Part of the Serial 1’s new 1-OFF series, the Mosh/Chopper will be on auction until 5 p.m. MDT on Tuesday, August 10th, with just one lucky bidder getting to ride it off into the sunset, presumably with the Easy Rider soundtrack playing in their head.
Brought to life by chopper builders Warren Heir, Jr. and Kendall Lutchman at JR’s Fabrication and Welding, the eBike boasts all the winning features of the standard MOSH/CTY, including the maintenance-free Gates Carbon Drive belt, powerful Brose mid-mount motor and integrated lighting.
