Who ever designed the removable battery with its own wheels and handle deserves a 👍👍👍.
I could see this taking off with the demographic it's aimed at .
Everyone in cities?
@@jonasweber9408 Not just cities, Lithium battery get damaged if charged at low temps so great idea to bring it inside to charge :)
@@shardlake damaged is a harsh word for modern batteries. It isn’t ideal, but it doesn’t break anything. Many cars with passive battery temperature management do it for at least a decade, and they are fine..
Uber eats
Removing the battery must make theft of the bike difficult. The removable battery is a great feature if you live in a high rise building, no need to cram the bike into the lift , just take the battery home to charge.
The removable battery with suitcase like design is quite innovative
Shut up elon
Anything else would be rly bad lol
Yeh I love it
Copied the wau bike
@@seemaprathapan7354 yang
For me one of the biggest plus points of a scooter like this is not having that embarrassing screaming exhaust you get on most petrol scooters, that sounds like a banshee just shut its fingers in a door even when you're only doing 10mph
2 stroke engines really are annoying af
Years ago I rode a Vellocette 200 , a M/Cycle well known for its quietness. I have never understood the need for the smallest motor vehicle on the road to make the most noise, hence my interest in this EV. (and my ownership of a LEAF)
@@solentbum Then you have never understood the need to make things cheaply.
@@gottliebdee263 What I don't understand is why so many fools pay for aftermarket exhaust systems that 1. Fail to comply with anti noise regs, and 2. all too often detract from the real power output of the two stroke engine. and 3. probably negate the warranty on the bike.
As we know the exhaust on a two stroke engine is part of the power production , proper engine scavenging via the exhaust is part of that.
With regard to price, manufacturers will produce the cheapest tat that they can get away with, that's why there are so many regulations in force to control them.
There have been plenty of quiet 4 stroke scooters for many years now.
I really like this design because THE most useful thing about my regular scooter (Leonardo 250) is the huge underseat storage area plus the bag hook on the leg shield. Which allows me to carry three bags of shopping at a time, or stow my helmet, gloves, jacket etc when I'm away from the scoot. The S01 is the only electric scooter I've seen that can boast the same practicality without having to bolt an ugly top box to it. Bravo to Silence for recognizing that scooters are practical devices first and foremost, and that you shouldn't have to sacrifice storage just because it's electric.
I love my motorcycle, but when it comes to going shopping and commuting I wish I had a scooter
Have a Honda PC 800 (a scooter on steroids ? ) Storage in trunk is great & on the road it 'kicks a** and takes names' . . . plus a good cross-country touring machine . . . . .
Top Man... Finally a scooter. 👍.
I use one daily to commute to work and do 25,000+ per year commuting. Whilst enjoying cars & motorbikes. Really impressed to see Rory covering this very important commuter tool.
You have an electric scooter like this ?
@@nickclarkuk No. One like that can't do motorways and 25,000 miles per year. However, my wife does have one similar. As she has just started motorcycling. She loves it.
@@mikadavies660 good to know . Yeah my commute is 46 miles a day , about 80% on A roads and dual carriage way. I heard in the top speed mode this bike can only do 36 miles so I don’t think it’s possible as no where to charge at work and I ride in freezing weather. Wish I lived closer to work so I could swap to one of these from my CB500F. Stairs at both ends of my journey.
@@mikadavies660 having said that if an electric blue charging point is readily available while I work it might be possible in Brighton . I also have tesco pod charger nearby . I need to investigate properly .
@@nickclarkuk It may indeed be an issue with this one scooter. But there are others out there. More importantly it means that by 2022 there will be a model that fits your bill. I used £11 per day in petrol. That is over £200/mth. Which is the finance on a new electric! So we are nearly there.
I love it when Rory reviews 2 wheeled vehicles! We need more 2 wheeled reviews from Rory :)
I’m sure I saw him review the Ducati Diavel so what’s he doing with ‘L’ plates???
