Working beyond the motorcycle market, Harley-Davidson arrives with an amazing launch of electric bikes. The manufacturer announced this year the launch of the second generation of Serial 1, its e-bike sub-brand. The new models come with a great novelty, in addition to a lot of style. The models have connection to the Google Cloud service.
The models, Bash, Rush/Cty Speed, Rush/Cty Speed Thru, and Mosh, are the three available versions. One of the models is a Mountain Bike, while the others were designed for urban commuting.
The prices are in line with the brand, with the cheapest models starting at no less than R$18,000 in direct conversion. Communication with Google Cloud allows for providing the most optimized route at any time, as well as the ability to monitor and disable the bike in case of loss or theft.

The electric motors of these electric bikes from Harley-Davidson have 9.2 kgfm of torque and are coupled to a continuously variable transmission (CVT). The motors are located at the pedal axle, and the highest possible speed among the models ranges from 32 to 45 kilometers per hour.
The models designed for city use, which include the Rush/Cty Speed, Rush/Cty Speed Thru, and Mosh, come with replaceable lithium-ion batteries with capacities of 0.5 kWh or 0.7 kWh. These batteries are capable of providing a range that varies from 48 km to 144 km or from 56 km to 168 km, respectively.
The handlebars of the Harley-Davidson electric bike have a display that allows the cyclist to monitor information and choose the riding mode. There are four different modes available, including Eco, Tour, Sport, and Boost.

The e-bike comes with an aluminum frame and features a USB port, as well as LED headlights and taillights, and is equipped with a storage compartment. For added comfort and safety, it has disc brakes and hydraulic levers.
It is important to remember that the information collected by Google is sent to the Serial 1 App, which provides consumption statistics, trip reports, and alerts about mechanical issues with the bike, among other information.
The Bash/Mtn model has one more novelty; it is a limited edition, coming in a batch of 1,050 units designed specifically for sale in the United States and Europe. The SR Suntour NCX suspension and high-traction Michelin E-Wild tires are standard on the Mountain Bike, which also features exclusive graphics.
