Summer riding season is officially here, and if you are looking to inject a serious dose of retro style into your daily commute or weekend joyrides, the crew at Beachman Bikes has delivered the goods.

As Canada’s newest licensed motorcycle manufacturer in over a decade, this official OEM outfit has spent years bridging the gap between nostalgic aesthetics and clean electric mobility. Their latest drop is an absolute showstopper.

The Beachman Aviator is a gorgeous, zero-emissions machine heavily inspired by the timeless, stripped-down look of 1960s British café racers.

Arriving with a starting price of $5,499 USD for its entry-level configuration, this bike is built for riders who want to make a definitive statement on the asphalt without dealing with the noise, grease, or endless maintenance of a vintage gas engine.

Unified Architecture and Clever Storage

At the core of the Aviator is Beachman’s completely redesigned, unified frame architecture.

Built from the ground up to maximize structural strength, ride stability, and battery security, this premium chassis ensures a smooth, confidence-inspiring experience whether you are carving up tight city corners or cruising sun-drenched coastal roads.

You sit on a plush, rich leather bench seat built to comfortably haul up to two riders, giving you an immediate sense of tactile quality. But the real stroke of design genius lies right where the fuel tank used to be.

Beachman has flipped the script on traditional moto design by transforming the tank into a secure, two-gallon lockable storage compartment.

It’s the perfect place to stash your gloves, charging cables, or a quick run of groceries without ruining the bike’s clean lines with bulky aftermarket saddlebags. There is even an integrated USB-C port tucked away to keep your phone or GPS juiced up on the move.

Pick Your Power: The Three Configurations

Beachman understands that different riders have different needs, which is why they are offering the Aviator in three highly distinct setups.

This allows you to tailor the bike directly to your local regulations, licensing status, and riding experience.

* The Aviator E-Bike ($5,499 USD): A Class 2 entry point with a 20 mph on-road cap (35 mph off-road). No motorcycle license required; can be registered as a 50cc moped. Max capacity of 300 lbs.
* The Aviator Light Motorcycle ($5,999 USD): A licensed motorcycle configuration pushing a 45 mph top speed and 350 lbs capacity, requiring plates, insurance, and a valid M license.
* The Flagship 125cc-Equivalent (Arriving Fall): A highway-capable beast boasting a beefy 8kW motor, 60 mph top speed, and an estimated range of over 125 miles via a fixed 8.2kWh battery.

For both the E-Bike and Light Motorcycle variants, you can customize your range by choosing between a removable 2.8kWh lithium battery (good for roughly 55 miles) or an upgraded 4.3kWh powerhouse that stretches your leash to over 80 miles on a single charge.

Pure Connection Over Digital Clutter

In a world where every new vehicle seems to be turning into a rolling smartphone, Beachman has taken a refreshingly old-school stance with the Aviator’s cockpit.

You won’t find massive, distracting digital touchscreens or finicky companion apps here.

The philosophy is entirely centered on simplicity and an uninterrupted connection between rider, machine, and the road ahead.

“The joy of motorcycling comes from the wind in your face and the road beneath your tires, not navigating software menus or app updates at a red light.”

That stripped-back ethos doesn’t mean they skimped on security or safety, though. The Aviator comes completely loaded with road-legal necessities like a powerful headlight, turn signals, brake lights, and physical mirrors.

To keep your investment safe when parked outside the local coffee shop, it features an integrated 45-degree anti-theft handlebar lock, a double-locked battery bay, a motion alarm system, and remote start/stop capability.

The Verdict

With five retro-inspired stock colorways to choose from, alongside a growing vault of custom tank wraps, leather seat upgrades, and handlebars slated to roll out across the coming year and into 2027, the $5,499 USD Beachman Aviator is a bulletproof addition to any garage rotation.
