The bike draws design inspiration from the original Serial Number One motorcycle from Harley-Davidson and is likely to be a hit amongst avid riders seeking out something of a hybrid between a motorized bike and a manual one. The components of the bike, while not formally explained by the brand, are hidden within the frame of the ride to make it a decidedly minimal option compared to other models on the road today.
