What range of models will be offered?
There are three ebikes available featuring theBrose S Mag motor and a maximum assistance speed of 25 kmph.
The Mosh/Cty is the most affordable model of the series at $3,499, mostly apt for casual city riding. It comes with a 529Wh battery pack, uses a single-speed drivetrain, and is also the lightest, weighing 48 lb (21.8kg).
The Rush/Cty and Rush/Cty Step Thruuse an automatic Enviolo NuVinci transmission, which makes them among the rare bikes to offer fully automatic stepless gear changes.
While the Rush/Cty Step Thru has the same battery with the Mosh/Cty, the Rush/Cty has a bigger706Wh battery capacity, good for 40 to 185 kilometers.
They cost $4,599 and $4,699, respectively.
And here are two extra perks all three models share: robust LED lighting and theGates Carbon Belt Drive, instead of the traditional chain, which is virtually maintenance-free and can last far longer.
I’m most keen on trying the Mosch/Cty because I like the feeling of changing gears myself, while enjoying the extra pedaling assistance.
Jason Huntsman, President of Serial 1, noted in thepress releasethat the European expansion in combination with “a great product and a rapidly growing market” is the “recipe for success” for both brands.
Given that the ebike market in Europe is estimated to be worth$48.46 billion by 2028, and to growwith 3.5 million units by 2024,there’s indeed enough room for Serial 1 occupy with more premium offerings for discerning customers.
Do EVs excite your electrons? Do ebikes get your wheels spinning? Do self-driving cars get you all charged up?
