Welcome to Third Angle, where we’re revving into the world of motorcycles!   Today, we're exploring the fascinating world of electric motorcycles with a spotlight on the Maeving Motorcycle Company, supported by PTC partner Concurrent Engineering.  Its latest model, the Maeving RM1S, is a significant upgrade from the RM1. With twice the power and a top speed of 70 miles per hour, it’s designed for urban commuters and those who travel beyond the city limits.   Our producer, Helen Lennard, had the opportunity to meet with co-founder Seb Inglis-Jones, who gave her a demo of their latest model, the Maeving RM1S. It draws inspiration from the 1920s and the café racer era of the 1960s and 70s, epitomized by icons like James Dean and Steve McQueen. It’s a testament to innovation and design, echoing the rich motorcycle heritage of Coventry, where British manufacturers have been designing and manufacturing bikes since the late 19th century.
