As a bicyclist who got old I bought a Trek E-bike so I could keep up with my son. You still work your butt off riding it, you just go farther/faster. Also, as a lifetime motorcyclist, I have a GS with all the “gee-whiz” electronics in hopes of it catching a rider error & keeping me upright. If I were a purist, I would have neither😊
One thing that Adam mentioned that everyone should pay attention to - is that he and his friend were up on a trail most likely on a weekday, and had it to themselves. This is what makes E biking pure bliss.
From these comments, I have to say that your motorcycles and your masculinity being threatened is in your imagination, my motorcycles coexist just fine with my ebikes. If you don’t want one don’t buy one. Just not a big deal. Ebikes are very cool and so are motorcycles. Also, it’s not that E bikes are super expensive it’s that some motorcycles are very inexpensive. for the price of an Indian or Harley high-end bike, or a GW, you can buy this E bike, a dirtbike, a smaller displacement motorcycle and a truck to haul it all.
I love my ebikes. Got me back into cycling. I must have over 32k miles on pedal bikes. My eMTB is a simpler Fuji 27.5" wheeled hardtail and my wife and I share riding on a fat tire ebike. While I like the expensive premium ebikes better, my riding has toned down enough that I don't need a hardcore ride. The expensive bikes have a very refined ride that float nicely and feel like a normal bike and makes you feel like you have just extra powerful legs.
Ive ridden this trail on regular bike. Hard to see from video but there is no way in hell you could do a review, talking almost normally, going as fast as your going without a motor! Thanks for review
So much more fun than sitting on your ass and twisting a throttle. No deafening braaaaap and trail destroying dirt roosts, registration, insurance or stinky fuel just quiet, single track slaying fun, and you can even talk to your buddies over the peaceful whir of the electric motor. When you drop it, just pick it up with one hand and go again. You're not gonna get pinned under it because it ain't 200kgs.. 😅 Seriously, I've owned moto and got bored pretty quickly of the restrictions on where you can ride. Pretty much just dirt or sand roads here in South Australia.. But with the eMTB, I can ride anywhere, any road, any track... And I'm getting a decent workout while taking in peaceful scenery and mother nature. Do yourself a favour. 😉👍
I’m glad you guys are reviewing e bikes because although I am a huge fan of motorcycles, it’s difficult for me to own one because I live in apartments and although I could pay for additional parking, I like “efficiency aspect” of motorcycles, so I have been looking at e bikes a lot more because I can put them inside.
Check out e-dirt bikes like the Surron and Talaria. My Surron is about 123 lbs with the battery, and I just wheel it into my 1-bedroom apartment. I have a Honda Grom that I park in the carport, but the Surron is honestly more fun a capable that I hardly ride the Grom anymore.

At their current prices, absolutely. Just to convert a regular bicycle with quality parts is $1000 or more, easily. Unless you're limited to a bicycle as primary transportation, it just doesn't make sense for what is essentially a toy.
@@jasonjulian1 For many, many people, motorcycles are just toys as well. Sure, are there those who commute and use them for transportation, but a large percentage of motorcycles are used primarily for recreation.
@@jasper_of_puppets that's true... But I see more value in a proper motorcycle than an e-bike. Nonetheless, they still have the same limitations as all electric vehicles, limited range and extended recharge times. The downsides of current battery technology.
@@jasonjulian1 I think this was a clickbaity title, as an eMTB and motorcycle are two entirely different categories of bike and use. But yeah, it all boils down to what each individual values. I told myself I'd never spend more on a (e)bicycle than a motorcycle, but I mountain bike a lot more often than I motorcycle these days. Honestly, the e-bike was one of the best purchases I've ever made.
The more they push these electric things the harder I resist them. So this is a motorbike with pedals? I guess this is the future for motorbikes, once they go all electric you will need pedals on them for when the battery runs out after an hour or so.....
With the kind of you will own nothing and you will be happy agenda, it looks like I will have to rely on bike considering the tax and insurance rip off. But definitely some thing in $1k price range and not $6k.
I have to applaud that ebikes are appearing on motorcycle media, where they should have been from the start.
Oh brother. Motorcycles have throttles, bicycles have cranks and pedals. Get over you e-bike bigotry…
Lol, what a tard

