A SYMBOL
of FREEDOM
ORIGINATING IN 1960S CZECHOSLOVAKIA, THE HISTORIC "LA BOHÈME" BRAND IS AN EXPRESSION ITS RIDERS' CAREFREE LIFESTYLES, AS WELL AS BEING A TESTAMENT TO THE COUNTRY'S CRAFTSMANSHIP AND INNOVATION.
next-gen café racer
Rooted in our love for Café Racer motorcycles, the Type 702 concept veers away from replicating the style of the past and strives for a contemporary twist.
Speed is the heartbeat of such a motorbike, and nothing ignites that thrill quite like the rapid acceleration of a sporty electric motor. Paired with a lightweight build (that utilises numerous 3D-printed components) means it is among the world's fastest motorbikes in its class.
Features in detail
Tailor-made electronics regulate the entire speed spectrum, driven by 10kWh battery packs, ensuring thrilling performance and range dependability.
The patented RevFlex throttle provides both acceleration and deceleration functions. With braking, it can generate up to 600W, extending the range of the battery by up to 10km. Expect a city range of approximately 200-250km.
Premium equipment comprises Brembo brakes, Radial brake levers, Bluetooth speakers, ABS, Continental belt drive, Rizoma accessories, USB outlet, security cameras, GPS tracking and carbon detailing. It will be available in both modern and retro body kits, the latter paying homage to another symbol of 1960s freedom, the Jaguar e-type (and designed locally by H.E.L.S. Design).
Available in Prague, Paris and London. Each is stamped with its own individual number, like owning a piece of history with a futuristic twist.

Front suspension upgrade:
UPSIDE-DOWN FORK. The inverted telescopic fork system, where the upper tubes (fixed fork tube) have a larger diameter than the lower ones (immersion or sliding tube), increases torsional rigidity while preventing torsion in the fork bridge. The tube and bridge of the fork are made of aluminium, which ensures a perfect connection of surfaces under pressure. The key advantage is the very long guide of the immersion tube through the fixed tube of the fork.

Revflex throttle:
Our own patented 3-position throttle called 'Revflex', allows you to accelerate, coast or decelerate (with recuperation and illuminating brake light). Braking with the throttle generates up to 600W of power back to the battery. In this way battery range is extended and brake pads last longer.

ABS:
ABS is an abbreviation for Anti-lock Brake System. It is an active vehicle safety system that prevents the wheel from locking up during braking and thus the loss of adhesion between the wheel and the road, thus allowing the stability and controllability of the vehicle to be maintained in extreme situations (for example, during hard braking).

Premium tyres:
Minimum tread is 1,6mm but we recommend 2,5mm because the handling and safety of a motorbike noticeably declines below this level. We currently recommend Metzeler Roadtec 01 as the best-tested Touring tyre. Its construction helps even out the wear caused by an electric motorbike's higher torque. And use of a tyre sealant like Slime prevents immediate deflating.

Stand switch cutoff:
We add a switch to the motorbike's stand in order to cutoff power to the throttle when it is deployed. In this way it is impossible to ride the bike when it is parked, preventing it being used when charging etc.

FAQs
general enquiry
How can I get in touch with Devs?
What forms of payment do you accept?
We accept bank transfers to our Czech company bank account. All deposits are refundable subject to terms and conditions.
sales
What motorbikes are available?
Small-series production will begin in late summer 2024. We will make only one per month of the launch edition. If you want to be informed when new motorbikes will be available for sale, please register your interest or follow us on Instagram @devs.bike.
Do you sell outside Czechia?
Yes, the 702 has EU homologation and is road-legal. Our first sales dealers will be available in Paris and London areas.
Can I return my motorbike?
You can return your motorcycle within 14 days of the day you received it, if it is in new and original condition. The shipping costs associated with returning the motorbike are at your own charge and the motorbike must be in its original packing and not exhibit any signs of usage. Alternatively, we will accept returns at our own discretion and apply a restocking fee of 15%.
services
What is the warranty policy?
We give a two-year warranty on our motorbikes. Our sustainability pledge to continue to support them and keep them running for as long as possible.
maintenance
What maintenance is required?
An electric motorcycle requires no oil changes, fuel filters, spark plugs or emission checks. Instead we offer an annual Maintenance Inspection of your vehicle to check the battery and electronics systems and implement any available upgrades that improve your motorbike.
Do I have to be careful when I wash the motorbike?
We add silicon gel to all the electrical connections and there is not really any possibility of creating a shortcut. But still it is important to be careful not to allow water to collect in pools inside the motorbike which may cause corrosion. For this reason we do not recommend to use any hose with water jet. The better way is to use a cloth, soap and a bucket of hot water. Our tip to polish the panels - use e.g. a furniture polish like Pronto. It's cheap and just as effective as specialist products.
legal
What licence do I need?
The Type 702 is in European vehicle class "L3e-A1" (like 125cc). It is possible to ride A1 with a B car licence in the Czech Republic. Other countries like Austria require a 1-day basic training course without test. It's best to contact your local driving authorities as rules can change. With regards to safety, the 702 is not a beginner's bike and we prefer owners with a minimum of 3 years' experience by either car or motorbike.
Can I ride on the motorway?
Electric motorbikes can go on the motorways in Europe as long as they go fast enough to safely stay keep up in traffic. This means it would be OK, for example, to use our Type 702 since 140km/h suffices. Note e-motorbikes' range is significantly decreased at high speed.
batteries
How do I charge?
Plug the charging cable into the bike's charger socket and the other end into any standard 120-240V AC household socket. Charging is completely automatic using custom electronic systems that will optimise the lifetime of the battery.
How long to charge the pack?
In the EU, it charges at a rate of 1650W from a domestic 220-240v socket. The 10kWh pack will therefore charge from 0% to 100% in ~6 hours. In other words, it's perfect for overnight charging. We chose this power level as being the fastest charge rate whilst still being safe to use almost anywhere. It is possible to charge a lot faster - even as quickly as 60 minutes with DC-DC charging - but we don't recommend this because it shortens the life of the battery as well as being less safe.
How do I know when to charge?
There is a meter in the instrument panel that reads just like a petrol gauge. If you are running low, a warning light will flash and we recommend you switch to the slowest mode. Electronics prevent over discharge.
Are the batteries safe?
The battery pack uses NCM Li-ion cells (the same manufacturer's cells as used by Tesla). They are proven safe according to the legal regulations of UN R136 tests and recyclable with a long lifetime when properly operated.
How long does the pack last?
If looked after correctly, tests indicate a peak life of at least 2000 cycles over 10 years, which is in the range of approximately 400,000km. During this time, its capacity (and range) falls by around 20%, but of course it remains useable in the bike or maybe recycled. The pack contains sophisticated management systems and is maintenance free.
