The Straight Edge
The first model made by Apparition Motor Vehicles, The Straight Edge is a street-legal motorized bicycle capable of being day-to-day transportation, a weekend ride for leisurely cruises, an optional means of exercise, and the catalyst to your hot-rodding journey. Simple steel construction, straight-forward drivetrain, and standard fasteners where possible make this bike incredibly easy to maintain, modify, and customize. Coupled with manufacturer support and easily accessible resources for learning as you go, this is the perfect vehicle to learn and advance with.
Multiple options at order make sure that the bike you get is the one you want: From brake size and style, accessories such as locking cargo containers, music players, and cupholders, to the myriads of paint options including two-tone, tri-tone, stripes, splatter, and marbling, the possibilities are immense. Then simply tell us the color you want, and we'll do our best to find it. Rest assured the bike you get will be the one for you. And if you're not sure what you want when you go to order, you can get the foundation trim and build it up as you ride and discover what you want.
Save Money
Convenient Transportation
If your commute consists of mainly city streets and residential roads, you can save money and time with a motorized bicycle. 30mph legal top speed* and not looking or paying for parking are a winning combo for helping you save.
100+ mpg helps too.
Versatility
Ride Your Way
Motorized bikes can be ridden in bike lanes, on city streets, and some bike paths*. Use the gas engine alone and make sure you don't arrive sweaty and tired. Throttle back a little and pedal for exercise when you want it. Or shut the engine off and ride it like a normal bike.
49cc Gasoline Engine
100+ MPG fuel economy and up to 4 horsepower. Easy maintenance and performance mods.
Hot-Rodding encouraged.
Front and Rear Disk Brakes
Stop safely with ease and minimize mud or water getting in the way, like on v-brakes.
As Low as 55lbs
Easy to move around while parking or working on. Increased range from lighter total weight and less rotational mass compared to hub motors.
~33F/67R Weight Distribution
Low rear-mounted seat, long wheelbase, and purposeful design help the rear wheel stay on the ground during hard stops, increasing brake grip, control, and safety.
