Driven to Ride

Ben Taylor, Beachman Motor Company

Beachman Motor Company makes one of the coolest-looking electric motorcycles you’ve never heard of. It may legally be considered a moped, but don’t get it twisted, you can actually ride their ‘64 model on the road. 

It’s the brainchild of Ben Taylor, the co-founder of the Canadian company, who’s got a soft spot for the classic designs of the 60s and 70s, whether its fashion, cars, or motorcycles. He had a dream to combine the cutting-edge technology of the EV world with the timeless styling of classic small-displacement Japanese motorcycles…think a cafe’d Kawasaki KZ200 or a Honda CB250, with a battery and electric hub-mounted motor instead of an internal combustion engine. After meeting his co-founder, Steve, who was already building cafe-racers for fun, Beachman was born.

But Ben’s aim is higher than just cramming a battery into a classic-styled bike, he wants folks who would normally never throw a leg over a motorcycle to try a Beachman, introduce a whole new crowd to just how fun two wheels can be, and prove to the world that small electric motorcycles can be a viable form of transportation.
