I have the Apollo version of the mototec. Two of them. They're awesome for trail riding. I walk it up really steep hills to save the battery. It will pull me around for 50 minutes on a trail or pavement and I'm 180 lbs. They're both stock but I would lilobe to see how they would be with the mototec 72v upgrade. I can put both of them in my dodge journey and take them all over with no trailer. Your video was exactly, exactly what I wanted to see. A vs and a mod. Great work.
i am inbetween getting this and eventually upgrading to the electro and co kit or getting a 72v battery for my razor rsf650 with the electro and co 5000w kit which i have a 48v right now
It is the stock 48 volt battery that we are running. It doesn’t use that much more battery with the mod, only if you are full throttle the whole time. My kids are not full throttle hardly ever because it is pretty quick and we ride a track and single track trails. It will get you 1.5to 2 hours depending on how hard the kids ride. And if it’s an adult it’s probably an hour of riding
It all depends on how hard you are riding it. Our 8 and 9 yr old kids rode it on and off for about 1.5 hrs and had a little juice left. Track riding will burn the battery faster. If you are interested in getting one.. We can sell you a brand new on and ship it to your house. Then you can add the mod to it .
Thanks for this video!! I’m stuck between the mx650 razor and the mototec for my son. So you guys bought the kit from electro without the battery right? You guys just used the stock battery I’m guessing?
@@michaelladuke7348 MX650 will break. Ours did on the first ride. Known defect where the sprocket breaks from the rear wheel. Only a 90 day warrantee with Razor. Ruined Christmas. Sad, it has been defected for a decade and they have done nothing to fix the issue.
We got it from Electric & Co and it came in their mod kit. electroandcompany.com/products/mototec-funbikes-to-etm-conversion-kit Looks like they use the ETM 48-72v controller
@@theencefamily oh gosh 600 dollars I thought it was just a controller but 3000 watts is crazy I’ll have to save my money because my parents ain’t gonna pay that😂
Their original kit didn’t come with a motor but they have since updated that and they send you a whole new motor with the kit. I have never clocked mileage but with kids riding it’s about an hour and a half to two hours depending on how hard the are riding.
There is a 36 volt mototec that is perfect for 7 year old but I think the 8 year old depending on if they are big or small for their age would be good on this 48volt 1600 w
To my knowledge there isn’t a wire like the surron that you can just cut to get more speed. We did a complete controller/throttle swap. Electro & co sells a kit for it.
We do.. but just locally. Are you around southern Utah? You can also buy directly from motoTecUSA and they ship to you. If you want to then add a mod to it it’s fairly easy
I tried to put the link in here but I’m not sure it’s working. So, if you go to their website and click on the three lines at the top left it drops down a selection then you need to go to the arrow that is next to shop and it drops down another selection and you select KITS then selected PIT BIKES then scroll down and their is a picture of a mototec. Select that picture and it will pull up the right kit
The electro and co kit comes with a whole new throttle and stuff in their kit but you can just cut the wires and wire your own throttle in. I have used a three wire throttle and it works fine.
We should have a video on it soon but here is my opinion summed up. If you are looking for a bigger bike then say the talaria or surron then for the money it is a pretty good option. It is very comparable to the surron ultra bee power and size. The transmission is fun to ride with at times and a pain at times but for a bigger frame person it would be a good option. I really like how nimble my surron is for throwing it around but it doesn’t handle the bumps as well as the 72 volt mototec did.
@@geemaileehmail my last order at 450 did come with a new motor. Electro and co told me that the mototec bike changed something which forced them to have to sell a motor that was compatible with their kit. And that is the reason for the increase.
@@blakeyoung168 I’ll have to do some testing on actual mileage. I’ve only ever timed it because we do track riding with it not trail. Are you wanting to know mileage with a kid on it or with an adult?
Sorry for the late response but it depends on the size of your kid. My 10 year old rides it and loves it and she is tall for her age so depending on the size of your kid it may or may not be a good bike for your 11 year old.
Thanks for this video! I literally was gonna buy the E2 today, but the dealer was closed. After watching this, Honda just lost a sale. Thank you!!
I've been waiting for a video like this scence for ever!
We were in the same boat! Thanks for watching! Hope it helped.
This was a great comparison video, got straight to the facts! Keep at it man 🙌🏽

