....filming 90% with another camera😂

The entire video is an advertisement for primarily Insta360 cameras, and then the bike (and straps, plus other stuff I probably missed). His comment at the end about it being a gateway bike for "normies" into motorcycles is 100% marketing. Overall a fairly disgusting video as it's using all the sneaky style marketing/sales/psychology techniques you'd normally see in free to play lootbox abusing mobile games.

Welcome to Bikes and Beards. Hope you enjoyed your first video.

Blaaa, blaaaaa, bla, blaaa

Almost zero consumers read instructions until they encounter a problem. Been a thing for over a century!

It's normal round here.

Reading the instructions is the means of last resort.

Look into the Talaria XXX , it's much cheaper and it's pretty much the same thing

That’s awesome. I wish I had a job where I could ride dirt bikes for most of the day. Thank you for sharing one of your Stories. I’m 47, I grew up in another era but still before the tech came along, so grew up riding dt’s and old AG bikes and then moved up to Yamaha yz 2 stroke and then 2 stroke cr 500, before electronic everything… had a blast growing up and still ride to this day. I have some awesome stories too from the 80’s riding dirt bikes through suburbia, on golf courses and parks and schools.. getting chased by cops every day 😂

@@aleho1 I wish I could ride dirt bikes all day too at work, but unforutnely I just ride it to and from work

@@jasonsierchio1167 what, the crestline realtor job? Where you rode the trails all day long?

The talaria is a 60 volt 45 mph 6000 watt dirt bike. This is a 72 volt 10kw street legal 64 mph bike that is lighter than the xxx. You can also get a 15kw version. The eride pro ss is a bit better of a comparison but it's not street legal and has no Regen but double the torque for 4800ish.

Legal reasons. If it is a new item, it is considered a lottery and for that you need a special license. If they use and abuse it, it's not considered a valuable prize and thus it's not a lottery... These laws are state dependent, but I 'm sure you can imagine how they don't want to be worrying about that one fan order from a restrictive state that makes the giveaway illegal.

@@lukearts2954 Fair enough, it would be hard for any state to consider trash valuable. I think that once they are done turning it into trash though, that they should just recycle the battery and take the rest to the dump where trash belongs instead of suggesting that they are giving away any kind of prize.

They gotta test it out properly

That’s what makes it special. He rode it. He abused it. It has his touch to it. That’s what makes it valuable to his viewers.

how did you know that, do you own one? if you do own one do you like it?

@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 I just know a little bit about Ebikes. I don't have one I wish I could afford one. But thanks to the president I'm living in poverty on SSDI.

Pretty spot on , he might need to change the settings to Regen when the throttle isn't active and wheel spinning or using ebs Regen with the brakes.

It also could be hooked up to the front brake. Regen is a joke. 2% max

@@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884 your wrong depends on how much it is set to and what controller it is. If you use a ASI BAC controller you can get way more than 2% and also without Regen I was replacing my brake pads every 3mo and since I now have it working right I haven't changed my pads in over a yr. So apparently your not doing something right. Or your talking out your butt. Lol

I agree, I noticed the market is jumping and as more of these light duty e-dirt bike style bikes come out the better they are

​@@geridrhbut you know what the problem with this is they're not considered bicycles because they don't have pedals now in some states you're going to have the police sniffing up your behind if you're on highways and roads and so on so it would strictly be for the dirt but to be honest with you I'd go gasoline all the way on a dirt bike there really is no comparison

Until a week ago, it irritated me to a different level to click on a video & not see what caught my eye in the thumbnail picture. I have learned that at first RU-vid selected 3 thumbnail images for the owner of the channel to choose from. Then, it was said that RU-vid narrowed down to 1 thumbnail of RU-vids choosing. Since I have found out I am a bit more lenient & less irritated. I have watched 3 car videos this week with Jay Leno in the thumbnail pic. Not 1 of 3 said videos had Jay in them.

@@sticknzmud2723 That's not correct. The owner uploads the thumbnails and the RU-vid algorithm gives feedback on what thumbnail performs best based on user interactions. The owner then has the option to select whatever option they want but will typically select the one that scored best, in this case the click bait one.

