$100/mo for insurance is insane. That's more than my 650cc dual sport...
Just got one was wondering how to get the back lights have the front lights
Im riding a street legal one around the uk. I didnt have to change the sprocket or anything to increase the top speed to get it registered. Its registered as an A1 class electric motorcycle which is anything over 4kw and under 11kw. This means you can ride it on a learners license as well as long as you complete a short course. Really really awesome bikes i particularly like the tech built into the battery as you can ride it in below freezing weather and you dont lose hardly any range.
$100 a month for insurance seems like a lot for an around-the-city range bike, it's in the same ballpark as an all-you-can-eat transit pass. So much of government seems like a racket.
It's about £50 a month for insurance on this Thing in the UK for me. It's not full comprehensive insurance though
I’m in love!!
This is perfect!!
I want sooooo bad !!
Looks so good also !!
Great video! Thank you
I'm glad to see there are some light electric motos in the canadian market. Now if we could just get some lane-filtering laws.
I believe that you would have been better off attaching paddles to it so you can use the bike lanes.
Does this bike have a label of compliance for Saskatchewan
It does not really come with any label of compliance. However, it has all of the right lights, brakes, mirrors and more to get it certified. We got it safety certified by a licenses motorcycle company in Ontario to get that label of compliance to be able to register and plate it. I'm sure the same can be done in any or at least most provinces.
@@epiccycles9 Did you happen to know the place where you had the safety inspection completed? I was hoping you guys could start selling/registering the new EGO mini bikes like the Caofen F80. They fit the definition of an LSM in British Columbia, but just don't come with a Canada Motor Vehicle Safety Standard (CMVSS) label.
if you don't want to pay insurance how much would it cost to plate a bike?
Under $1000, the street version is more or less ready to go. This price includes a safety licensing and registration.
So $1000 to get it on the road and no monthly fees after? If so I think I'm sold😅
@@escadrilleinsurance is yearly sir, that’s a grand yearly, because a regular motorcycle with m1 Costs about $4000 a year
It looks like this would be perfect to be sold as an LSM motorcycle. Like the SuperSoco motorcycles. It would be just like a 50cc scooter. No need for a motorcycle license for adults. Just car license. Technically you don't need insurance, but if you get one , you can insure just one side so you save money. Caofen could still offer an offroad mode to derestrict the speed in case you get off the road.
I think this bike would sell more as an LSM motocycle. People with motocycle license don't go for these types of bikes. They will get a proper motorcycle which can travel safely on the highway. The Caofen in the city, like a scooter, would be more appealing I think and would most likely sell more, since it would be accessible to more people.
Yes it’s possible to max it out at 70km by adding a larger sprocket. It will give the bike more torque but also slow it down to 70km
@@epiccycles9 Yes, but if it is not filed at Transport Canada as a limited speed motorcycle you cannot register it as such. I imagine that the manufacturer or the importer has to do it. SuperSoco and Tinbot/Kollter both sell the restricted and full speed version of some of their bikes.
LSMs need a motorcycle license and insurance in Canada, thats the law in the united states. Also its an offroad motorcycle, the majority of offroad motorcycles cant sustain highway speeds. Dual sport trail bikes 400cc and below are usually what people drive if they want a road legal dirt bike, and usually the motor will blow up if you ride it at highway speeds for extended periods of time. This is why dirt bikes are the only vehicle that are successfully being replaced with electric variants, because gas dirt bikes are barely highway worthy anyways.
@@Aimaiai Limited speed motorcycles (LSM) are restricted to 70 km/h. They have the same regulations as 50cc scooters or mopeds in Canada. You are not required to have a motorcycle license. You can ride with a car license if you are an adult or scooter license if you are at least 14 years old. They have to be registered, but insurance is not required by law, but obviously recommended.
I suggest you check Transport Canada website. All info is there for you to look up.
The Caofen F80 has a proper Vin number. The street version has indicators and mirrors so could easily be registered as an LSM if the manufacturer limits the speed to 70 km/h. To be admissible, they have to send papers to Transport Canada so that it can be approved and included in the LSM list.
Are you required to have a motorcycle license when purchasing that ebike?
Hello. No, you do not need a motorcycle license when purchasing an electric motorcycle. This one and only bike, Barry had modified and sent over to the MTO to get it registered as a Motorcycle. If you do the modifications and get it registered, you will need an M license in Canada.
I saw that the bike is on sale now. Do I have to pay more for the street legal? I’ve got my M2 license. Or 7599 includes the modified？
@@jasongao1352 HI Jason, there wouldn't be any additional fees for the bike itself. However, if you plan on registering it and have it plated there will be some expenses such as getting the bike certified. To certify it, we would need to modify and increase the top speed of the bike from 85km to 100km. We can get the speed up for you for an additional $250. Other expenses to expect if you want to legally ride it on the streets is the registration and insurance. Registration is about $100 or so and insurance is roughly $100 - $130 per month.
So you guys get the plate for me? Or I have to register it by myself? Btw could I got the full name of the bike that I can asking for my insurance company about the insurance fee, and is there any chance that I can take a look at this bike? Thanks@@epiccycles9
So sound like Talaria Sting can be legalized also...
Yes
@@JudeTheTH-camPoopersubscribe no... I was trying to register it. No Vehicle Information Sheet provided by dealership, so no registration.
@@armyca I got mine registered here in the UK but it came from talaria with all the paperwork needed. Registered as a moped with the 28mph limiter then managed to cut the wire and ride it at full speed as my license let's me do so. Different systems for different countries I guess. I'm getting the bike in the video and that will come from the dealer already fully registered I just have to buy insurance.
@@armyca In the UK you can get the sting r road registered direct from the dealer so it might be worth looking into that bike instead.
@@freedomofmotionyeah, but im in Canada😂
