The king of heritage, Harley Davidson has announced it’s new brand, Series 1 Cycle Company, dedicated to electric push bikes. With this announcement came images of a new bike, which may or may not be put into production (but we really hope it does!). Its name is a reference to the oldest-known Harley, the Serial Number One, which was built in 1903.
This bike is definitely a head-turner, but may not be for everyones tastes. This bike was designed with the classic and memorable image of early Harley Davidson’s in mind. Unfortunately, it is not completely clear whether the final product. Harley Davidson claims this bike is “a styling exercise, not necessarily intended for mass production.”
Looking over the bike, it is a mid-motor bike with a carbon belt which is going to inevitably put it in the upper price bracket. The hydraulic disk brakes, brooks saddle with springy suspension and the integrated battery, headlights and taillights offer this bike a slick and modern look, keeping up with the current electric bike style trends we are beginning to see. It is likely that we will see some changes in the model if it ever goes into production; The white tyres, while looking amazing, would be ruined within minutes of riding and the overall relaxed styling makes this bike appear to be more of a boys toy, rather than a legitimate form of transport. The Serial 1 Cycle Company is predicted to release its models in March of 2021, but a countdown on the company’s site suggests it plans to reveal more details on November 16.
Currently, no price tag has been released, but we estimate this bike could be asking £8,000+ when it goes on sale March 2021, if it will even be available in the UK
