Test drove it for a couple parking lot laps at the dealer.

First impression;

started in Eco mode for one lap. Not close to enough jam for me to crack my wallet.

-Switch it to sport and the front tire comes up with ease from a start or rolling.

So opened wallet.

Eco mode was a beauty for dog walking!

What the performance compared to a dirt bike? These might be crazy fun! Can cruise on the bike lanes in town?

Do they require any kind of registration or insurance?
Grey area.

Guys slap 80cc 2 stokes onto their 10 speed a rip to the bottle depot! .


Then there’s onewheel, electric unicycle or scooter down ripping the streets at 60 kph, what’s the difference?

It silent so you’re gone before anyone even notices.

It’s a replacement for my pitbike not a Yz250! 🤘💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨🤘

Sport mode is pretty sweet. It’s got torque off the line. My 13 year old says it’s more jam than his Yz85. Gets going real quick then tapers down. I had it at 82 kph on its gage today.

The 2 power modes are pretty different from each other. Eco is real mild. Sport will pick up the front tire at low speeds no prob.

My middle boy (10) dumped it second throttle twist after we let him try sport. But it’s a bit tall for him. Bars twisted on the steering stem and I had to do the tire between the legs to align the steering thing. I will need to check if it’s all tight.

Was looking at a similar bike but from sondors. It’s called the metabeast x . Has 18kw of power and 60nm of torque. Supposed to have a top speed of 75mph. Was $6500usd for the pre order price and just shy of 80 mile range at 30mph average speed. Almost put a deposit on pre orders but decided not to, mostly due to our crappy dollar. They offer a less powerful option for $3500 cheaper but it seemed lacking on power in the specs at 6kw and 40nm and probably woulda got boring I was thinking. What’s the power rating in this one?

18 kw is a tonne! Be way cooler if you bought it.

Ya 6kw wouldn’t be enough! That’s what the surron is. Our mx4 (sting R) is 8 kw.

Lol definitely would be cooler, but I did the original pre order on sondors’ dual suspension e bike with 1000w mid drive a couple years ago or more and it took over a year and a half to get it, was almost a year longer than originally said. So that coupled with the dollar made me think that I’ll wait until the first batch ships and if people are liking them I’ll order one. But now seeing yours that looks interesting, 8kw may be enough to have some, and can buy locally which is cool. Hmmmm decisions lol

Speedo might be a little out. Bike would say a few km faster than the radar sign at the lake. I will need to check it on a gps.

Pretty sweet to be silent as you can roll through places you would get pitched forked on a dirtbike.

The brakes are squeaking though. Need to break them in some I guess.

Washed it up for the first time as it was dusty from 100 km+ gravel or off-road over the weekend.

That’s a Little bit different. I pulled the battery and begged the connector. But that looked like a well sealed connector. The electrical system looked decently sealed from what I have looked at. But there is a main breaker that I think water exposure should be nil or minimized as it does not look weatherproof to me! It is inside the battery hatch so it’s prob good if you don’t go nuts with the pressure washer.

Head light sucks. Shitty wide angle. Maybe 20’ distance.
