I rode the new Maeving RM1S – and it's the first truly convincing 125cc electric motorbike I've tried
The Maeving RM1S promises an increased range, improved top speeds and more convenient charging. Here are my first impressions.
"We knew there and then that the future of urban mobility had to be electric and it had to be powered by battery packs that were easily removed and conveniently charged, rather than relying on a public network or trailing awkward wires," Will explains at the launch of Maeving’s latest bike, the RM1S. Enter stage right the RM1S, which receives an all-new rear wheel-mounted electric hub motor, which is now capable of 7kW of continuous power (10.5kW peak) and a top speed of up to 70mph, allowing it to keep up with traffic on faster roads and blast through gaps in city congestion. Plus, unlike the Kawasaki Z EV that I recently rode, which relied on a boost function to give very short bursts of added power (and even then it struggled to get to 50mph), the RM1S' performance was constantly on tap, and being heavy-handed with the throttle didn’t appear to have an adverse effect on battery range.
