101 Bikes releases motocross-inspired Factory Edition e-bike
E-bike manufacturer 101 Bikes recently launched its new Factory Edition e-bike models that the company says combine the attitude of factory motorcycle racing with the freedom, accessibility, and fun of electric mobility.
Available in two exclusive colorways, Race Red and Seafoam Green, the factory-inspired e-bikes are designed and developed with motocross legend Jeremy McGrath and freestyle BMX rider Bob Haro. The Factory Edition draws from decades of motocross, BMX, and Southern California riding culture.
“I got involved with 101 because I wanted to create something really fun to ride. We’ve built something pretty special, and everyone who rides one seems to come away with a smile,” says McGrath.
Powering the Factory Edition is 101’s Range-Optimized Torque Amplified powerplant, which combines a 500W motor producing up to 105 Nm of torque with a 48V lithium-ion battery and an estimated riding range of 25–35 miles.
The Factory Edition pairs electric performance with fully adjustable inverted moto-style suspension, oversized hydraulic disc brakes, and exclusive 101 Quasi-Moto puncture-resistant tires.
Motorcycle-inspired, the Factory Edition remains a Class 2 electric bicycle, with fully functional pedals and motor assistance limited to 20 mph. Its electrical system and lithium-ion battery are both certified, making it legal and compliant in all states.
Only 150 of the 101 Factory Edition e-bikes have been made, and the MSRP is $2,500. Both colorways are available at 101’s network of bicycle, powersports, and e-bike dealers and on its website.
