Harley-Davidson’s Serial 1 announces a limited-edition electric mountain bike

The e-bike company spun out of Harley- Davidson nearly two years ago, and now has another premium model. The Bash/Mtn is the first electric mountain bike that can destroy an off-road trail.

The Bash/Mtn is designed for serious off-roading, while also promising to require less maintenance thanks to its simplified design. It will be expensive, with a suggested retail price of $3,999.

The company says that the only thing required is two wheels, one gear, and one purpose to provide the most direct connection between you and the trail.

The Bash/Mtn design was adapted from the company's entry-level Mosh/Cty model. The Mosh/Cty features such as a Gates Carbon Drive belt, Brose S Mag mid-drive motor, TRP hydraulic disc brakes, internally routed cables and wires, and integrated LED lighting are retained in the new premium model.

The Mosh/Cty has a spine-saving, shock-Absorbing SR Suntour NCX suspension seat post. The Bash/Mtn is different from the other models because of the special paint and graphics. The Serial 1 app will relay all the ride data and other metrics for users to pour over thanks to a new deal.

The eMTB has an integrated battery that should power the bike for 30 miles, depending on the ride mode. It's a Class 1 e-bike and it tops out at 20mph. The power rating wasn't provided by serial 1 but with 90Newton-meters and 66 foot-pounds of Torque, it's sure to get you up a steep slope without much effort.

The Bash/Mtn will have a limited production run. 525 units will be produced in the United States and 525 in Europe.

The Schwinn Sting-Ray-inspired Mosh/Chopper was the first of a series of exclusive, one-of-a-kind e-bikes that the company was auctioning off under its 1-OFF series brand name. The company said at the time that personalization and customization would be a big part of how it thinks about the types of e-bikes it designs.
