- Harley-Davidson has partnered with Serial 1 and created a cruiser style
e-bicycle that is pedal assist. The fit and finish is what you'd expect from a Harley-Davidson product, everything down to the belt drive. Coming in two variations the Mosh/CTY and Rush/CTY they offer different features and price points. If you're in love with your H-D motorcycle and ride cruiser bicycles down to the local beach or park then the serial 1 is probably something you need in your garage. Matt takes to the streets with some of the guys from Laidlaw's H-D to In-N-Out for some grub while putting the bikes through the paces.

Hey Guys, Something I wanted to mention that I neglected to put in the video. Dealers are NOT STOCKING these bikes. The bikes we have are for demo purposes only. You can come in and check them out (at participating dealers) and if you like them we can help you place an order or you can place an order online on your own. Then you have the choice to have the bike shipped to your home or to the dealership. The benefit of shipping to the dealer is we will assemble the bike for you (I believe there is a charge for this during online checkout). If you have it shipped to your home it comes in a big box and you will assemble it on your own.
I honestly was considering trading my motorcycle for one. Going to have to reconsider an alternative.
Soooo...no dealer network. Interesting approach.
4500$ is there a tug n pull option if I assemble myself? 😵🤘⚡️🤘✨
Make one that pedaling powers the battery.
We can get those bikes stocked no problem...let's talk
Wonder how much the CVO model will be?
40,000 probably
@@OverboardDM right...something else we didn't need...not for that money!
The CVO is out already. They call it a LiveWire. It costs 30k.
Hey Berry that’s a good one.
😆
Belt drivetrain is nice...No grease on your pants and no chain maintenance.🤗 You guys like real HOG badasses riding around the city with no helmets...😂 Good review 👍
The future of transportation right here. No insurance, no registration, e bikes.
Until the insurance companies and governments realize they're losing money, then watch out.
@@rickybobby6760 shake and bake Ricky 🤘⚡️🤘✨
You should increase your health and life insurance on these. You thought cars didn't care about motorcyclists... Think again... They give zero F's about cyclists.
@@AppleJack76 I hate navigating the spandex Wierners on our mountain roads.
Coming from a country where bicycles are a huge part of daily transport, this hits the nail on its head. Im happy HD is getting into the market, and I hope to see these hit the streets of my city soon!
Idk what I like better? The bike or the In and Out 🍔!
They are both fantastic in their own rights
Thanks for the video, very interesting to see these in action! They definitely seem high quality. I hope HD has a marketing plan to get them known to the right audience, especially in urban centers. No surprise, those turned off by the cost have no clue about competitors' pricing.
Great vid Matt, actually changed my opinion on these bikes. Their not in my budget price range, nor am I looking for an E-assist bike. If I was I would consider them. And to all the people bitching in the comments on the cost..... It is evident that they have no clue about the average cost of E-bike and or E-assist bikes.
I was gob-smacked at the price of these types of bikes when I was at a dealership recently with my uncle who was looking for an E-bike. Low end started at $1500 and went up to close to $10K for the top end range with all the bells and whistles. Yes you can buy a motorcycle for these prices, but as they say, different horses for courses, different strokes for different folks.
I thought these were cool until you read the price 😂😂😂 YIKESSSSS the most expensive 20mph I have ever seen
@Mr Mr “umm actually 🤓”
We need a "how to" video, to club style a serial 1
Damn good Idea
Your videos never disappoint. Thank you!!!! Ride safe!!!!
I’ll wait for the bagger model, with batwing fairing and stereo 🤪
Look like really good bicycles Looks like a great way to spend the day riding one Bank you for the video Matt Take care
Thanks for the video Matt. I've been thinking about purchasing one of these and adding it to my collection of motorcycles. Next time I'm in Cali I'll make a stop by your dealership.
