Summary
In this episode of the Fully Charged Show Podcast, Imogen Bhogal sits down with Seb Inglis-Jones, the co-founder and CEO of Maeving, the UK’s leading electric motorcycle manufacturer.
Seb shares the origin story of Maeving — from building a team of ex-Triumph and Norton engineers to hand-building retro-styled electric bikes in Coventry. They dive into the beauty of removable batteries, reviving two-wheeled mobility and manufacturing in the UK and, what it takes to convert even the most loyal of petrolheads to electric!
Seb also explains how Maeving is expanding internationally — city by city — and why the joy, calm, and mindfulness of electric motorbiking is pulling in a new generation of riders.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another episode of the fully charged show podcast where today |
| 0:08.4 | we're catching up with Seb English Jones, who is the co-founder and CEO of Maving, a motorbike |
| 0:14.3 | and electric motorbike company based here in the UK. |
| 0:17.5 | Now if you've not heard of Maving before, then go and take a look on Google Images. |
| 0:21.1 | Have a look at their beautiful bikes. They have the RM1 and the RM1S, both of which |
| 0:26.2 | just need CBTs. So your compulsory basic training rather than a full motorbike license. |
| 0:32.8 | They are truly beautiful, perhaps really well known for their retro futuristic design. |
| 0:38.7 | And in this episode, |
| 0:43.3 | we're going to get into the details of maving, how this startup came to be. What are some of their challenges in terms of creating electric motorbikes here in the UK? And how can we get |
| 0:48.2 | more people onto two-wheeled electric mobility? Now, one thing that we did mention is Price |
| 0:53.8 | fairly early on in the podcast, |
| 0:55.2 | and what I didn't mention is that actually you can lease these bikes for less than the cost |
| 1:00.4 | of a monthly oyster card. So that can make them super, super compelling. So all of that is coming, |
| 1:07.0 | but first, a very quick advert break. We've teamed up with Jurosail Energy to celebrate their brilliant ecosystem of home energy |
| 1:14.9 | products and their platinum home owner offer by giving away a Juriselle bunny. |
| 1:19.9 | To win, simply watch to the end and answer a question about fully charged. |
| 1:25.0 | Seb, thank you so much for joining us on the podcast on this really rather lovely Thursday |
| 1:29.3 | morning. |
| 1:31.0 | There will be so many people listening who will be absolutely familiar with who Maving is. |
| 1:35.7 | They will have either seen you at one of our live shows or seen the amazing episode that Jack |
| 1:39.2 | did in the summer last year. |
| 1:41.6 | But perhaps for those who aren't familiar, could you give us the elevator pitch? |
