Harley-Davidson electric bicycle off-shoot Serial 1 introduced its MOSH/CTY and RUSH/CTY models in August, 2021. Serial 1 positioned both bicycles to urban riders and commuters with a 529Wh li-ion battery and a mid-mounted Brose electric motor. The new BASH/MTB electric mountain bike builds on those foundations for a more rugged clientele.
Serial 1 isn’t courting aggressive trail riders, however. The BASH/MTB features Michelin E-Wild knobby tires and an SR Suntour NCX seat post offering 50mm (2 inches) of travel, but the e-bike goes without front and rear suspension. The electric mountain bike shares the same rigid frame with Serial 1’s MOSH/CTY, so mild off-road adventures are feasible, but most riders wouldn’t take the BASH/MTB on tougher terrain. The brand sees that as a strength, though.
