The Czech Electric Motorcycles Drill One is an electric dirt bike that utilizes electric motorcycle and mountain bike components that results in a lightweight electric dirt bike that falls into the lightweight e bike category. The Drill One has an electric motor that produces a nominal 11kW and a peak output of 15kW, which is an impressive amount of power for a bike this size. It features a Manitou Dorado front fork and an Elka rear shock. The handlebars are Pro Taper MTB bars with a 3" rise and are mounted to a direct mount stem. To stop the bike, it's fitted with Hayes Dominion 4 piston brakes. CZEM helped update this test model with a 21 inch Excel Moto Wheel and that has been a big improvement on this bike.

Is it a Sur Ron Destroyer? Due to testing, that question is yet to be answered in this video but I did want to address why the CZEM Drill One would be compared to a Sur Ron X. Despite their differences in price, both electric dirt bikes are lightweight bikes weighing in at 115-120 pounds. They both utilize mountain bike brakes, handlebar, stem, fork and shock. They are both mid drive chain driven motors. They both have similar battery capacity. They both have motocross style wheels mounted to mountain bike style hubs. At this point in time, there are no 2 electric dirt bikes of this category that are more similar than the CZEM Drill One and Sur Ron X.

For everyone upset about the price: We are a media channel REVIEWING the bike. We do not sell this bike or any bikes for that matter. For everyone upset about the title: We are having a laugh. It is meant to be tongue in cheek. Don't take it too seriously. (00:18) For everyone that is still upset after reading this: Go ahead and throw a tantrum below, thanks!

@caramelzappa 3 года назад

I said it on the other vid, and it's still true: For that price, it HAS to be better than the sur-ron. While a comparison between them is fine since they are in the same category, there's no question that at 3x the cost of the sur-ron, if this bike wasn't better it would be DOA. The question becomes, is it better to buy this and ride it as is or upgrade a sur-ron. Lots of peoples sur-rons end up costing 9K after they replace the battery, controller, forks, etc. That's the comparison I'd like to see. What's the value difference between a $9k, upgraded sur-ron and the Drill One, which one provides better value once you've built them up to the same price.

AWESOME TUCKER 15K view's already! I've been talking with them(cz)for over a year now to get mine. Thanks for updates and giving me the opportunity to build wheels for you. Yes they are completely similar to the SR but so very different. The D1 actually fits a normal size adult unlike the SR's whitch kinda makes you look comical because looks like your riding a kids bike/pit bike. These hybrid midsized EV's witch use both MTB & MC parts are awesome! Has made a completely new segment to the MC market! This is the real only thing the two bikes have in common I think. One is a entry model and the other is a pure performance expert model. Each doing well what the company's designed intention was. SR`S stamped aluminum frame compared to the tubular aluminum D1 frame is the first of many BIG difference between the two.. Glad you got your hands on it and keep up the awesome work your doing 🤘

Looking forward to the review of the Evo version, wish they had an optional range extender pack under the seat. Keep up the great content. Sure a lot of sensitive Sur Ron fans out there. The CZEM is cheaper than a bunch of high end E-mtb and even some that don't have any assist, so I am sure there is enough of a market for this bike. I think I would choose it over the CAKE I just think it is great to see some options in this market segment. Be cool to see a comparison of the new Evo vs the modified XX.

Top speed on sur ron is 47 mph at $3,600 Top speed on drill one is 55 at $9,000 A new controller and battery for sur ron is rounded Up to 2,500 which adds up to $6,000+ Upgraded sur ron can go past 55mph and if tuned correctly can go 86mph. The stock sur ron lasts a bit longer than an hour on sport mode depending on how much you weigh. I would say overall nothing beats the sur ron yet. The price entry is there The customizable setup is there. The after market parts is there And the batterys are getting better from litespeed with more options

Compared to the Sur Ron are the “ergonomics” any better.?

I just got my Sur Ron X, and I really like it! Does the Drill have better fenders? Basically does the Drill eliminate the standard mods you outline in your videos needed on Sur Ron ( tires, brakes, fenders, bars, bar mount, etc.)?

