    NEW 72v ebike coming to that channel in 1-2 weeks! 🤙
    This 72v electric bike runs on a high discharge battery paired up to a BAC4000 controller tuned to force 12,000w into a mid drive motor. The current setup is 137 lbs of unhinged pure adrenaline. It's risky, but this is about the most fun you can have on two wheels.
    This high power machine started from a Sur Ron which is very similar to the new Talaria Sting R MX4 - but this one is amped up quite a bit more. Only a few parts remain from the original bike, such as the frame, the motor, the wheels, and the rear suspension. If you're thinking about upgrading a Talaria Sting R MX4 or a Surron you may find inspiration and room for improvement in this build.

      The point is that the ebike can do thar most motorcycles and cars can't.
      But now people are crying for it to become ANOTHER motorcycle.
      When it's not. No cars or motorcycles can take trails or paths not normally taken.
      You can literally get off and walk with it to get off the saddle and stretch and it wouldn't look out of place. Can't do that on a motorcycle or car.
      Cars or motrocyles Can't take narrow trails or multi use paths.
      Cars and motorcycles aren't as slim or as nimble and they take up much less space on the road.
      Ebikes even with throttle can be and do so much more.
      But turning it into another electric motorcycle literally neuters it.

      Sounds like a you problem. I've never seen or experienced any ebike rider do 40mph and up on a public trail.
      Just cause you have a bias towards them doesn't mean they have to stop using those trails or paths. It's public.
      In the end it come down to the rider. Personally I don't mind going slow. In fact I like going slow. Slow and controlled movements is just as fun.
      If I want to go fast I go on the road.

The ariel x-class 52v (on sale for $1800 right now) and a 5000w conversion kit (about $1000~), plus a second battery (varies) will get you up to around 62mph. This is just off the top of my head, I'm sure there's many other options for the x-class. Those tires arent very fat, either. So, I like it and I appreciate the contribution but I personally wouldn't ride it. And be careful in the city, always assure everyone is an idiot and that there are cops on every corner.

    I like how he calls the power modes " power assist" like you would on a power assist pedal bike. Unless you are waddling that thing around like a kids balance bike, those aren't " power assist" as they aren't assisting any effort. They are just power modes, same as you find on most modern motorcycles. Calling this thing an ebike is kinda a joke. A bycycle, by definition, has to be pedal driven. This guy has got the same "pedals" i have got on my Tenere 700. Accept i would call them foot pegs. These things are super cool, and i may buy one someday, but as both an avid cyclist and motorcycle rider, i think it's pretty obvious which direction these things lean.

      China has a liking to use bicycle brakes and suspension, although they make some great knockoff dirt bike brakes and forks and shocks that wouldn't add anymore to the cost. Not sure why Suron and Talaria use bicycle components. The Rawrr Mantis has bicycle brakes but they are a LOT better then our Talaria, not and day...still I think they need to just go to a dirt bike caliper, rotor and levers. Even the Apollo RFN aka Beta Expolrer uses bicycle components. It's an odd China thing, same with using 19" wheels...LOL

    My nephew's fried used to ride a 125cc scooter to work. A bit heavier than your bike, and nowhere near its level of performance.
    He fell over going round the corner to the road to his house. Sat looking up at the sky for a moment, had a look around, thought "oh, look... my shoe is on the road back there".
    His foot was still inside his shoe, severed at the ankle.
    I would hesitate to call you an idiot - you're an adult and you make your own choices. But the brakes on your $10,000 ebike are completely inadequate for something with its level of performance and you aren't wearing safety gear. A motorcycle boot (you ARE riding a motorbike, don't pretend it isn't one) has armour to protect you. No-one who knows how to ride a motorbike would ever ride one in shorts. That's really, really stupid.
    If you come off that thing at anywhere above 40mph, you will be very lucky if you end up in a wheelchair. People are fragile.
    Please think about this.

      However potential fines and payments are much less typically in usa than they would be in say many eu countries where you'd get retro-slapped for insurance, registration, type certifying, fines... and the cops lack training about whats actually legal or illegal too in usa.
      Goes for modified cars and such too in usa.

      @0ldGuy the brakes mount on a stand-off, and the forks on alot of bikes are hydroformed aluminum.

    Dude, 12 kW and ~55 kg, that's a serious motorbike. That's about the same power-to-weight ratio as the old Aprilia RS250 - a 250cc 2-stroke (so similar power to a 400c 4-stroke) - which was a very credible track-bike. The RS250 of course had a *pair* of 280mm discs, with 4-pot calipers on each (it did have more weight to stop - 136 kg or so, with proper racing pipes).

    • @PaulJakma

I love driving it though and most of the time, I cruise along at about 25-40 km/h. That's more than enough for normal driving.
