Well, a company by the name of Beachman has the answer with its new &rsquo;64 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/ebikes\/\">e-bike<\/a>, combining modern powertrain technologies with retro looks inspired by some classic motorcycles.

For starters, it&rsquo;s only powered by a small 2.88 kWh lithium battery. Secondly, it tops out at 45 mph (72 km\/h) and can only travel 55 miles (88 km) on a single charge. So, it&rsquo;s more of a fun recreational vehicle than the Caf&eacute; Racer motorbikes that have inspired it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Mode Options for Varied Terrain<\/strong><\/p>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"taboola-mid-article-thumbnails-organic\"><\/div>\n<p>Three different driving modes are offered. The first, known simply as E-Bike Mode, caps the top speed to 20 mph (32 km\/h) while Mopar Mode unlocks a top speed of 30 mph (48 km\/h). The dedicated Off-Road Mode is needed to get to 45 mph (72 km\/h). <\/p>\n<p>        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/Beachman-64-E-Bike-12.jpg\" data-type=\"inarticle-image-block\"> <\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\">\n<p>                    <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"lazy \" src=\"\" alt=\" Electric Bicycle Or Classic Caf&eacute; Racer?

Both models include regenerative braking, and the battery can be charged to 80 percent in three hours from a normal household plug.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Classic Design<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Visually, the Beachman &rsquo;64 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/2024\/05\/mclaren-launches-the-worlds-most-powerful-trail-legal-ebike-ever\/\">ticks all the right boxes<\/a>. It comes equipped with grippy off-road tires, slim motorcycle-style handlebars, and a prominent central headlight. A quilted leather seat adds a touch of vintage charm to the overall design.<\/p>\n<p>In the US, pricing for the &rsquo;64 starts at $4,800. That puts it close to the cost of some entry-level gas motorcycles, but if you&rsquo;re looking for an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.carscoops.com\/tag\/electric-vehicles\/\">electric<\/a> alternative with vintage style, the options are far more limited. While it may not be the most practical electric bike on the market, it&rsquo;s certainly one of the more stylish.<\/p>\n<div class=\"ad-placement\">\n<div id=\"9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<div id=\"bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c\" class=\"_ap_apex_ad\"> <\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\tvar adpushup = window.adpushup  = window.adpushup || {que:[]};<br \/>\n\t\t\t\tadpushup.que.push(function() {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\tif (adpushup.config.platform !== &#8220;DESKTOP&#8221;){<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;bb7964e9-07de-4b06-a83e-ead35079d53c&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t} else {<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t\tadpushup.triggerAd(&#8220;9b1169d9-7a89-4971-a77f-1397f7588751&#8221;);<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t\t}<br \/>\n\t\t\t\t});<\/p><\/div>\n<section class=\"type:slideshow\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy \" data-src=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" alt=\"\" src=\"\" data-type=\"inarticle-image\" \/><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Beachman &rsquo;64 tops out at 45 mph and offers up to 70 miles range.
