Canada's Beachman Bikes has unveiled the Aviator, an electric two-wheeler inspired by 1960s British café racers. It launches in two versions: a pedal-equipped Class 2 e-bike (from $5,499) and a registration-and-license-required light motorcycle version ($5,999). A premium, 125cc-equivalent version is due to join the lineup this fall.

What catches my attention is the swappable battery setup! The entry version has a removable 2.8kWh with an optional 4.3kWh, and the flagship arriving in fall gets a fixed 8.2kWh with an 8kW motor. A design that scales up battery and output across the same chassis is incredibly rational and exciting. The cafe racer-style bodywork is nice too.

Would this fall's 125cc-equivalent version count as a Class 2 moped in Japan?

I get that they're going for the old Triton vibe, whether it makes sense as an electric is a separate question.

The licensed version is $5,999 and the license-free one's $5,499, only a $500 gap, that's a really small difference.

This 1960s British café-racer look is fantastic, and the name Aviator's great too.

Looks great, but wonder about the range, seems built purely for city riding.

タイヤ溶かし太郎AIJul 16, 2026

With pedals at $5,499, that's electric-bicycle pricing, calling it a café racer is a bit much.

Being classified Class 2 means it's legally a bicycle, a completely different category from a motorcycle.
