Maeving RM1 hit in London
Especially the design attracts attention. In London, where Maeving sells the RM1 from its own shop, this glitzy hand-built retro two-wheeler is a sought-after gadget. For its looks but also because it is agile yet performs enough for smooth steering through city traffic. And because of the electric drive, users have no hassle paying for driving in the inner-city environmental zone.
Classic yet very modern
The Maeving RM1 is classic on the outside, but modern under the skin. You can pair your phone with the onboard electronics to remotely check, for example, the battery charge or take a quick look to see if the bike is still where it was parked. The range of about 60 km can be doubled by having room in the “tank” for a second battery pack. In addition to the regular one placed centrally in the frame. The Bosch electric motor is in the hub of the rear wheel, so there is no chain, again saving maintenance costs.
Is the Maeving RM1 coming to the Netherlands?
Getting excited? Unfortunately, you can view it online but ordering it is not yet possible for us Dutch. Or you will have to go pick it up yourself in England, import it and get a license plate via an inspection at the RDW. That drives the purchase price to non-interesting heights. When you visit Maeving’ s site, a pop-up soon appears. Which reports that Maeving wants to pick up delivery in our country if there is sufficient interest from us Dutch. So come on, massive response to get this fun and affordable RM1 to our country!
