Harley-Davidson is getting into the bike business-- as in, a normal bicycle. On Nov. 16, the longtime American motorcycle manufactured will release Serial 1, the first electric bicycle in what will be a new product line.

Harley-Davidson launched its first electric motorcycle, the LiveWire, last year, but had production issues.

The new bike is designed for "motorcycle enthusiasts, commuters and first-timers," according to a statement. It will feature an electric-assist, so when you pedal the electric motor, a battery will give you some extra power to move along.

See a video unveiling the new bike below. Sign up for updates on the new ride here.
