Tier C · #29

British-built in Coventry, with removable batteries you charge from any plug, 1920s board-tracker looks and a real-world 70mph. A genuine homegrown standout.

A British success story you'll want to be seen on.
On the road

The RM1S rides like a light, friendly roadster, with enough pace — a real 70mph — to keep up with town and town-to-town traffic. The board-tracker styling is the real draw.

The automatic bit

Electric means no clutch, no gears and instant, smooth drive — plus removable batteries you can carry indoors and charge from any plug, with no home charger required.

Living with it

British-built in Coventry, CBT-friendly and genuinely characterful. Range is city-focused and the price is high for the outright performance, but few bikes have this much charm.

The verdict

The most charming electric bike on sale, and a proper British success story. Take the batteries inside to charge, ride it on a CBT, and turn every head on the way.
