Great review! By the way, just a suggestion, in order for us to hear you better during your talking parts, I suggest purchasing a clip on mic, something like a Rode Wireless Go with the Rode Lavalier Go. Awesome presentation. Cheers!
At first I thought, "geez, a 25 minute video? Surely an honest review wouldn't necessitate that much time" and now 25 minutes later I have to say thank you so much for your insight, your quality video editing and narration, and how well you depicted the moped as a "frankenstein" as you call it. I don't know that I'll get one, but this review has been the greatest resource for getting to know this brand and this bike that I've found to date.
I received mine January 2019 and I love it and will never sell. The speed the price and what you get is amazing. Totally worth it. There is a few minor flaws like the wood covering and the loud annoying chirp of the alarm system but overall I am very impressed. I did not know about the 60v to 80v thankyou for explaining that.
@@ducks1928 Battery is still like new. I have 600 miles on it. I had to replace the bracket for the brake caliper. The original bracket was aluminium the new one I got is solid steel. Other than that no maintenance.
so great. I ordered mine may 3rd, counting the days. your charge point install is brilliant - I have a tesla as well, I like the idea of them charging side by side haha
matthew daniel Siskin I just made a video tutorial showing the charge port install should you want to do it yourself: th-cam.com/video/EJTJ3PSWaAI/w-d-xo.html

We purchased this Vivi 27.5” electric bike and a Tentaquil 26” electric bike for our 13 and 14 year olds. th-cam.com/users/postUgkxUiL0GnyDjP32RJdd660sP8mZk4CRLTCJ The Vivi was much easier to put together. With the Vivi, there was a video link to assist with assembly which made the process easier to follow (we did put the handlebars on upside down, but it was a quick and easy fix). With the Tentaquil, the assembly was not as simple to follow, but after we messaged the company for an assembly video, it was easier and they did respond quickly. The other major differences were that the Vivi has a grip throttle on the right handle (like a motorcycle) and the Tentaquil has a push throttle that you use your thumb to activate. The monitors were also different, so if you’re looking for something specific in terms of changing the bikes functions, pay attention to what the monitor offers. We were really impressed with the overall quality and functionality of both bikes, but if you’re looking for more power and an easier assembly, definitely go with the Vivi!
Great honest review. I'm a fellow michigander and ebike rider. I've been thinking about getting one of these rcr bikes as an alternative from a motorcycle. I love my Ariel rider x-class for my daily work commute but for those times when I might want more speed and range then the rcr would be a great fit. I hope to meet you on some of the group rides, be safe and have fun!
This was amazing👌😎❤️🤘. You killed this from beginning to end and threw a cherry on top just to top it off. Superb review. How many miles have you put on your onyx rcr cafe blaster?
I’m somewhere around 1300-2000 miles if I had to guess. The odometer isn’t the most accurate as it resets when the battery is disconnected so that is a rough estimate.
@@mirandys I wonder if someone has modded this with a "power outage" small battery install to keep the memory alive when the main battery is disconnected.
Hi there.. great video, thank you for this. I am ready to order an onyx and your video definitely helped a lot. My question is: could you share the extension for charging? Where to get and how to mount? That would be awesome.. thank you so much
Awesome review! Very thorough, and perfect as I'm in the same spot looking at a used one. I'm just a few miles up Woodward, and feel the same vibes on aesthetics and sweet spot - I'll reach out if I pull the trigger on it!
Hi Randy, thank you for the video. Just received my rcr and was wondering where you got your headlight grill. Definitely the best looking grill I’ve seen. Thanks in advance
Sadly Michigan changed the requirements for a moped limiting them to 30 MPH. This is the main reason I ordered an e-bike. I started looking at electric motorcycles and mopeds last year but decided to go with an e-bike to avoid registration. I live in a smaller town and do not have a motorcycle endorsement. Since class 3 e-bikes can go up to 28 MPH I talk myself into one. If the old definition still applied I might have gone with this moped. It sounds a lot like what I was looking for a year ago!
Hey Miranda! This is a great review of the Onyx! We met awhile back through Alanna when you let us film in your living room for Ash & Erie lol. I have a modified Super73 and I think Alanna has a Juiced? We should do an ebike video collab one day!
omg the weight on that e-bike... and i was complaining about my 70lb e-bike... but honestly, that look fun to ride, but def no street legal in NJ i don't think
Ive had my rcr for about 2 years now and you did a great "normal person review" of the bike. Thank you very much, normal person. kidding..of course. Few things though: (1) can you do a separate video showing how you replaced the rear shock? (2) how are you not able to break 50mph? is that from a full charge? (3) check out huck cycles, love to know your thoughts.
