Talaria Sting R vs OUTER BANKS // Real World Range Test // Street, Trails, Wheelies & More! 

I weigh about 185 right now. Also running a non o-ring chain with less resistance, and a headlight switch with headlight off. Probly doesn’t affect range much but just want to be as transparent as I can. Also did videos on those things as well!

@@freerfixedit thank you! i wonder why my sting r will arrive in a few days :) since i weigh 135 lbs i was wondering if i will have any difference! maybe I'll do a test! thanks for the videos mate

@@freerfixedit Yay!!!! East Coast!!!!!

Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it!!!

Thanks a lot for the words! Really appreciate it! And I totally agree… don’t ride like a total moron and don’t give them a reason to stop you, and they won’t. I bumped into a cop in target yesterday and asked him the e bike laws here. He told me to go with the flow of traffic, wear a helmet, follow the laws of the road, and to stay off the multi path on bay drive. Pretty simple if you ask me 🤷🏻‍♂️ thanks again for watching and I hope you enjoy your new bike 🤙🏽

I’ve got it at 15… you think I should go lower? Scared to with this stock tire. Also… this is 20psi less than the manual recommends. Probably hurt the range slightly…🤷🏻‍♂️

@Freer Fixed iT no that's low enough. I assumed you were running it at stock psi.

@@freerfixedit Yeah id think 15psi is fine. I wouldnt want to go much lower and run the risk of spinning/ ripping the tube. One thing to note if you feel like wheelies always pulling a little to the right. Roads are slanted for water drainage so it will natrually lean to the right if youre balanced in the middle. I think you got it, just a little more pratice and youll have full control. Love the contect. Keep it up 🤘

@@YouMad_ImBad yeah so far so good with 15psi. Wheelies have gotten a lot easier. Just took practice. Appreciate the feedback 🤝

Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback! And thanks for sharing, same with me, its really a fun way to explore and find new places... Best of luck getting a bike, hope you enjoy it and stay safe out there!

There’s definitely an indescribable fun factor about these bikes. Thanks for the feedback! Appreciate it! 🤝

No bs man… really helps get the endorphins flowin!

You’re the second one to notice that 😂 it’s definitely the same guy!

Thats so awesome to hear! and thanks for the kind words! I hope you enjoy it! they are a ton of fun!

Thanks so much! Appreciate you!

Love to hear it! Thanks so much for saying so, really appreciate it! Hope you’re enjoying the bike!!!

@@freerfixedit Yo man. I dropped it at a stop light on the 2nd day. Handlebar is slightly bent. Do they sell the handlebars separately? The bike is really powerful. Coming from an ONYX and AR Grizzly, it is a little scary.

@@WeRideN404 bro I get it. I have a 22 works edition crf 450 and I almost looped this bike the first time I tried to wheelie it! If you check the description of the video there’s a link for a set of 3” riser bars on Amazon. I haven’t tried them yet so I can’t speak for them, but they have the popular 3” rise and are still fairly wide compared to others. I’m looking into a riser bar or stem soon so let me know what you end up getting and how you like it

@@WeRideN404 also, these bikes, the way the stem mounts to the fork, often gets twisted when you drop the bike. Could be as easy as straightening the stem, unless the actual handlebar themselves are really bent. Then you’ll need to bend back or replace

Love to hear it! And thanks. I love to have my fun, but I also realize that over doing it and being a jackass will ruin it for everyone sooner or later. Myself included. I hope you enjoy it and be safe! 🤙🏽

@@freerfixedit if you ever come to San Diego let me know I’ll show you some good spots.

😁

Thank you!! Since this I’ve dropped down to level 3. Been figuring out how much brake pressure to apply without slapping it down. Going to gradually back off regen all together. It’s just crazy how fast you gotta be with that back brake finger with how much torque this thing has.

@@freerfixedit yes it is very torqy, i put a 54t sprocket on mine and after a while of just popping the front over and over again, you will just gain the control to stay in a deeper balance point. it took me like 2 weeks before i just started to feel all the control over my bike in a wheelie. but you are well beyond on your way to perfect balance point

@@ismevictor7289 glad to hear it. Like I’ve said, I like my moto bikes choppered out and this bike is def stink bug front end heavy. Rode it in some sand today and almost died 😂 but since it sits the way it does, the balance point is way further back than I’m used to/comfortable with. Just a learning curve, but I appreciate the tips! Want to be doin knee knockers and seat stands soon 😅

@@freerfixedit you will be doing them in no time , keep it up love the sting r vids

@@early2exit that’s awesome! Keep going!

Thank you! Appreciate your feedback! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Gotta check your local laws. It’s been a blast so far!

