I'm 77 year old US DAV and and I have ridden bikes since I was 6 years old and I would Love to have this and not be ashamed to ride it. At one point in the late 70's I had a job running a computer service for the Board of Realtors in San Berdo and I lived in Crestline up on the top of the mountain. My job was only one hour a day and on a pager the rest of the day, I rode my Yamaha 360 enduro on the fire trails all day every day and this would have been the dream to cruse up there with no sound just enjoying pure nature undisturbed. I would be blessed with one of these . . .
That’s awesome. I wish I had a job where I could ride dirt bikes for most of the day. Thank you for sharing one of your Stories. I’m 47, I grew up in another era but still before the tech came along, so grew up riding dt’s and old AG bikes and then moved up to Yamaha yz 2 stroke and then 2 stroke cr 500, before electronic everything… had a blast growing up and still ride to this day. I have some awesome stories too from the 80’s riding dirt bikes through suburbia, on golf courses and parks and schools.. getting chased by cops every day 😂
The talaria is a 60 volt 45 mph 6000 watt dirt bike. This is a 72 volt 10kw street legal 64 mph bike that is lighter than the xxx. You can also get a 15kw version. The eride pro ss is a bit better of a comparison but it's not street legal and has no Regen but double the torque for 4800ish.
The horror. What did e-bikes ever do to you? You also couldn't be more wrong. I've owed over 100 gas bikes and I love my electric. I've had my Zero S for almost 4 years and spent almost nothing on charging or maintenance other than tires. There are lots of places that have free charging where I live. I've never spent a penny for charging except at home and its minimal. As a struggling senior it's been life changing. Living in the west I ride it almost every day to an adjacent town for lunch. No way I would be doing that if I was paying for gas. 0-50mph acceleration is mind blowing.
I agree and I think everyone should have a electric vehicle for a backup! I think some people are just deep down jealous that electric is gaining so much popularity ! I love gas and yet I really love electric also!
I think the main reason a lot of people give electric crap is that you have a lot of people that think it should replace combustion engines outright. I personally disagree...bigly. I think that both have their own benefits and while I personally would not mind owning an electric I find it hard to support them due to the mindset and disinformation around them.