Best name for the moped, Scooty McScootface, love it
That is really slick, especiall the storage under the seat and the battery and really like the fat tires but what stole the show was while you were driving the flock of birds behind you at 8:10!
Thanks!
For clarity, a moped can be ridden at 16 (unlike this bike) and is 50cc or less, and cannot go faster than 28/30 mph. This bike is a motorcycle, and you need to be 17 years old, and have completed your CBT - to then ride it on L plates. I hope this helps ! This bike look really good. Thanks for a great video.
From a motorcyclists perspective there are plenty of scooters that can already do what this does. Where this wins out, however, is the separation of battery space and storage space. You don't need to sacrifice your cargo room for another battery. And you don't need to carry a heavy battery around in your arms. The battery removal and installation on this is pure genius and I hope it catches on. However for many this is still not viable until it actually reaches 70mph. Great to see that some progress is finally being made with electric bikes even if it's just finally getting the basics right.
There are already high-end electric bikes. They just don't sell, because of the price tag, and people tend to ride big bikes because of style.
@@jacvpt8778 I'm referring to the cheap 125 and 50cc equivalent bikes from Niu, super soco and similar brands. They're getting close to the price of petrol bikes but this is the only one I've seen to really nail the cheap bike formula as well as an equivalent slow 125. It just needs to actually get past 70mph for people to take it seriously as a 125 alternative.
@@jacvpt8778 The prices are high, but also, those bikes are pretty useless. With low range and impossibly long refueling times. It's not that usual to find a supercharger in the Alps, and 150kms real life range for top of the line models is simply ridiculous.
@@DerpEye I agree about the charge time, but the range is quite good. Energica brand can offer 400km per charge.
@@jacvpt8778 I ride it cuz of the awesome sound, performace for cheap price compared to cars and the feeling of the ride.
Never had or wanted a bike, but I can see the appeal of this for just nipping to the shops or an office or something. Excellent. I might just treat myself!
Most people don't but they never experienced a motorcycle. The experience of freedom and speed can't be matched by any car. But some hate them for obvious reasons. They are risky, wet, cold and expensive if you want the full package.
Go for it!!
@@hermanstokbrood I only like bikes for summer it's just to risky in winter. The clothing is expensive if you ride all seasons but the good stuff does last.
Even nature approves of this litte thing! The birds giving their approval at 08:07
Definitely one for city delivery companies 🔥🔥
juicy4sure...
Not really,because a very cheap petrol scooter(lexmoto for example)would cost a fraction of this bike but for individuals that are moving around 30 miles up 30 miles down,such as myself,makes the perfect bike 🏍, however if a delivery company wants to treat their riders then YES it is awesome!
For the record ☝.....I have tested this bike already and I can tell you that it is just something out of the conventional and it smokes anyone from traffic lights, plus at 62 mph it overruns almost any 125 scooter or 125 motorbike and then the app it is very handy for making sure that you don't run out of electricity, so all in all it is a very good buy.
Personally for me the 3 things that calls me to buy it are:first and most important is the SILENCE 🔕 then the acceleration+top speed and then the cost of running it.This bike means 0 oil,belts,chains,sparkplugs,petrol ☝ so you do your math!😉
Loads of delivery companies are using electric motor scooters now. This company makes make a 2 and 3 wheeled cargo version, popular in their home country of spain but not seen any around here yet, only niu, yadea and super soco.
For fast food delivery need way bigger battery 7kWh + or two of these batteries to last one shift !
Above my price range...as us food couriers have to pay for our own bikes. But along with a second battery it would be perfect. So close to perfect...Hopefully prices will drop as economies of scale kick in or I find a used one a year later.
I'm not into bikes but this is pretty cool, removeable battery is a cool feature particularly if you don't have off street parking. I assume that you can charge the battery both when it is out of the bike & in the bike.
