The second batch of e-bikes comes from Serial 1. The company was started by Harley-Davidson as an in-house e-bike developer, but was sold in 2023. Nonetheless, the company claims Serial 1 e-bikes are “powered by Harley-Davidson,” and take inspiration from the company.
Unlike STACYC, Serial 1 makes e-bikes for adults, and they’re split into two categories: mountain and city. For riding in the wilderness, Serial 1 has the Bash/MTN, featuring a suspension seatpost, hydraulic disc brakes, and Michelin off-road tires. It can reach speeds of up to 20 mph and costs $2,999. Then there’s the Switch/MTN, the company’s more performance-oriented electric mountain bike. It has an adjustable suspension and seat, the same off-road Michelin tires, and a top speed of 20 mph. Since performance is its priority, the Switch/Mtn is more expensive at $3,499.
For those commuting in the city, Serial 1’s most affordable option is the Mosh/CTY. Like the others, this e-bike can get up to 20 mph and costs $2,499. The Rush/CTY Step-Thru is the next model up, offering a self-adjusting transmission that automatically controls the gear ratio. It costs $2,999. Finally, the Rush/Cty Speed is the fastest bike we’ve mentioned so far, with a top speed of 28 mph. Subsequently, it’s also the most expensive city-focused e-bike available through Harley-Davidson, joining the Switch/MTN at $3,499.