So apparently your not doing something right. Or your talking out your butt. Lol
Ive had a Solar Eq (e-scooter) for two years now, it'll do 45mph with me on it, never had any issues with it, and never had any problems with customer support when i broke the fender. Solar is based in the UK and in my opinion very reliable and one of the only companies to be honest with their claims. 10/10 would recommend
@@SolarScootersuk Being from the UK myself, I was hoping it'd be good and you've built a bit of a winner here so well done. Collect £200 from each player.
45, that's all? I know of city streets where the legal speed limit is faster. Plus our whole city is proof slow speeds cause more wrecks. A whole Southern US campaign to stop speeding and they changed to seatbelt violations because slow driving causes problems.
@@SolarScootersuk No duh. Regardless, 45 as a top speed is slow. Shiiid, 60'll barely do it here. Not uncommon to be doing 20+ speed limit, see police in the rear view and they don't do anythung cus they sick of the slow pokes in the way, jammin up traffic. This the one city where bike riders GTFOTW. Them laws ain't gonna make the pain go away when you get powered slid into and they drive off.
@@geridrhbut you know what the problem with this is they're not considered bicycles because they don't have pedals now in some states you're going to have the police sniffing up your behind if you're on highways and roads and so on so it would strictly be for the dirt but to be honest with you I'd go gasoline all the way on a dirt bike there really is no comparison
Why does every UA-camr doing a give away feel compelled to destroy the item being given away before they actually give it away. Reminds me of the saying, “With friends like these, who needs friends”.
Legal reasons. If it is a new item, it is considered a lottery and for that you need a special license. If they use and abuse it, it's not considered a valuable prize and thus it's not a lottery... These laws are state dependent, but I 'm sure you can imagine how they don't want to be worrying about that one fan order from a restrictive state that makes the giveaway illegal.
@@lukearts2954 Fair enough, it would be hard for any state to consider trash valuable. I think that once they are done turning it into trash though, that they should just recycle the battery and take the rest to the dump where trash belongs instead of suggesting that they are giving away any kind of prize.
The issue that you are addressing at 6:48 is valid. But for someone like me that grew up riding dirt bikes, mountain bikes, and mopeds/scooters the misaligned controls amongst platforms is just a way of life. Also in my experience, the different controls allow for different techniques while riding which can make for a fun experience in my opinion. For instance, most electric dirt bikes have the rear break in the handle bars, meaning that you can through your right foot off the bike while cornering and still utilize your back break if needed. I know a lot of people just read that and short-circuited at the idea of throwing a foot off the bike, but get over it, we all do it and its fun, haha. Furthermore having the back break on your foot means you can do cool no handed wheelies. so its a give or take.
If you didn't realize why the rear brake is up on the left handle bar, it for one doesn't have a clutch and two wheeled vehicles that have no clutch that put the brake lever on the left bar are all bicycles except for those with coaster brakes. It is a very standard location for the rear brake hand lever
I wish all (pedal) bikes had the front on the right and the rear on the left...it would make more sense then trying to forget when you switch to a motorcycle!
@@miicar204 The levers and cable ends are the same between bars. Just switch the lever the cable goes to. The run of the cables is about the same distance and with a little adjustment they usually will reach either side.
That's how I have my bicycles set up! Right front, left rear. Swap the cables from side to side yourself, or ask a shop or coop to switch em for ya. Also known as "moto" or "euro" brake setup (at least for us Americans lol)
@@miicar204For me it's the opposite. I am actually going to switch my brakes around on my Can Am Renegade. I'm afraid I'll try to brake and fly over the front as mind wants the rear brake to be on the left.

This whole video felt a bunch of commercials. I imagine (i could be wrong) he got something to test the bike. Then the hyped Craig cameo was a radio commercial. And finally the constant camera mini commercials sprinkled in.
That's because the algorithm is a dumb ai that can't think for itself lol I never really see any decent comments on ev content. Most people watch it to make fun of it. AI doesn't understand sarcasm unfortunately.
So....... you have a Rune...... please give it a ride for me. I had an opportunity to get a regular Valkyrie, but ended up passing up the deal.....it seemed too good to be true, and was. The gentleman couldn't find the title. Hopefully I see you out in the wild sometime, as I also live in (east)Tennessee.
I get that you aren’t the biggest fan of electric cars and bikes but the technology advancements from those are transferring to other areas. I’m disabled and mobility scooter technology has gone crazy from the trickle down. Once I save the 5000 I will be able to get one that has 30-40 mile range and give me more opportunities in life.
Please note: 'over and out' is a contradiction .. 'Over' entails that you expect a reply, saying 'Out'' means the conversation/transmission has ended and the channel is available for other users/transmissions. If you say 'over and out' it shows everyone listening in that you have been raised by a tv and don't know RF etiquette
I thought over meant you had finished your message. So the recieving person doesnt press the button to talk until you say over otherwise you press the button and cant hear the rest of their message. I dont think it means you generally want a reply, just that youve finished what you said.
I think @1zingero is actually right. Over is short for "over to you", so the other person can begin talking now. "Over and out" means over to you, I'm 'out'/done talking now.
This entire video was just about destroying things like an 8 year old boy. Dented the Rune, destroyed two cameras, buried the e-bike and dipped it in a pond. I’m sure there’s more but I haven’t finished the video. Tennessee move was terrible for the channel so far.

Not sure why people hate on Electric Motorcycles as much as they do. Only 26 and haven't even had a personal vehicle yet, but the more I look at them, the better of an option they seem. 😅
They are getting kinda good ngl but still not good enough to really use as a daily thing in most parts of america.

