You hit the nail on the head within the first minute of your video. As an aspiring rider, I've been mulling the decision between thus and the METACYCLE from all the way back in March. I'm kicking myself for missing the initial launch of the Anthem when I could've gotten it for under $8k. I appreciate the video.
Thanks so much for your comment and glad ti hear it helped you! It is very much appreciated. I hear you on the price update. I hope you can eventually get a ride of your own. 🍻
Thanks for the vid! Looking forward to your next. I've watched and read everything I can find on this bike. Made my reservation a few days ago in carbon grey. They hooked me with the modular build and open source code. Will be a fun bike to tinker with.
Very cool to hear! Congrats on your purchase! Yeah the sleek & modular design along with the adjustable seat did it for me. For local commuting, this will be a real fun bike for you as well. 💯
This is the one bike. I really wanna buy in next year. I might wait until the next version though so they perfect everything. Should have locking grips though. Small oversight.
Would love to see some riding or POV videos with you giving feedback on what it feels like between the modes and with regen etc. also would be cool to hear about real world range and how it’s been so far. Are you getting the rated range or is it exceeding your expectations if you drive like a commuter?
Hello!!! Thanks for your message. Yes, that is the plan for the POV videos and a review. I am using the Ryvid Anthem for local commuting and yes, it is exceeding my exceptions. I was being careful staying local while waiting for my insurance to be effective. Now that it is completed (finally!), I can thoroughly test out the range and the regen braking.
i live in an Apartment so i won't be able to leave this outside. Can you tell me if it's too big to fit in apartment? i live on 1st floor so that's a relief. but twisting down the hallway and turning to go into door...you think this is too big for that?
@@rhampton1914 hello!! The Ryvid Anthem or Ryvid Outset isn’t a large motorcycle. And I am not sure how much space you have in your apartment. But I personally don’t think it is worth taking the bike in and out of the apartment every time you want to use it. There may also be rules in your apartment not allowing the storing of vehicles and of courses neighbors who may complain.
@@edge2991 hello! I use both the front brake (right handle) and rear brake (right pedal) at the same time. The front brake provides most of the power when stopping. I press the rear brake with my front foot (not heel). The motorcycle isn’t super heavy so the brakes are very responsive.
@@edge2991 it’s not dangerous as the front brake provides most of the braking power. But I would recommend to get in the habit of using both brakes if possible (especially as a beginner rider, which I still am).
Another question, do you leave the battery charging and not care if it gets over charged or do you have to like keep constantly checking the battery charge atatus
Great question! Yes it would survive. The battery has 2 latches. It has a locking mechanism for the primary latch. So the primary latch won’t even budge/open if it is locked. Assuming it is unlocked, even after the primary latch is pulled you then need to pull the secondary latch to release the battery.
be great if you could do some riding vids of the Anthem, I am on the fence about getting one, still considering putting down $100 to reserve one for the spring, however I just don't have the money for one right now, even for that great price. The other part is that i would need to pay an additional grand to have it shipped to Minnesota.
Hello! Thanks for your message. If you check out some other videos on my channel, I posted some real world range tests and videos of the Ryvid Anthem. I hear you. It is an investment but in my opinion, worth it for the enjoyment you will get. Thanks.
Hello! That is a great question! Per their FAQ about it: "The Anthem can be operated in the rain, taking into consideration the battery’s water resistance rating of IP67 rating and the display’s rating of IP65."
Ty MrVixter! 🤙🏽🍻 appreciate it. Loved the walk through especially as you know, we like it in black. And my wife will not be riding with me either and I also am a hobbit 😂😂😂 #5footers 🤣
is it because the shooting angle or something else, why the front wheel looks considerably smaller than rear wheel? I thought it should be wise versa, the front suppose to be bigger than rear.
You are observant! I am not an expert on this at all but I would imagine b/c of maneuverability, weight distribution, & other factors that decision was made on the tire sizes from the engineers at Ryvid. The Ryvid Anthem Launch Edition comes with Pirelli Diablo Rosso IV street tires. Below are the sizes: Front tire: 120/70-17 Rear tire: 160/60-17
Hello! My insurance just went into effect so I will post a review about the real world range over the next week or so once I had a chance to test it out.
@@mr.vixter Congrats on the bike. I am a launch edition supporter as well, but ordered about a month after pre-orders went live. Still waiting on my atomic gold. I did share your video on the Reddit forms, so hopefully that helps with the views. Great quick video and overview of the bike. Really appreciate it! And a quick question about insurance. Been asking my broker if they have any companies that know of or are willing to ensure the Anthem and have not gotten a straight answer. Was wondering who you went with and what are your rates?
First off congrats on your purchase as well! And thanks so much for posting that video on the Ryvid subreddit. Much appreciated. I am going to post more once I have had a chance to ride it longer. I am in CA. For the big names, I had no issues with getting quotes from AAA, State Farm, & Geico. You need the VIN to start the process and get an accurate quote. The rates ranged from $55-75 a month for full/comprehensive.
@@mr.vixter Nice! That’s really reasonable. A lot of them had said “be prepared for sticker shock cuz it’s electric..” Thank for the reply! Already a subscriber, looking forward to the follow up vids. 🙌🏽
@@JessNavaG They said that? Yeah I think for electric motorcycles it shouldn't be too expensive. I am hoping you will be riding soon. I really appreciate the subscribe! Thank you! 🍻
Thanks! I have nothing against taller riders. lol The seat is adjustable from 30-34 inches so both short and tall people can enjoy! The only personalized customization if you wanted was the rear suspension pre-load setting, depending on carrying weight capacity. It can be modified post delivery.
Was debating on getting this for my wife, she is 5"3 do you think she can still be able to get her foot on the ground? The black color is really sick imo congrats on your bike!
Hello!!! Thanks so much for the message. I am happy with the color choice also. I am 5'6" and I have it on the lowest seat height setting (30"). My feet comfortably touch the ground, Depending on her leg length and if she wears motorcycle boots, that may work for her. I can say that the Ryvid Anthem is super easy to operate and I am enjoying the riding experience. For local commuting, I would highly recommend this.
Hello! In one of my other videos, I had some stats about the range in Eco/Sport mode. I am going to have another video coming that focused more on the range in Eco (default).
Hello! The introductory pricing ended a few weeks ago. The Ryvid Anthem is currently priced at $8,995. You just need $100 to reserve it and there should be a finance option.
For local commuting, it is worth the price in my opinion. And the Ryvid Anthem is designed for that type of riding experience. Yes, for long distance, you will need to plan accordingly.

