So minus the battery issue, which won’t be an issue moving forward, it’s looking like the new MX5 is currently, gonna be the new Top Dawg e-motos in this price range. Better acceleration ✅ Better suspension ✅ Better gearbox ✅ Better brakes ✅ Better seat ✅
I'm curious to see a range test between the MX4, the MX5 and the pro SS. My 30 mile loops on the pro SS leave me with between 35 and 45% depending on the outdoor temp and my riding mood that day. That's with a pretty solid mix of ~15 miles asphalt, ~15 miles dirt and gravel, being a 185 pound rider . A 50 AH battery that was LifePO4, on a 160lbs bike would have been a pretty slick move. Idk why any of these companies don't offer LifePO4 batteries. Especially after those people got burned in the elevator with an e-bike battery. And now the guy who had to pull his new bike over because of a lithium fire between his legs. I get that it's the business model to slowly release the "next best thing" that's slightly better in order to drive profit margins. But the battery tech is there, safety-wise, with LifePO4 that they could at least offer it as an upgrade option. Also, your bro prolly ain't giving an honest weight. His answer sounded like a question; "210?" Lol
I think they don't use LifeP04 batteries because of the weight. They are significantly heavier than lithium ion. When I'm on my E-Ride and my friend is on his MX4, his battery drains noticeably faster than than mine. I would bet its a 5-10 mile difference if we did a full range test.
I just have to add about the Talaria MX4s with SCUD Batterys. It might have been my comment you saw. It was not ordered from aliexpress or anything similar. It was bought really expensive, road-legal from one of the biggest physical motorcycle-stores in Sweden. And from what ive heard the SCUD batteries are common in MX4s especially in northern europe. They are probably not more dangerous than any other battery. Just some exceptionally rare catastrophic failure for some reason i would belive.
yeah this scud is getting all the hate lol im sure they built it right. It just went into Thermal runaway, I still think it was a bad samsung cell. samsung is good at that.
Bikes keep getting better and better. I still haven't pulled the trigger on one. Very curious on the eride pro ss next release I am hesitant on buying due to the range on these. I want minimum 50 miles
“HOBO” My father found it important enough to explain to me the difference between a hobo and a bum when I was about 10 years old. You see, when I was growing up, we went to Nashville, Tennessee a lot, where my dad would often be playing music and we would encounter bums and hobos and everything on the streets at night in downtown Nashville. There was always this one homeless fellow that my dad would tip 20 or $30 too, and in return, the guy would make me a balloon animal of my choice. On one of those occasions, as we were walking away from the Man, my dad told me to remember, that there’s a big difference between a hobo and a mom. He said that a bum will beg for money, but like the man who made me the balloon animal which I was holding, a hobo will at least work for their money, by providing something of value.
@@shootthechit well those seem like respectable enough folks I guess! I’ve often said, that a poor person is ignorant to remain in a part of the country which they dislike, when they could just as well be poor anywhere they choose! So they might as well put forth the effort to move to a more preferable part of the country, where they can be poor somewhere nice!
Does the MX5 coast downhill with no "regenerative" brake resistance? I'm curious about whether the thumb control, when fully open, has zero "regenerative" braking. It doesn't seem like there's any way to fully disable it on the e-ride. The switch positions seem to do nothing. I like having it on through turns and downhills off-road, but it would be nice to have it off entirely during long downhill stretches on paved road. Feels weird having to throttle going downhill.
You can also adjust the settings for the always on regenerative braking between levels 1-4. I don't think there is an "off" setting, but 1 to me feels like its off. I leave it on 1 all the time, as I don't like the always on setting. I think the E-Ride just has a lot of resistance with the chain and all that, so there is always a drag on it.
@@shootthechit I think there's something else going on. I can coast downhill on a scary 280-300lbs CARBON EMISSION bike and not feel that weird resistance. We tested coasting downhill on all three modes on the e-ride and didn't measure any difference in speed. So that makes me wonder if that resistance is there no matter what. Is the throttle always fighting it, even uphill? These are the questions that chit heads have. Is "regenerative" braking truly off on the MX5 as well? The world may never know.
@@Ken-r4d I wonder if your regen switch is broken on the E-ride. I can definitely tell a difference on mine between the 3. Maybe see if can trace the wire and verify its plugged in. I know it wont engage if you're above 90%
Totally random, but where did you get that screen grab of the 'wasted' logo (@2:52). That's from a movie I directed in the late 80s. Or at least it looks exactly like it.
I liked - so now I gotta comment: Im 6'4" 230lbs n yeah that mx looks good to me. that regen thing just for the braking is enough for me to know. the amount it regens (?) not my priority to know that - just for some holdback on a downhill is enough for me. my ebikes are free willie down the hills - :O range (?) well might be better for me as I ride back roads and really 20 mph is fine with me. if only it didnt cost more than a dirt bike -
@@shootthechit its crazy how fast talaria is making changes we want to see. I bought the mx3 and a year later the mx4 comes put then another year and we have the mx5. Surrons been basically the same since they came out they fell off
Great video. It's okay, your dumpster juice pallet just needs some work. Some have hints of raccoon, while some are full-bodied with a maggot, earthy finish.
Out of.all.these style bikes. Just tell me which 1 to buy under 5k. I aint smart enough to figure it out. Just want to have fun b4 death. What do you all think. I'm more concerned about reliability. And it working every time then trying to squeeze everything out of 1 of these. Thanks guys
@@dasshape00 thats how they get people. Rawr mantis x is a 3000 dollar bike and it's 72v so everyone who doesn't know anything thinks it's great. But it's only 6.5kw so it's not faster than the 60v bikes it's juts sounds good on paper. Also the rawr can't be upgraded theirs no aftermarket for it. Talaria sting is constantly improving I own the mx3 a year later they made the mx4 and now they have the mx5 same bike but better brakes battery motor more power better suspension. It's the cream of the crop right now. And everything is available aftermarket for it if you ever want to make some changes or upgrades.
@@shootthechit Thanks, trying to gauge how spicy this might make the cops in southwestern Washington. And how much it might kill me to take it up and down my stairs, too. I may go for a smaller bike (like the xxx) for a stealth/quality of life thing.

@@realkidcarter tis not a myth look it up. Same goes with any device. You say these stock batteries stop charging at 80% and don't let it die below 20%? I don't think so
@@Jace_1445 keeping a battery's charge between 20% and 80% can help extend its life. Charging a battery to its maximum capacity can stress the battery cells and decrease its overall health.

Watch a million videos trying to decide what to get. Not a single person talks about charge times ....its almost like every YT channel is just making advertisements not reviews
@Sammy31Dee I mentioned charge times. 3 hours for the MX5 , 4 for the Eride. 3 hours charge time is super nice. I like the eride but at this point the MX5 is a better bike and cheaper
