If it seems too good to be true, it probably is.
That was the old adage running through my head upon beholding Maeving’s new RM2 up close for the first time late Friday afternoon.

Then co-founder Seb Inglis-Jones and I saddled up a couple of bikes for an hour-long spin around Brooklyn and Manhattan.
Long before its conclusion, I decided the wiggle room left by “probably” is where products like this two-wheeled joyride reside.
Twice as nice
So what is the Maeving RM2? The latest compelling release from the upstart urban electric motorcycle brand based in Coventry, England.
Founded by Inglis-Jones and his former university mate William Stirrup in 2018, Maeving builds urban-focused bikes blending retro flair with modern electric motors, first the RM1 and later the higher-performance RM1S and RM1S Blackout, which I wrote about in May.
