Harley-Davidson launch spin-off electric bike company, Serial One

Harley Davidson are spinning off its electric bike division into its own separate company, Serial One. This name pays homage to the original motorcycle made by Harley Davidson built by the company in 1903. This comes after years of development and the release of their electric motorbike the ‘Livewire’ (which is also becoming its own, separate company)

Serial 1 will be releasing 4 electric bikes, the Mosh/Cty, a bike designed for urban movement and the Rush/Cty, a higher spec bike with 3 different frame variations and specifications. Each come with 250W motors and can reach 20mph, excluding the Rush/Cty Speed which is and class 3 e-bike, capable of going faster.

These bikes were originally completed engineered and developed within Harley Davidson, and then the decision was made to split into a separate company.

The electric bikes have a consistently sleek theme running through them with virtually no visible wires and cables. The e bikes are powered by a mid-drive Brose Mag S brushless internal motor and assisted by a CVT (Continuous Variable Transmission) which can automatically shift gears from its all enclosed, rear Enviolo system which requires no maintenance. The Mosh/Cty and Rush/Cty are equipped with 529Wh battery packs, while the Rush/Cty and Rush/Cty Speed come with the more powerful 706Wh packs. 

The prices range from $3,399 to $4,999.