Its not a Chinese product. E.g. Only 2 fictionless bearings in the motor costs about 300-400$. 3. It's not true that on the highest mode battery will lasth for only 1 hour. The battery is enough for about 2-2,5 hours. 4. Perfect weight distribution 50/50% 5. Over 450Nm of torque on the wheel, so climbing on even steep hills is easy. 7. In my opinion the most beautiful frame in this class of vehicles.

@GeddyRC 3 года назад

Biggest thing holding me back from grabbing an e dirt bike is the lack of a clutch. I rode dirt bikes for a couple years and I modulate power like crazy using the clutch because my right hand has some wrist issues - while I'm riding through rocks and getting kicked around, I have a much easier time modulating a lever in one direct than keeping my wrist twisted the right amount. Particularly considering the bike is electric and so I can't hear the engine (to get a better idea of where I am on the throttle position), a clutch lever would be amazing. I'm honestly really surprised that no manufacturers have added a left-side lever that cuts throttle power, essentially imitating how a clutch lever would function.

@ElectricCycleRider 3 года назад

@Geddy V I hear you. Having a clutch would make all of these bikes better, especially when the going gets rough. It seems to be both a cost issue for the manufacturers and they want to allow both brakes to be up on the handlebars, another thing I am not a huge fan of. I would be in favor of a rear foot brake and a clutch up on the bars. Thanks for the note.

@alextaylor8776 Год назад

There is one, it’s a trials electric bike. I can’t recall the manufacture but they have a clutch type system mounted on the left bar on their electric bike just like a motorbike. Don’t ask me about the rear brake cause I can’t remember how they set this up. Do some research, you’ll find it.

Tucker... great quality video from you. We notice you did not mention there are actually 2 options with motor sprockets and gearing.

Which sprockets are you running on your Drill? High speed or high torque? Thanks EBMX.

@salesebmx4696 3 года назад

@@ElectricCycleRider great Tucker. The mountain gearing is definitely the way to go on these bikes after testing both as the higher gearing sacrifices to much speed off the line.... It may be good though for your viewers to understand this setup actually limits top speed on this set up on 19 inch rear to 75kph and on the 16 inch rear to 66kph with the motor at 7000rpm. Most customers bikes will actually be limited to 6200rpm controller tune which will decrease top speed by a further 8%. The overall gearing ratio for the mountain sprocket is 10.88:1.

@goopman5627 3 года назад

For everybody complaining that this bike is $9,500, go by a cheap Chinese e-bike or nothing at all. In my opinion 9K is more than a fair price. This is clearly a high quality piece of equipment with a ton of research and development behind it to get it to your front door all nicey nice so you can just jump on it and go play. This is not something that's stamped out on some giant multi billion dollar companies assembly line. These are essentially made to order and a very niche product. Just the battery technology alone in my opinion is worth it. This is a big boy toy for people with big boy money and clearly targeted towards people who want a high-end product..not for someone who typically stores their bikes in their parents' garage or outside in some dilapidated shed. Stop complaining and go out and make the money to where you can comfortablely afford one of these.. as there are lots of people out there that can and will...or find something better to do than complain about shit you'll never have..

@ElectricCycleRider 3 года назад

@Goop Man You bring up some great points. An unfathomable amount of resources are required to develop any motorcycle and we are lucky to have small companies that take a huge risk to develop bikes that push the industry forward. I'd like to add that EVERY bike in 2021 is expensive. It doesn't matter if it's gas, electric or a straight up bicycle. I don't want to discredit $9K for being a small sum of money because it is indeed a lot of money but most new mountain bikes fall within this price range. Something to consider!

I like this guys videos and like the way he rips on a bike. I have a fully modified 2020 SRX and I can assure you my Fox suspension and Woody's Wheelworks 21/16 wheelset are far superior to the stock D1. Not sure about my EMB controller kit being faster but has to be close. With all the bar, tubeless, no. plates all around and other goodies(that both bikes require for HS racing) I'm into it for 8k. Add that SR has produced for 3 yrs. with no frame breaks to my knowledge, the D1 has a lot to prove before any real conclusions can be made. I wish this Czech company well, they're great folks. And it looks like a bashguard would require a redesign or it would already have one. But it'll be fun as heck to see what happens.