Agreed -- I'd like to know that too! I wouldn't want to take the battery out if I didn't have to.
According to the makers website you can charge in the bike, from a normal household socket.
@@xchopp Saves getting it nicked by some scumbag though. :)
@@tonyhaynes9080 don't think the battery can be accessed without the key so just take key with you. But doubt a theif wants to take a 25kg weight battery with them.
@@MTCoblivsicas12345 well it depends on how valuable it is, who'd thought people would be stealing catalytic converters
I'd like to laugh at your claim that a petrol scooter can only do 85 miles but despite my old 125 getting around 200 miles per tank, I could not ride it 200 miles without stopping... Oh no, my arse would have been numb by 20 miles and my wrists would have shattered with vibration. Still, a bike ride to work does mean you arrive with a smile on your face, 85 mile range is more than enough for a little bike.
My old yamaha virago 250cc still get 100mpg around the city
Rory I love your work man👌
Wow! I really like the look of this, my commute is around 22 miles return, so a single charge could last me nearly all week! And I love the fact you can remove the battery.
My commute is similar and I’ve used a 250cc motorcycle for the past 3 years. It’s 3 gallon tank typically lasts me 1.5-2 weeks. So not a major expense. I could see the silence working if it went a little faster.. My drive involves a couple miles of highway which uses has me doing 65-70. Maintenance requirements are minimal, with the major expenses over the past 20k miles being a couple tires.. and I guess 1.5 qts of oil every 1000 miles, although I change it a little more often than I really need to.
5 grand is decent, I was really expecting 7+ Hope it takes off as it seems really useful for some.
It has already taken off here in Spain where it comes from. You can see a lot of them in Barcelona, which is the city that it was designed for
Can confirm there's plenty of these in Rome, too. 99% of them are used by scooter sharing companies. Pretty nice ride.
This is amazing! Such a fantastic idea... and not only everything about the bike makes perfect sense, the battery is genius! You can use the battery to power other devices... I mean more than 5kwh will give you enough juice to pass an entire night with lights and TV and other devices on, just powered by the battery. During the day you can charge it up with solar panels and you can be mostly off-grid... this is game changing and the price is very, very competitive. I wish they would sell it in Australia, I'd get one right away.
Maybe then you will have to choose between going out and watching TV.
It seems very versatile. A nice feature to have
@@anirudhhhh haha, yes, but still you could take it with you when camping as portable camping power bank...
@200w per square meter the current output of top spec solar panels, You will need a large solar array to charge it up, in say 8 hours! And as solar panels need the sun, that means it will be charging when you want to use it to go to work etc? So now you need to buy another set of batteries to charge during the day to use to charge the bike and in inverter? But long term the prices of the batteries will probably come down?
Imagine these as hire bikes in central city and airports. Like park n ride type?
Great review as always, fair and honest. I like this concept, and hopefully it's just the start of more to come. Cheers!
1:07 If you're more into retro styling, the Super Soco TC is a good option, my buddy owns one and loves it, and I have to say it looks absolutely amazing. You can get it with either one or two batteries, for 50 or 100 miles of range with hotswap batteries, and it costs just $3000.
Wow! look at that battery pop out on rollers. nice engineering
These were one of the coolest things I saw at Fully Charger Live this year.
The removable battery opens it up to so many more people and scenarios.
Basically makes them un-stealable as well, which is a bonus!
A battery replacement is around £1000? So they chuck the bike in a van and get a new battery, the bike is worth £4000 so it will still be stolen like millions of motorcycles, I've had 4 stolen in my 42 years of riding! Last one was a lovely little CG125 I was trying to do 100,000miles on, it was up to 86000 and still running like new!
@@rogerblackwood8815 there is only one importer of them in the country, and I asked the main guy this when I spoke to him. He implied that he would require proof of ownership before selling someone a new battery.
