If the only thing that demotivated you about the Maeving RM1 was its modest top speed of 72 km/h, you might be interested in this new RM1S version.
This version features a new engine that delivers 14.1 hp compared to the mere 5.9 hp of the Maeving RM1.
The extra power has a dramatic effect on performance – the RM1S reaches a maximum of 104.6 km/h instead of 72 km/h, making it a much more versatile machine than before. However, the range remains unchanged at 128.7 km, as Maeving equipped the bike with 30% larger batteries.
It is possible to use the bike with just one of the two packs, which – unsurprisingly – reduces the range to a decent 64.3 km. The batteries can be charged on-site or removed from the bike to be charged elsewhere with the optional battery base. It takes 3.5 hours to simultaneously charge both packs from 0% to 80%, or 4.5 hours to reach 100%.
Maeving claims to have built the RM1S in response to customer feedback wanting more power and speed. We can’t imagine many had anything bad to say about the appearance, so it remains virtually unchanged. This means a long wheelbase, spoked wheels, and a large bobber-style seat.
However, if you look closely, you may have noticed that the central battery housings are slightly larger and that there is also a more robust front brake – a 300 mm disc squeezed by a three-piston caliper. Maeving has also released four new special edition colors to accompany the bike.