I love the rear being a hand brake on E bikes. Took me all of 2 seconds to get used to. It's great especially for offroad not having to worry about using your feet for any controls
Hand brakes are just better. Far more control in your hand than in your ankle with a moto boot on. Also, it means no compromising on foot position to use the rear break. Only reason foot brakes exist is because of the need to use a clutch with one hand. Anyone who can ride a pedal bike can use duel hand brakes. Makes sense foot brakes are dying out on ebikes, as foot brakes are just a compromise that doesn't need to be made on clutchless ebikes.
@5:45 we call that a "Kettle lead" but isn't that a US plug on the end? With a British plug on the end (Square, 3-prong), it's a very common 3-wire power lead for laptop chargers and PCs and... yep, kettles. It's 3-way because it has an earth to stop you electrocuting yourself if the device shorts. I don't know if the US has figured that out yet with their 120 V, or has to solve the gun issue first, but yeah. That's what the lead is. And Your confusion is, I THINK related to why, growing up watching US movies, I thought that throwing a hair drier or toaster into the bath would kill someone. No, any short is earthed and/or the fuse blows. British Human = alive. So yeah, the humble kettle plug.
A person who has a lot of trouble adjusting to braking left hand instead of right foot probably shouldn't drive around on any motorcycle. It's a non-issue, even if you've been riding for decades your brain should adapt extremely quickly

No it's not, you can buy a surron or talaria for waay cheaper, I'm talking 3-5k and they are just as fast if not faster and a bigger brand. He's just probably sponsored by these people
For 8-10k you can get a Surron Storm Bee. A bit more expensive, but about double the power output (10kW vs 22.6kW Max) but it also provides some 600NM of torque. It does 0 to 80kmh (0 - 50mph) in 4 seconds
Surons are 60 volts stock and pretty slow but with good torque. You're looking at 4k+ to make them 72 volt. The eride pro ss is about 5k and does 55 mph and is closer to this. You can also get a race mode 15kw version of this for 800 more and both are street legal.

Having a rear brake on your left hand lever is a massive advantage. Helps with foot position, you have more feel, you dont have a foot peg to catch on things. Why wouldn't you put it there. I have multiple motorbikes and its not an issue switching between them.
My Tao Leo gets me to work while my paid off car sits, and doesn't eat into my pocket. I plug my bike in at work on a 110v and have a full charge in roughly 3.5 hrs from a 18 mile commute banging 50mph most of the way. If you live close enough to work, ie: 25 miles/40km, I highly recommend riding a electric motorcycle rather than paying for fuel, maintenance, wear and tear, etc. On a 72v 40AH battery, my commute is a 25% of my battery. For reference, I'm 205lbs. I was 170lbs last season and got better range. $3,700 Cdn vs the $5,200 in service I put into my car in the last 2/3yrs.... The math ain't hard. Go electric.

