Harley-Davidson announce Serial 1 electric ebike inspired by original motorcycle

The iconic Harley-Davidson is as popular with dentists as it is outlaw bikies, but the brand’s latest design is missing one key thing from the past.

Harley-Davidson is known for its old-school bikes, but its latest one takes the cake.

It’s an electric bicycle inspired by the brand’s very first motorcycle from 1903.

The retro ride will be the first from a new e-bike company called Serial 1 Cycle Company that Harley-Davidson is launching in the spring.

Harley-Davidson will hold a minority stake in the company, which it describes as an outsourced effort to expand into the segment.

Pricing and technical details will be revealed in November, but the bike features a black frame, white wheels, a leather seat and a toothed rubber belt instead of a chain.

It won‘t be Harley-Davidson’s first foray into battery-powered bikes, however. The brand launched the all-electric Livewire motorcycle last year.