@@SeanPowell That's reassuring, but one scrote buys a legal bike and gets the batteries for his mates. Like when kids get the 18 year old to buy the beers🍺🍺🍺🍺
@@rogerblackwood8815 The battery and bike each have a separate GPS tracker. If it did get stolen, you'd know where it was.
@@paulnewman2000 That sounds a little overkill? How much does it cost to run a tracker (Monthly charges etc) on a battery that's worth £1000 when new? And GPS trackers are limited by needing line of sight to the sky I thought? That would be easily overcome with a battery that is charged in your house? I'm not being argumentative, just exploring the practicalities of it all. To be honest for a run around into town/work etc, this bike seems like a great option and motorcycle security is high on my mind when riding in towns etc!
Great episode when wanting to see more on this scooter I saw them online a couple years back thank you very much for doing this one
This is so appealing!! It is nice to see an electric scooter w great value for city ppl! And the battery is pure genious yet so simple!!
Awesome wee bright green machine! I love that removable battery pack with its own wheels and handle - ingenious! Sign me up!
That's very well designed, in fact I'd say almost perfect for what it is. The brake setup is fantastic, I have been hoping to see regen braking on ebikes so that is impressive. And the battery coming out like that is a fantastic idea since you can then charge it and keep it indoors meaning it doesn't get cold
Seriously if I was into 2 wheels, I would strongly be considering purchasing a Silence. Great review as always Rory, AutoTrader.
Love the murmuration behind Rory's head at 8:08!
The removable battery could be really useful for those using it to get to work too. Just wheel it in to the office/shop or wherever and plug it in 👍
People might complain about you carry a big health and safety hazard into the office.
@@anirudhhhh how much of a karen do you have to be to complain about a battery..
Always thought coffee shops, fast food restaurants, libraries could offer to charge for a small fee or if you purchase X amount of items.
Pubs could even do it.
@@anirudhhhh Those in the office might not worry about the battery itself, but they certainly wouldn't like the Honda generator used to recharge the battery. Noisily chugging away next to the photocopier with a hose carrying the exhaust through an open window...
@@anirudhhhh if it's under your desk then who is it bothering?
I love this guy! Great accent,nice sense of humor and a super delivery!
really good review ,I watched it twice and enjoyed it and picked up more information the second time round...all the best for the future Rory.
Thanks Rory , I am into bikes mainly vintage petrol ones but this little machine really appeals to me now as I am getting on a bit (74)
You do the best reviews 👍
That looks great! I'm interested to see if any major manufacturers are coming up with something similar soon
Cool 😎 but when the bones are getting old and easy broken I don't know! . But For that distance at a £1:00.. That's brilliant.... I'll stick with the four wheels. Nice one once again Mr Reid.. Keep up the great work..
would ask for proof of that. why did he not do a range test full to 0 they have done it with cars why not with bikes since many factors mean that range may be far from true
I'd love one for commuting and local trips.
THis is great. I loved my Gilera Runner when I lived in London and this would absolutely nail that role.
Already thinking of how to modify it, awesome piece of machinery, and awesome video
Wow, love the removable battery.
A 1-5 zone Travelcard for a year is £2.5k, after 2 years you've covered the cost of this scooter and get the freedom of going anywhere, also commuting like this is way more fun than stuffing yourself in the tube
I was quite gobsmacked when you said 0-50 in 3.8 secs. And it looks good.
50Kph = just above 30Mph 🙄
@@alangordon3283 Well done…you pass the test.;)
Great video and fun to watch. Who ever thought about the battery pack was a genius. Also you might want to rethink the voice quality when wearing the helmet.
Nicely thought out. I wouldn't mind one just for the odd trip to the shops etc. Good vid, like n sub.
Mr bean approves 😅🤙🏼
You really should check out the Ola s1 pro from India! It's amazing and loaded with tons of features!
Grown up on fast bikes but get my kicks on Mtb’s now. Got a country commute and I’d love this Scoot! Think the colours great for visibility especially with cars that do more and more and drivers doing less and less.