I'm 77 year old US DAV and and I have ridden bikes since I was 6 years old and I would Love to have this and not be ashamed to ride it. At one point in the late 70's I had a job running a computer service for the Board of Realtors in San Berdo and I lived in Crestline up on the top of the mountain. My job was only one hour a day and on a pager the rest of the day, I rode my Yamaha 360 enduro on the fire trails all day every day and this would have been the dream to cruse up there with no sound just enjoying pure nature undisturbed. I would be blessed with one of these . . .
Look into the Talaria XXX , it's much cheaper and it's pretty much the same thing
That’s awesome. I wish I had a job where I could ride dirt bikes for most of the day. Thank you for sharing one of your
Stories.
I’m 47, I grew up in another era but still before the tech came along, so grew up riding dt’s and old AG bikes and then moved up to Yamaha yz 2 stroke and then 2 stroke cr 500, before electronic everything… had a blast growing up and still ride to this day. I have some awesome stories too from the 80’s riding dirt bikes through suburbia, on golf courses and parks and schools.. getting chased by cops every day 😂
@@aleho1 I wish I could ride dirt bikes all day too at work, but unforutnely I just ride it to and from work
@@pewpewbbqs what, the crestline realtor job? Where you rode the trails all day long?
The talaria is a 60 volt 45 mph 6000 watt dirt bike. This is a 72 volt 10kw street legal 64 mph bike that is lighter than the xxx. You can also get a 15kw version. The eride pro ss is a bit better of a comparison but it's not street legal and has no Regen but double the torque for 4800ish.
The horror. What did e-bikes ever do to you? You also couldn't be more wrong. I've owed over 100 gas bikes and I love my electric. I've had my Zero S for almost 4 years and spent almost nothing on charging or maintenance other than tires. There are lots of places that have free charging where I live. I've never spent a penny for charging except at home and its minimal. As a struggling senior it's been life changing. Living in the west I ride it almost every day to an adjacent town for lunch. No way I would be doing that if I was paying for gas. 0-50mph acceleration is mind blowing.
Yeah but he is a real bike rider that wishes he was.
I agree and I think everyone should have a electric vehicle for a backup! I think some people are just deep down jealous that electric is gaining so much popularity ! I love gas and yet I really love electric also!
I think the main reason a lot of people give electric crap is that you have a lot of people that think it should replace combustion engines outright. I personally disagree...bigly. I think that both have their own benefits and while I personally would not mind owning an electric I find it hard to support them due to the mindset and disinformation around them.
Regen didn't work because you were in Park not in a gear. And the brakes work better after they are broken in and bed in.
how did you know that, do you own one? if you do own one do you like it?
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 I just know a little bit about Ebikes. I don't have one I wish I could afford one. But thanks to the president I'm living in poverty on SSDI.
Pretty spot on , he might need to change the settings to Regen when the throttle isn't active and wheel spinning or using ebs Regen with the brakes.
It also could be hooked up to the front brake. Regen is a joke. 2% max
@@coastalcleaningandmaintena2884 your wrong depends on how much it is set to and what controller it is. If you use a ASI BAC controller you can get way more than 2% and also without Regen I was replacing my brake pads every 3mo and since I now have it working right I haven't changed my pads in over a yr. So apparently your not doing something right. Or your talking out your butt. Lol
Ive had a Solar Eq (e-scooter) for two years now, it'll do 45mph with me on it, never had any issues with it, and never had any problems with customer support when i broke the fender. Solar is based in the UK and in my opinion very reliable and one of the only companies to be honest with their claims. 10/10 would recommend
Thank you for the kind words! Glad you're enjoying your EQ ⚡ Ride safe!

I think this bike is actually pretty impressive.
I agree, I noticed the market is jumping and as more of these light duty e-dirt bike style bikes come out the better they are
@@geridrhbut you know what the problem with this is they're not considered bicycles because they don't have pedals now in some states you're going to have the police sniffing up your behind if you're on highways and roads and so on so it would strictly be for the dirt but to be honest with you I'd go gasoline all the way on a dirt bike there really is no comparison