Stop by and hi my friend. 🤙🏼
Nice!...I was surprised by the price!...I have friends that do some hard core mountain biking and they pay anywhere from 2.5k-4k for a peddle bike that's NOT electric!...thanks for sharing Matt!...stay safe out there!😎👍🤙👍🤙🇨🇦
You looked like you were really having fun with those things.
They are really nice-looking bikes too.
They do look well made!
Pure fun, thank you!
These are very interesting. Have been considering some kind of e-bike for my 3 mile commute. I’d wait for the Speed model. Up to 28mph assist sounds much better than 20mph.
Love e-bikes. I would have bought the original Serial 1 "classic' designed e-bike, but these pretty much look like my Trek. So I'll wait to see if they release a more "classic" cruiser design e-bike",
Nice ! May have to get one for my wife and myself !!
Got a 2006 Heritage and a Paselec 750w ebike/pedal assist. Been enjoying more my ebike and I thought I am no longer a Harley rider. Then this video... 😊👍🏾
🛑🛑 Matt...Does Harley offer any “Stage Upgrades” for this bike😂👍??
The “Peddle Glide”😀👍
I was surprised by this video. 💯
Great “Low Drag”Change of Pace Video....Pretty Cool 😎 👍
Thanks man. I have to admit it was nice to mix it up a bit. I don't think many people will be interested in watching but that's okay. Haha
2 wheels and a motor. I know fun when I see it🤠 can people finance through Harley motor credit? Hopefully the price will come down in the future 😎
Finally a detailed Serial 1 electric bike review. I thought TH-cam e-bicycle channels would be tripping over themselves to review these bicycles. Sounds like the tires are underinflated in parts of this video. You can easily add a suspension seat post to anyone of these bicycles. Why isn't HD having dealerships service and repair these bicycles? What if you need support, parts, etc?
Yea they might have been under inflated. If you need parts then you reach out directly to serial one. You can order parts online.
these look killer! and the price is not horrible for these, it not great but its better than what i expected!
I have 3 new Giant E bicycles .A road bike, a mountain bike and The one that is comparable to these bikes . It is called the Fastroad e .And when you compare the components of what Harley is offering to what other premium e bikes sale for it’s very much inline with that Particular segment of the market. These are priced in about the middle of what most of the name brand e bikes sell for with Giant probably being on the low part of the price range in this style of e bike at around 3,100 - 4,000 and Trek or specialized being on the high end at around 5000* - 6000*.(* i’m basing this on my memory of when I was comparing e bikes before I purchased the Giant ebikes so the current prices might be different ) If I didn’t already have a new e bike I would definitely take a serious look at the Rush city speed model.
I stopped by the dealer yesterday while on my visit to So Cal. I checked out the “Serial 1” bikes. I live near Yosemite and this would be a great way to move around there or slip over to any beach and roll. I would change that seat for sure to one a bit more forgiving for my old ass. Any full time RV’er should have these on hand.
I use to be in the camp of these are cheater bikes, but now as an older guy, I could use some help getting uphill.
It is a great bike, if you have a handy person in your household it is easy to assemble. I am very happy with my purchase
I think it's a great idea personally. It will help light a love for harley davidson in a new generation. That's what harley is missing right now with the current young generation. The baby boomers failed to pass down their love for the brand and why they prefer the brand onto their kids.
Absolutely. I can see these bikes being a real hit with all sorts of people that might otherwise look beyond the Harley Davidson brand.
There aren't too many motorcyclists out there that didn't start off riding pushbikes. E bikes are a bigger, better gateway drug.
Those bike look awesome I wanna test ride one lol
For people saying $3500 USD is too much money for a bike - walk in any bicycle shop and check the prices on a name brand, medium to high-end, non-electric bike. You will pay at least $2000. For another $1500 you get a high tech motor and zero maintenance.
looks like HD did a good job on these , no idea how the price compares with similar models from other manufacturers which will be the big thing in selling them . trying to get new people interested in buying Harleys won't work out if the price is silly .
HD should take the design team and get them to design a motorcycle . now that would be cool .
They are competitive. Some brands, like Riesse and Muller would be several thousand more.
