The rate of innovation on these bikes is outrageous. I can’t even imagine what things are going to look like 5 years from now, all these manufacturers are only just getting started. Fun times ahead my friends!
@@davidhughes5369 I remember just less than 10 years ago you could get a great starter bike from several manufacturers for around 3-4k I know because I bought a few for my sons who are grown now and the still ride them for recreation. still wondering why and entry level motorcycle costs 10k or more now just like cars now shot up by gov regulation (got to make their constituents there money so they can keep getting the "donations") In Nov 2000 I remember buying my first new 2500hd Chevrolet Silverado extended cab LT for jus over 30k including taxes very nice truck still have it with around 420k on the odometer not a pretty truck anymore though
Not to burst your bubble, but we've already been here for a while now. The ned result of all these toy bikes will come down to EV super moto solutions that have already been around for years, such as the lightning LS218 or if we really want to go back, the Harley-Davidson Duo-Glid which was developed back in 1965. The difference today is the blurred line between what is an eBike vs an EV motorcycle. Thus the accelerated legislation across all 50 States to define Class 1, Class 2, and Class 3 electric bikes.
@@rakhit the difference today is these bikes cost 1-2k not 40k for a Harley. what are you smoking. Nobody in real life gives a shit about what the government says their ebike is classified as lol. Why do you think we are getting 50mph bikes, anarchy rules. If people gave a shit about government classifications we could only go 15mph.
New to the Ebike community and I happened to come across your channels juiced as well and you are definitely a great reviewer and i really enjoy watching and cant wait for new videos every time i get a notification. Appreciate the time and energy you take. Im also jealous you can enjoy them year round , coming from a Canadian 😂
I really like when you hand it off to the other bikers for their thoughts on it, there's a lot of insight from the perspective of someone who can compare it to their daily driver like that
I purchased this in Gun Metal Grey with Pedals to be shipped at the end of this month. I purchased it through this channel. Thank you Matt. If not for you making this video, I would never have purchased this as well as received an extra discount. Thank you again.
Thanks for showing us the true potential of this incredibly fun e-bike. Looks like there are some interesting accessory options for this bike. Keep up the good work.
A few years back, I bought my first E-bike. Don't get me wrong, my Magicycle Cruiser was/is decent first bike, but this might help me with my mid-life crisis a bit more.
Watch out for inattentive drivers. I just had a driver coming the opposite way make a quick left turn across a lane of traffic and the bike lane, causing me to smack into them. Sucks getting old - shit snaps instead of bending and heals slower. 8 weeks off work. Good thing I have awesome temp disability.
@@Zomby_Woof unfortunately most people wont learn until their first time, the amount of riders I see on youtube that drive as if cars arent on the road is disturbing, when you look at peoples riding there is a lot of time, a thing could possibly go wrong and they could crash but they count on it not happening. ive fallen hundreds of times on a dirt bike. Only once extremely bad and was in hospital for 1.5 months but over 200,000km on road and never fallen.
These goat bikes are the real deal. I've had my motor goat v3 for 2 months now. Never really did a top speed test(with full battery) until yesterday... Boy oh boy, let me tell u. With 90% battery, I'm 148 lbs, flat ground, no wind, body tucked low, near optimal conditions etc, I got this sucker to exactly 48 mph on gps app, just like Tailhappy. With all the way 100% battery if I ever test again, I wouldn't be surprised one bit if I can reach 50 mph!!... Nutz! Absolutely nutz!!
@@youtubemademecreateanewcha6965 Just going by feel, I think full power drops off when u hit 80%. So 100 to 80% battery you'll be in top speed. Then it will drop again from 50% battery on down. But even with below 50%, I am still seeing speeds of 39-42 mph full throttle.
@@youtubemademecreateanewcha6965 Having it full throttle will drain battery faster for sure. Mine is the dual battery setup with total 45 Ah. 100 to 80% battery will take about 50 min to 1 hour with constant full throttle. I'm guessing single battery will be half that, so 30 min seems right for single battery.
