Mountain Bike owner.. Never rode or owned a dirtbike before.. Would you recommend this as a first time purchase + ride ?! I live in LA, and also plan on riding residential, latenight..
Yes, yes and yes. Easy to ride, selectable modes to ease you into it and it flows more like a mountain bike than a dirtbike with a clutch. Plus both brakes are on the handlebars. No shifter. It's more or less totally silent. DO NOT be temped to use mode 3 for some time until after you're use to it. Your ego will get you hurt. It makes a lot of power and speed very quickly and catches everyone off guard.
I want to do this can you send me a link for bits like engine (moter) and battery I need Iv got kx250 1990 preaty much everything part from engine Any info be great thanks 👍👍👍😜🦄🏴🎣😁🤞✌️

It's all coming back. Helps that I'm riding more than once a month now! I'll be a top competitor before long. Just shaking out some bad habits from the 90's 🤣
Shane McGuire well it is, sort of. I tow the bike to film most videos. And it appears in most, but here is the main tow video: th-cam.com/video/mCc90WH6RKo/w-d-xo.html
Im having hard to descide, EXC300, Excf 350/450 or Freeride E-XC 2020? Any opinion for enduro? I have had the 300 and I loved it but hated maintenance...the E-XC seems to be a great allrounder?
All three are totally different machines. If you can only have one bike, the Freeride probably isn't the bike... unless everywhere you ride is small spaces. If you have lots of really tight trails and no open sections or ride in your little backyard Backfourty and all that, the free ride is the bomb. The 350 might be kind of the best all arounder. I just sold my 350. I think I probably like the 450 a little bit better than the 350 personally. Not quite enough difference for me. That said I just bought a 250XC-F cecause it is a lot lighter and kind of the same power as the 350EXC was.
Not a chance! Sorry, that's my big beautiful girl. Should just go to Kiser. Unlikely you'll ever find one. He's even tried to buy mine back a few times 🤣 Was having troubles getting them. There's a few old style LC4 enduros that get passed around, but I've never seen a used 690E.
@@JohnHowerton137 I knew you would say that I was mostly kidding... Ill prob end up getting one from Cali and ship it out. Yea I know! I have been in Kiser a few times with no luck!
Well, I can say that we all do! Just isn't reality anymore. A damn 2020 85cc motocross bike is $6,500 now. The battery alone is like 30% of the price. These aren't half dead Duracell AAs from Costco 🤣 In Europe the bike is like 8k and you lease the battery(s) monthly.
I like the key solution you improvised. Smart.
I'd like to remake it in alum or stainless. Seems to be working well. Not it the way at all.
You mention taking off the lights and adding the front plate but which model plate fits?
Should be able to find everything here: th-cam.com/play/PLnlzppyagzePSMVsQVObcYUacFxvINPQW.html&si=72wh_gzQxIDLrtSJ

@@JohnHowerton137 COPY THAT !!! Thank you.
Watch more of the vids (I have lots). Any questions just drop a comment 🤙
You are the best! 🙂
Nice one bro,I’m actually working on making an electric dirt bike from a rm 125 frame.
I’ve seen a few conversions. Have fun! ✊

Does this bike have a reverse?
No
Is this not the video from the thumbnail? I was looking for the video with a dirtbike pulling another one on a trailer...?

If you explain the train in detail that you ride all the time, I can help make the decision. I've pretty much owned or ridden them all.
What start number plate will fit?
Front? 85SX. Most things I mention in my videos will be found in the descriptions.
@@JohnHowerton137 Front. For some reason the description didn't show up on my iPad, but I can see it now on PC.
what did you do with the cables when you removed the front light and replaced it with the number plate?
@@annettevangenwerness9858 the cables are held in a channel by the number plate, just like the headlight mask does.
@@JohnHowerton137 I ment the head light cables from the battery. Did you remove them?
Does this mean your 690 is for sale!? Looking for one here on the big isle...

Another great video. Which sprocket are you currently running on your rear wheel? 48 or 50?
Stock 48. The old e-SX used a 46T.
I just installed a 12T the other day which is sort of like running a 45T. That video drops on Weds I think.
Great informative video!
Awesome, wish they were not 10 grand though!

Nice. But I confess I click on the video too see the bike trailer. Kkkkk

HOW CHARGE ?
Plan on making a whole long video about that very soon. The short version is: 220v for about 80mins