How could anyone dislike this?? Must be onyx fan boys. I love honest reviews like this. It’s not fair to not talk about issues like this (ie many Mate x 750 reviews wouldn’t touch on the many issues).
Those birds gave an excellent review of that bike. You should redo this video because I can't hear anything you're saying. Im not hating either. I want this bike. I really want to hear your review on it before I get excited though
I think it's a cool bike just too heavy for me. I live on the 2nd floor in the city and I dont know if I could lift 150 pounds up there. Otherwise really tempting.
What if you put a larger and brighter set of tail/brake light and turn signals on the back and sides of your rear basket? I got rear-ended (in my car when stopped at a red light) by a truck the other day. That extra lighting higher up and out on your rear basket could give an oncoming vehicle just enough extra reaction time to avoid hitting you. Especially since people text and drive these days.
Great Onyx bike review and I have already placed an order for one before watching your video and everyone’s common complaint is the battery cover, so could you leave a link or designate the brand and store your purchased the battery extension cable
Randy S: I am embarrassed to say but I don’t really watch or use TH-cam a lot and I increased the video size and scrolled to the both of all the replies and I never saw a link to the battery extension cord. What am I doing wrong such that I don’t see your posted link?
I like to revisit Onyx videos once in a while to check in. Do you still use yours since the company closed down? Ive put 12k miles on mine since i last commented 2yrs ago.
Saul J. Guznay just added the eBay link for the extension. I personally don’t recommend these mirrors after using them, they’re cheap and low quality, so I won’t be sharing the link.
Hi I was trying to find out from u my rcr is going to come with the standard rack but the bag and extension for the bag to rest on is much bigger than the Standard rack for
Hopefully, the price on these bikes continues to come down. You can get a Honda Navi in the US for 2k brand new and can go around the same speed as this bike. I love electric vehicles and own high powered electric scooters but the cost of some of these bikes are outrageous compared to gas counterparts.
General rule of thumb - never buy 1st generation tech Wait at least until the 3rd iteration is released Think I’ll go with the super73 RX for now or maybe not as the E-Motorbike space is developing at a rapid clip. I’m expecting new developments in 2021
Amazing review, best I’ve seen so far. I’m considering this bike for my NYC commute. Question regarding the weight, do you think this bike would be too cumbersome to get into a second floor apartment using a stairwell?
Everyday? Yeah I’d say it’s waaaay to cumbersome. Once a season and you have a friend to help? That’s doable. I’ve seen one guy on the RCR MODS Facebook group that carries his up and down a flight of stairs and had a good method of doing so, but I know he had to remove the rear rack to do it, as basically you are carrying the bike up leaning back on the back wheel only with the front wheel in the air like on a dolly. That’s the only way I could envision you doing it regularly. It’s a heavy ass bike. I put mine in the basement over the winter to do some mods indoors and it was a total bitch to move with 2 people. No way you could do it alone safely.
I’d say your better bet it to get two really good locks and a cover or something for outdoor storage on a daily basis and maybe move it inside only seasonally. Unless you do the dolly method and don’t need the rear rack.
Great review. Wondering if you still have yours. I am seriously thinking of getting one. Would love to know if you recommend all these many months later.
Still have it. Still enjoy it. However, the current price is fairly high imo for a bike with the build quality issues I have seen. I purchased mine used and at about 50% less than what they cost new now, so while I don’t regret my purchase, I don’t know if I could justify current new pricing. With the Sondors MetaCycle coming out and Cake Bikes new lineup (like their Makka bike) it seems that better build quality at this price point is either already here or right around the corner
Question, Have you ridden the bike in the rain, or through puddles? How does it handle in the rain but more importantly do you get splashed really hard when going through water since you dont have fenders. Thanks!
there is, but given the risk of damage, it bouncing around against the metal frame, and its lack of protection from rain and snow, and also the aesthetics of a dumb ugly cord sticking out... I didn't find this solution to be a great long term option for me. But yes, you're absolutely right some users do push the cord out of the hole and I think ONYX may even ship them that way now... I simply don't trust that solution from a long term wear and tear perspective.
hello ! I was wondering I go the cable , but I cant figures out how to run it thru the hole in the back , neither end seems to fit thru ...am I missing something ? I got the Charging Cable-REAR MOUNT . any help appreciated , thanks in advance
Andres Barrios hi! So you don’t want to put it through the frame tube (you’re right it won’t fit there), you simply want to run it under the seat between the seat and the seat brackets that are shaped like two metal “U”s. Hope that makes sense. Let me know if not and I can try to explain it better. No need to take off the taillight or anything, I made that mistake myself the first time. You will need to remove the seat and wood cover but that’s all
I would have to take it up one flight of stairs to my apartment. Is this something that is doable? Is there anywhere you can grip it below the seat to roll it up the steps?