I was one of the people commenting in a couple of videos for the original Billy Goat that mentioned they needed a way to add another battery. Nice! This would probably be my #1 pick for a new E bike.
great review again and GPB bikes are killin' it! Wish my Billy Goat V2 could bolt on this second battery. V2 can peak 47 MPH all stock, so can't complain except for the range.
HEY!!! That’s not a 250w motor “mate”! I’m calling Scotland Yard on you! Soon as I get the number. What is the emergency number for you guys over there?
@jimee5945 still waiting on battery..any day now,can't wait. I am going to do a review on you tube with the bike.great company to deal with. Staff are great and let you know every step of of the shipping, I'll let you know when I've had a ride.good luck
One day I was just browsing their website and when I saw the name change to the V3 I swear I thought they messed up cuz nowhere did they advertise the change. Looks like I found my next bike
60v is operational and 72v is charging, batteries work above operational voltage and die at operational voltage, so a 60v battered is charged to about 66 volts with a 72volt charger. So your power is that 6 volts plus the amps of the battery.;-)
I got my Aventon Aventure less than 3 years ago and it's already considered obsolete. It's still a fun bike to ride and gets me around town, but I yearn for a speedy bike and more battery range. My Aventon Aventure has 25 miles of range at best and a top speed of 30 MPH. My first impressions from this video is that the Billy Goat V3 is a speedy bike and I like that it can easily reach up to 50 MPH. The website says that this bike can get up 60 miles of range on a charge and I like that. When I ride my Aventure, I always have to worry about if I'm going to have enough power left to go everywhere I want to go. It's nice that more modern ebikes like the Billy Goat V3 have more range. Going around town, I wouldn't have to worry about having enough of a charge to get around to where I want to go and make it home without running out of power. If I had one of these bikes, I'd be riding it more than driving my car around town. That would save me gas as well as wear and tear on my car. Lastly, I like that it can carry up to 450 pounds. Being that I am 300 pounds, this bike will carry me with no problems. I'll definitely be looking into a bike like this one.
Crossing the line between ebike and emotorcycle is Way Cool... Relieved to see beefy brakes on this beast. Finally an ebike that is suitable for inner city road traffic. Oklahoma would require the emoped registration at a minimum.
I have just ordered this bike based on your review. I also used your discount code! I would love to see more action on this bike. Keep up the good work!
If you actually want to pedal, ride on bike trails or go off road, the Wired is a much better choice. If you want a light electric motorcycle, get the goat, the pedals are optional.
@@B7litz The X2 has rear hub motor and the Surrun, Tal, have mid motors. The X2 has class lll bike labeled on the side of the bike. It's obviously not. My guess is the X2 is not as quick as the Sur/Tal. Top speed probably the same.
Super 73 is just an overly expensive canvas to build a bike with. When they first came out there weren’t many other bikes like theirs. Now practically everyone else has surpassed them in just about every category but they still have brand loyalty for some odd reason.
@@VEGITAS4Purchase one of the goat bikes and you will see why super 73 still has plenty of market share. I own a goat bike (motor goat) and have owned a super 73. The goat is absolutely faster for the money. But the problem with goat bikes is the customer service and failure to deliver what they charge for. Order a super 73 and you will get your bike and decent customer support. Pay for a goat bike and after waiting 3 months you will get a very fast bike that has flaws and little to no customer support. They have 1 person trying to handle everything. I ride my goat bike daily to work. I enjoy it and do not regret the purchase. But their customer support and failure to deliver a working product out of the box is why they are still zero threat to super 73.
you all talking bs here, im ebike user for more than 10 years, and I have already more than 30 bikes, from those cheap chinese ones from his videos, throught eMTB to Emopeds. And if you compare product quality , design and durability than you will understand why s73 has his fans and is selling so well. All my Chinese bikes dies and only repair option was buying new battery or new bike, they catch rust after one rainy day and breaks you have change after few good breaking. S73 is build like tank and for most people powerful enough to enjoy ride. S73 is like your best car that you want upgrade and never sell and has supe community. You all hate it coz you are cheap crying kids. Only bike which goes on same level is Coast Cycles stuff, rest is just cheap ugly copy.
