Nov. 8, 2020The world, as we know, is changing and so are our automobiles. Traditional gas-powered vehicles are gradually being replaced by electric ones, even the government is encouraging the change. So, with an aim to create an all-electric line of bicycles, iconic motorcycle-maker, Harley Davidson recently introduced its first-ever e-bike in the market.
Dubbed as “Serial 1”, the company unveiled the elegant all-electric bicycle along with the announcement of its new spin-off company, “Serial 1 Cycle”.This company will be a separate entity operating under Harley Davidsonand will be dealing with electric bikes in the future.
Now, the name “Serial 1” is a homage to the nickname of the company’s oldest known motorbike, the “Serial Number One”. So,the design team of the Serial 1 e-bike took a lot of inspiration from the Serial Number One motorcycleto give it a touch of nostalgia.

So, as you can see, the bike comes with a shiny jet-black frame with a pair of white-tire-wheels. Moreover,the team wrapped the seat of the Serial 1 e-bike with leatherto give it a classy look.
