Beachman 64 Street Spec: The Electric Café Racer That’s More Than Just a Style Icon

By bike_ev_admin December 4, 2025 3 min read

The electric motorcycle world has no shortage of quirky designs, but few manage to blend nostalgia and modern tech as effectively as the Beachman ‘64 Street Spec. This new electric café racer channels classic 1960s style while offering practical urban performance — and just enough personality to stand out in a crowded market.

A Retro Café Racer Reborn With Electric Power

The original café racers were lightweight, stripped-down machines built for sprinting between London coffee shops. The Beachman ‘64 revives that spirit with:

A bubble-style windscreen
Slim vintage-inspired profile
Street-focused tires
Minimalist bodywork

It captures the aesthetic of a bygone era without the reliability headaches of vintage gas engines. No oil leaks, no carburettors, no hunting for a mechanic who understands points ignition — just clean, quiet electric riding.

Three Riding Modes + One Off-Road Mode

Beachman built the ‘64 on a highly flexible platform that can legally qualify as:

An e-bike
A moped
A light motorcycle

Depending on the selected trim and mode, the bike offers different speed caps:

E-Bike Mode: 20 mph
Moped Mode: 30 mph
Light Motorcycle Spec: 50 mph
Off-Road Mode: 45 mph

This adaptability allows the ‘64 to comply with various regulations and gives riders freedom to choose how spirited they want their commute to be.

Motor and Performance

At the heart of the Beachman ‘64 is a:

3,000W (4 hp) brushless hub motor
72V electrical architecture
Max load capacity: 350 lbs

Four horsepower may sound modest, but with the bike weighing just 230 lbs, it delivers snappy, agile performance around the city. In E-Bike Mode, output drops to about 750W, keeping it compliant with bike-lane rules where allowed.

Battery Options and Charging

The ‘64 Street Spec offers two battery configurations:

Standard Battery

2.8 kWh (40 Ah)
Up to 55 miles of range

Optional Extended Battery

3.6 kWh (50 Ah)
Up to 70 miles of range

Both packs are removable, weighing about 35 lbs, and include a carry handle so riders can charge them indoors like a large laptop.

Charging times:

3 hours to 80% on a standard household outlet
90 minutes with an optional fast charger
Regenerative braking adds extra efficiency

Price and Customisation

The Beachman ‘64 Street Spec starts at just $5,750, making it one of the most stylish and affordable electric café racers on the market.

Optional upgrades include:

$550 for hand-stitched leather seats and hand-applied pinstriping
$1,000 for bespoke paint matching

For the price of an old used car, riders get a brand-new electric motorcycle with vintage charm and zero emissions.

Who Is It For?

The ‘64 Street Spec is ideal for:

Urban commuters
New riders
Retro design lovers
Students and young professionals
Anyone wanting a low-maintenance, affordable electric moto

Instead of complicated apps or over-engineered dashboards, the bike keeps the interface simple — a refreshing change in a world of software-heavy EVs.

Conclusion

The Beachman ‘64 Street Spec isn’t just a stylish electric café racer — it’s a modern, practical, and charming machine built for real everyday riding. With its removable battery, flexible legal classifications, and retro-inspired aesthetics, it’s an approachable EV that brings the spirit of the 1960s into the electric age.

Nimble, nostalgic, and surprisingly affordable, it proves that the future of electric mobility doesn’t have to be sterile. Sometimes it can look like a classic and ride like a modern commuter.
