Nearly a year after its debut of the '64 electric bike, Canadian company Beachman is set to release the Aviator, a stylish electric café racer that combines vintage aesthetics with practical upgrades and a range of customizable options.
- Three versions available: e-bike, light motorcycle, 125cc equivalent.
- Stylish retro design with modern conveniences like USB-C port and remote start.
- Removable batteries offering range up to 80 miles and customizable options.
What happened
Canadian motorcycle startup Beachman is preparing to launch the Aviator, an electric café racer that builds on the retro-inspired design of their earlier '64 model. The Aviator features a mid-size frame, classic round headlight, low clip-on handlebars, and a streamlined leather bench seat, capturing the spirit of 1960s café racers with a modern twist.
This new model will come in three configurations to suit various regulatory categories and rider preferences. It includes an e-bike version limited to 20 mph on the road, a light motorcycle hitting 45 mph with capacity for a passenger, and a more powerful 125cc-equivalent electric motorcycle capable of 60 mph and a 125-mile range, arriving this fall.
Why it feels good
The Aviator combines vintage aesthetics with modern features enhancing everyday usability. Its two-liter lockable storage compartment hidden in the faux fuel tank is perfect for carrying essentials like gloves and charging cables, while a built-in USB-C port allows riders to keep their devices powered on the go.
Additional quality-of-life upgrades include a motion alarm system for theft prevention and a remote start system that eliminates the need for keys. These thoughtful touches paired with a lightweight design offer a relaxed riding experience ideal for taking scenic routes with ease and style.
What to enjoy or watch next
Potential buyers can explore the Aviator’s features and see the model in action through Beachman’s Kickstarter campaign video, which raised nearly $300,000 in funding. Customization options such as seat upgrades, handlebar grips, and saddlebags promise to make each bike uniquely personal.
Pricing starts at $5,499 for the e-bike version and $5,999 for the light motorcycle. Early orders are being assembled now with shipments expected within a few months, so interested riders should contact Beachman directly to reserve their place in line and experience this blend of retro charm and electric innovation first-hand.
