2023 Harley-Davidson Serial1 BASH/MTN: PURE OFF-ROAD EXCITEMENT.
Introducing the 2023 Harley-Davidson Serial1 BASH/MTN…
Less really is more. Less complexity and less mechanical complication mean more fun and more freedom on the trail. Really. That’s the promise of BASH/MTN, a rigid, single speed eMTB that delivers the purest off-road riding experience possible. No fussy suspension to tune, no finicky drivetrain to adjust—just two wheels, one gear, and one purpose, to provide the most direct connection between you and the trail. The less you worry about managing and maintaining technology, the more you can focus on enjoying the ride—and the added exhilaration of electric pedal-assist power makes everything even more fun.
Inspired by a Serial 1 engineer’s personal build, BASH/MTN takes the back-to-basics minimalism of the mega-popular MOSH/CTY and adapts it for off-road adventure with grippy, high-volume Michelin E-Wild knobby tires and a spine-saving, shock-absorbing SR Suntour NCX suspension seat post. Everything you love about the MOSH/CTY is maintained—including the crisp handling and immediate feedback that only come from a rigid frame and the instant acceleration that the single-speed drivetrain delivers—all presented with the clean, uncluttered style that you have come to expect from Serial 1.
Under Yucca Tan paint with special Gloss Graffiti graphics, BASH/MTN retains all the features and functionality of the standard MOSH/CTY model, including the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive belt, a mid-mounted Brose S Mag motor that makes 90Nm of knee-saving torque, smooth-stopping TRP four-piston hydraulic disc brakes, internally routed cables and wires, and integrated lighting. Plus, like all 2023 Serial 1 eBikes, the BASH/MTN incorporates a full suite of cloud-enabled connectivity features via the Serial 1 App, developed in partnership with Google Cloud to capture essential ride data, improve security and safety, and make it easier than ever before to just enjoy the ride.
BASH/MTN is the second offering from Serial 1’s Select Series—limited-edition, special-production versions of the company’s standard eBikes that have been elevated with premium finishes, added technology, exclusive components, and unmatched attention to detail. (The first Select Series offering was the white-tired MOSH/TRIBUTE that sold out almost immediately.) The BASH/MTN build will number just 1050 units: 525 bound for the United States and 525 destined for Europe.

ABOUT SERIAL 1, POWERED BY HARLEY-DAVIDSON
Inspired by the entrepreneurial vision of Harley-Davidson’s founders—and the revolutionary impact of their first motorcycle, affectionately referred to as “Serial Number One”—Serial 1 offers innovative eBicycles that make every ride an adventure. Born as a skunkworks inside Harley-Davidson’s Product Development Center, the eBicycle project began in 2018 with a small group of passionate motorcycle and bicycle enthusiasts working with a single focus, to design and develop the best and most capable eBicycles available today. The decision to create the independent Serial 1 brand in 2020 represents the best of two worlds—an innovative\arrangement that combines Harley-Davidson’s leadership in two-wheel electric propulsion with
the agility and autonomy of a new brand dedicated exclusively to the eBicycle product and customer
2023 Harley-Davidson Serial1 BASH/MTN Totalmotorcycle.com Features and Benefits
SERIAL 1 SELECT SERIES BASH/MTN KEY FEATURES & TECHNOLOGY
Aluminum Frame: Frame and fork are constructed from welded, hydroformed aluminum to be light and rigid, with geometry calculated to deliver:
● Nimble, agile handling across all riding surfaces and situations
● Confident control and unparalleled feedback on any trail
Intelligent Sizing: Frame geometry is optimized for each frame size to maintain a comfortable riding position and consistent handling across all sizes, regardless of rider height. Both the frame geometry and rider contact points have been carefully evaluated to make sure that our size range is well suited to nearly every customer.
Integrated Battery: The compact and super-durable 529Wh lithium-ion battery is integrated into the frame for sleek style and a lower center of gravity compared to other eBikes. Easily removable for convenient off-the-bike charging, it can also be charged on the bike through a charging port located on the lower left side of the frame. Mid-Mounted Motor: The mid-mounted Brose S Mag motor produces 90Nm/66 ft. lb. torque, plenty of power assistance to provide a quick launch from a standing start and to give the rider the ability to conquer even the most challenging terrain. Mid-mount placement near the crank lowers the center of gravity and centralizes mass to optimize vehicle handling, while an electronic torque sensor automatically registers the pressure the rider applies to the pedals and instantly provides a commensurate amount of electric assistance. No throttle or other action is required—just pedal and go.
Four Ride Modes:
● Eco Mode for a light amount of assistance in flat-and-favorable conditions.
● Tour Mode for the optimal blend of assistance and battery economy under mixed riding conditions.
● Sport Mode for pronounced assistance coming out of corners or over rolling hills.
● Boost Mode for confronting a steep hill or any other condition requiring a sustained burst of power.
Walk Assist: A push-button “walk-assist” function located on the handlebar controls provides a low level of forward motion to help easily maneuver the eBike at walking speeds, especially if there is ever a need to push it up a hill.
Belt Drive: Gates Carbon Drive belt is smooth, quiet and maintenance free. It requires none of the frequent lubrication or adjustment of a chain-drive system. It never gets greasy or messy.
Suspension Seatpost
The SR Suntour NCX suspension seatpost utilizes a patented parallelogram design to smooth out small bumps and increase comfort across all riding conditions. Built with stainless-steel bushings for durability and offering a full 50mm of travel, the internal coil spring is preload-adjustable to fine-tune the level of support for any rider.
Handlebar Controls: Ergonomically arranged thumb-and-forefinger controls allow the rider to turn the eBike on and off, change ride modes, switch the integrated headlight on and off, and engage walk-assist without lifting a hand off the handlebar.
Hydraulic Disc Brakes: eBike-specific four-piston hydraulic disc brakes utilize 203mm brake rotors deliver confident braking performance–essential for faster-moving eBikes and all-conditions riding.
Internal Routing: Brake lines and electrical wiring are routed through the frame, promoting longer life and less maintenance through protection from the elements and clean, snag-free styling.
Integrated Lighting: A bright LED headlamp mounted on the handlebar stem illuminates the trail ahead and can make the rider more conspicuous after dark. Bright combination LED tail and brake lights integrated into the frame dropouts are designed to make the bike more visible from the rear. A distinctive LED front signature light illuminates whenever the eBike is powered up.
Serial 1 App: Serial 1 partnered with Google Cloud to design a mobile app worthy of the Serial 1 name. With app-controlled security features, genuine Google Maps turn-by-turn navigation, and real-time ride data gathered directly from the eBike, the Serial 1 App serves as the perfect ride assistant for your Serial 1 eBike.

o The lights on the eBike will flash a warning pattern
o The electric pedal-assist functionality will be disabled
o The owner will be able to view the bike’s current location (or last known location, in the unlikely event that the bike goes completely offline)
● Google Maps Route Planning & Turn-by-Turn Navigation: Integrating current Google Maps Turn-by-Turn navigation data, Serial 1 App users can conveniently plan the best bicycle-specific route directly inside the Serial 1 App—including local bike lanes, bike paths and bike trails. Turn-by-Turn directions will guide your ride and keep you on the right path utilizing the most accurate and reliable location services available.