@@damnbrosky lol fam I have the motor goat. You admittedly buy cheap bikes but also shill for a bike $1200+ more than mine with significantly worse specs and fewer ad ons. Hella goofy 🤡🤡🤡
I think it's only a matter of time before cell phone holders are standard equipment on all electric bikes. Or... Just wishful thinking on my part. Great upload as usual. Stay awesome! 😊
You're by far my favorite Ebike channel . I own the original Jansno X50 you also reviewed. I put a fully adjustable I think DNM Rear shock many upgrades. But I've always wanted the Goat. I hope some day to get it. If I figure out a way, I have your link saved to purches with.
Absolutely loved this review and love this bike!! How does it compare to the E-Cells Dual Star? That’s the other bike I’m considering. Look forward to watching more reviews!
Looks neat. I have an Ariel Rider Grizzly GEN 3 that I rarely ride but I love it. Unlocked, I get 40MPH which was nice in Tucson since most surface streets there was 40MPH.
I think the nominal voltage if you added a whole other cell set in parallel would be around 64.2v nominal. I have the exact same taillight/turn signal assembly on the back of my Jansno X50, when it's super sunny out or the sun is behind you low in the sky and shining directly on the taillight, it's a little hard for cars to see behind you that you're turning. Do a hand signal just in case. Just a safety tip. I'm going to try and figure out a way to put the front style turn signals on the rear as well with some L brackets mounted to the license plate holder.
Ive been searching ebikes for ages, for the last few years i have been sharing a KTM electric mountain bike that my wife has taken a liking to. Soon as i seen this one with the extra battery i knew this was the one. I dont like e-bikes that look like motor bikes. This one has the right look!
as a new 48V ebike owner, i think this is already way too fast to live a compfy safe life. Especially in such nice full city over there. btw I love to see what is going on over there. so skol, drive safe m8
@@nickstout6571 I ordered in March and it got to the house in June, but I knew it was a new bike and had great speed so that’s why I pulled the trigger. I love it and I feel 12 years old again. But I am 64. Lol
He's doing revues, how will we know anything if he doesn't show us. I'm not watching this to learn how to behave. Anything he can show me about this bike is the reason I am watching and frankly I'm more concerned for his safe well being showing us some of the things like scary fast speeds. I would rather he go a little slower, safer, than convince myself how terrible it is of him to burn the tire. Would you rather have revues that are limited to behavior that only you approve of. Well I wouldn't, he is doing a very good thing for our benefit and I appreciate his work greatly. I'm not looking to spot negativity, I see the positivity easily maybe you could try it
Im seriously thinking about buying one of these. I grew up in Los Angeles / Long Beach area but live in Georgia now. This bike would be great for the trails all around the Great Smokies! Not to mention the Rod Run every year in Pigeon Forge, TN. BTW... if you're looking for steep hills, Im talking HOLY F**K thats steep check out San Pedro. That was the main area I grew up in out there. 25th St is insane! I had a friend in high school that lost brakes in his '64 Nova Wagon going down that hill. He hit the house at the bottom. Thankfully no one was home.
The 99 dollar 350 pound shock from Goat Power Bikes makes the rear suspension more plush. The stock 450 pound spring is too stiff, except for 300+ pound riders.
Agreed, as a 300+ rider I find the stock 450lb shock to be perfect, but my less gravity challenged friends all remarked on how stiff the rear shock is.
