I Tried 4 "Fast" Electric Motorcycles

- I rode the Rumble Air SS, Rawrr Mantis, Caofen F80, and Cake Kalk electric motorcycles. Here's my thoughts on these highly popular Ebikes.
If you're in the market for a high power electric bike, you've probably heard of at least one of these brands. Each of these electric motorcycles, or ebikes, electric dirtibikes, or whatever you wanna call them have been getting a lot of hype online... but are they worth it?
The Sur Ron has long been the king of lightweight and affordable ebikes, but the Talaria Sting MX4 has recently stole the spotlight, but there are many more options for electric motorcycles available. Hopefully I'll be able to ride them all in my lifetime and share my experience here. Enjoy!
I like how you have the gopro mounted on your chest. It gives the viewer the sense there riding the ebike your on.
thanks for all your efforts. great vid. thumbs up!....peace out
Great job on the video! Thanks for making it.
🙏 ⚡️🤙
I just got the Rawrr Mantis 72 volts and it’s amazing!!!!!!!
The reason for the back brake being a foot brake on the Cake is because it’s a typical moto style and cake makes real “dirt bike” style bikes where you would 100% want a foot brake
True, I like the foot brake, would be cool if they had a lever on the left hand that also operated the rear brake or worked as a clutch of some sort. Riding so much electric I’ve gotten really used to that setup since most electrics use that format
@@JuicedJoyrides yea most modern quads have that nowadays
Why is a foot brake more desirable for a dirt bike? Just wondering.
I don't see how and rear level isn't better than a foot brake. I mean especially if you don't have a clutch. No point in a foot brake imo
@@brentcollins9727 It only make sense if you have to control a clutch, but for any vehicle with no clutche, it does not make sense a disadvantage having a foot brake.
I think I was in that test track oval with you on the onyx rcr. I remembered that slow lady in the trike with turn signal on.
Nice! Haha yes, not sure why that was on the high speed track
I've got the street legal version of the caofen f80 featured in this video over here in the uk. Mine has a 72v 48ah battery plus the reason i got it is because of the heating and cooling element in the battery. Basically it doesnt experience the range drop typically associated with ev's to anywhere near the same degree and you can charge it below freezing temperatures which is how cold it can get here. Amazing bike and goes 56mph.
Very cool... thanks for sharing....
🙏
How does the solar eclipse stack up to all the bikes you have ridden? Pretty dead set on the eclipse right now. The 72v all carbon fiber and good size battery's. I heard you mention u might upgrade controller for more power any update on that? Keep up the good work.
It’s been a pretty good for a light weight/good range commuter for street riding, although it does seem to turn off once per ride unexpectedly. Hope they get that sorted out. I should get more details on a controller upgrade next week. Power-wise, two of the bikes in this video are def stronger than eclipse but also weigh more. Ultimately I think the eclipse would be best with belt drive and street tires and kept on the pavement mostly due to the swing arm mounted motor with low clearance. 🙏 thanks!
@Juiced Joyrides Nice. Yeah I do all street riding. Currently have a 72v bronco xtreme 11. Stupid quick. Fast off the line. If it's as powerful I'll be happy.
Nice.
What was the squeeky noise from the cake? (Comment from Sweden as the Cake) (Kalk means lime as in limestone.)
(And the Stark Varg means Strong Wolf 😎) (”Ikea terms” expands 💪)
Love this comment 😆
11:19 That's the Rumble Motors lead, riding the Apex- I've been scraping and scouring the internet to learn everything I can about it and I still have SO MANY questions I want to ask him 😩I need to ask about the 60v battery upgrade that they might be planning, and running both the batteries at the same time
I'd love you forever if you could test it out and give your thoughts on it 🙏 I cannot overstate how obsessed I've been about the Apex
I’ll be posting a video on my other channel TailHappyTV with the Apex soon 😜
@@JuicedJoyrides 👀
Fun video but everything is beyond my pay grade at this point in time
Talaria sting R / 12000w stealth bomber Clone" was there a better bike than these 2???
With these out there are you picking any of these over it
Your commentary and reactions made me think this was your first time on an ebike/moto. I was actually shocked when I checked out your channel and saw that you have been doing this for a while lol
😆🤙⚡️
Those red cruiser bikes looked pretty badass.
haven't tried those yet, but look fun
I've seen em in the wild in Europe, only parked though. Always wondered about them, they do look cool
Need to try a Boxx Bike bro. Make all of those look silly in every way except range.
So it's safe to assume that a stock surron with a bac4000 and a 72v battery beats most of these bikes at a similar price?
Yes
The F80 looks like the Talaria XXX concept 🤔🤟👽🚲🎬
14:41 wow!! "Accelerating at an accelerating rate." That is what's known (in physics) as "jerk", a change in acceleration. That's definitely different for a bike.
haha indeed, fellow engineer here? Brings me back to physics 151 at Purdue. I forgot about that term, it's the third derivative in calculus, right?
