The Pave BK is a premium 30 mph, fully street-legal motorbike that strikes a great balance between fun and utility. As someone who always checks the top speed specs first when looking at e-bikes, I was pleasantly surprised to learn that while the BK lacked in top speed, it more than made up for it in terms of utility, design, and, more interestingly, technology—but more on that later.
“The innovative Pave BK is distinctive in design and exhilarating in rider experience. Conceptualized and built in Brooklyn, this electric motorbike is equipped with an industry-first proprietary bike-sharing platform set to disrupt the two-wheeled mobility space and create a community of Pave riders around the world.”
“Minimalist in its design aesthetic, the Pave BK packs a punch. More specifically, the vehicle delivers the power and torque of a small-engine motorcycle but looks like an e-bike. Except that it’s not, because riders aren’t required to pedal.”
“Enough about the hardware, you say, let me hear how it rides! Fair enough, but it took some time to come to terms with its handling. And not because it was hard to ride, but rather the opposite. It's almost too easy.”
“I came to really enjoy my time on the BK. In Sport mode it's quick enough, great for ducking through traffic and scooting around double-parked delivery trucks.”
“The brainchild of brothers Nico and Caspar Nagel of Brooklyn-based Pave Motors, the new electric motorbike is sleek, lightweight, exhilarating to ride, and equipped with industry-first sharing technology set to disrupt the two-wheeled mobility space and create a community of riders.”
“Pave Motors, the electric motorbike manufacturer out of Brooklyn, is positioning its Pave BK e-bike as a sleek fusion of e-bike elegance and compact motorcycle power. Pave BK promises an exhilarating journey through city streets and scenic routes by offering a thrilling ride that seamlessly integrates technology, design, and utility.”
“Yet as I cruised in circles in the parking lot, one thing was certain: I wished I could ditch my car and ride home on the Pave. It would have been better, for me and for everybody else on the road.”
“Two German brothers are paving the way forward for electric vehicles in the Big Apple, as the duo behind e-bike maker Pave Motors are up-and-running at the Brooklyn Navy Yard.”
“Their new electric motorbike, a fusion of an e-bike and an e-motorcycle, is designed to replace short-to-medium distanced car trips, offering a more efficient and eco-friendlier alternative.”