@akammer1000 3 года назад

Seeing the trend of 29" wheels in the mountain bike sector, I wonder why the electric bikes like these aren't adopting larger wheel size to get the benefits of bigger clearance and roll over compared to the small wheels? Is there something I'm missing?

@ElectricCycleRider 3 года назад

@Adam Kammer Great question and I'll do my best to answer it correctly. A 21" front and 18"/19" rear is the golden standard for dirt bikes. Moto wheels are measured differently than mountain bikes. A 19" moto wheel with a moto tire is similar in diameter to a 26" mountain bike wheel. Beyond that, bigger wheels aren't necessarily better. They do roll over obstacles better but it makes the bike less nimble. It also requires more energy and power to get a bigger wheel rolling up to speed.

When I switch to Drill, I feel like I'm enduring, unfortunately I'll have to sell Surron because I don't want to upgrade, it would be more expensive and it will still be small.

@SmokytheBear6969 3 года назад

Sur-ron puts down big numbers and came in far cheaper than 9.3k+ tax , have bac8000 NXT display and the 72v litspeed pack/W Fisher Fab light came in alot less, can dial "everything" on the fly. If i had to choose again I'd save the money and do the minimal effort to updrage mainly the wait when dealing with Alan at ERT was only tiff . Would only buy the display from him if i build another

Save your sanity. Save for a better DH fork. The new Marzocchi Bomber 58 is really good, for $999. Used DH forks are getting harder to find, but they are still out there for half, a round $500. They'll still be many times better than the disposable RST Killah. The damper was never meant to be serviced. The Killah is $500 new. Nuff said.

@ow-my-achilles1106 3 года назад

The Sur Ron really started the mass produced electric dirt bike segment. Plus all the modding for capability and power that is being served by the aftermarket. When an obvious direct competitor comes out, it gets compared. Does anyone have any other mass produced commercially available dirt bikes to compare these two against? The KTM Freeride is also expensive, but a different segment because of it's power and build, and the price reflects that. Quite frankly, the market for a 1 hour race electric bike that costs almost $9000 doesn't sound like a broad market. The success of the Sur Ron has been it's low entry cost. Guys gripe about the suspension and MTB bits (yes, I do too, I own one) but these can be addressed along the way to upgrading. A fully trail modded Sur Ron would go for about $8000+ all in. Battery, controller, suspension, controls, drive upgrades including sprocket, primary chain drive, wheels and tires. Which one can guys afford as an entry point?

@ElectricCycleRider 3 года назад

@Neal Peters Thanks for the question. They are 2 very different bikes. The EM Escape is more of a trials bike with street legal options. It's very good in slow, technical terrain. The motor feels like it builds power a bit more linear and especially if your friend has the clutch (R) model, it is great for hard enduro and trials riding. The Drill One is more at home going a bit faster and would be better suited for single track and flow trail type riding.

@LarryRichelli 3 года назад

I bought a 2021 Sur Ron and just sold it because to get it up to what I would want was going to be another 4K to 5K and I was not willing to do that. If I am going to go that high for a bike it would be the Zero. I know it a couple thousand more but it's it that 10K range. I would also take the $5K upgraded Sur Ron over this bike because it would last longer on a charge and go farther on a charge.

@actionsportster7686 2 года назад

I sold my Sur Ron for pretty much the same reasons. One other thing about modding the Sur Ron is that not only would the bike be heavier, but it still would not hold up to hard riding. I've yet to see a electric dirt bike (other than the Alta Redshift) that is built to take the punishment of dirt bike riding. That includes the Zero and the KTM. These electric bikes are built with mountain bike components, which won't last long if subjected to big jumps, hard acceleration and braking, etc. If you're looking for something with the durability of a good dirt bike, you're going to increase the weight substantially when you start adding more robust parts ... and then you're looking at an expensive electric dirt bike. I think most people in this segment want something much lighter, but they don't understand the performance/durability trade off. If you're not going to hit big jumps, if you don't need quick and aggressive throttle response, if you're not going to take the bike off road much, then the Sur Ron is okay for that sort of thing. But beyond that, it not a bike that will hold up if subjected to more aggressive riding.

@justinb7039 3 года назад