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat. Nice review.
What a great idea, all you need is a second battery that's left at work charging over night and you can do a lot larger commute...
It charges in eight hours, so you don't need a second battery.
@@danhunters8226 Maths isn't your strong point is it Dan? 60 miles is looking like the realistic range, so my commute of 43 miles means I won't get home without charging it at the office. A battery left at the office means you can leave for home, or GO ON APPOINTMENTS, visit friends/family etc, without waiting for the one and only battery you decided to go with to charge!
Rory's cheap 24kWh Leaf cost around the same and with a cheap overnight electricity tariff is around 1.5p/mile to drive. Having said that it's a nice little machine and the battery design is ace!
But it has 4 wheels and thus for me is boring to drive, cars are crap, The moped will be fun especially with the instant electric torque! and you can use the battery as an off-grid powerbank etc whilst not on the bike. Very cool.
Looks and sound brilliant. The battery removal is well thought out
Been looking for something for my extreme shifts in the city and I think this might be the one. Great review
First Electric Road Vehicle I have seen that makes any sense. It matches what most people would use a scooter for. It might even make the London to Brighton run at a pinch maybe. Not sure how comfortable it is for that type of distance
Decent value, I was waiting for the usual EV price tag that makes you wince. Ideal as a city commuter, or just nipping around if you don't have passengers to worry about.
Loving your Dainese bike jacket with the auto trader colourings 👍
I am not a bike rider but would be tempted for local trips, nice. the removable battery is inspired.
£5000 for a petrol scooter? Not the same style that this one... for example, if we go for a Honda SH125i (there are brands that are much cheaper!) that has similar performance it costs £3549, so quite a discount over £5000... Yes, the electric one is cooler but let's get the facts right 😅
Piaggio One cost 3000€, so there are other brands for electric scooters which charge far less. And there are still a lot of Chinese Bikes to chose
@@manup1931 where do you get the chinese ones from?
You still have to factor in regular service schedule costs associated with engine oil/filter and belt, Tax (£30 I think). And petrol costs which is around 400% more than this to run.
@@EinkOLED Yes, that's true but it doesn't cost £5000. And in any case with £1500 you can run it for a long time... I'm in favour of electric vehicles but without lies.
They make the S02, which is very similar, all be it with a slighter lower top speed (limited, i believe they have the same motor) and a more utilitarian design for around €1,000 less, helps narrow the gap a bit
A few things come to mind,
1, £5k for a 125 elec equiv to pet?
2, Life expectancy of the battery and cost of replacement?
3, You still need either a 2y CBT or motorcycle license to use.
Ideally for me I want something that equates to 50 cc, that is less than half the price and you can just use your car license to operate, otherwise it looks like a cool addition to someone that has a decent car😁.
I wonder what the insurance is like for one of these bikes
but I still challenge the £1 for 100 miles with the increased UK electricity prices.
and that it can not be charged away from home on any ev charger (7kw) ones
I wish the governme t would up the power allowance for car licence holders from 50cc or equivalent.
Slow bikes are dangerous bikes.
If they want to encourage people out of cars lets us ride 125s on a car licence (or equivalent electric).
@@thebrowns5337 Just go and pass the driving test perhaps?
@@thebrowns5337 the thing comes is that car driver have knowledge that a new rider does not an understanding of the roads, a 50cc bike is not going to get some one who has had a powerful car to go to it
But there is also insurance. you should be able to just add a bike to your car insurance since you can't use both at the same time. but allow a number of bike claims before effecting your premium .
The S02 LS might be more suited to your needs.
Seems like we're looking at the future, can't see any disadvantages vs a normal scooter, price is reasonable considering its new tech, very impressive definitely want one now
This is great.
The battery charging solution is sheer genius.
