Did you knowSHIFT is taking the stage this fall?

Because theyre big, scary, and expensive.

Well, these are my thoughts at least.

This vintage electric motorcycle is actually… an ebike

For that reason, its power and speed are limited to 500W and 32km/h.

The Beachman 64 weighs 100kg, which brings it admittedly much closer to motorcycles than to ebikes.

Also, unlike ebikes it has room for two and a maximum payload capacity of 159kg.

A US rollout is planned for 2023.

All in all, the Beachman 64 is neither the best, nor the most potent ebike out there.

But is it the most stylishly retro one?

And will you look utterly cool riding it?

Yes, and yes.

Do EVs excite your electrons?

Do ebikes get your wheels spinning?

Do self-driving cars get you all charged up?
