    I bought ego mini bike about a month ago I’m nearing 400 miles and use four 12.0 batteries the third in the cargo and the fourth in a camel pack. I’m 240 dry and I don’t live in a flat area, hills everywhere most are decent and give the bike one hell of a work out. Keeping this in mind With my weight and only two 12 amp hour batteries the bike can only get to 26 mph and with the steepest longest hill I ride about 1/4 mile the bike manages 24 if I start out at the bottom it takes a minute to get to that speed. If I ride on a route with least hills as possible carrying all four twelve’s I can squeeze 39 miles on a single ride. If I navigate my routes on the most hills possible I can squeeze about 22 miles on four twelves. If I carry one twelve and two 7.5’s in a camel pack that brings my total weight to 278 lbs adding this to the weight of the bike itself with three twelves I’m sure the total weight is passing 500lbs I’m very impressed with what this mini bike can do!

    I know it's not going to happen, but if these were $999, I'd own one in a heartbeat. $1999 is just a bit too much for me.

      Don't look at the price of replacement batteries then. 😉 I know the big batteries for that thing are around $350... each. You need two.

    Love mine so far. 50 miles on it. Impressed with the build quality. The range is the only thing that seems to be inflated. I'm only getting 20 miles or so with 2 12 AH batteries.

      Once they release the new technology in batteries it's going to change everything! Smaller very inexpensive fast charging and long rides for going long distances won't be a problem.

    Thanks for the test. I just got the Greenworks 60V minibike with the 8.0ah battery's and so far about 7 miles was as far as i could go on a single pack at a time but i am about 216 pounds so almost at the max weight. that was mostly gravel and dirt terrain for me, I am sure smooth level surface would do better. Someone also told me to try using both battery's together even if I am just in eco mode.

    I bet swapping the brake fluid reservoirs out with some motul rbf600 and maybe the front forks with better maybe heavier maxima fork oil would make a big difference.

    Can you lock the battery compartment in case you have to park the bike for a few minutes?
    I’m assuming so if the backup storage battery compartment can be locked (or appears to be lockable from the video) at 4:36.

    How far we've regressed that our standard for a motorcycle is that it be able to go 20 miles... :(
    Even mopeds from the 1980s could go 30mph and go about 120-150 miles per tank.