Thanks! Yeah I think trail riding is much easier on the battery life than full throttle or constant speed travel on the roads

😂 I had a close call a couple weeks ago trying to turn around on a small pier. Almost dropped it in the marsh 🤦🏻‍♂️

That’s awesome! Yeah def looking for people to ride with. The more the merrier!

Thanks! Still trying to figure it all out but I appreciate it!!! 🤙🏽

Thank you! Nothing structural to be concerned with. It doesn’t do so well in sand with the stock tires and stinkbug geometry. It just makes the front end a little twitchy cause the rear sits higher than the front. Still doable tho! 🤙🏽

Thanks man! Seems like getting it further back to the actual balance point helps a lot. Also going atleast 15mph stabilizes things a lot. But I will say, on this bike, wind plays a big factor. If it’s too windy it doesn’t matter what I do, I lean one way or another. Good luck and stay safe!

I’m trying to find a pair that fit myself. I got a surron set and they drop below level. The red pegs I have now are crf 450 pegs that I had to modify to fit. They’re 27$ if you want the link I’ll send it when I get home. But I’m still searching for a peg that fits as a direct bolt on. No luck yet.

And thanks for watching! Appreciate you!

None really. These are lipo batteries so the bike feels pretty much the same until you get below 10% or so. Then it goes into a limp mode to get you home. Feels like eco mode. But I can still pop wheelies and hit full speed at like 20%

I haven’t ridden one myself, but the people that own them that get on the mx4 instantly regret getting the onyx over the sting. I can’t believe the onyx is more money too 🤯

@@freerfixedit thanks for the feedback. I’ve been leaning towards the Talaria for the better torque. Going 50 mph isn’t the goal but being able to pull out from a dog fast is my idea of more fun.

@@chamilton83 the talaria blows the onyx out of the water in every category. Also has a mid drive motor which is far more desirable than a hub motor on the back wheel. Acceleration is great and if you wanted even more you could go to a larger rear sprocket and get even more!

Outer banks of North Carolina!

How do you like the supermoto kit? I want to get wheels eventually and am torn between a 16/19 dirt set or a 17” supermoto set

@@freerfixedit I absolutely love SuperMoto Kit from GritShift. First off I have a 30" inseam so 19" rims are too tall for my riding pleasure and personal preference. Now I have kinda the opposite of you. On the road I don't have to worry about knobby tires trying to skip around in a tight turn. On the dirt I don't have enough traction to wheelie it like you have so in grass instead of gripping and tossing grass rooster tail and my front end coming up to the balance point I spin and get fishy tailed... I grew up on knobby tires and dirt. But for Street Riding it hugs the road. So much fun..... I have not seen an automobile that can keep up with me from 0-30mph...

@@freerfixedit I have emailed you FYI and subscribed to your channel too...

Like hours? Or miles? I’ve had it for about 3 weeks now

@@freerfixedit I meant like how many hours did you ride it in this video

@@Its_Lux I’m not sure, but I know it was over an hour!

Been solid! Nothing but smiles. I’m going to do a 1 month review this week!

It comes with a horn! Pretty loud too!

I think a realistic real world range is about 40 miles for me. They’ve also been talking about adding 3x more regen to future models which will help with range tremendously! I’d say you would make it there, be able to charge, and get home. 30 miles seem to be the low average

Awesome! I was saving for the Surron x ,but then the talaria sting r had came out, and now I’m $61 dollars away from ordering it from Luna cycle! Love the content! keep grinding bro

@@bakin9896 Thanks so much! hope you get it soon! enjoy!

Yeah try not to smile too hard 😁 jk… you mean mods or where to ride it or what?

@@freerfixedit mainly mods like under a few hundred dollars that don't change the bike too much but make it better

@@Sean-Marshall I did a video on free mods/setup things you can do to the bike if you want to check that out. First thing I did was pegs, headlight, I haven’t done tires yet but I’d put some Dunlop mx33s on for dirt. Most everything I’ve done to my bike is listed in the description of my videos. Links all right there 🤙🏽

@@freerfixedit I'll definitely check it out thanks!

I think it hangs with a 110 pit bike no problem. It has a lot more torque than a lot of gas bikes, but falls short on top speed. Hope that helps

​@Freer Fixed iT I appreciate man. I'm still on the fence about picking one up

@@shaveddave what’s got you on the fence? I have zero regret let’s just say that…

I'm worried I'll expect too much out it. Hearing you talk about the torque definitely makes me feel better about it though

@@shaveddave if you sit on it and give it full throttle, it will do a backflip in place and put you on your ass. Only reason I suggest ultra bees or larger bikes is for heavier/larger framed people
