- Whether you’re purchasing an Onyx RCR or already have one, this video offers some advice and gives you an idea about owning and operating an Onyx Motorbikes RCR e-bike.
-------------------------------------------
DO I NEED A LICENSE?
In most states, the RCR does not require an additional motorcycle license. The bikes are limited to 750 watts, or equivalency of 125cc and 50cc, respectively, disqualifying them from being classified as motorcycles. We advise all riders to comply with state requirements and safety regulations.
HOW FAST ARE THE BIKES?
The RCR can reach a maximum speed of 60 mph. Riders can engage “economy mode” to limit the bike’s speed to 20 mph to achieve the maximum operating distance of 75 miles.
HOW DO I CHARGE IT?
The ONYX charger plugs into any standard wall outlet. You can directly charge your bike, or remove the bike’s batteries to charge separately. The RCR requires four hours, or less, to reach a full charge. Each battery lasts an estimated 800 to 1000 charges before it needs to be replaced, equating to 60,000 to 75,000 miles for the RCR.
HOW FAR CAN I GO?
The RCR can travel up to 75 miles on a single charge - if it is operated in Economy Mode while cruising at 20 mph on a bicycle path, with some pedaling.
WHAT DOES THE WARRANTY COVER?
Our warranty covers all manufacturing defects. We do not replace parts that undergo normal wear, such as tires, or cover damage due to misuse. We are happy to provide technical support for issues that occur outside of your warranty period.

Thank you for sharing valuable information about the onyx
Usually in every state one of the rules is if any ebike has pedals it's considered a bicycle no registration no license or no insurance at least that's how it is here in California
Good demonstration👀👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 other owners complain about those things👀 shutting off when writing👀 A lot of maintenance if Ri hard👀👀 there are over priced👀 you still haven’t sold me on it yet but good demonstration👀😜
I got my bike today and I'm not a experienced rider. This video does phenomenal hand holding that I needed and I wanted to thank you. Not only learning the bike but for the advice on how to get acclimated with riding. The tips are priceless and a life saver.
Glad to hear this, you’re welcome.
You explained everything with no BS. Thank you so much!! Thinking of getting this bike down in Florida
Awesome 💯
Thank you so much, this is probably the most detailed review in the areas I needed, such as the key fob and the braking
Thanks and you’re welcome
24 thousand wats :DDDD...ok
Awesome video. How do you get 24K watts?
Great video - very informative. Looking forward to ordering my RCR next week!
Cool, glad to hear this, you’re gonna like the Onyx RCR a lot 👌🏼
Best review video I’ve seen so far! You explain everything with details and no BS!! I’m looking to get an electric bike and this one I love 😁😎👍❤️
Thank you
@@JohnAngelnyc you’re welcome 🙂👍
GREAT VIDEO ... Your a much better at explaining than most on this bike. thnks
Glad you think so!
Very nice walkthrough, thank you for sharing! Lots of great tips.
As a quick follow up to this, I placed my order about a week ago and opted for the 23amh battery, figuring that if I needed the extra range, I could upgrade the battery later. Seems like you are giving the new battery two big thumbs up for reasons beyond the range (i.e. balancing). Do you happen to know how amenable Onyx is in terms of upgrading the battery mid-order? Thanks in advance for your time!
Congratulations on ordering your Onyx RCR. All the videos I've posted under "playlists" of riding around and group rides were done with the Onyx 23ah battery, I love the 23ah but the 41ah is a pro-level battery which I still haven't drained. I'm sure Onyx Motorbikes would be glad to make changes to your order also considering how recent it is.
Very nice bike and giving out the details thanks
You bet
I just ordered mine today!!!! Tell Eudes I said thank you!!!!
Will do!!
Great tips, awesome few for me personally I love the regen brake it’s always my go to .
Thank you bro 👌🏼
@@JohnAngelnyc opon buying the bike how long did it take to ship and receive?
I KNOW THIS GUY IN PERSON , I WANT HIS AUTOGRAPH! Great Video John
$509.32 per autograph 😉
How usable are the pedals? The bike is 150lbs so I'm curious how similar it feels to pedaling a standard bicycle
@@Vunsunta you guessed it right. Pedaling 150lbs is not similar to a standard bike.
I was so early I watched it in 360p. great video John
That’s awesome 😂
I"First off I'm 5"8" ME: I found the perfect video for me.
