Harley Davidson Electric Bike Serial 1: Homage to the first Harley

29 October 2020 by the editorial office

E-Performance: Serial 1 Cycle Company is a small, specialized e-bike manufacturer from the USA. The company was founded together with the American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson and has now announced its entry into the e-bike market and the first Harley Davidson e-bike. The new company's first products will be launched in spring 2021. Serial 1 Cycle Company's name comes from "Serial Number One", the nickname of the oldest known Harley-Davidson motorcycle. The company combines the product development capability of Harley-Davidson with the innovative power of a start-up brand.

"When Harley-Davidson first designed two-wheel drive in 1903, it permanently changed the way the world moved," says Aaron Frank, brand director for Serial 1 Cycle Company. "Inspired by the entrepreneurial vision of Harley-Davidson's founders, we hope to once again transform how cyclists and those with a passion for cycling navigate their world with a Serial 1 e-bike."



Serial 1: Started as a secret project

The Harley Davidson e-bike project was born as a secret project deep in the motorcycle builders' product development center and started with a small group of passionate motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts. They worked flat out to design and develop an e-bike worthy of the Harley-Davidson name. In order to achieve this goal as efficiently as possible, it was decided to restructure the e-bike business into a new company. This allowed this unit to focus solely on providing the best e-bike product and experience.

Serial 1 - the new e-bike from Harley Davidson

The Serial 1 brand is now managed by a team of former Harley-Davidson executives that includes Jason Huntsman, President; Ben Lund, vice president and product development; Aaron Frank, Brand Director and Hannah Altenburg, Senior Marketing Specialist.



Serial 1: Simple freedom

Serial 1 e-bikes are designed to enable everyone to ride further, faster and with less effort. In addition, it should be the perfect, stylish e-bike solution for city traffic and cycling in your free time.

The global e-bike market was valued at over $2019 billion in 15 and is projected to grow at more than 2020 percent annually between 2025 and 6.
"The dynamic and fast-growing e-bike market is at the forefront of a global mobility revolution"says Frank. “The formation of Serial 1 allows Harley-Davidson to play a key role in this mobility revolution while allowing Serial 1 to focus solely on the e-bike customer and deliver an unparalleled cycling experience rooted in freedom and adventure. "



Harley Davidson E-Bike Serial 1: We are excited

When Serial 1 launches just as exciting two-wheelers as parent company Harley Davidson, the e-bike market is sure to be enriched. The first one looks good and interesting. Unfortunately, we can't give any prices and availability for Germany at the moment. All information about the brand and the bike is available https://www.serial1.com/de/
