Nice little channel. In my 40s and just about to get into motorbikes (wanted one for a long time!) as I'm fed up with public-transport. And as a maintenance engineer, will look forward to learning all about these motors. Good informative vid this one, cheers.
Yr the man RB i watch all yr test rides use to av a titan smashing little scooter got a NMAX na n I'm having alot O trouble wi vibration on floor boards n up front just wondering if u can help mate cos my local garage don't know what it is sounds awful aswell
@@RevBombUK Apparently they are looking to give e-bikes bigger motors but not up the speed limit to 20mph. Hand throttles are still a no-no for off the shelf bikes. But apparently you can individual bikes type approved one at a time and have a hand throttle! Not an e-biker. More an observer of bonkers legislation. And it is a travesty that modern 50cc are limited to 30. Look how far engines have come since the 70s. I know think a 45mph limit is not only reasonable but requirement for safety.
I sort of agree, I had a 50cc gilera skp that was unrestricted and would do about 50 on the flat and redline downhill at about 58. I did a CBT where I was just renewing mine, the instructor asked me to ride a 50cc back from some carpark he'd left it in, I was stunned how slow it was laughing out loud is that it?? Problem is if a 16 year old with no experience had full power 50cc they are likely to end up dead. Even a pedal bike is dangerous. Simple answer, you want more speed, do the appropriate training and get the licence. 👍😎
no they don't. I used to do type approval before ebikes. It's not "bonkers" to have an IVA for a throttle - it was a fix put in to allow people with disabilities access. A throttle on a bicycle makes it a motorbike. There is no need to up the power, unless you buy cheap garbage the 250w standard is fine. If we dip out of European standards we will get no product that meets ours. When the UK was 200w nobody made them - we went without. The 45kph standard applies to all L6's (including quads and quadricycles) and because of the reduced speed less onerous type approval is required, going faster means the L7 standard test. The dangerous "dog poo" they sell on amazon is bad enough as it is....
Great video Rev, can’t believe I missed this upload and great bike 🏍 Ask you probably tell my channel got a new logo and name will be getting changed for its third final time lol 😅 Also rlly thinking about this Keeway KsK125, saw one of your old vidoe from couple years ago on it. 👍🤙 Also was nice joining in the live earlier and hearing you all chat away 😊

@@waynewilks4919 get it in to a good bike garage
Will do mate thanks for ya help n advise much appreciated 👍
I wanted the LXR years ago when I first done my CBT but I was a bit too big for one.
Lxs is smaller
@@RevBombUK I'm 6ft2 and 15 stone. My wife told me I looked like Donkey Kong on the back of it lol. I ended up with an old CBF 125 which I loved.
I have said more than a few times here than the whole 50cc / e-bike licencing and power bands needs a complete overhaul.
Well said