Excellent informative exclusive insider look at the evolutionary RCR onyx I would love to have done some messenger work in my city with this bike but that's too bad I couldn't because it'll be definitely a Target to get stolen considering I had several bikes stolen in in Manhattan. However I do recommend this lock on Amazon it's over $300 they claim it literally dulls the disc to a power grinder... I wonder if these come with a GPS I'm pretty sure they do also I'm hesitating to buy it because you have to literally wait four to three months that's way too long considering I am a bike fanatic I guess I might have to buy one on Amazon until I receive the legendary onyx
Can you explain the battery balance for the standard battery
Following. I’m curious as well.
Will do in the next video
Can't wait to get my RCR, it's at least 90 days out, I ordered the high capacity battery.
Awesome and congradulations. Check out this blog post on the new battery. johnangel.nyc/posts/onyx-rcr-41ah-battery/
Nice John 💯💯
💯
I didn't order my bike with the boots. I wish I did :( How difficult is it to add them yourself?
Great video. Simple, clean. Do you know which Lithium chemistry they use or the expected cycles? Charge rate seems low. .23 C.
NMC. Expect 700-800 charging to 84 volts at 5 amps. for the 23ah. About the same for the 41ah. Realistically some might see 600 cycles. If done at the right temps, conditions, treatment and at a lower charge amperage and say to just 82 volts then they will see more cycles.
240000w? How?
Tracing the solder, swapping mosfets, and other little details.
I'm 5'8" and I ordered the shorty. Now that I heard you mention if under 5'6" might want shorty. I have super 73 z1 and that height is great for me. I'm now thinking I need to contact Onyx and see if I can switch to standard height not shorty.
Congratulations on ordering your Onyx. I have method of knowing which size is right for you, it's at this blog post johnangel.nyc/posts/ordering-an-onyx-rcr/
Damn... you own both of my dream bike 😁
ayeee, mas!
Will do 😂
Hi, I’m about to buy a used one from market place. What do you need to register the bike and do you need a special license and how much would it be for insurance? Thanks
You want to check your state and locals laws. Most states and cities don’t require a license or insurance. I have Geico for $160 a year.
Hi there! Do you know if the V1 brake light is supposed to come on when braking? Thank you!
Yes, it should come on when braking from both levers.
@@JohnAngelnyc Awesome! Great to know thank you.
As soon as my bike arrives (hopefully within this month) Eye wanna talk to you about options for keeping the engine cool for all these hills here in Yonkers. And what tires are you rocking in this video? Or do you have a recommended street tired?
Sure, find me on Instagram at “johnangelnyc” and I’ll be glad to answer your questions.
I have a question regarding this
Sure, what would you like to know? And I’ve got some information on the Onyx RCR at johnangel.nyc/posts/ordering-an-onyx-rcr/
am considering buying the ONYX RCR shortly version I am 5'1 so would I have any issues riding the bike where if I had to stop a light or a stop sign and had to stand over the bike?
Yes, it should be fine. Searching “Onyx RCR Shorty” on TH-cam will show a great comparison video.
Awesome vid sir!! Would you recommend this over a used car lets say about 3-5k for a first daily? And how is the water resistance rating on this? Working student here in MD. Thanks!!
That is great question. The RCR handles water and rain just fine. As for comparing it to a car, I'd say that if you could see yourself biking to work and study with something more than pedal assist, then it's a good match.
Did I hear that right, you owned 4 Onyx bikes? What do you do for a living? Lol
Yes, that is correct. I've got a 12 year old IT company in NYC, LA, and Tampa, also a Law firm and other investments.
Great vid bro, I am looking to order one but idk if I should get the DRT kit or not. Iam looking to use it on roads but I might go off roading sometimes. What do you think is the best option🤔??
I would pass on the DRT kit. Get a Sur Ron for offroad.
When using Klarna will it cost more?
Yeah I checked it out yesterday they were charging like 1k more of the original price
You can find all the information on financing an Onyx RCR with Klarna at www.onyxmotorbikes.com/pages/klarna
Thinking of getting one. What are the rules/ laws around them in Massachusetts?
Onyx RCR riders in Massachusetts register it as a moped. They also insure it through Geico. I have insurance through Geico here in NYC for $160 a year. Massachusetts doesn't give you a plate, instead it's a yellow sticker you can place on the rear swing arm.