Thats awesome ! Make one in a different shape, more of a scrambler/commuter style and you'll sell millions 😁
I agree
Give it a " street fighter" style
A 60's mod design and a Moto cross design along with the grocery better look Rory rode,and you will appeal to 1000's of college aged kids.
This is great. Less hasstle to own, dont have to worry about oil changes etc, servicing in general will be simpler. Cheaper to run per mile. Quieter, surely no one likes the 2 stroke drone of a 50cc/125cc scooter. You can be cheeky and plug it in at work and charge it there not at home =D
That is one well designed, clever bike, good review thanks.
Getting mine in the New Year, can't wait
i really like the design of the battery, its too easy to carry it on wheel ,, although similar range & speed E scooter is available in our INDIA for 1lakh, (near 1000 pound ) 😁
Nice inventions but if you bring them to India it will be a marvelous change for globe and good business 💵💵💵💵💵
But this is hideous. Ola scooter is much better than this in every way.
Best one I have seen yet, fantastic design, can see this really taking off.
Wow that's really impressive. I am not into full blown motorcycles but that is very inviting.
I thought they should have made the right break the strong one and the left the regen. Every other bike has the right handle break for the front wheel where you get 70% of your breaking and the right foot pedal for the back break. So if you are use to a typical bike in a panic emergency situation, you will using regen instead of full breaking. Motorcyclists generally don't go for the clutch handle for full emergency breaking.
I have this scooter so let me explain. The right handle brakes the front, plus activates regen on the back wheel. The left handle primarily brakes the back wheel, plus a little bit weaker the front wheel. When I approach a red light, I only brake with the right handle for soft braking, plus I get lots of energy back with regen. If I drive faster, I brake with BOTH handles at the same time. This is what I was told at driving school, and what is the safest.
The removable battery on wheels is the future brought forward. Innovative how the wheels pop out and retract. Let's face would anyone even by suitcase without wheels nowadays. Styling is good. Hope other more muted colours are available. No need to alert the thief's to it. The price is right. I think this company has a big hit on its hands. Another great vid by the team and yes to more bike content.
I own a black one!
@@cosmodoc Sounds cool. Can you comment on the real word range. How far can you really get and are the charge times accurate?
@@Geometric-Rate 7 hours to full, range with mixed riding 50-60 miles
Thanks. Really cool review. Nice little run around indeed and at a very minimalistic price and pace. Almost Perfect actually ☺
That has some pretty good pep in it's step. Hopefully prices come down soon because I'd love one of these for a fun summer runabout.
Wow this thing is insane! I thought my gas powered honda beat scooter can only go ±80 miles (120km) with only $1.5 was already impressive, but this electric one is on another level
Cool but way too expensive! If it costs half of that, it'd be a tremendous proposal however for this kinda money there's a lot of competition.
As soon as people stop laughing at EV cars/bikes etc, the faster we can get on with mass production, more competition and therefore, yep, you guessed it... Cheaper prices.
@@TheJessefuji so far there is no evidence that EV prices are going to be lower than ICE equivalents. It is quite the opposite in fact, prices are going up as more mainstream branded models turn up and I highly doubt that will change.
Rory is a legend his videos always have my full attention
fantastic I hope there coming to Australia
I've had a Honda Sh300i for many years - 280cc - so I'd probably find this a bit slow. The small wheels would put me off too. No mention of ABS either - might sound like overkill for a bike but it's saved my bacon on a few occasions and should be mandatory. Disappointing that the mainstream bike manufacturers have been so slow to go electric.
Well the SH300 is just brilliant. Compact size, large wheels and plenty power (20kW) for relaxed cruise at 100kmh highway speed and do quick overtakes on top. I agree, I don't think this can replace a SH300 but I think it's marketed as a 125cc. Too bad the market for a bit larger electric scooter is so limited. There's the BMW CE04, but that bike is way more expensive. ABS is a must in my book, regardless of bike size, weight, speed or price.
My stingy me will not even spend a pound because I'll be charging it in the office.
