As others have said on your other vids with this bike, a 125cc equivelant would be ace, but would def need a little more range as well... which I guess would then make it heavier and less fun and also more expensive.... It does look very cool, I could easily commute on this, but I do have a 50mph stretch of road that would be quite intimidating at 28mph
This kind of bike seems like it would be right at home, where they do segway tours. I remember riding my Honda Zoomer like this, over any bank I could get it up. Bit of grass?! Fuck yeah, let's go!. Straight over the roundabout island... No, never... Loved that thing. . It only did ~30mph until it got derestricted. Also used to skid to knock it out of gear at the top of a really long straight here. I got it to 65 once. Gods that was scary.
Because they want it to be a 50cc equivalent, legally they are limited to 28mph. By doing this it can be ridden by 16yr olds on a cbt and more importantly for this bike older people with a car licence that allows them to ride a 50cc with no need for cbt.
I suppose we should address the elephant in the room.I see hundreds of these style of bikes in central London every day being ridden by the various food delivery companies.They just take the number plate off a ride them like a normal e bike.I was sitting at a set of lights in Chelsea last week next to a police area car and we both got smoked off the lights by some dude on a 72V Sur-Ron and the police did nothing lol.I mean the guy didn’t even have the pedal kit on it to make it kinda look like a legal e bike. Now I’m starting to wonder how long I could get away with having a 72V Sur-Ron for my local woods.
That is a growing issue and if history tells me anything as soon as it becomes a big problem they will crack down really hard or legislate and regulate to the point they are not so attractive. The laws that are in place now mean if you did ride one of the illegal ones and a cop decides today is your day. The repercussions of that would not be light, so is it really worth the risk? Not saying I agree with the current rules just they are there and they can use them.
@@spicy110 Agreed.I think they’ll start to do something after there’s a few deaths.I don’t know if you notice but those 2 crashes that have killed 3 young lads that’s been in the news lately where the police have been involved in a chase both from what I can see from the CCTV footage were on SurRon style bikes.
@@spicy110 do cbts teach you how to ride a bike in one lesson and then you go out on the same lesson and they say if you're fit for the road and you pass ur cbt? is that how it works, thank you
It is in the context of trying to push the limits of range. I think for many who would by this that is not going to be as much of an issue. Would be better for all though if it just said a %
the advantage of normal ebike over ubco, you can drive it on cycle lanes, the ubco looks more like ebike than motorbike, but people are idiots and i know lots of people that dont ride bikes in cities anymore because of the danger, and now with the congestion charges they simply dont go shopping in cities at all. so local shops/towns or just online shopping. if city cycling was safer, perhaps more people back in to suport physical shops. main problem with cyclists on the road is the lareg packs of cyclists, when they are serevral bikes wide, thats fine when you can overtake, but when they are several wide, and long with gaps in theres no time to overtake, this is a common problem and does cause car vs cyclist road rage.
@@spicy110 Because you would use less power. Perhaps it would need clutches or something so more expense. Or a larger motor aft and smaller helper motor up front. Just a thought. It is very interesting. It is becoming clearer to me that we need 50cc with a 40mph limit now. And the motor size for electric bikes upping to 1kw with hand throttles.
Should it be covered in plastic body work to make it less adaptable, more expensive and easier to damage? I think half its selling point is what you could do with it not how it looks.
Just to be clear these bikes starting price is £4500, This one is £5000 plus some add ons, like the luggage, racks and front flat rack.
I'm glad to hear these are selling well in Spain, as an Aotearoa person, makes me feel happy.
This bike seems to turn everywhere into a skate park 😊

That regen seems to work well 👍
This would be perfect for a courier or handy man in a city. Outside of that though, you're better off just having a pedal e-bike.

is there any way to increase speed on this bike ???
A hill? Haha no not as far as I know.
I really like that machine, can the front rack be removed?
Yes as it is an add on.
Given that it comes and goes, is the bar showing remaining range rather than remaining charge?
No, it says the battery next to it and has a half marker.
How big is the battery? 2.1 or 3.1
Why did they limit it to 27 not 30?

Where are you riding? Town, city country?
Portsdown hill area in Hampshire Uk

@@ThePrivateRusty yep you ride a 50mph bike illegally and crash it with no helmets, you just won a Darwin award.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
shame in oz this is classed a m bike coz no pedals
do i need to do a theory test? i am 17 now and i want to get a bike, do i have to do a theory test now?
No not if you just plan on doing the CBT for now.
@@spicy110 so i can ride with my cbt without doing a theory test? and then if i done my a2 at 19 thats when i would need to do it?
@@spicy110 also how much does a CBT cost?
Yes, you need theory for A1, A2, and full A, not CBT. cost is around £150-180 depending on the school and area.
@@spicy110 do cbts teach you how to ride a bike in one lesson and then you go out on the same lesson and they say if you're fit for the road and you pass ur cbt? is that how it works, thank you
The battery meter seems less than ideal.

It needs the ability to switch off a motor.
I get the idea, i though hmm can you do that. but then I though why would you? you will just work one motor to death before the other.
@@spicy110 Because you would use less power. Perhaps it would need clutches or something so more expense. Or a larger motor aft and smaller helper motor up front. Just a thought. It is very interesting.
It is becoming clearer to me that we need 50cc with a 40mph limit now. And the motor size for electric bikes upping to 1kw with hand throttles.
I bet you would use more as you would need more torque from one motor which means amps and that kills batts fast.
@@spicy110 Yes. 🙂
Looks like it been in a crash
Should it be covered in plastic body work to make it less adaptable, more expensive and easier to damage? I think half its selling point is what you could do with it not how it looks.
who the hell would buy that
The many people that do? They are sold all over the world.
@@spicy110 peddle bikes go faster ;)
I'm sure they do. What is your point, I'm reviewing this not them?
@@spicy110 why would anyone pay 6k for that. The real value should be £1500
