Harley-Davidson has announced its plans for a electric bike spin off called Serial 1 nearly a year ago. Now, the company is planning on selling “limited” number of its upcoming retro inspired electric bike model later this year.

The model going on sale is the S1 Mosh/Tribute that pays an homage to the “Serial Number One,” which was the Harley-Davidson’s oldest motorcycle built back in 1903. This early bike model from the brand had features white tires, leather saddle and handgrips, along with a sleek black frame with gold lettering. And now, the S1 Mosh/Tribute features a number of similarities with its black frame, white tires, and leather bound seat and handlegrip.

Furthermore, the S1 Mosh/Tribute arrives with many features that are identical to the Mosh/Cty, which is Serial 1’s entry level model. This includes a Gates Carbon Drive belt, Brose mid drive motor, TRP hydraulic disc brakes, internally routed cables and wires, and integrated lighting. Notably, the white Schwalbe Super Moto X tires are exclusive to Serial 1, and the leather saddle and matching leather grips are hand made from Brooks England.

The electric bike is clearly built for enthusiasts who would be excited for this new updated model. Aaron Frank, product manager, said in a statement that the company will “springboard to launch our S1 Series that will see even more exclusive and highly-desirable Serial 1 eBike models in the future.” As of right now, around 650 units are planned for production, half of which, will be available for purchase in the US and the other half in Europe. Shipments and deliveries are expected to begin in the fourth quarter of this year.
