Beachman Bikes, Canada's newest licensed motorcycle manufacturer in over a decade, has unveiled its latest model, the Aviator. Inspired by Britain's cafe racers of the 1960s, the Aviator is available in two versions, with a third one scheduled for release later this fall. The entry-level Class 2 e-bike model starts at $5,499 and features a pair of pedals to meet e-bike regulations.
Powered by a removable 2.8-kilowatt-hour battery pack, the Aviator e-bike has a driving range of over 55 miles and a rear-mounted electric motor with an on-road top speed of 20 miles per hour. When cruising on private roads, the speed increases to 35 miles per hour. An optional, non-removable 4.3-kilowatt-hour battery pack is also available, boosting the claimed range to over 80 miles on a full charge.

The e-bike model can accommodate up to 300 pounds and features an anti-theft handlebar lock, a double-locked battery system, and remote start-stop capability through the key fob. For riders seeking more speed and freedom, there's the Aviator Light Motorcycle, which requires registration, insurance, and a license, starting at $5,999.
A third model, positioned as a premium 125cc-equivalent electric motorcycle, is due later this fall, with a larger fixed 8.2-kilowatt-hour battery, an 8-kilowatt motor, a top speed of 60 miles per hour, and an estimated range of over 125 miles. Pricing and details about this flagship model will be announced closer to its market launch.
