RIDE REVIEW I 2024 MAEVING RM1S
alongside a non-adjustable fork,
preload adjustable shocks, and
narrow, 19-inch spoked wheels
that work with the solo seat to
give the bike its board track racer-
esque look. Additional electron
-
ics—including a battery for power-
ing on-board systems—are housed
inside
the smaller of the two
center compartments, with high-
voltage wiring running through a
steel-braided hose.
The tug-of-war between modern
and retro inspirations continues
with an analog dash and LED
lighting. The faux tank offers 2.6
gallons of storage, plus there's a
mount on the left side for Maev
-
ing's accessory bag. Ready-to-ride
weight is
a claimed 293 pounds,
with overall dimensions feeling
more like a 300cc bike than any
-
thing. That's important, not only
because
weight and size affect
range, but because the RM1S was
designed for new riders just as
much as it was for anyone else.
The RM1S is responsive and
sure-footed, with a similar level
of composure to the small-
displacement motorcycles from well-
known OEMs. Linked brakes offer
plenty of stopping power, too.
