The Serial 1 Cycle electric bicycle is a new creation from the [Harley-Davidson](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/harleydavidson-moshtribute)-owned company that is focused on offering impressive riding capabilities along with [heritage-honoring style](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/beachman). 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.

The Serial 1 Cycle electric bicycle is expected to be available for purchase starting in March 2021 and is likely to be a hit amongst eco transportation enthusiasts.
