Canadian electric two-wheeler maker Beachman has taken the wraps off its latest model, the Aviator, expanding its lineup with a platform that spans everything from a Class 2 e-bike to a highway-capable electric motorcycle. The company, which recently became Canada’s first newly licensed motorcycle manufacturer in more than a decade, says the Aviator is built on an all-new frame and will be offered in three configurations. The entry-level version is listed as a Class 2 e-bike (note the fold-up pedals) starting at $5,499, capable of 20 mph (32 km/h) on public roads or up to 35 mph (56 km/h) for off-road use where permitted. Buyers can choose between removable 2.8 kWh or 4.3 kWh batteries, offering claimed ranges of over 55 miles (89 km) and 80 miles (129 km), respectively.

Stepping up to the Light Motorcycle version adds a 45 mph (72 km/h) top speed and motorcycle registration requirements, while retaining the same battery options and classic styling. That model starts at $5,999. Perhaps the most interesting addition, however, is still a few months away. Beachman says a premium 125cc-equivalent electric motorcycle will arrive later this fall, featuring an 8.2 kWh fixed battery, an 8 kW motor, a claimed top speed of around 60 mph (96 km/h), and more than 125 miles (200 km) of estimated range. Those specs would make it suitable not just for urban riding but also for short local highway trips. Visually, the Aviator continues Beachman’s signature vintage café racer aesthetic, though underneath it’s packed with modern touches like removable batteries, USB-C charging, remote start and stop, an integrated motion alarm, and lockable storage hidden inside what would traditionally be the fuel tank. That storage compartment offers roughly two gallons of space—something few motorcycles can claim. Beachman says every Aviator is built to order and can be customized with different paint colors, leather seats, tank wraps, and accessories. Electrek’s Take I appreciate how Beachman isn’t trying to build futuristic-looking electric motorcycles. Instead, the company has leaned hard into classic styling while quietly integrating the practical benefits of electric drivetrains. The upcoming 125cc-equivalent model is the one that has my attention. We’ve talked before about how this class of electric motorcycle could be a sweet spot for attracting new riders by offering enough speed for real-world transportation without jumping straight into larger, more intimidating motorcycles. If Beachman can deliver on those range and performance claims while maintaining its distinctive retro styling, it could become an interesting option in that growing segment.
