Electric bikes are everywhere—but few stop you in your tracks. The Beachman '64 changes that. Launched by Canadian electric mobility brand Beachman, the '64 is more than a retro-inspired ride—it’s a two-wheeled declaration of independence, wrapped in 1960s cafe racer attitude and built with the soul of a classic motorcycle.

For co-founder and CEO Ben Taylor, the mission was personal:

That philosophy shows in every curve, stitch, and throttle twist.

The Beachman ‘64 delivers performance without pretense. Its performance-tuned frame and strategic weight distribution give it presence and poise on the road. The vintage bodywork is all nostalgia, but what’s underneath is thoroughly modern. A removable 2.88 kWh (40 Ah) lithium battery powers the ride for up to 55 miles, while an upgrade to 3.6 kWh (50 Ah) extends the range to 70 miles. With regenerative braking and fast-charging capabilities—80% in just three hours—the '64 keeps pace with modern life while encouraging a slower, more intentional rhythm.

Here’s where Beachman truly rewrites the playbook: the '64’s moped classification legally unlocks speeds other e-bikes only dream of. The bike features three intuitive ride modes, offering an experience tailored to the rider and the moment:

• E-Bike Mode (up to 20 mph): Ideal for city streets and bike lanes
  

• Moped Mode (up to 30 mph): For swifter urban commutes
  

• Off-Road Mode (up to 45 mph): Built for the backroads and beyond

This tri-level system gives the Beachman ‘64 uncommon versatility—equally at home zipping through traffic or disappearing into the countryside.

While most of today’s e-bikes compete in a race to add more software, screens, and apps, Beachman takes the opposite route. The '64 is defined by elegant simplicity—a clean analog feel that appeals to riders who want connection over complication. It's a throwback in the best sense, engineered for those who find luxury in design purity and mechanical confidence.

Taylor puts it best: "We’re not just adding to the e-bike category, we believe that we are elevating it."

Starting at $4,800, the Beachman ‘64 positions itself in a sweet spot: more affordable than most electric motorcycles, but far more stylish—and road-legal—than the average high-end e-bike. Optional upgrades and terrain-specific enhancements are also available, tailoring the ride to suit everything from daily commutes to weekend escapes.

Available now at www.beachmanbikes.com, the ‘64 isn't just transportation. It's a statement, an experience, and—perhaps most importantly—a way to fall in love with riding all over again.