Awesome to hear! They have a lot of cool things planned I am sure and the team at Ryvid are very receptive to feedback.
Man I wonder how much of a chore changing the back tire would be.
Lol. Hopefully it won’t be too bad!

the brake pedal do you press it with your heel or front foot and is it hard? also do you use it along with the front brake pedal thanks

@@mr.vixter is it dangerous to just use the front break by itself
@@edge2991 it’s not dangerous as the front brake provides most of the braking power. But I would recommend to get in the habit of using both brakes if possible (especially as a beginner rider, which I still am).
@@mr.vixter understood thank you for clarifying 🙏
Another question, do you leave the battery charging and not care if it gets over charged or do you have to like keep constantly checking the battery charge atatus
If you drop the bike you think with the battery where it is. Would it survive and remain connected if you drop it?
Great question! Yes it would survive. The battery has 2 latches. It has a locking mechanism for the primary latch. So the primary latch won’t even budge/open if it is locked. Assuming it is unlocked, even after the primary latch is pulled you then need to pull the secondary latch to release the battery.

Would a ride on wet roads not send a constant spray of water over the battery housing? Perhaps designed for dry days.
Hello! That is a great question! Per their FAQ about it: "The Anthem can be operated in the rain, taking into consideration the battery’s water resistance rating of IP67 rating and the display’s rating of IP65."
How fast does this bike go, how many miles from a single charge, and the price?
Hello! It goes over 75 MPH, about 65-70+ miles on a single charge, & current price is $8,995.
Ty MrVixter! 🤙🏽🍻 appreciate it. Loved the walk through especially as you know, we like it in black. And my wife will not be riding with me either and I also am a hobbit 😂😂😂 #5footers 🤣
Thanks for the kind words! From one Victor to another...long live the hobbit riders with our black steeds!!! lol 🍻
@mr.vixter hell yeah brotha! 🤙🏽🍻
Nice bike, bro😀.
Thank you! 🍻
I am 6 feet 2 inches is this bike ok for my height?
@@MrAlexis6383 with the adjustable seat, that would totally work for your height. 💯
Got mine in black too, I cant wait. May i ask what order number you are?
Congrats to you!! Great color choice! 😃 I had pre-ordered mine last year when the Ryvid Anthem was first available for pre-order.
is it because the shooting angle or something else, why the front wheel looks considerably smaller than rear wheel? I thought it should be wise versa, the front suppose to be bigger than rear.

Where are all the comfortable electric bikes for tall people with long legs at?
Hahaha. This is best of both worlds. For short kings and tall kings! 💥

How are you going to do a motorcycle video without any riding, or talking about the range?
Hello! In one of my other videos, I had some stats about the range in Eco/Sport mode. I am going to have another video coming that focused more on the range in Eco (default).
Hi, how much is for this bike? I’m interested in buying a electric bike as my first bike.
Hello! The introductory pricing ended a few weeks ago. The Ryvid Anthem is currently priced at $8,995. You just need $100 to reserve it and there should be a finance option.
@@mr.vixter Thanks for the prompt reply! Yes, I saw it on their website. I am reserving one :)
@@MayLinh_ASMR NP! You won't be disappointed. :) I plan to post a video review over the next week or so once I had a chance to ride it more.
@@mr.vixter I'm looking forward to watching your videos. Thanks for sharing your riding tips and techniques with us! :)
Price?
Initial price was $7800. Current price is $8995.
Yeah too bad $9k no thanks. At that kind of price I’d like to be able to get to my mom’s house at least before charging.
For local commuting, it is worth the price in my opinion. And the Ryvid Anthem is designed for that type of riding experience. Yes, for long distance, you will need to plan accordingly.