You can pick one of these up right now for 2560 with an extra battery. Having a hard time trying to talk myself out of it.
Same here. Maybe we should have a WebEx meeting where we talk each other out of it....
Same, just ordered one as a spare bike for buddies to ride with me or as my side fun bike
Shoot I missed the meeting. My blue/black one is on order to replace my trusty old hard tail.
@@andrewwilliams6963 Yeah I missed it too, bought last week.
I talked myself into it…😅
Its like a motorcycle!
*Breathing mad hard*
Great review, love the Moro 07 & good to see it get put through its paces by a competent fast rider 👌

Great review!
I wouldn't be able to stop myself from making 2 stroke noises
I'm hearing that 2 stroke noise 💪👍
That display looks out of place--as if it was a last minute decision to put it there. It should be integrated or attached to the top tube instead.

The one of the best things about mountain biking is that i have to care less about the laws.
Exactly

I’m an old mountain biker who’s owned many Yamaha motorcycles and am a huge fan but is this twice as good as other e-bikes for half the price?
Love this machine, not ready to make the jump . Dude has cool hair.
Where were you riding ? Looks like SoCal somewhere.
San Juan trail off highway 73 in south Orange county
6400 ?
2,599.00 with an extra battery free as of September 2024
Would it fit a 6 foot 6 inch, 230 lbs. rider?
What ski area is that in the background?
Is this the bike trail in Grand Theft Auto?
Two mates bought these I’m ordering one for summer
$2599 with a free 2nd battery and a 5yr warranty on the MORO 7 Special Edition until November 4th 2024
Intense resistance and long history. brilliant ......
Only 50 pounds? That is one light E bike. and that is one quiet engine. It would be nice if the brakes were more quiet.
I just find it weird for a bicycle review in motorcyclist channel.
Is it tho? But is it really?
Isn't it tho? I mean, really, isn't it?
@@jasper_of_puppets your a bad man
$6K on an electric bicycle? Nah
Agreed mate, most of them stupidly overpriced
6k is pretty cheap. My Trek Rail 7 was 5k on sale.
@@MikaHakkinen83 not all are fat pay check taking govt or tech employees. Most have to provide actual service to make the same fiat currency after being taxed and fined.
Are there no trees in SoCal?
Do any of these e-bikes regen?
Most do not, as the current way these pedal-assist mountain bike drivetrains work do not allow for it.
Regen would come from the brakes, possibly magnetic braking like the drop coasters.
how do you choose frame size?
Check the website.
Yamaha should’ve produced something to compete with the Sur-Ron. I’m not interested enough in this thing with pedals to even watch the video.
Shit. I don’t want to buy this bike but that $2700 price is like a gun point to my head.
YOU GUYS WITH THESE NICE HIGH END MOUNTAIN BIKES COME ON NONE OF YOU SEEM TO PUT ON A DECENT BELL MAN!!
Who the heck is buying this?
When you go ride the Mtb trails half the people are on 7k plus e-bikes, so loads, personally I think the price is way too high.
Put a real motor on it
Nah man, I'll just get a CRF250 for less...
Or the moro 05 and a CR 125 for a little more
You can go father ?? My father eh my dad , parent wasn’t there do you mean further
For the price, I will stick with my Trek Marlin

If I wanted pedals I would look up bi-CYCLES. What have y'all done. This is ridiculous.
Ebikes are almost as expensive as motorcycles. Ebikes are kind of a joke, in my opinion
At their current prices, absolutely.

Why are contents here getting longer and no better? Sorry, too long, don't watch
You're just wasting my time 🤗
You should blame yourself
You got it for free ?
I have this bike. There is no "automatic power setting," no idea what this guy is smoking.
Auto assist level, probably
@jedeckert8912 Maybe you should read the manual or double check your model number.
