Jason Statham joins a male friend as they go for a ride on their new $8,500 electric bikes

Jason Statham treated himself to a taste of the great outdoors when he met up with a friend in the Malibu Canyon on Thursday. 

The 52-year-old had taken his new electric bike, a CAB Recon out with him, which retails for around $8,499 with another $400 for shipping. 

The bike is said to be one of the most powerful production electric bicycles on the planet.

Jason had dressed casually for his outing, wearing a simple black T-shirt and tracksuit bottoms with Nike trainers. 

He wore a green baseball cap and was seen conversing with his friend before trying out his new bike for size. 

There was no sign of his love, supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, 33, on the day. 

Jason has been enjoying some time away from his career as the coronavirus pandemic has forced the suspension of production on TV and film projects. 

And on Tuesday, Jason was seen driving around on a children’s bike with his son, Jack, two, on the front. 

During the COVID-19 lockdown, Jason joined his glamorous model partner Rosie in celebrating her 33rd birthday last month. 

The supermodel took part in a candid Q&A session ahead of her birthday, revealing all about life during lockdown with her family.   

Among the highlights of her sharing, the blonde bombshell revealed how she first met Jason, that they want more children and that she is proud their son has a ‘proper’ English accent despite living in the US. 

Talking about Jason, she divulged: ‘We met at a party in London in 2009! It was instant chemistry,’ Rosie wrote over a picture of Jason trying on clothes in a fitting room. 

Meanwhile, the media personality gave an update on her son Jack saying he’s doing ‘great’ amid the current pandemic: ‘We are lucky to be enjoying lots of family time together at the moment.’

She added: ‘He’s turning 3 in a few months which I can’t believe. Currently we are attempting potty training!’
