"Replete with sleek, vintage-vibe features including a swept back concave windshield, meticulously hand-stitched sheet for two, emblematic street tires, and an exposed suspension frame only just keeping the electric engine in place. The removable 2.8 kWh (40 Ah) lithium battery, delivering up to 55 miles of range, can be replaced with a 3.6 kWh (50 Ah) pack to reach 70 miles. Both feature regenerative braking and built-in charge ports."
"The main selling factor: the lack of too many distracting bells and whistle screens and flashy tech-enabled doo-dads. All of that superfluous detail has been omitted to allow riders to focus on the essentials: aesthetic and of course sturdy, sustained speed. It's both rugged and classy. And yet its dome-shaped front light gives it a near neotenic look as well. It's all very 1960s. It's a balancing act of restraint, if identifiable, style and optimized performance, suited for both the city and open road."
Beachman, a Canadian brand, released the '64 Street Spec Café Racer as an electric motorcycle blending 1960s café racer aesthetics with modern EV hardware. The bike has a swept-back concave windshield, hand-stitched two-person seat, street tires, exposed suspension frame and a dome-shaped front light. The removable 2.8 kWh (40 Ah) battery delivers about 55 miles; an optional 3.6 kWh (50 Ah) pack extends range to about 70 miles. Both batteries feature regenerative braking and built-in charge ports. Charging reaches 80% in three hours or 90 minutes with an optional fast-charge upgrade. The design minimizes screens and flashy tech to prioritize aesthetic and sustained speed for city and open-road use.
