Hey, I really like watching your videos but have noticed the video looks choppy and somewhat pixelated even at higher resolutions. Since 95% of your videos are in motion I would recommend increasing the frames per second to 60fps or 120fps in your camera settings.
Rocket mode - well if you ask me - is extreme likely working via feeding the motor on the bike without current limit until it starts to overheat. Which is the legal way to improve performance, and remain classified in the same livense tier as 50cc scooters (well in the EU), as regulation checks sustained max power, not how high you can spike power output temporarily.
I saw this bike in the dealer not too long ago and it really feels like a Segway x260 feels like a really small frame and they told me $5800 out the door.heck no
Why does every test bike have the footpegs mounted on the wrong side? Or is that just an optical illusion? They sure look like they are set up to fold forward at an angle instead of backwards at an angle. Nice bike and a nice review.
How come every light e-moto is not properly setup? If they all require mods, seems like somebody would realize this and make one with a better front end, removal of the brake sensors, etc.
So this is a competitor for the Czech made Drill EVO One? The Drill EVO One is 50 pounds lighter and has a continuous power of 11 (or 15 kW), has a better (stiffer) frame and swing arm but is $3000 more expensive.
I like the idea of a quiet running bike...lol, that's appealing in many circumstances but all of the Computer garbage is not any fun b/c when you're doing that you ain't riding. Brake sensors that can shut the bike down is a problem & the idea of having to reboot a Bike like your laptop, it has no place in an adventurers life? Turn the key, then the throttle = GO Go go...simple is like quiet in how cool it is but everything is moving into difficult? Thanks for the video
Guys, is there any western made electric motorbike? Those are all just rebranded chinese bikes. Not saying they are not good, but I just would like to know to compare them.
We hear you! Much of the market is currently dominated by Chinese made bikes. There are several made in Europe (Stark, Electric Motion, KTM, Cake) One bike on it's way that we're very excited about is the Dust Moto - Made in the USA. Also, one of the manufacturers that has been in the game the longest, Zero Motorcycles, is a USA brand.
@@ElectricCycleRider thank you, looking forward to it!! Would love something in this Beta Explorer or Ultra Bee category, that looks like an enduro but can be used on the streets and is western made.
Are they 7/8 bars? Can you upgrade things like the stem or bar height? Can you even upgrade those terrible looking grips? What’s the drive line like? Are chains sprockets etc easily upgraded with off the shelf items? Break upgrades or anything? Any one know?
Get a different controller 😀 Boost is a gimmick. Manufacturers should give you max power when you give it full throttle. Then have the controller cut you off when the motor, controller, or battery are beyond a safe thermal limit.
Rocket mode. WHY 10 seconds? Well that's easy. Motor heat. MOTOR HEAT.. Short high power bursts, no damaging heat buildup But continuously running at 12kW would eventually melt motor windings or damage the permanent magnet s in it. The motor is not made for continuous high kW power operation. Sur Ron X has the same issue. When guys put aftermarket batteries and motor controllers on their stock motors, those motors get smoked.
So many of these half ass bikes out there. They all require so many upgrades and modifications. Chasing something that will never be as good as it should be. Sadly, most people don't find that out until they are $10k into the thing.
When are they going to get rid of the chain and sprocket and have the motor in the rear wheel? Is it a matter of too much unsprung weight locating the motor in the rear wheel or is it that the motor can't handle the abuse?
shock is bad for the motor as its not dampened enough in the rear or front wheel. Middle motor also gives you more punch. Very likely you also have more options of cooling it in the centre than in the wheel. That´s just what I picked up on that thought so far.
Correct in your 2 assumptions. Abuse and weight but a couple more things too. Hub motors are OK for on road applications. Mid Drive is the only way to go for off road. Making the rear wheel assembly heavy is bad news from a design standpoint. Really bad. Motor longevity, plus the unsprung weight is detrimental to suspension characteristics. Ugly rear suspension behavior, and poor balancing as well, rear weighted instead of a bike that's center weighted to handle better. Hub motors have two distinct advantages. They can be very high powered, and they are cheaper than designing a mid drive. But no one wants and off road hub drive bike or motorcycle. Bleh.
Generally,heavy motor mounted in rear axle make too much unsprung weight,its not a easy task for a cheap rear shock like KKE or other brand,even for kyb,its better to make a light unsprung weight rear end desgin.More sunsprung weight means more bounced energy to punch your hand or butt.
Well it is entry level. If you want "real" dirt bike power you'll spend over $12000 for that power level. If you think $5000 is a lot of money there are hundreds of toy electric bikes out there that cost less.
Its pretty ugly compared to the varg These e bike companies need to realize that the dirtbike aesthetic doesn't need to be changed The varg did it right by making it look like a normal moto
