A couple of new first ride reviews have come out for Serial 1.
The Verge
One of the things that really surprised me was how well the bikes handled off-road, especially considering Serial 1 is marketing them (specifically the Mosh/Cty) as “the ultimate urban playbike.” Granted, this is only based on a few minutes riding over tree roots and wet leaves in Prospect Park, but the Rush/Cty Speed was nimble and handled better than expected. That said, I don’t expect to be popping wheelies anytime soon like the actor in the Serial 1-produced promo video — at least not right away.

Of the two platforms, I preferred the Rush/Cty line—it’s the one geared most toward urban commuting, and is built with a little more stability when going fast than the Mosh/Cty. Plus, it comes with that step-through option. At 2.4-inches wide, the tires are a little skinnier than 2.8-inchers on the Mosh/Cty.

We tested Harley-Davidson’s new Serial 1 electric bikes
Serial 1’s bikes are a joy to ride — but are they worth $5,000?

The e-bike include the Mosh/Cty and the Rush/Cty. Plus, making sense of the complex landscape of e-bikes.