@@JuicedJoyrides Yes!! You got it! The 1st derivative of position is velocity, 2nd would be acceleration, 3rd is jerk. Actually, I started off in the college of engineering when I went for an EE degree. Well before it would have made sense to, instead, do a dual major, I changed my major to computer science and I work as a programmer.
Rep says the sprocket is 82-85 when it's visibly a 108T :) close enuf
And that smaller sprocket would give more torque 😆
fast is relative, fast compared to a bicycles yeah, compared to a moto no. You got me sold, I'm getting a Talaria, lol. That cake cost more than my ZeroSR with 3k miles used by several grand.
haha nice, yeah, cake is crazy expensive! Enjoy the Talaria!
The last 2 were the best
I’d choose #4 but not sure it’s worth over 2x #3
We’re you able to test ride the ryvid anthem?
I had the prototype ride on this channel in the fall, I’m talking with the co-owner Dong about getting one to borrow for a while and make videos
@@JuicedJoyrides I think they had a newer production version at the event. If you are able to get one, that’s be good. They have been pretty hush hush on answering any questions about their upcoming anthem and seem to be trying to target the electric motorcycle market rather than targeting the electric bike/pev market which has a younger crowd that typically doesn’t have an m1 license
2nd that. Apparently it’s mid-drive now?
@@BaileyAirsoft the ryvid anthem has always been a mid drive
I want the rumble air
Me too
Nice
“Cakecock” 😂
That’s impressive for 52volt
Riding a motorcycle with no gloves or pants! He has obviously never wrecked. Yet!
I layed my cbr600rr down in the past, crashed my 72v sur Ron doing wheelies too
You are right, Cake puts huge sprockets to achieve the absolutely insane torque. 11:56 says 280nm. A KTM 450 has about 50nm. Just please don't call the Kalk "Cock".
This shouldn't have named it cock
I wish Energica cost as much as those bikes, one day these prices will drop
The cheaper black kaik looks way better than the spendy one. The spendy one wants to be an iPhone really bad or something. Not feelin it.
To be fair I only crashed cause it was Kurt’s bike 😂😂
😂 was that you?!
@@JuicedJoyrides yes and the sad part is that I crashed an onyx when I work there 😂😭
I guess where you are, you cannot test in wet or snowy conditions.
Caofen (coffin?) Kalk (c*ck?) I wish these guys could get some better names for american markets.
😂
because when a car hits you. you go straight to a caofen.
heh doze mammoths on di boiks looks okword.
Sir.... These are E Bikes....
Really stupid they have a 70 foot test track?? Why even bother at that point
it is gai
Talaria would've easily won if it was tested 😂
those are not motorcycles those are pit bikes. a motorcycle should be able to pass a car on the highway. Zero, Energica, Livewire, etc
I need to get on some of those soon
I only have a Zero, but your free to take it out and feel some real power.
That entire ebike show is irresponsible putting powerful motorcycles in the hands of people who have never ridded ebikes, and especially motorcycles!! Like your last ride, all motorcycles have rear brakes on the right foot, and you were uncomfortable with it. For motorcyclists, the right foot brake is the natural place for it.
That rumble bike is hideos.
those are not motorcycles, more like e bikes, e motorcross.
Can’t catch a break, when I call them e-bikes people get mad and say they are motorcycles 😆
@@JuicedJoyrides well when you say "fast electric motorcycles", there's some commercial ones that can do 200mph+ with 2 sec 0-60 lol, none of these can even do highway speed, they're slow emotos, or fast ebikes
Have you ever rode a motorbike?, seat position you have is off a amateur, be as far forward to tank as possible, sitting on the rear mudguard is all wrong bt amusing to watch,,
Yeah I’ve owned two enginecycles 😉 maybe another one soon
at this point just get a motorcycle not something that only goes like 70 mph
Valid question
Because these are basically toys for kids who can't drive yet, hooligans who are skirting the road laws or need a second throw-around bike from their motorcycle/truck, or dudes needing a ride after getting their 3rd DUI and license cut up.
You're correct, if you're spending 5k and up on an Ebike that can't even hit 70 and has a 40 mile range...there's literally no reason to get one. Just get a motorcycle, you can grab a brand new CBR300R for 5k OTD and it'll get you farther faster with no highway speed struggle.
@@FrostXFire But surely the market for fast ebikes is bigger than that- not just for kids with their parent's credit card and DUI enthusiasts
I don't know any convincing answers or explanations to that mystery. that's ok though cuz I'm not here to convince anyone, I just think they're cool
This is just for someone who has the cash and wants to ride to the local CVS or Wendy's and doesn't need the range, speed, or noise.
most looked like they were designed by a 2 year old
Amstrong didnt won anything bro, he cheated
Oprah is fat .
Mantis is a garbage, specs are fake
Are you kidding me ??? You can
get a Kawasaki 400 for 5.5K.
220 mi per tank. No waiting for
charging. Something you can
really ride on the street.
WAY BETTER to me.