Ordered mine! Billy Goat V3 kinda worried about the range i'll be able to accomplish on the single battery however there's no way ill be full throttle at all times
Would you rather the Billy or the motor ? I’m on the bigger side looking for something to travel back and forth to work I love about 8-10 miles away from my job
Time for the grown up question 😢. Parts, especially the brakes. And maybe batteries. Should I just buy for the future now, or will these parts be available for a long time? So much improvement can leave us obsolete if not careful.
Great Bike. Good Review. Your Actually happy! JoYful even @18:00. As answer to your question at 18:24, ... , The Hill of Course. The Goat v3 is Rival to my hoped purchase of Walkie H7 dual dual. Your Adult moment @21:00. peace I would Buy Ride as EL Bike, 2nd Battery and charger, suit up and Insure as an Electric Cycle, at 25 -35 mph (tow haul and much more a sleeper in "Stealth-Grey Pedals") senior at 70.
Yoo you should totally look into gas motorized bicycles. They are literally a tenth of the price of a standard e bike to build it yourself. Really though it would be awesome if you can do one
I literally watch this RU-vid channel because I can’t currently afford e-bikes so I vicariously life threw him and he reminds me so much of Rob Schneider😂😂😂😂
this bike v3 an the annioki max 45mph version are both extremely fast, i personally went for the latter its like 2900 sumer-sale price an sold out at warehouse an shipment fills the warehouse on the 25th annioki wise. while this v3 is closer to 3 grand price with the paralleling of the 2nd battery on sale pricing.
Damn I just got my motor goat v3. Which I absolutely love. The only reason I didn’t get the billy goat is because of the battery. Also the motor goat seems better for mods. This may have been my pick tho
I've been looking at as many e-bikes as possible the last few months. I narrowed my choices to the motor goat v3 or the E cells 5 Star. Now this had to come along and complicate things. There's just too many choices in e-bikes right now
@@5lim.0 I really wish there was a place I could go to just test ride a few of these. I'm 6'4", so beyond the comfort range for many brands. If you are a taller rider I would appreciate your feedback on the motor goat. I like to pedal
@@5lim.0 i have the motor goat and this does not complicate things at all. The motor goat is way better if youre thinking of doing mods/upgrades. They literally have similar specs. The motor goat will soon have a full frame extra 50ah battery on top of the 25ah battery it comes with. I'm shorter than the 5'7 rider on the video but I can get on and off the motor goat just fine at 5'5. Imo, the motor goat is still the better buy due do the upgradeability and modding you can do on your own.
I am thinking of buying one.. also you're JuicedJoyrides :) Does the manual include instructions on replacing the tires/tubes? Also, would you normally take it for repair at a bike or motorcycle shop? Thanks for another great video and nice to discover this other channel
Matt's the top ebike reviewer ... so he gets them all as feeebies. The manufacturers gift them all to him, for the chance to be reviewed on his channel
"This thing is friggin long, dude." (that's what she said) The 'Billy Goat' really is a beast. I thought I had decided on an E-Cells 'Super Monarch 1500-Watt Dual Motor,' but it's $4,795 before any discount. I like everything about it - Dual Crown fork and great suspension, 9 levels of PAS, 10-speeds, double wall aluminum rims, dual 750-watt motors, and everything else about as good as it gets, but it's $4,795!! I'm an old guy. My first car when I was 16 (in 1976) was a 1969 Pontiac GTO convertible. I paid $350 for it. 😆 That car, in the shape it was in, would probably be worth $50k today. I also had a 1969 Chevy Camaro SS that I paid $3,500 for in about 1986, and I saw one almost identical to it sell for $80k!! It was completely restored, though. Now I have to pay thousands for a bike that runs on batteries. Something just ain't right. *LOL* Great videos. 👍
I'm 6'3", 300+. Would you pick this over the other Goat bikes? Over the Revv1 or the Ghostcat if you were my size? What is my best option for power and comfort with some pedaling? Looking for my first one of these. Love your stuff!! Appreciate ya!