Are they faster than Honda Groms?
Thank You
Yes they are. Onyx rcr top speed is 60 mph on sport mode. Normal mode top speed is 45 mph and Groms top speed is around 50 to 53 mph
Yes they are.
Appreciate the insight…. Love the bike but not their customer service… long delayed replies…
You’re welcome
John, thats not true. You can not get around on NYC transit with this bike. Its 175 lbs you can not just lift this bike and walk up stairs with it. Its heavy AF.
145 pounds, gone through WTC, talked to the officers in the center of the Oculus and gotten off at Exchange place using the elevators at WTC and Exchange place.
@@JohnAngelnyc The Path train isn't technically NYC transit. Yeah you can travel on the path with it but try riding the A train to 59th st. and getting to the street level with it by yourself. Not happening bro. lol
@@bobbyatlas8088 There's' a disability map that shows all the NYC stations with elevators. You're right, no one is taking a 140-pound bike up and down transit stairs. I've tried it and it sucks. I've taken the Onyx on the N train from 42nd to Coney Island to save battery before I got the larger battery. And a couple of times I've gone from WTC to Exchange place in Jersey City. But for the most part, no one is taking the Onyx on the train unless they live in North Bronx which some friends up there have done to come to Manhattan. I've checked with the metro North about taking it up to Beacon. The fact of the matter is always to look up the laws and at best consult with a lawyer.
What’s the range on the new 41ah?
Don’t know yet, haven gone that far yet. It’s been hard to convince other Onyx customers with the 41ah battery to do a range test.
👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Cool
Great video. The price goes up around 1k with the new 41ah battery?
That is correct
@@JohnAngelnyc That would be over 5k basic model. With the 10 amp charger and Drt kit over 6k. Thanks
@@JohnAngelnyc Man over $6,000. Do you think is reasonable for the things you can do with the bike?
I more than do considering a Weeped SS electric scooter is $6,600 before shipping and taxes. I love electric scooters and lots of friends ride them. And yes, the Onyx RCR is worth it at $4,896.11 (price includes taxes and shipping) with the 23ah battery and 5 amps charger, which is what I used all year to run the group rides here in NYC.

Which helmet do you recommend ?
TSG Pass or the AGV K6
How do you adjust ride height suspension to SHRTY? Like what they offer on the website. Thanks in advance
I have those answers at johnangel.nyc/posts/ordering-an-onyx-rcr/
Subbed
I'm thinking of getting one but I don't have a drivers license. I read that this bike gets a lot of attention especially with cops
I haven’t heard it being a problem. I’ve been pulled over 6 times so far and they just wanted to talk about the bike. We’ve got a couple of officers that have their own and ride with us. Either way I recommend to check your state and municipalities laws.
Thank you so much for taking the time to thoroughly explain everything. Your advocacy and support for this community is much appreciated.
Word 💯
Dang I didn’t know you can get a e-bike insured!! 💪
Great video!!! I’m sold, simply based on your video!
That’s great. Glad this helps.
The bike goes 50+ miles will u get pull over ? I’m from queens just curious
I've got information on the current NYC laws at johnangel.nyc/posts/ordering-an-onyx-rcr/
@@JohnAngelnyc thanks bro
Anytime 👌🏼
*dominic decocco gif*
Yerr 💯
I wish they could ship this to hawaii😩😩
Fantastic video. Very informative. Thank you for all the info. I can't wait to get mine. Another Onyx in NYC..
Thanks and you’re welcome. When your Onyx arrives, look us up at this link to know when we’re riding in NYC t.me/johnangelrides
@@JohnAngelnyc Hey John, I most certainly will. Thank you again for getting back to me. I can't wait till mine is shipped. It will be a pleasure to ride with the Onyx team in NYC. One quick question if I would need certain maintenance for the bike changing brake pads and other things like mods, is there a place in NYC to go? One last question after purchase of the bike do you know what the actual wait time is and where is the drop off. I currently live in the Bronx.
New Video woot woot!
💯
How do you lock it up?
I've got some links on my blog post of locks that are commonly used johnangel.nyc/posts/onyx-rcr-links/
@@JohnAngelnyc thanks!
If I order in January 2021, this is the version I will receive correct? I believe I seen in some news letter they had updated the frame.
Yers, as of the last four months and going forward, all the orders will be the 1.5
Thanks. much Appreciate it
Any time!
