A one-of-a-kind electric BMX from the e-bike arm of motorbike giant Harley-Davidson, the e-bike arm of motorcycle huge Harley-Davidson, is up for auction.
The Mosh/BMX has a high-rise 9in BMX bar, internal cable routing to avoid damage, two-tone fade paintwork, and Schwalbe Hans Dampf knobby tires.
It’s completed with a front cargo basket that appears to be a classic milk crate.
Serial 1 isn’t the first retro-style e-bike from Serial 1. The firm’s name is derived from the first Harley-Davidson motorcycle, the Serial Number One, which was built in 1903 and includes many design elements from early motorbikes.
Retro cool
The most recent auction ended with a 15,000 bid for Serial 1’s final price is expected to be more than 10,000, based on previous bidding wars.
This year, in September, the firm put another retro-style e-bike up for sale for charity, which sold for 14,200 (about £10,300 / AU18,800).
The Mosh/Chopper was inspired by the Schwinn Sting-Ray bike with a long banana seat, high-rise handlebars, and metallic “oriental blue kandy” paint job.
If you’re thinking about buying a new bike, but don’t want to spend too much money, there are plenty of options that are more budget-friendly.
Serial 1 debuted its first motorbikes in November 2021, and unlike a well-known motorcycle builder, its designs were surprisingly low-cost.
The Mosh/Cty model, which starts at 619 USD (about £500 GBP), is significantly less expensive than the Cowboy 4 (849 USD/£675GBP).
The builders didn’t skimp on the parts, either; each of Serial 1’s e-bikes has a carbon belt drive, integrated lights, detachable battery, and a quiet Brose S Mag motor.
Integrated racks and fenders for luggage are included in the Rush/CTY and Rush/CTY Step-Thru as well as lockable glove boxes.
If you’re searching for something a little cooler while still having some extra money, there’s another choice. In September 2021, Serial 1 expanded with a unique edition e-bike that was inspired by Serial Number One.
The S1 Mosh/Tribute has a step-over frame with white tires and a glossy black frame, as well as tan leather handlebar tape and saddle. Only 650 bikes will be produced, each of which will cost 5,999 (about £4,400 / AU8,300).
That’s about the same price as the entry-level Specialized Turbo Creo Expert line, so it comes down to whether you want vintage style or high performance components.