My friend recently recommended me to get an electric scooter with a detachable battery after selling my car, I personally don't see myself riding a scooter but this one is very appealing looking. Has storage, range, I can charge the battery at home or work which is huge to me, definitely considering it now.
Great value ! These should sell very well
Removing the battery is a great security feature. I get really fed up of adverts for electric cycles saying it goes 40 miles on a charge when in reality it's 10 miles. The size of that battery makes me think 100 miles is possible.
Really nice feature with the battery. Although you are opening up yourself to being pranked. Imagine a mate wheeling out your battery for a laugh!
@@faisalleeds you need the ignition key to unlock the battery
You'll get 40 - 45 miles flat out in sport mode. 55 - 60 miles in city mode. You might squeeze 60-70 miles out of it if you don't leave Eco mode, but that restricts you to a top speed of 43 mph. For mixed modes - driving from the outskirts into a city centre and back, you could get around 50 miles, more if you can put it on charge while you are at work.
@@faisalleeds Also the battery has its own separate GPS tracker, so you could catch up with your mate and prank him straight back.
Elctric this elctric that , this most be the most supportive Chanel for elctric cars
It's e-vember it's there electric vehicle promotion month
@@mrortega468 thank you i just knew this information thankfully November about to end
He should review an non diesel but electric submarine like akula class
@@aborkmga1 oh okay 👍 even tho I'm not a electric vehicle user Ive actually liked the content .
I noticed on other reviews that you can use the battery as an independent power supply as well ☺️. Very useful 👍
That route planning feature on the app would be great especially if it integrates the location of charging stations.
It's good for what it is, but many of your comparisons to a regular moped or a motorcycle are absolutely not correct. First of all it does cost alot more. Something similar like a Honda Grom or Benelli Tnt125. They cost around 3500 for the Honda and 2400 for the benelli, both of them are doing range of around 250-300km, top speed around 110-115kmh, same weigh and even smaller size. Plus the range you are rating this is probably just what the manufacturer told you, for electric vehicles like that the real actual range is always half of the stated.
Bargain...You'd spend more for an electric Mountain Bike...I'd have one...Ha !!
True but where you buying super expensive Mountain bikes??? I wouldn't go over £2000 as a maximum.
You think this will come to the US? Great video, first time to your channel.
Wow, what a nice thing. And the battery pack, well done.
removable battery actually is smart it maintains the serviceability of your bike. reasons its good are. 1. convenient charging at home for low cost. 2. temperature of battery can be managed while its parked up reducing battery degradation. 3. security aspect less likely to get hotwired / its a greater inconvenience to steal. 4. swapping for a pre charged battery makes using the vehicle almost like petrol. so for business use it or time saving for its user.
This guy has a voice that the mainstream news anchors should imitate. natural, sounding interested and not robotic.
Clever, and great design. Get it to New Zealand now!
great review. is this one of the best engineered things ever?
I've ridden bikes from 125cc to 1000cc for a number of years. I no longer ride but i think this is absolutely brilliant. I hope this type of tech picks up. I feel EV tech is much more suited and practical in a 2 wheeler than a car. Other than the initial cost, i didnt think of a drawback here compared to a traditional moped/scooter.
Regular maintenance besides tires? In sport mode, how quick to 62? How many miles when running wide open?
Unleashes hell at 62 MPH. Hahaha, best review I've seen in a while. Sub'd
My Fizzy FS1E used to do 100mpg and a gallon in those days ( 1976 ) was only 79p.
That's a nice bike. Really good battery design and has enough punch to get where you need to go.
this looks great for short commutes...love the removable battery and if you can also buy a spare battery that you can keep charged up just in case, whats not to like
that battery is a killer feature!
Genius that battery pack! Not bad for around a city or town!.
The battery system is excellently well thought out, the only down side is the time it takes to recharge.
But if you had two battery packs that might help.
The range is not good and could better.
But that battery system is very impressive.
