Thank you, great video. Finally ordered my RCR today!!!! Just wanted to share that with someone. P.S. The people over at Onyx have been awesome so far, I can't wait for it to arrive.
You could go either way. Standard seat height sits at 33" while the shorty sits at 30". It's personal preference, the seat to pedals to handlebar distance is the same either way so your riding position is no different. It's just how far off the ground do you want to be. I prefer to be lower to the ground for better handling and stability. And you'd need to be more specific about what "issues" you're referring to.
Thanks for the help. The issues are just the things people talk about in their videos. The limited turning ability, smaller gauge wire than "they" say should be used, the offset back wheel etc. I was just curious as I know there have been version 1.0, 1.5. What is the current version? Thanks again.
Quick question...assuming we take premier care of our bike & battery, what type of mileage can we expect from our bikes? I'm currently at 8k in about 2 years
That's a good question. The battery is really the only thing that you can't expect to last forever. And they are generally rated for around 800 or more full charge cycles. The motor uses magnets to rotate so it doesn't have any kind of lifespan rating, it could theoretically go forever. I know of a couple riders that are currently have 15,000 - 20,000 miles on their bikes.
your battery isnt going to just go bad and stop working. the number of charge cycyles a battery is rated for just means that it should keep full capacity for that many charge cycles. if you have 8k miles on the bike then you probably have around 8k am of charrge cycle which would be around 200 charge cycles. its very likely your battery is still perfoming close to the level it was at new. once you pass the rated charge cycles the overall capacity of the battery will start to break down. suppose you were able to go 40 miles on a charge with that battarey new. in the year after you exceed the rated charge cycles you might only get 38 miles of range from the same battery. 2 years after maybe you only get 32 miles of range. the battery doesnt just die. i have an 8 year old HEAVILY USED electric skatebord here that could go 25 miles on a charge when i got it but now im happy when it goes 18 miles. its just natural battery wear. the way you maintain a battery can also have an effect on this and improper maintenance can spped up this process. if your battery is going to be stored without use for more than a couple of weeks, you want the charge level around 40% to 50%. other than that your battery likes to be kept as fully charged as possible when using it.
Yeah man it would totally work, just pop it on the charger when you get there. I ride mine to work almost everyday, my morning commute has been much more enjoyable! Just remember to bring a jacket for the ride home at night, I’ve been caught without one and it gets freezing when your moving fast lol
After you do it a couple times, you can take the battery out in under 30 seconds. Honestly the hardest part is getting that charging cable through the hole in the front. If you're charging the battery separately from the bike then there's no need to take all that time sticking the XLR connector through the hole. Just leave it stowed inside the battery compartment area. That'll save you a ton of time and headache when removing your battery and it'll keep your connector cleaner and more protected.
Jeff, is Onyx relaunching on the 23rd??! Just saw a cryptic post on the Instagram channel
Thank you, great video. Finally ordered my RCR today!!!! Just wanted to share that with someone.

Whats the wait time to get it shipped right now?
Not sure. I placed my order on Nov 7, as of today Nov 20 it still hasn't shipped yet.@@KungKimbo
@@gregbullington891 it will probably ship around late Jan. / Feb.
I guess I'll quit checking my email 3 times a day then😆 @@Jeffrigerator
@@gregbullington891have you gotten it yet ? I just order mine but after seeing all these people wait months I don’t have months to wait for lol
Thanks for this! My chain has gotten really loose lately and I was just going to ignore it. Checking my rear wheel lugs now.
Very useful video. I can’t wait for my RCR to get here
I ordered July 3rd still nothing
Got an email from Onyx today. My bike comes next week Thursday.
@@ridgerich79did u get it they outta business now
@@LexyTheEbikeQueen I was very lucky. My bike came in the last batch before everything sent down hill.
How do you think itll hold in the snow? Battery taken out after riding of course
I'm 6'3 will the standard version work for me? asking since I'm in the market to buy one??
They outta business don’t lose ur money
I'm 5'7". Should I get the "shorty" or the standard? Also have they fixed or upgraded some of the issues from the first production?

Can you charge the battery when its removed or only when inside the bike?
You can remove the battery and charge it wherever you want.
Great Vid hommie… keep em coming… 🙌💯💪
Onyx is a scam. They stole $5000 from me. I paid for an rcr in september and never got it. Now they are ghosting me and wont give me my money back.
why not include a cap for the charging cable?
Can give me that app name on a android phone to controll the battery meter please 🙏

Ok, that gives me some hope then

Thanks another for the response Waldo.
I have a 2020 Onyx RcR, My battery cuts off at around 69.4 Volts. Any explanation?
could be a balance thing. Best hit up the facebook groups or ONYX website for better help.
Dope Jeff. Thanks
Solid work Jeff! 💪🏿😎🖖🏿
Anybody on here know how I can findthe front wheel for the RCR online?
Anyone know of a good insurance company for the onyx RCR? Thank you
40 miles a day with hill will it work?
in normal mode but not in sport... well not if you ride like me.
It will work if you're not going too crazy.
I was just checking it's 20 miles to work in 20 mi to you know back home and I can charge at work
Because somebody just stole my other e-bike cut the chain and I'm looking for a new one
Yeah man it would totally work, just pop it on the charger when you get there. I ride mine to work almost everyday, my morning commute has been much more enjoyable! Just remember to bring a jacket for the ride home at night, I’ve been caught without one and it gets freezing when your moving fast lol
Sucks that battery is a pain to get in and out... For people who have to live in the cold you can't leave the he battery outside
After you do it a couple times, you can take the battery out in under 30 seconds. Honestly the hardest part is getting that charging cable through the hole in the front. If you're charging the battery separately from the bike then there's no need to take all that time sticking the XLR connector through the hole.

I’m gonna get the GT 20 bike
💯