Why does every UA-camr doing a give away feel compelled to destroy the item being given away before they actually give it away. Reminds me of the saying, “With friends like these, who needs friends”.
*with friends like these, who needs enemies
Legal reasons. If it is a new item, it is considered a lottery and for that you need a special license. If they use and abuse it, it's not considered a valuable prize and thus it's not a lottery... These laws are state dependent, but I 'm sure you can imagine how they don't want to be worrying about that one fan order from a restrictive state that makes the giveaway illegal.
@@lukearts2954 Fair enough, it would be hard for any state to consider trash valuable. I think that once they are done turning it into trash though, that they should just recycle the battery and take the rest to the dump where trash belongs instead of suggesting that they are giving away any kind of prize.
They gotta test it out properly
That’s what makes it special. He rode it. He abused it. It has his touch to it. That’s what makes it valuable to his viewers.
The issue that you are addressing at 6:48 is valid. But for someone like me that grew up riding dirt bikes, mountain bikes, and mopeds/scooters the misaligned controls amongst platforms is just a way of life. Also in my experience, the different controls allow for different techniques while riding which can make for a fun experience in my opinion. For instance, most electric dirt bikes have the rear break in the handle bars, meaning that you can through your right foot off the bike while cornering and still utilize your back break if needed. I know a lot of people just read that and short-circuited at the idea of throwing a foot off the bike, but get over it, we all do it and its fun, haha. Furthermore having the back break on your foot means you can do cool no handed wheelies. so its a give or take.
A Harley guy calling electric bike names cheesy is hilariously ironic
I was thinking the exact same thing!
What? Harley names are (cough, "Fat Boy", cough) very dignified.
Harley got an electric models
@@jayman2030 yeah and it's called "Livewire" 😭
Lolololol
If you didn't realize why the rear brake is up on the left handle bar, it for one doesn't have a clutch and two wheeled vehicles that have no clutch that put the brake lever on the left bar are all bicycles except for those with coaster brakes. It is a very standard location for the rear brake hand lever
I wish all (pedal) bikes had the front on the right and the rear on the left...it would make more sense then trying to forget when you switch to a motorcycle!
@@miicar204 The levers and cable ends are the same between bars. Just switch the lever the cable goes to. The run of the cables is about the same distance and with a little adjustment they usually will reach either side.
I am talking about switching on the bicycle not the motorcycle that would be way more difficult
That's how I have my bicycles set up! Right front, left rear. Swap the cables from side to side yourself, or ask a shop or coop to switch em for ya. Also known as "moto" or "euro" brake setup (at least for us Americans lol)
@@miicar204For me it's the opposite. I am actually going to switch my brakes around on my Can Am Renegade. I'm afraid I'll try to brake and fly over the front as mind wants the rear brake to be on the left.
Why show one bike and then show a totally different one, this is great channel, you don’t need to click bait!
Until a week ago, it irritated me to a different level to click on a video & not see what caught my eye in the thumbnail picture. I have learned that at first UA-cam selected 3 thumbnail images for the owner of the channel to choose from. Then, it was said that UA-cam narrowed down to 1 thumbnail of UA-cams choosing.

I hope he just puts on the thick persona for his moms sake
Right! Couldn't believe it. And to those who say the pond bath simulates driving in the rain, that may be true but regardless, you do all the baseline tests before putting it through the extreme condition tests. Once the basics are done, throw that thing in the oven to simulate driving in the desert for all I care.
@@onepunch7632 ITs definitely not even close to being the same. Depending on how long it was in the water it was actually seeping into parts vs just beading off since you'd be moving and covering half of it with your legs
This whole video felt a bunch of commercials. I imagine (i could be wrong) he got something to test the bike. Then the hyped Craig cameo was a radio commercial. And finally the constant camera mini commercials sprinkled in.

I get that you aren’t the biggest fan of electric cars and bikes but the technology advancements from those are transferring to other areas. I’m disabled and mobility scooter technology has gone crazy from the trickle down. Once I save the 5000 I will be able to get one that has 30-40 mile range and give me more opportunities in life.
Please note: 'over and out' is a contradiction .. 'Over' entails that you expect a reply, saying 'Out'' means the conversation/transmission has ended and the channel is available for other users/transmissions. If you say 'over and out' it shows everyone listening in that you have been raised by a tv and don't know RF etiquette
O5B here. You nailed it. Movies mostly get it wrong.
I thought over meant you had finished your message. So the recieving person doesnt press the button to talk until you say over otherwise you press the button and cant hear the rest of their message. I dont think it means you generally want a reply, just that youve finished what you said.

I think @1zingero is actually right.
Over is short for "over to you", so the other person can begin talking now. "Over and out" means over to you, I'm 'out'/done talking now.

