In October last year, Harley-Davidson entered the field of electric bicycles with a spin-off company called Serial 1, and then launched four fashionable models in the following month, which are expensive but generally well received. Serial 1 has now announced a new series of electric bicycles called 1-OFF. As the name suggests, it is the Serial 1 pedal assisted riding series, and only one will be produced. The first of these unique models is a chopper electric bicycle, which will be auctioned online starting today.

This 1-OFF retro electric bicycle is named MOSH/CHOPPER, and has a Raleigh Chopper vibe—shaking a banana-like seat connected to a rear hoop or "sissy rod", which is a fashionable high-rise car Put, used for placing-return cruising and thick tires. However, the manufacturers of the new ebike-Milwaukee-based helicopter manufacturers Warren Heir Jr. and Kendall Lutchman-chose the Series 1 MOSH/CTY frame, and the two wheels are the same size (Raleigh’s front wheels are smaller than the rear wheels). bike).

"Customization is an important part of the motorcycle ownership experience," said Aaron Frank, Serial 1 brand director. "For decades, people have been modifying their motorcycles to reflect their unique styles and tastes. The 1-OFF series has also applied this personalized spirit and personalized electric bicycles, showing people how to create unique How interesting a personalized electric bike is."

MOSH/CHOPPER retains the same functions and features as the company’s US$3,800 MOSH/CTY electric bike, including a 250-watt mid-mounted Brose S Mag motor that provides 90 Nm (66 pound-feet) of torque and pedal assistance up to 20 miles Per hour (EU limit is 25 km/h), Gates carbon fiber drive belt, possibly (though not specified) the same 526 watt-hour removable battery, 35 to 105 miles (56-168 km) per charge, 27.5 Inch wheels with Schwalbe tires, TRP hydraulic brakes and integrated front and rear lighting.

This one-of-a-kind electric bicycle cruiser is painted in the 1960s style "Street Freak" blue with details such as "complex panels, weird water drops, hand pinstripes and single-stroke hand lettering". The white/silver banana seat is adjustable, the electric bicycle has shiny handlebars, and the top bar of the frame is numbered "1 of 1" to show its uniqueness.

The online auction of this single-edition electric bike is now open for bidding and will end on August 10 at 5 pm Eastern Standard Time. The lucky winner will be announced later in the day.
