers with for objective to demonstrate

legislation. The chopper you are looking at, called “Absolut Chopper” (in 2
versions, The Black Ice and The Icelander) got its European Union Certificate Of
Conformity, and being road legal for all Europe it is also in most countries
around the world, including the USA. The chopper gets its emission legal motor
from S&S Cycle, its transmission from Baker Drivetrain and belt drive from BDL ,
its electronics from Germany. Continue reading ‘Street Legal Production Chopper
