Harley-Davidson unveils chic vintage-style e-bike – but you'll have to be quick to grab one

Harley-Davidson added another electronic bike to its range, with a design that returned to the company’s first bike, the number one serial number one. The S1 Mosh / Tribute has white tires, a glossy black frame, a carbon drive belt for smooth driving and minimal maintenance, as well as rolled cables inside to preserve the conventional bicycle look.

Harley made his first movement in e-bicycle bikes in October 2020, when he announced the launch of the series 1 – a dedicated derived company that takes his name from the Harley Harley.

At the time, we expected the company’s electronic bikes to be well beyond the budget of the average rider, but it surprised us in November with two models specially designed for commuters: the MOSH / Cyt and the Rush / Cyt Step-Thru, which cost $ 3,399 (about 2,600 £ / 4,600 £) and $ 4,399 (about 3,300 £ / 6,000 £) respectively.

It’s certainly not cheap, but no stranger either. As a comparison, our current e-bike cycling, Cowboy 4, sells 2,290 £ in the UK and has just launched in the United States for a price of $ 1,990 of $ 1,990 .

The S1 Mosh / Tribute is a limited edition, with only 650 due to the launch of the production line (half for sale in the United States and half of the European riders), and has a corresponding price tag. It was put on sale this month for an amount of $ 5,999 (about 4,400 £ / £ 8,300), which is more consistent with what we were expecting a company with Harley’s Heritage.

However, like the verge notes, what you pay here is the vintage style, because the bike specifications are basically identical to the MOSH / Cyt.

The S1 Mosh / Tribute is available to pre-order in series, with expected delivery at the end of the year, but you will need to be fast; The bike was originally available in medium and large sizes, but at the time of writing, the support is left in stock.
