Great video. The fact you can remove both batteries to charge, opens up the possibility of battery swap stations. Meaning you could increase your options regarding an extended journey with virtually no charge waiting time
If you could get a network going between Maeving riders, and display your location and charged battery availability, who knows? You could time a journey to coincide with fully charged batteries elsewhere and swap yours out. And vice versa. Obviously pay them the cost of charging the batteries. Just an idea
Loved the detail in the video - plenty to help anyone making a shortlist of bikes to ride/buy. For me I loved the shade of the blue colour, and I'd go for a 2nd battery using the money saved by not being tempted by the very nice looking mud guards!
Thanks for watching and commenting. It was another one of my long videos, but as you mention I try and provide detail for the questions people may ask. Alot to like about this bike.
I guess the in hub motor must have performed better than a one centrally located with a belt? You said the ride was good so maybe simplicity won over unsprung weight.
It did perform well, but I think its also the simplicity aspect you mention. No belt or chain means less maintenance, less parts to go wrong and less production costs.
Very nice city bike. Thanks for the great video. Do you know when these EV's are going to make it to the US? I hope that by next year they come out with the RM1 Max with 6hp and top speed of 60 mph. That would be perfect in the present chassis. The potential to mount a J1772 charger would be the icing on the cake. Sondors was thinking about having it as an option. Thanks again.
No idea I am afraid, I think they are currently focused on meeting UK orders and getting themselves established, but hopefully open to other countries in the future. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good review, I like it but here in Yorkshire 45mph is not fast enough for getting between villages. Although I do understand that 45mph is a good max speed for preserving battery charge and going faster would drastically reduce range I think even another 10mph would make it safer. I wonder what the €150 service includes , is it just checking everything or does that include parts such as brake pads, having ridden DIY ebike conversions I can say there is virtually nothing to do unless you are the sort of rider that cannot do basic things like keeping it clean and oil / grease where needed occasionally.
My understanding is the service is a general inspection to make sure everything is tight, lubed, etc, and plugged in for software checks, updates etc. I think we all think service costs for everything is more than it should be, but its just part of the business model for these things.
@@SpectrumGeeks agreed, I guess it's fair enough if they are actually checking every nut and bolt and checking for any problems in the design etc. It's the price you pay for buying new and having the warantee. I'm fairly handy and can check things etc myself but this isnt what most people are like.
I hate the idea of the brake setup, rear brake is for fine control especially in when slippery. I would prefer left lever to be regen braking which would act like a rear brake with anti locking.
The idea of the brake setup did seem odd to me also, however in reality it actually did seem to work very well, and never resulted in flustered braking.
@@SpectrumGeeks did you get any emergency situations though? The clutch being replaced with a brake lever could certainly lead to confusion but I suppose our brains are adaptable. I remember coming off my first motor bike on the very first ride within 10 mins because I came from push bikes , lorry cut me up forcing emergency braking, I pulled both levers as per a push bike but also opened throttle full, realised it was all wrong and panicked letting go of everything , the power dumped into the back wheel spun it out and bike went down.
@@FlyingFun. Semi emergency situation when approaching a junction, but no issues. I think the natural approach to pull in the clutch when breaking means you will brake sufficiently. However, like you say "we" adapt.
@@SpectrumGeeks uses and I easily go between riding motorbikes and push bikes withno issues now, it was literally my first time ever on a motorbike and I should have ridden around a car park first. However I do think regen braking is being used poorly in many designs atm with it often being on throttle, the best use of energy is simply to coast and only use the brakes ( or regen braking ) when it's actually needed so the most economical setting would be no regen on throttle at all and just have the regen braking on the brake ( cars could just be regen only with light braking and use actual brakes if braking harder ) bikes have seperste brakes so rear brake could directly control the regen which is on the back wheel anyway and could be modulated by the rider, not worth trying to regen the front wheel really unless it a 2 wheel drive.
This is specific to the rider, age, experience, mileage, where the bike is stored etc, so not something I cover in the reviews. Best to do an online quote based on your information.
I wish they sold this bike in the u.s.
It would be perfect for my 15 minute commuter.
I believe they are now starting to sell in the USA.
One of the most detailed review on this motorbike ! Cheers mate
Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment.
This is a perfect review for the Maeving. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
@@SpectrumGeeks I’ll be buying one.

Yeah that would be a great option, wonder what the investment would be.

That’s going to be a 60 mph/100 mile range bike at some point soon and that would interest me.
Ditto, little more grunt and it will be a great little EV motorcycle

Looks amazing great Quality video 👍

Is it April the first again ?
Everyday
Insurance costs?

45 mph is a piss take for the price. Horwin cr6 does around 60mph and around 80 miles range too.
The Horwin cr6 is good for sure, but personally prefer the Maeving looks.
Its good to have options.
35 mph means 50 in the States. It looks nice, but the low speed’s a problem.
Not sure I follow, 35 mph is 35 mph. We use MPH in the UK same as USA, no KPH like in Europe.
Pretty but very underpowered.
Yeah, hopefully a future version will have more grunt.