At two Harley dealers in Canada this week looking to get a street glide. Went in looked around for a half hour at both dealers and no one even came up to say hi. Extremely disappointed. Wish I could just buy a bike from you in California. Go into a Indian dealer and they’re friendly as can be. Might be time to make the switch.
Hey Matt, Great video....Will these be sold only in H-D dealerships. “Powered by H-D” sounds like they might be sold in other marketing channels as well.
Back to being a teenager! I like but I think I’ll stick with the Deluxe!
Nice product.
Where is the forward peddle option that many beach cruisers have? So you can really relax as you peddle.
Cool bikes.
Just saw gas shooting up to 1.57/liter where I live think I might end up getting one of thrse in the future
LOL!! :D Thanks Matt & Team!
Man. I miss the in n out burger. Had one in Michigan but it closed. Now I’m in alabama and we don’t have one.
On the bright side, you do have Zaxby's.
It closed? I am confused? Bad location?
Regenerative braking would be a game changer
Wow this is new, i wasn't expecting it
Is there an optional hammock seat? There is no way I could sit on that seat! It is a beautiful bicycle.
Nice !
Cool !
too cool, now we need a three wheeler for us seniors
I think these are pretty neat bikes and I really like the belt drive. I'm not quite ready to pay that much for one though. What I would like to know is where are these built?
If they don't answer you then you can assume CHINA!
@@radiohobbyist13 I looked it up. They are designed designed and developed in Milwaukee, but built in Taiwan.
Does rain affect their operation? So glad to see H-D produce these!
Do these things have rigid front forks? Yikers!
do I miss something where is the one with black color ,brown saddle ,white wheels old style handlebars
Matt,
Thank you for reviewing these. That is more than my local dealership is willing to do.
Tell the engineers that if they really want to attract the full-time commuter with a ride longer than 15 miles each way, the Cty/Speed MUST offer drop bars. We ALL require multiple hand positions for an extended commute.
Will there be a king tour pack option for these?
Carry a spare battery in your backpack? How much does it WEIGH and COST?
Road one at a dealer open house smooth and fast as an older rider a push up the hill is a help
after one of those burgers maybe a side car
Or a three wheeler
Cool 👍
Nice 👍🏻
I have a quick question I hope you can answer.
I'm hearing that you can't stage 1 tune a California model 2021 Harley davidson yet.
You guys been able to do it?
HD has not released their tuners for the 2021 models yet. They changed the plug this year. So it isn’t just CA. It’s all states.
Pretty nice! Do you know if they will be available in Europe?
I’m not sure. I would expect them to be available in Europe.
It would be way easier to say "I own a brand new Harley" lol
Only in Germany
$4500 US dollars...you pedal it yourself! 😅🤣😅
I paid that much for my XL1200 lmao
First, Matt keep up the good work
Thank you!!
Does it come with ape hangers and saddle bags...a white leather banana seat and a sissy bar and extended forks (you know: the chopper model) and a beer holder and a holder for cell phone with a USB port and blue tooth enabled small sonos speakers for the stereo...painted in blood metallic red and whitewall tires? Maybe an "Easy Rider" model with lots of chrome, a clip up rear fender, and an American Flag painted battery/battery housing, with the frame painted in metallic flake blue, white handle bar grips, tassles, and a brass bell on the chrome ape hangers? And a "Billy Bike" model with an Orange frame and yellow flames....
They should sell well in California .
I was sold until the $35-44 hundred... LAUGH OUT LOUD!
That's the price of bikes of this caliber. You think that's expensive, high end road bikes can be 10 to 12k dollars. And those are regular bikes, no motor or battery.
Wow.🤭..beautiful.. Sir 👍
Fun too
Excelente, we'll take the rush city speed with thee screaming eagle stage 3 witch includes but not limited to mini ape hangers mini bikini fairing pro street tuner unlimited mph non pedal straight wrist twist solar panels
I ordered the City Speed, 28 MPH. BUT $6600.00 CDN Dollars
Can I put ape hangers on these?