I love the rear being a hand brake on E bikes. Took me all of 2 seconds to get used to. It's great especially for offroad not having to worry about using your feet for any controls
Stunt riders use a hand rear brake
Some dirt bike/dual sport guys run left hand brakes after installing a Recluse auto clutch. Works awesome off road.
Hand brakes are just better. Far more control in your hand than in your ankle with a moto boot on. Also, it means no compromising on foot position to use the rear break. Only reason foot brakes exist is because of the need to use a clutch with one hand. Anyone who can ride a pedal bike can use duel hand brakes. Makes sense foot brakes are dying out on ebikes, as foot brakes are just a compromise that doesn't need to be made on clutchless ebikes.
@@TheWrigleso true
As much as left hand brake sticks for going back and forth, getting controls entirely away from the feet helps with dirt bike maneuverability.

Holy smokes! $7000?!?!? is that cheap?
No it's not, you can buy a surron or talaria for waay cheaper, I'm talking 3-5k and they are just as fast if not faster and a bigger brand. He's just probably sponsored by these people
For 8-10k you can get a Surron Storm Bee. A bit more expensive, but about double the power output (10kW vs 22.6kW Max) but it also provides some 600NM of torque. It does 0 to 80kmh (0 - 50mph) in 4 seconds
A caofen f80 is fairly similar to this, cheaper with a liquid cooled 72v 48ah battery.
Surons are 60 volts stock and pretty slow but with good torque. You're looking at 4k+ to make them 72 volt. The eride pro ss is about 5k and does 55 mph and is closer to this. You can also get a race mode 15kw version of this for 800 more and both are street legal.