@@sticknzmud2723 The auto thumbnail thing. It creates thumbnails from the scenes in the video. If it's not in the video it will not be in the thumbnail. The thumbnail on this video was intentionally uploaded by @BikesandBeards So much for all the Bible crap he puts in his content.

I wish all (pedal) bikes had the front on the right and the rear on the left...it would make more sense then trying to forget when you switch to a motorcycle!

@@miicar204 The levers and cable ends are the same between bars. Just switch the lever the cable goes to. The run of the cables is about the same distance and with a little adjustment they usually will reach either side.

I am talking about switching on the bicycle not the motorcycle that would be way more difficult

That's how I have my bicycles set up! Right front, left rear. Swap the cables from side to side yourself, or ask a shop or coop to switch em for ya. Also known as "moto" or "euro" brake setup (at least for us Americans lol)

​@@miicar204For me it's the opposite. I am actually going to switch my brakes around on my Can Am Renegade. I'm afraid I'll try to brake and fly over the front as mind wants the rear brake to be on the left.

Boohoo get over it

Stunt riders use a hand rear brake

Some dirt bike/dual sport guys run left hand brakes after installing a Recluse auto clutch. Works awesome off road.

Hand brakes are just better. Far more control in your hand than in your ankle with a moto boot on. Also, it means no compromising on foot position to use the rear break. Only reason foot brakes exist is because of the need to use a clutch with one hand. Anyone who can ride a pedal bike can use duel hand brakes. Makes sense foot brakes are dying out on ebikes, as foot brakes are just a compromise that doesn't need to be made on clutchless ebikes.

@@colbeycalistinson7914 They are pretty rare. There are no replacement parts. Production was short, they were sold at a loss.

They are getting kinda good ngl but still not good enough to really use as a daily thing in most parts of america. This range of the one in the video is slightly worse than the mileage of my 1980 cb400 and takes a few hours to charge. but with the cb400, just gas and go yn? i hope they figure out instant charging pretty soon.

Indoctrinated bias from those who have a financial interest in dirty transportation and energy.

I could use one around town or anything EV for that matter. Now for longer distance or towing I'm still using an ice vehicle. Its actually a big help,that many less people using gas should bring prices down I hope.

This is where I think EVs in their current state excel. Shorter distances and commuting (most people don't drive very far for commuting).

@@callummclachlan4771 exactly! my workplace has ev plugs, and L2 charging- so there's no wait for me to get in a charge bay. Bonus: no gas shortage for me if a storm's coming. As long as I have power, I have vehicle. Although, my bike acts as my backup vehicle if there's no power so *shrug*

@@volvo09 If you thought this was going to be a serious review, well...

It's actually the common place if you don't have a clutch. The DCT VFR1200 doesn't have it, but most other two wheelers do.

No it's not, you can buy a surron or talaria for waay cheaper, I'm talking 3-5k and they are just as fast if not faster and a bigger brand. He's just probably sponsored by these people

For 8-10k you can get a Surron Storm Bee. A bit more expensive, but about double the power output (10kW vs 22.6kW Max) but it also provides some 600NM of torque. It does 0 to 80kmh (0 - 50mph) in 4 seconds

A caofen f80 is fairly similar to this, cheaper with a liquid cooled 72v 48ah battery.

Surons are 60 volts stock and pretty slow but with good torque. You're looking at 4k+ to make them 72 volt. The eride pro ss is about 5k and does 55 mph and is closer to this. You can also get a race mode 15kw version of this for 800 more and both are street legal.

Maybe he just doesn't like bikes, and that's okay. Better to let him be himself and show interest in what he likes. Don't end up like my dad who puts down everything I like and pushes his opinions on me. I can't stand him anymore.

Except in many european countries a used harley costs a lot more than 6k

My Tao Leo gets me to work while my paid off car sits, and doesn't eat into my pocket. I plug my bike in at work on a 110v and have a full charge in roughly 3.5 hrs from a 18 mile commute banging 50mph most of the way. If you live close enough to work, ie: 25 miles/40km, I highly recommend riding a electric motorcycle rather than paying for fuel, maintenance, wear and tear, etc. On a 72v 40AH battery, my commute is a 25% of my battery. For reference, I'm 205lbs. I was 170lbs last season and got better range. $3,700 Cdn vs the $5,200 in service I put into my car in the last 2/3yrs.... The math ain't hard. Go electric.