Thanks, glad we could be of some help.
I see in your new videos you have Renthal bars on the mototec now! Which model of renthal bars worked for this bike? THANK YOU!!
I know you private messages me already but for others wondering, yea they are the renthal 110 pit bike bars.
That is one flat awesome dad!
Love it
Informative and fun thanks
Do you think you could do a tutorial on how to add a full hand throttle instead of a half throttle
Yes, the next time I mod one I will show how to do it more closely
i am inbetween getting this and eventually upgrading to the electro and co kit or getting a 72v battery for my razor rsf650 with the electro and co 5000w kit which i have a 48v right now
If you already have the razor I’d say upgrade that one to 72 volt. You will be cheaper
Is the throttle response smoother with the new controller? The original one is to snappy
Yeah.. it’s way smoother. World of difference 👏🏻
@@theencefamily thanks.kits on order for granddaughters mxr1300.sur_laria diaries
How many mile range can it go with the mod
I’ve never done a mile test but it lasts about 1.5 to 2 hours depending how hard the kids are riding
hey man does the full twist throttle come with the kit
Yep 👍🏻
nice...do you now how to upgrade the batterie range now? what kind of bat feat in this kind of bike? thx

good video, thanks!
So did the kit you get had a motor as well or was it just the controller you did? How many miles do you get on full charge or run time?
Their original kit didn’t come with a motor but they have since updated that and they send you a whole new motor with the kit. I have never clocked mileage but with kids riding it’s about an hour and a half to two hours depending on how hard the are riding.
How old are the kids ? Mine are 7 and 8 just wondering if this is the right size for them
The boys are 10 and 9 in this video. Our 7 year old daughter fits really well on this size.

Can I get a speed controller for any cheaper
working on a solution for this. will keep you updated if we figure it out.
Can you show how to cut speed limiter
To my knowledge there isn’t a wire like the surron that you can just cut to get more speed. We did a complete controller/throttle swap. Electro & co sells a kit for it.

Do you guys sell the motored bike?

Do you know how low you can lower the seat?
@@readytoride8152 There isn’t really a way to adjust the seat. They do sell a smaller tires that you can put on there to lower the whole bike down.

How do you change the throttle on the Mototec?
The electro and co kit comes with a whole new throttle and stuff in their kit but you can just cut the wires and wire your own throttle in. I have used a three wire throttle and it works fine.
is the mototec 72v a good bike or is should i get something else

How fast do they go with the los
With us full size adults. It did 36 mph
Do you have any broken electric bikes or scooters I could have?
We don’t sorry
when i go to electro and co its shows me like almost 1000 doollars for the contoller
can u help me out?
It should come out to $650 before taxes.
It was $450 when I made this video and they have increased price. Sorry
The one for 650 come with a new motor did your come with a motor when you payed 450?
@@geemaileehmail my last order at 450 did come with a new motor. Electro and co told me that the mototec bike changed something which forced them to have to sell a motor that was compatible with their kit. And that is the reason for the increase.
How many mototec bikes are you selling?
I can get as many as needed 😉
@@theencefamily ok!
what is the range before and after the controller?
For my 9 year old she could ride for an 1:45 minute to 2 hours. I didn’t test range. Sorry. The mod hasn’t seemed to change riding time much at all
was the mileage different with the new controller?
@@blakeyoung168 I haven’t noticed a difference. I’m sure it shortens the battery a little but not by much.

How fast do they go without the mod
They go 25 without the mod
What kit are you using
It’s an Electric & co mototec upgrade kit

How old are your kids?
How tall are you the dad with the hat
I’m 6’ and the other guys are about 5’10
How much did it cost to mod it
appears to be $500
The mod kit is like $650 plus the purchase price of the bike. Sorry for the late response
Ty
What the top speed stock
25 with an adult on it
So ur saying it’s worth it to buy my 11 yr
Sorry for the late response but it depends on the size of your kid. My 10 year old rides it and loves it and she is tall for her age so depending on the size of your kid it may or may not be a good bike for your 11 year old.
Buy your own FarDriver controller, save yourself like $300-400 versus Electro & Co.
I’ll have to check it out. Thanks for the tip.

The Honda e2 is overpriced. For sure