Are these made in the USA?
nope... Thailand...
Chyna
At least when my Harley breaks down I can ride my bicycle to the store, couldn’t imagine my bicycle breaking down all the time
Dude? I go to the In N Out all the time. Honestly, cool bikes; but I would be careful riding around that area; it is super crowded with Cars and Trucks....LOL, wear a helmet. Just saying!
Very cool promo / review. Those bikes are sick.
Im looking for a electric bikes now for a few days and i noticed these dont come with suspension 😂
Try getting home when tha accu is empty ..it sucks i know .They are gorgous though.
what in the hell, HD has some crazy engineers , they are blind walking over the edge
That kind of $$ for a peddle bike! Holy shit
Get them to sell SPARE / REPLACEMENT BATTERIES!
Hopefully parts made and assemble in usa
I like it, but hopefully they'll make a, "country", version with a suspension.
@Mr Mr No. I mean, "country". Watch the video and maybe you'll figure out why.
Isn't that Harleys slogan buy the best ride a mile walk the rest.🤪🤪
Byotifol ❤❤❤❤❤
But does it come with a 131?!
haha no!
You probably said it, I must of missed it. But did You say the weight of these bikes?
Ironically, Bill Harley and Arthur Davidson build their first motorcycle to take away the work of pedaling. Now it's back!
Harley miss out on putting a sound card in the bike to sound like different Harleys. Lol
You still can pin a playing card in the spinning spokes for that cool 60's im still a kid sound effect................
AKA: The Screaming Hummingbird
Haha.
👍
Everyone hates in the ebike until the head wind
Aesthetically it's a knock-out. Price & specs....meeehh....
Doesnt leak oil!
🤓😎🏍💨💨💨💨🤓👍🏻🇨🇦 nice bikes, pricey though
It would be nice, must have actually for a such price, if the rear red light could also be used as a direction of turn indicator. And with the controller like on/off on the both, left and right, handlebars of the bike.
White tires was also better on promo video about this model. And lil bit old shool-vintage look were also nardly needed, i think. It should be clear from first sight, what kind of bike does it come here, right now i need to come and read a name of manufacturer and model, that s not right for HD bike, i think.
There are millions of all kinds of electric bicycles in the world, and their prices start from 500-1000 dollars, there is no upper price limit at all. The only reason to buy a bike from Harley is its unique style and recognition, at the moment the style of the bike is cute, modern, but indistinguishable from thousands of other similar and standard models from other manufacturers.
Harley's bike should be unique and recognizable, and not the same as hundreds of the same in any bike shop or website. All the charm of Harley is in the old vintage style of the golden times of American technical design 1940-1960. Without such a kind of "look", design, a Harley bike is meaningless, unnecessary and not interesting. IMHO
P.S: Only thing i ready to buy right now without payment in installments - are these nice Harley Davidson socks, if i ll find it in black, white or red edition ))))))))))
Only one I liked was the one that looked like the Harley serial one.
Wow! Really? A sucker is born daily and I’m no exception. But at those prices, I have an endless amount of options. Far less equal too and obviously mouth more. I can’t imagine no one buying this no suspension comfort. Needs to be plugged in, up to 5 hours of that. Wow! Why Matt? I hope these items came on consignment. I’ll drive my Yamaha Zuma 125 on a daily for around town or even distance for a casual trip and I own a fleet of Harleys.
These might be cool if they were priced competitively to the *other* chinese e-bikes exactly like it.
If you are selling e-bikes, you should have some basic knowledge about classifications and what they mean for the customer. That’s more relevant than your local In&Out burger
Too quiet for a Harley.
And as it goes with H-D, still overpriced !!! Then end of H-D is not to far off, easy to see the writing on the wall...
What's the warranty on these bikes? Most of us could would work on a regular bike or even a ebike but with all this new technology it means back to the dealership,and you know how these stealership try to drain your wallet on something simple..
