When Ateliers HeritageBike designs light electric vehicles, their vision is divergent from most other manufacturers. Rather than stick with modern shapes or introduce futuristic elements, they choose to evoke powerful emotions through graceful lines and curves combined with a racing spirit. This is why their Heritage Spirit “Scrambler” and “CafeRacer” are designed to pay homage to Steve McQueen’s iconic bikes of the past, embracing the history behind them.
Ateliers HeritageBike: “We think you deserve to ride an exceptional motorbike that stands out from the crowd, because your lifestyle and style are unique. The Heritage Spirit Scrambler and CafeRacer embodies the adventure, authenticity and distinctiveness that reflect your personality. True to our values, we have chosen electrification to preserve our environment and offer a silent driving experience that respects our planet. So now you can explore new horizons in harmony with the times, while enjoying a captivating driving experience full of freedom.”
These Heritage Spirit electric mopeds boast 240 Nm of torque for a smooth, unique riding experience. Reaching 45 km/h from a standstill is sure to bring you unbeatable fun. With a full battery, these bikes can travel over 100 kilometers on a single charge with no need to panic searching for plugs. These timelessly designed electric vehicles were crafted to accompany you for your daily commute as well as those special country getaways with style and grace for “lifestyle” adventurers.
The Heritage Spirit Scrambler comes with extra-wide tyres that give it a wild, impulsive look. Michelin Anakee Wilds open up all sorts of possibilities for tackling any terrain. These top-notch tyres offer strong treads, great grip and remarkable stability.
Only the best components are chosen for this range, and that includes the brakes. The Brembo 4-piston brakes in the front and 320 mm disc make for some outstanding stopping power.

About Ateliers HeritageBike
Ateliers HeritageBike is the brainchild of Xavier Wargnier and Guillaume Monsigny, with an eye for design and a desire to create something different. Together, they have set up their company on the banks of Lake Annecy, with five more like-minded partners helping them bring their dream to life. The brand specializes in electrical-assisted bikes that combine modern technology, exquisite craftsmanship and French expertise.
Made in France
Ateliers HeritageBike: “We took up the challenge of creating the most “Made in France” electric bikes possible. From the very beginning of the project, we have chosen French know-how in order to perpetuate and anchor the production on our territory. With this in mind, our bikes are produced exclusively in small limited series. The design, engineering, manufacturing of the frames, the different composite parts, the enameled brand plates, the leather parts, the paints, the assembly and the finishing are made in France. When it was impossible to find an accessory in France that meets our specifications, we prefer European producers.”
