£29,000 Blacksheep Power One to star at Bike Shed Moto Show

This weekend’s Bike Shed Moto Show in London will display the all-new limited-edition Blacksheep One electric motorcycle, which is priced at a whopping £29,000.

The show opens its doors today (Friday, May 22) until Sunday, and it will be held at the Tobacco Dock. The event will also see the likes of Harley-Davidson show off a wide range of models, including “never before seen” race bikes, while Royal Enfield will be announcing the winner of its custom Busted Knuckles Build Off competition. 

The electric bike from Blacksheep Power is British-built, designed and engineered from top to bottom, and according to a press release, “is a statement of bespoke luxury and engineering excellence”.

This is not the first time we’ve covered the bike, as we first brought you details of the new model last November. The company also claims a power output of 47bhp and 516 lb-ft of torque. Top speed reaches 80mph, while 0-62mph can be achieved in 4.5 seconds. 

But that last figure is not one that’s likely to interest potential customers too much. Instead, charging times are often what makes or breaks electric bike appeal. Taking care of the bike’s battery supply is a 6.2kWh lithium-ion system which offers up to 100 miles of city range with a charging time of two hours.

Things begin to get very interesting with regards to the electric bike’s powertrain, which features components that are manufactured from CNC-machined stainless steel and aluminium billet.

The new model operates with a wire-free power delivery system where its signals are carried through the billet components that make up the frame.

The Blacksheep Power One will only be available in a total of 50 units, and with the above-mentioned price of £29,000 plus VAT. To secure a built slot, customers will need to pay £1,000 plus VAT.
