Maeving, a British company specializing in electric motorcycles, has debuted the RM1 E-Bike, a bobber-style bike inspired by mid-century British-built motorcycles.
The vintage e-bike is powered by a dual battery system that affords top speeds of 45 mph while offering 40 miles of range per battery. In addition, these batteries are easily detachable and can be fully charged using any electrical socket in 3.5 hours, which means the bike does not require access to a charging station. This incredibly convenient feature definitely makes Maeving's bikes stand out in the increasingly crowded e-bike marketplace.
Other noteworthy features of the RM1 E-Bike include a diamond-stitched bobber-style seat, LED lighting, bar-end mirrors, mobile app connectivity, Bosch ABS, and a minimalist instrumentation setup featuring an old-school round speedometer.
