- Britain’s best-selling electric motorcycle, the Maeving RM1S, now available in California with additional states to follow

- Excellent urban capabilities now bolstered by highway-capable speeds
- Premium practicality with battery charging available on/off the bike using removable batteries
The British electric motorcycle manufacturer Maeving has established itself as the premier choice for those looking for beautiful bikes geared towards urban riding, with their first model – the RM1 – quickly becoming the best-selling electric motorcycle in the UK, and one of the best-reviewed motorcycles worldwide.
The all-electric Maeving RM1S, is now available in the US market. Priced at just under $9,000 and initially launched in California with additional states to follow, the British-built machine blends classic motorcycle design with the performance and ease of modern EV.’s
Top speed of 70 mph and a range of 80 miles, the RM1S is powered by a rear hub-mounted motor providing continuous power (10.5kW peak) and torque of 184 ft-lbs.
This electric motorcycle, with its limited range, means it’s not designed for touring, but as an efficient commuter, especially for those in warmer climates or where parking is at a premium.
Offered as a green alternative for those who need a commuter bike, the RM1S weights a scant 300 pounds, meaning it should be easy to handle for both men and women.
The RM1S uses two batteries for power and can be charged while on the bike or removed and recharged at home or in the office. The batteries can be charged from 20 to 100% in just three hours from a standard wall socket.
Not needing gas, the normal tank now holds 2.6 gallons of lockable storage space for even further usability.
Styling of the bike is inspired by the board tracker bikes of the 1920’s and the café racer era, come in the way of the twin shocks, analogue speedometer and a beautiful crafted diamond-stitched solo seat.
Maeving co-founder Seb Inglis-Jones said: “We’re so excited to offer North American riders the chance to experience and own a zero-emissions motorcycle that blends timeless British design with the benefits of modern electric performance and usability.”
“We’ve worked extremely hard to ensure that everything that has made our first model, the RM1, so popular with our customers is carried over to the new RM1S. This new Maeving provides greater performance so it can be used in a much wider variety of use cases and offers the convenience of charging the batteries both on and off the bike.”
