Trev Deeley welcomes Serial 1: A blog about the new eBicycle line.
SERIAL 1 EBICYCLE POWERED BY HARLEY-DAVIDSON
There are a lot of great bicycles out there, but the Serial 1 is one that stands out. It’s fast and nimble like the Harley-Davidson motorcycles you see in car lanes, but is also quiet and smooth like the luxury cars you see cruising around town. So why choose the Serial 1 electric bicycle over any other bike on the market?
Here are a few features the make the Serial 1 eBicycle stand out.
Belt Drive: The Gates carbon drive belt is maintenance-free and delivers and smooth and quiet drive. Forget about the day's of messy chain-drive lubrication and adjustment. No grease= No mess.
Walk Assist: This function allows you to push a button to provide a low level of forward momentum so that you can easily maneuver the bike if you ever need to move it somewhere.
Auto-Shifting Transmission: Enviolo AUTOMATiQ is an intelligent automatic transmission with an electronically controlled CVT(Constantly Variable Transmission) rear hub. This will automatically adjust the gear ratio for an optimal and personalized pedalling cadence that matches specific terrain and speed for the rider. (*only on particular models)
Four Ride Modes:
-Eco Mode: A light amount of assistance that helps maintain your battery strength for longer rides.
-Tour Mode: Gives you a blend of assistance under mixed riding conditions while helping to maintain battery life.
-Sport Mode: A noticeable assistance with the most responsive shifting mode.
-Boost Mode: Gives you a boost on a steep hill or any terrain that you would like a little more assistance for.
Aluminum Frame: The frame and fork of the Serial 1 are constructed from welded hydroformed aluminum to create a light, nimble and agile bicycle that gives confident control and comfort to its user.
Integrated Battery: The lithium-ion integrated batteries are low in the frame for improved rider experience. They can be charged on or off the bike for greater convenience.
Mid-Mounted Motor: The Brose motor produces 90Nm/66ft lb. torque. Mid-mounted placement lowers the center of gravity for optimized handling. At the same time, an electronic torque sensor registers the pressure the rider applies to the pedal to provide the right amount of electric assistance instantly. No throttle is required. Just peddle, and you will be on your way.
Integrated Lighting: The LED headlamp illuminates straight out in front for the handlebar stem to light up the road in front of you. A brake light on the back makes your bicycle more visible from the rear.
Handlebar Controls:
Everything you need is right at your thumb and forefinger. Turn the bike on and off, change ride modes, switch on and off the headlight, engage the walk assist.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: 203mm brake rotor deliver in all weather and riding conditions for confident braking performance.
RUSH/CTY Glove box, Fenders and Racks:
The Rush/CTY serial 1 comes with a compartment space in the down tube of the bicycle. It is designed to take small items that you can lock in this compartment. Fenders and racks are provided to protect the rider from dirty conditions and well as a convenient way to carry small loads.
