Excellent review But you forgot to talk about the remote start of the motorcycle. I bought myself this motorcycle with a mileage of 280 km just 1 month ago and I can honestly say that I am delighted with it/ And by the way, I bought carbon colors with an aluminum frame.
Wonderful video, this and the Artisan ES-1 Pro are very very tempting EDIT: went down to see Matt (gentleman in video) at J&M electrobikes, now I’m convinced, this will be the bike for me, now I just need to decide on the colours! I wish they did a black on black frame but alas they do not, might have to go for the white like in this with black frame and change the white plastic to gloss black, then maybe add the black rear rails from the pro 🤔 it would be truly perfect then!

I'm looking to get one of these for my first bike but I can't seem to find an average insurance quote for example for one of these bikes that doesn't require you already owning one.
We work closely with Lexham for insurance as they have a section dedicated to electric motorbike insurance. Have a look for a quote with the below link. www.lexhaminsurance.co.uk/products/electric-motorcycle-moped-insurance/?aff=LEX7148
Thanks for the video - very informative for people like me who are considering a change from an ICE bike to electric. Unless I'm missing something there does seem to be a big gap in the range of bikes that are available. At the one end, there's the Horwin CR6 and Super Soco TC, which are just about affordable (for me), but somewhat smaller and with much less range than the ICE bikes I'm used to. At the other end of the scale there's the models by Zero and Energica, which have a decent range but are priced way over my budget. Do you know if there are any models in between these 2 extremes on their way, or already available?
Hi Steve. The CR6 is a perfect choice as a first bike. They really are awesome machines! We'd be happy to help you get closer to owning one. If your local to us we can host you for a demo if you've not tried one yet, but also happy to get one ordered for you! Feel free to give me a call on 07554012342 to discuss further! Matt
@@two70motorcycles thank you very much. You are about an hour and a half away from me. But the offer would be greatly appreciated. I am still yet to do my CBT
No Problem Steve. If you wanted to have a go before you do your CBT we do have a large area of private land to try them on so wouldn't be a wasted journey if you do decide to head over to us!
I am also looking at this for my first bike and will be in touch as I like your channel and it helps with a buying guide for your business, but I'm still torn between the super suco TC max and this🤦🏻♂️
Super merci Vidéo super intéressante. Je n'ai jamais eu de motos a part (Motobecane 51) mais cette moto électrique m'intéresse pour rouler sur Paris à aller me balader. J'aime les motos plus lourdes je trouve que c'est plus stable les Peugeot spx j'avais peurs dessus je préfèrerai les Motobecane.
Hi Nuno. Thanks for your comment. There are a few key differences between to two to consider. Performance wise with speed and range they are very similar. TC Max has a removable battery which is good if you need to charge off the bike, whereas the CR6 has battery and charger built in so no need to carry around the charger separately. Handling differs in that the TC Max is very light and nimble making it great through traffic, the CR6 is a little heavier but feels very stable. All these factors, plus the styling, really make it a choice based on how you'd use the bike and which you prefer the look of!
This has me crazy tempted but I've seen there's been issues with exploding batteries when charging with the ignition still on due to a lack of High Voltage Cutoff. Has anyone else experienced and issue?
Its a nice bike but my issue is how the dealers that sell these and other electric bikes are ripping people off with the price, the grant discount is supposed to be a benefit to the buyer and encourage the purchase of electric and make it cheaper, however the dealers learned than they could up the price on the bike artificially so that when the 20% is taken off it costs way more than it should and basically costs as much as it would had there not been a discount and the dealer can then bank that free money. At the time of this video it was £5000 after the 20% so without that the cost of the bike would be £6000 give or take, but shortly after that the dealers all got wise and one by one bumped up the price to around £6960 give or take then they do the 20% discount which would make the cost with the discount around £5795, then they bank that £800 as free money rather than pass the discount onto the buyer as it should be and was intended.
Hi EQUINOX, Just to ensure clarity, the dealers don't decide the rrp for these bikes, they are set by the importers / manufacturers, and as a dealer network we have a contractual agreement to sell at these agreed prices to ensure consistency across all retailers. The government grant changed in Dec '21 meaning that the contribution has reduced from a max of £1500 to a max of £500 which is why you've seen a price increase over the last month or so. I hope that clears this up for you. Any other questions please let us know.

Great video mate. Keep saying but gotta come and try out one of your electric machines soon!
Really good review, looking at getting my first bike and CR6 seems perfect for urban riding and couple of hours on Dartmoor! Thanks
Fantastic review m8, full of useful information, thank you 👍
Hi Phil, thanks for your comment. Much appreciated. Are you looking to get a CR6 or are you researching at this point?

I like foot brakes
thanks for the video, but what about the possibility of washing the bike? does she have a problem with water?
Super merci
Vidéo super intéressante.

Would a regular garage be able to service one of these? Or would it need to go to a specialist bike dealer?
Hello J&M. Between the Horwin CR6 and the Super Soco TC Max, what do you choose? What tilt your choice? Best regards.

Just a thought, most type 2 chargers are 7kw. Does that mean it will charge the battery even faster?
Did you find an answer can't seem to see input on this
10kw
No I didn't @@CraigMorton-uu2cs

Can it last 30 km on 90km/h and 20km on 50km/h in one day/ride?

Petrol is also explosive - pass it on

Prefer this to the Soco TC Max
Soooo tempted… thank you. Sub from me
Oops out performed by the niu mqi GT Evo scooter . Embarrassing.
I wouldn't say that's embarrassing at all. The MQi GT Evo is rapid and would out perform a lot of petrol 125cc motorbikes as well!