It’s definitely possible, the bike is larger than a traditional moped, but definitely smaller than a traditional motorcycle. I would recommend adding some thing like a buddy seat on top of the rear rack if you’re looking to carry a second rider. Those can be found on treatland.tv you will obviously want to pick up some pegs as well. If you do decide to order down the road, I have a $100 off ONYX referral code that you are welcome to use: rwrd.io/8yhry31

no need to detach the hub motor from the bike (no need for full disassembly)... you can get the spacer on by sliding the axel off the dropouts and then right back on.
No I don’t pedal when I ride it’s largely pointless the gear ratio is such that you can only really pedal at low speeds. I will ride in an empty bike lane for my own safety and separation from cars but I won’t ride if other bicycles are using that space. Never been bothered by cops but they do wave sometimes or give a thumbs up. Too heavy to carry upstairs on a regular basis and nearly impossible to do alone safely. I’ve seen some dolly the bike up or down on only 1 wheel and that looks easier but you have to remove the rear rack.
Damn i was saving up for a super73 but now.....😫😫 i want this. Few questions for anyone who may feel the need ro answer. 1. As someone who has not ridden an ebike before how would i go about testing one in the Dc, Maryland, North Virginia Area? 2. In normal mode the top speeds are 28mph? 3. Where are some places to look for used cheaper options? Thanks in advance
You could fit two people but there's a decent amount of people who make seats or longer seats for the RCR. Saul for NYC is one of the more popular choices.
cool bike, but honestly the aesthetics of the bike are where the Monday loses me. The proportions of the frame to the height of the battery and wheelbase is a little awkward and reminds me of a Tomos Targa a little too much. Looks like overall build quality might be better than ONYX, from images I've seen, but I like the speed, performance and aesthetics combo of the ONYX better.

From the ONYX RCR MODS group there is a user there who makes them and sells them on ebay

Hieu Can I just made a video tutorial showing the extension cable install under the seat and added it to my channel: th-cam.com/video/EJTJ3PSWaAI/w-d-xo.html
Awesome video again! I'm getting the rear motor phase wire spacer. How were you able to install it? Does it require removing the rear wheel? Thanks!!
no need to detach the hub motor from the bike (no need for full disassembly)... you can get the spacer on by sliding the axel off the dropouts and then right back on.
thanks birds
Ms what piece do you need? And for what part?
Do you pedal when you ride? Do you ride in the bike lane? Have police ever bothered you? Can you lift the bike up a set of stairs?
No I don’t pedal when I ride it’s largely pointless the gear ratio is such that you can only really pedal at low speeds. I will ride in an empty bike lane for my own safety and separation from cars but I won’t ride if other bicycles are using that space. Never been bothered by cops but they do wave sometimes or give a thumbs up. Too heavy to carry upstairs on a regular basis and nearly impossible to do alone safely. I’ve seen some dolly the bike up or down on only 1 wheel and that looks easier but you have to remove the rear rack.
Damn i was saving up for a super73 but now.....😫😫 i want this.
Few questions for anyone who may feel the need ro answer.
1. As someone who has not ridden an ebike before how would i go about testing one in the Dc, Maryland, North Virginia Area?
2. In normal mode the top speeds are 28mph?
3. Where are some places to look for used cheaper options?
Thanks in advance
Disregard #3 just saw it on the video
ECO 20mph, NORMAL 35-38mph, Sport 55 or so.
Is there 2 person seat
You could fit two people but there's a decent amount of people who make seats or longer seats for the RCR. Saul for NYC is one of the more popular choices.
I think you would of liked the Monday motorbike gen 7 too
cool bike, but honestly the aesthetics of the bike are where the Monday loses me. The proportions of the frame to the height of the battery and wheelbase is a little awkward and reminds me of a Tomos Targa a little too much. Looks like overall build quality might be better than ONYX, from images I've seen, but I like the speed, performance and aesthetics combo of the ONYX better.
Try cafe racer mudguards.. Great review
