With electric assistance up to 28mph, the 2023 Harley-Davidson Serial1 Rush/CTY Speed E-Bike makes fitness more enjoyable, adds exhilaration to your duties, and adds more capability to any cycling situation.
2023 Harley-Davidson Serial1 Rush/CTY Speed E-Bike – Features and Specs
Serial 1, powered by Harley-Davidson, launches Bash/MTN, the second offering from its limited-production “select series.”
Inspired by the personal construct of a Serial 1 engineer, the rigid, single-speed BASH/MTN eBike offers the purest possible off-road cycling experience.
Today, Serial 1 introduced BASH/MTN, the second offering from its Select Series — limited-edition, special-production versions of the company’s standard eBikes upgraded with premium finishes, other technology, and unrivaled attention to detail. (The initial offering in the Select Series, the white-tired MOSH/TRIBUTE, sold out almost immediately.) Only 1050 units will be produced by BASH/MTN: 525 for the United States and 525 for Europe.
“Less is more,” said Serial 1 Brand Director Aaron Frank. It is the guarantee made by BASH/MTN. Two wheels, a single gear, and a single purpose provide the most direct connection between the rider and the trail. The fewer concerns you have regarding administering and maintaining technology, the more you can concentrate on appreciating every journey.”
BASH/MTN modifies the minimalism of the wildly popular MOSH/CTY for off-roading with gripping, high-volume Michelin E-Wild knobby tires, a shock-absorbing SR Suntour NCX suspension seat post, and extra-powerful, four-piston TRP hydraulic disc brakes. Everything you enjoy about the MOSH/CTY is maintained, including the immediate feedback that only a rigid frame can provide and the instant acceleration offered by the single-speed drivetrain, all presented in the clear, uncluttered design you’ve come to expect from Serial 1.
Under Yucca Tan paint with Gloss Graffiti graphics, BASH/MTN features a maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive belt, a mid-mounted Brose S Mag motor with 90Nm of knee-saving torque, and integrated illumination. The BASH/MTN, like all 2023 Serial 1 eBikes, is compatible with the Serial 1 App, which was developed in partnership with Google Cloud to capture essential journey data and enhance security and safety, allowing you to enjoy every ride simply.
Serial One offers premium eBicycles guided by intelligent, human-centered design and crafted with the most advanced bicycle technology, creating the simplest and most intuitive way to experience the joy, freedom, and immediate adventure of riding a pedal-assist electric bicycle.
Today, a dedicated eBicycle brand co-founded by iconic American motorcycle manufacturer Harley-Davidson, Inc. unveiled the long-awaited details of its first eBicycle portfolio.
BASH/MTN is another offering from Serial 1’s Series, which consists of limited-edition, special-production variants of the company’s standard eBikes that have been upgraded with premium finishes, added technology, and unrivaled attention to detail. (The initial offering in the Select Series, the white-tired MOSH/TRIBUTE, sold out almost immediately.) Only 1050 units will be produced by BASH/MTN: 525 for the United States and 525 for Europe.
About Serial 1, Powered By Harley-Davidson
Serial 1 offers inventive eBicycles that make every journey an adventure, inspired by the entrepreneurial spirit of Harley-Davidson’s founders and the revolutionary impact of their first bike, affectionately referred to as “Serial Number One.” The eBicycle project began in 2018 as a skunkworks within Harley-Davidson’s Product Development Center, with a small group of ardent motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts working with a singular goal: to design and develop the most capable and advanced eBicycles currently available. Harley-Davidson’s leadership in two-wheel electric propulsion will be combined with the agility and independence of a new brand dedicated wholly to the eBicycle product and customer.
706Wh Removable Battery
The 706Wh lithium-ion battery is incorporated into the lower frame for a streamlined appearance and easy removal for charging off-bike. Depending on the terrain, the RUSH/CTY Speed ranges from 25-115 mi/40-185 km and a charging time of just 7.5 hours.
Brose TF MAG Motor with Mid-Mount
Built for speed, the Brose TF Mag motor’s 90 Nm/66 lb-ft of torque allows for effortless ascents of the steepest inclines. Four power modes will enable you to adjust the level of assistance: Eco, Tour, Sport, and Boost.
Enviolo Automatiq Hub
The Enviolo AUTOMATiQ is an electronically controlled CVT rear hub that continuously and automatically adjusts the gear ratio to maintain the optimal cycling cadence regardless of variations in terrain or speed.
