Monday Motorbikes has created the world’s first crossover motorbike that is set to redefine your expectations of an e-bike. Before Monday Motorbikes’ M1 E-Bike arrived onto the scene, e-bikes were known primarily for looking like bicycles.
The M1, alternatively, clearly takes its design cues from a classic cafe racer, albeit infusing this design with a modern twist and the latest technology. The M1 offers offers an Eco mode that tops out at 20 mph and a Sport mode that lets riders double their speed at 40 mph.
Given the street-friendly eco mode and the enhanced speed of the Sport mode, it is clear that the M1 is blurring the lines between motorcycle and e-bike in a profound way. This assertion is proven by the bike’s internal specs. Inside is a brushless DC permanent magnet motor that consumes a mere 750 watts of power in Eco mode, but a staggering 5,500 watts in the bike’s Sport mode.
The lithium-ion battery system is also built for adventures, with a 40-mile average range. The crossover functionality is also worth a mention, as the crossover drive feature allows for both independent pedal and motor driver. There are no gears to shift and no clutch to grab. Simply twist and go to enjoy the ride.
Finally, enjoy the freedom from oil changes and spark plugs, and enjoy the bike’s regenerative braking that puts energy back into the e-bike’s batteries every time you slow down.
Combine these innovative features with the bike’s GPS, Bluetooth and cloud connectivity, and it is clear that Monday Motorbikes has created an e-bike that could serve as the template for other e-bikes to imitate in the years ahead.
