I just did 22 miles today of hard and fast riding and got 22 miles down to 20%. Mostly street at 45-55 mph but some really soft sand and river rock areas. Pretty damn impressed!!
Great test. Jives with my ~300 miles ridden on 2 brand new Sting R MX4 bikes. I installed a Renthal non O-ring chain on both of them but otherwise they have stock power trains. I ride a mix of roads and trails, a few technical single track sections, a few short hill climbs. I try to use the brakes as little as possible, using regen instead (always on level 4). I use Sport mode exclusively and I ride pretty fast most of the time. My average speed is typically about 28 MPH. For reference I'm just over 200 lbs with gear and 5'10" tall. I get about 40 miles from a full battery. Max speed is around 55 MPH. It's enough for me to get around town and enjoy myself. I'm usually done before the bike is 🙂
@@2909dkthere are some with pedal kits, but its more to get by legalities than to be useful for pedaling. These things are way more powerful than a standard ebike
For SURE! 45lbs makes a massive difference with ebikes. No reason you couldn't get 50 miles riding like in this video. Which is actually super impressive when you think about the range the old surrons got back in 2018-2020
@ 160ish, I live in New England so there are lots of hills too. Def worth the purchase, plenty of trails to rip. Forgot to mention I keep it on regen level 2, there are 4 levels.
That’s just fine. I just bought one. I’m happy with that milage. Dirt riding in sport mode should be good for at least 25 miles. More than enough for a nice trail ride. Extra batteries cost around $2,000.00 dollars.
my modded surron for woods riding(ktm 65 forks, 16" rear tire, and gummy tires and 60v 63ah battery) at same power level(8kw) only get a little over 20miles. The dirt and climbing hills really kills range. Didnt do a whole test but just my wife riding gravel on the same setup at 15-20mph would get about 60miles.
@@Apezilla ya buts it's very inconvenient due to the weight and size, you will scratch up the interior. I ended up just buying a motorcycle carrier from harbor freight for like $130 and it's been perfect.
How did it feel for your height ? Thanks for mentioning elevation, so many test without that data .... weight, elevation, mileage, speed and time riding needs to be known for a proper test.
Electricity unit price times battery capacity. So here in the UK it would be about £0.72. electric is cheaper in the US so the running cost is so low you wouldn't ever notice.
I know you know this but for the love of your battery don't run it lower than 20% risk of fire is way greater when you go to charge or jump start a charge.
1:55 oh my gosh .. that stock seat has to go. I hope there’s a great seat that comes along and fixes that problem for all Talaria Sting R buyers and owners from all over the world. And whoever makes these glorious replacement seats deserves to sell millions and millions of them too! 🤣
For anyone thinking this is good range, it’s not bad. But if you actually run this bike to its potential, cut that number in half. I used about 70% battery on a Sur Ron to go 12 miles, quite a bit uphill. Averaging 30-40 the whole way. Going downhill home, I’d use probably 50% ripping full speed
What about a real world off road test? Every video I've seen about this bike is on pavement but it looks like it's meant to be a dirt bike. On trails you'd be doing a lot more braking and accelerating instead of just going a flat speed the whole time which would significantly affect battery usage. I feel like none of the advertised ranges are actually accurate for off road use.
Based on my experience with stoc surron with 50% less capacity I get about 15miles on stock power. My upgrade battery with 2x the capacity(60v 63ah) I get a little over 20 miles with 8kw(same power as this bike but it has 60v 45ah) so Id guess it would be right in the 15-20mile range offroad. My buddy riding trails in eco gets about 25-30miles but thats all flat ground. I have long videos of my rides and races if you want to see the terrain and speeds for my ranges
It can happen, there wont be any problems from draining it, the BMS protects the cells from going to low. What's really bad is storing them empty, this can pretty quickly degrade a battery. Just avoid going below 10% because it is unnecessary stress for the battery, but if it happens it should not be a problem.
Cut the brown wire to eliminate the speed limiter, if that’s what you mean by unlocking it and install the 2 included rubber battery bumpers to reduce battery rattle from movement during riding.
Yo i read somwhere when u get the bike ur suppose to charge it to 100% and than drain it to 0% for the first couple of rides, does any1 know if that is actually true? would appreciate it
My Surron Light Bee doesn't cut out at 1% it doesn't even cut out at 0% I never actually completely killed it, but I do have the Samsung 35E 38ah upgraded battery.
Hey I understand this is a weird way to go about this but could you send me a mx4 to review for my channel I understand I’m a very small channel but I would love to have the opportunity to review one even if I can keep it in the end
Is this as upgradable as the surron? That would be the selling point for me. I know the surron has tons of upgrade options and am wondering if the same goes for the talaria
Maybe not as much now, but they’ll have just as many parts very soon I bet. Many things like wheels, brakes, and forks can already be upgraded the same way.
Never seen someone do a range test and then let the bike sit overnight and then continue the rain stats the next day I don't feel you got an accurate reading
It goes 52MPH... hard to find anywhere legal to ride with pinned throttle at 52MPH for a range test. Plus, almost NOBODY rides with a pinned throttle in sport for a full ride.
the new R is not any better than the new surron, and the latter is significantly better because it is more agile in the terrain compared to this R.... that's my opinion, the only plus of the new R is that it's a bigger bike, but it's just a little bit smaller, so it doesn't have many advantages. surron It is much more refined there are many years of test development compared to this bike.

@@joshmaddux agree. They are totally different bikes. One like this would be cool for me so I could rip through my yard all weekend and nobody will care. If I took a weekend with friends on trails in the mountains I’d just get an extra battery. Swap out every 2hrs
There are a handful of expensive (by bicycle standards 🤣) e-bikes with 80~100mi range but if they sell well the market will become saturated with competitors and prices will drop. Aside from that prediction there may be a breakthrough with sodium ion batteries on the horizon.

40 miles at 30 mph is about a 1 hour 20 minutes of riding time. Does that sound right?
Only if you're going a steady 30 which most people don't. I'd say up to a couple hours if you're going average speeds or just cruising around.
I planning on ordering one off lunas website is it a real site I’m so scared I don’t wanna get scammed
Will there be any problem with the battery condition even if it is discharged to less than 10%?
It can happen, there wont be any problems from draining it, the BMS protects the cells from going to low.
What's really bad is storing them empty, this can pretty quickly degrade a battery.
Just avoid going below 10% because it is unnecessary stress for the battery, but if it happens it should not be a problem.

Mine comes tomorrow
It’s not gonna wreck my battery running it flat?
Nah but don't make a habit of it. I aim to not drop below 10%
