As much as I admire Harley-Davidsons motorcycles, the truth is Im totally incapable of riding one.
Lets break down all Ive learnt during my time with it.
Hows the design?
What I mostly like about the ebikes design is its simplicity.
All the wiring is internally routed.
There are no gears or displays to think about.
The only controls are a light switch and a LED-lit power gauge both on the left handlebar.
How does it feel to ride the Mosh/Cty?
And the Serial 1 Mosh/Cty fits that description perfectly.
It feels fast and powerful even in all terrains I tested it.
Its low center of gravity makes it impressively steady, which is noticeable in its maneuverability in high-speed turns.
The single-speed drivetrain adds to the overall experience: everything about the bike feels simple and natural.
Hell, at some points I forgot I was riding an ebike to begin with.
What needs to be improved?
Like I said before, the Mosh/Cty feels lighter than it actually is.
Still, Id be interested to see a version for cyclists who cant necessarily carry something this heavy.
Its overwhelming simplicity allows riders to enjoy powerful cycling without needing to do much.
So, is it worth it?
