Maeving RM2: the modern classic goes two-up
Source: SteckerBiker/THE PACK News | After surprising the market with the RM1S, a retro-styled electric café racer that fused timeless British design with modern electric drive, Coventry-based Maeving is back with something new: the Maeving RM2.
Familiar powertrain, fresh possibilities
Under the skin, the RM2 sticks to what works. The drivetrain and batteries are identical to the RM1S, meaning riders still get two removable batteries that can be conveniently charged at home or the office. Wheel sizes also remain the same up front, but the rear rim grows slightly wider at 2.5 inches. Standard fitment is Mitas H-02 tires (3.50), keeping the classic look alive.
Finally: a passenger seat
The headline upgrade is clear: the RM2 comes factory-equipped as a two-seater. This addresses one of the most frequent requests from RM1S customers and fans. Maeving also adds a few practical commuter-friendly options:
- Two-seater with luggage rack (+€245)
- Two-seater with Maeving-branded Givi top case (+€400)
There’s a UK-specific twist too: since CBT license holders in Britain aren’t allowed to carry passengers, Maeving will offer the top case as a replacement for the passenger seat.
Colors & customization
Maeving also expands its paint options. Alongside the classic Green, Sand, and Black, the RM2 can be ordered in three new premium finishes:
- Matte Black (stripped-down, no stripes, +€345)
- Metallic Red (bold and elegant, +€345)
- Atlantic Four-Tone Tank (silver front, black or dark blue rear, with red and blue transitions, +€895)
One detail to note: because the riding position is further forward than on the RM1S, tanks are not interchangeable between the two models.
As with the RM1S, riders can still opt for the side bag and K-Tech shocks as accessories.
Pricing & launch offer
The Maeving RM2 starts at €9,495. To sweeten the launch, the first 100 customers in Germany will receive accessories of their choice worth up to €895 free of charge.
First impressions SteckerBiker
With the RM2, Maeving delivers what many riders have been asking for: a practical, everyday retro e-motorcycle with a proper passenger seat. That alone should make the bike more appealing to urban commuters and weekend riders alike.
The only open question: how well will the familiar powertrain handle the added weight of two-up riding? We’ll find out once the first test rides are in. What’s certain is that Maeving isn’t slowing down – the Coventry crew is sticking to its style while taking the next step in shaking up Europe’s electric motorcycle scene.