To be fair as much as I've been against electric in general. This would definitely come in handy to get around Philly . I'd love to have one when I don't have to travel far
I could use one around town or anything EV for that matter. Now for longer distance or towing I'm still using an ice vehicle. Its actually a big help,that many less people using gas should bring prices down I hope.
This is where I think EVs in their current state excel. Shorter distances and commuting (most people don't drive very far for commuting).
@@callummclachlan4771 exactly! my workplace has ev plugs, and L2 charging- so there's no wait for me to get in a charge bay. Bonus: no gas shortage for me if a storm's coming. As long as I have power, I have vehicle. Although, my bike acts as my backup vehicle if there's no power so *shrug*
And the market has gotten better over the last two years where you can find ev Moto's with plenty of power and distance. They don't feel like a toy they have some pretty serious bikes out now
@@callummclachlan4771 And in smaller vehicles - things like the Stark Varg? Makes PERFECT sense - things like the Cybertruck? REALLY doesn't make any sense with the current tech.
I have been absolutely loving your videos. Watching for a while now and didn't realize I wasn't subscribed! EVERYONE DONT FORGET TO HIT THAT SUB BUTTON
Never had a bike, a moped as a kid, this e bike looks pretty cool, I want one to commute to work 15 min away. Gr8 vid ty
Having a rear brake on your left hand lever is a massive advantage. Helps with foot position, you have more feel, you dont have a foot peg to catch on things.
Why wouldn't you put it there. I have multiple motorbikes and its not an issue switching between them.
No flat spot until he finds it 6 inches away lol😂😂😂
But honestly in the summer if you got a short little 20 mile commute to work it be fun but 6k is kinda steep i mean can buy a 883 for a third of that
Except in many european countries a used harley costs a lot more than 6k
My Tao Leo gets me to work while my paid off car sits, and doesn't eat into my pocket. I plug my bike in at work on a 110v and have a full charge in roughly 3.5 hrs from a 18 mile commute banging 50mph most of the way.
If you live close enough to work, ie: 25 miles/40km, I highly recommend riding a electric motorcycle rather than paying for fuel, maintenance, wear and tear, etc.
On a 72v 40AH battery, my commute is a 25% of my battery. For reference, I'm 205lbs. I was 170lbs last season and got better range. $3,700 Cdn vs the $5,200 in service I put into my car in the last 2/3yrs.... The math ain't hard. Go electric.
@@nibsnibs but a used harley is way too heavy and way too loud ,kind of like most polititians
To be fair if this was a modern gas bike, you still would need to get the battery setup before riding. a lot of bikes dont even have kickstarters anymore.
Yeah but you can still bump start them
@@WV_Raised1983 Dream on geezer new bike have electronic ignition , fuel injection an ECU and an electric fuel pump . No battery ,no go unless you're riding some old pile of scrap metal
@@Calmarsden you don't have to apologize but let me know when you figure it out. Do you even own a motorcycle?
This guy is like 2005’s idea of a ‘cool and edgy’ UA-camr.
will trade ya a 36 pound goldfish for the bike and scooter
me: wow, one of the coolest E-bikes ive ever seen.
Me after seeing price: *MAH HEART MAH SOUL!*
Love the bike being Baptized in the background of your micro-sermon.
I would actually LOVE to have one of these things to get my son into riding bikes. I ride with the combat veterans motorcycle association, but i STILL cant get my son interested in riding.
There is something wrong with your son...
Can I make a suggestion a couple of months ago I just bought my first electric bike and it's a aerial Rider grizzly dual motor dual battery it's a class 2 bike that goes 21 mph if you wanted to go faster you watch a video and you adjust some buttons and it has pedals because if it doesn't it's a motorcycle and it has to be registered but electric bicycle does not and there's a lot of different bicycles out there to choose from and I guarantee you once your son gets out there and start riding he will love it and he will never want to stop I rather ride my electric bicycle to go to grocery shopping then use my car and I'm in my middle 60s I love my bike it is so fun and your son would love it too
Take care and God bless
Maybe he just doesn't like bikes, and that's okay. Better to let him be himself and show interest in what he likes. Don't end up like my dad who puts down everything I like and pushes his opinions on me. I can't stand him anymore.
Bro i got click baaited😂😢😢😢
Until a week ago, it irritated me to a different level to click on a video & not see what caught my eye in the thumbnail picture. I have learned that at first UA-cam selected 3 thumbnail images for the owner of the channel to choose from. Then, it was said that UA-cam narrowed down to 1 thumbnail of UA-cams choosing.
Since I have found out I am a bit more lenient & less irritated. I have watched 3 car videos this week with Jay Leno in the thumbnail pic. Not 1 of 3 said videos had Jay in them.
I wanna know bout that Walki Talki yall were talking cross country?? Please. We're up above the snow line in the NE wash mountains. Need these talkis
I spent $4500 for an ebike that goes 80mph and it does get that fast.
Estrapz 15000w SB Thunder
deff unsafe
@@FinityEdits-kr2qm deff fun
@@FinityEdits-kr2qm I'm GenX, I don't care about safety.
I truly appreciate the carbon balance. It's important in this day and age. Consider retrofitting a 2-stroke Detroit Diesel in Klaus, just to really give you that edge ya know....
OK, so it went 70 or so miles…whoopee! I just bought an Ebike that has a range of 100 miles + at WOT. And it only cost me $1999.00 Granted top speed is only 34 mph but, I would still get to the waffle gitting place long before you ever could, eh? I won’t buy an electric motorcycle till they can have at least a 250 mile range, and not cost 30k or more. Nice video. Keep up the good work and God Bless!
Don't spoil your reputation by inappropriate thumbnail👎

@@sticknzmud2723 yeah.. that's right 👍. I am also a youtuber with over 200k subs.. this feature
is good but I only used it once.. not much of a difference and it also we have to make more thumbnails
The Whistling Diesel style content is not appreciated. Just test the real world scenarios and maybe pick one sponsor to push. Is this a ebike or a camera video?
It's just a sales pitch for a whole slew of different products.
15:55 this is my editor something 2000 something crv something 😂😂😂
Nice clickbait
*_HOW DARE YOU_* ?!?!?
You should hook up with Edison Motors, and create a hybrid bike.
I should
