The contemporary Canadian manufacturer Beachman recently launched a new electric two-wheeled vehicle, named the '64 Street Spec Electric Café Racer. The model draws stylistic inspiration from 1960s café racer motorcycles. It features a distinct front fairing and road-focused tires.
Beachman notes that its '64 Street Spec Electric Café Racer is extremely versatile as it can be adjusted to "different ride modes to suit every kind of rider and environment." The E-bike mode delivers a relaxed experience with a top speed of 20 mph. The Moped Mode boasts 30 mph for quicker commutes, and the off-road mode delivers the two-wheeler's full potential with a top speed of 45 mph.
The '64 Street Spec Electric Café Racer also includes a removable battery with a stated range, regenerative braking, and hand-stitched leather seats.
