Description:
EVER wondered what happens when you put an electric motorcycle motor into a rat rod? Well, one car fanatic has the answer. Rich Benoit, a YouTuber from Gloucester, Massachusetts, has created something that he says has never been done before. Rich told R.Rides: “No one has ever taken an electric motorcycle motor and put it in a car - it’s beautiful.” Rich spent six weeks building his “work of art”, weighing between 12 and 1300 lbs and measuring 11ft long. At the heart of the 1930s Ford Model A is an electric motor from a wrecked motorcycle, complete with a custom made transmission adapter and a multi gear transmission from an old Chevy. Rich grafted the electronics on the bike and then put them on the rat rod, completing the interior with third row seats from an old dodge caravan. The acceleration enables the car to go up to 80mph, something Rich isn’t sure is the best idea. Part of the thrill for Rich is never knowing what will happen when taking the rat rod out for a spin: “Is something going to fall off or blow up? I really have no idea!” Rich enjoys proving the naysayers wrong who believe a small engine wouldn’t be able to pull the car. “My favourite thing about this is definitely the look you get from people who expect a big honking engine to be in front,” he said. “I feel like it really captures the spirit of hot rodding.”

_new-maeving-rm1-and-rm1s-e-motobike-coming-to-the-usa-in-2024.webp "There is a new player in the electric motorcycle market. UK-based Maeving has officially opened shop in the US and looks set to speed up your daily commute with its retro-inspired electric two-wheelers. Electric motorcycles have been shaking up the mobility space for the last few years, and small to mid-displacement models seem to be the sweet spot when it comes to making quick work of urban chaos.<br/><br/>Maeving's two-wheelers take it a step further by adding a touch of classic style. Specifically, the RM1 and RM1S have been announced for the US market and are currently on display at the Bike Shed Moto Co in Los Angeles and the Motoring Club and Coffee in west Los Angeles.<br/><br/>For starters, they're sure to catch the attention of onlookers and enthusiasts of all things retro, as well as spark interest among people looking for more sustainable mobility alternatives. Styling-wise, the RM1 and RM1S can best be described as a cross between a café racer and a bobber. With a sporty stance and a shortened tail accentuated by a floating seat, the bikes undoubtedly look like they're going to do the trick.<br/><br/>Maeving also paid great attention to detail in the faux fuel tank, which can also be used as a storage compartment. The pipe containing the cables from the battery to the control unit also resembles an imaginary exhaust system.<br/><br/>When it comes to performance, the RM1 serves as the brand's entry-level offering, with a hub motor that delivers a nominal output of approachable 3 kW (about 4 horsepower). The engine reaches 4.4 kW or approximately 5.8 horsepower and provides a top speed of 45 miles per hour. Depending on how you specify it, the RM1 promises a range of 40 to 80 miles on a single charge. An urban track has a lot of range. At $6,495, it's a pretty expensive car, but it makes up for it with stylish styling.<br/><br/>As for the RM1S, it has more than twice the power, with a nominal 7 kW (9.4 ponies) and a maximum of 10.5 kW (14 horsepower), meaning that with a top speed of 70 miles per hour, it's not only faster, but certainly a lot more powerful. provides more power. It is more fun to ride for those who desire the performance of a small volume IYM motorcycle. Considering the fairly light 293-pound weight figure, 80 miles of range on a single charge is also pretty good. To get double the performance of the RM1, you'll have to pay a pretty hefty $8,995 for the RM1S.<br/><br/>Source: https://www.rideapart.com/news/711294/maeving-electric-motorcycles-debut-usa/")
