I've never realy looked at electric bikes enough to know anything about them, so thanks for that it opened my eyes just enough to start getting curiouse about them.
I have ridden the Energica Esse Esse 9 and it is an amazing bike. Handling is very well balanced. Yes they take a while to charge but that is from 0% to 100% so charge before it’s empty and for a shorter period. In other words just keep it topped up. It is very seldom you would be needing the full range. If you need longer trips then perhaps a different bike more suitable for your needs is required. However see Marc Travels Chanel where he is riding the world on a Zero and you will realise that big miles are possible on an electric motorcycle. It’s just a different mindset.
Hi Ian.. As I said in the vid you need to know the bike ..Matt from the shop did mention about topping up which kind of makes sense I guess …The German guy on the Zero stayed at a hotel just up the road from me earlier in his travels..He bought that bike second hand I think.. Haven’t followed him to be honest as I’m not particularly really interested .. I’m old school with an open mind.. If it’s got two wheels I’ll give it a go.. A chap wrote in the comments that if he had to ride an EV he’d give up riding… Well there’s dedication for you 😆Hilarious.. I’d be quite happy to ride an EV motorcycle alongside my ICE bikes … Thanks for the tips and thanks for watching the vlog 👍ATB
Glad I'm of an age where I'll be finished with motorcycle riding by the time these things take over, not convinced they will though, they leave me cold. No one able to hear you coming would be one of my concerns and living with range worries on a tour and having to wait to charge up would just ruin any enjoyment for me. On a positive note though I do enjoy your channel 👍
High Chris.. Glad you enjoy the channel.. Hot subject EV’s ..Got to give everything a go though I reckon..They’re not the answer for sure ..Lots of other ice tech out there at the moment synth fuels and stuff being developed.. Ill thought out knee jerk reaction by governments in committing to EV.. If you look at the bigger picture they’re not very environmentally friendly..As a road test on a motorcycle though, I quite liked it..Amazing instant torque..Take care bud 👍
Hi James..I enjoyed the Zero.. Only problem is the range of the bike is only around 100 miles with a two hour charge time..There’s just not enough room for more batteries unlike the cars….Thanks for watching… Really enjoying your videos bye the way 👍
@@DickieMintCycles Thank you Richard I have a R1 1999 haven't bothered with getting it back on the road -I have lost my mojo at the present time for motorcycling -I don't know if it will ever come back ?
I like key switches 😄.. I know your paying for the tech on these bikes as the running gear is pretty middle of the road..I liked it though…Shame about range 👍
Hi there and another good honest opinion on this modern technology from someone who has had many years of experience. I totally agree with you that you have to try for yourself before you can make unjustified comments. We all enjoy riding many types of bikes , it's all about selecting the right tool for the job ! 😊😊😊
Hey, Dickie. Very interesting to watch that. I am an open-minded person and to be quite frank, they are good-looking bikes, with plenty of torque. Would be great if they could figure out how to charge the battery while on the go because you`d be sick of tea by the end of your journey. Just have to persuade, Sandy and the crew to buy one now. 😁
Good video and yes I would have one mainly because that's all those half wits that run the country will allow us to have in a decades time... but I'm keeping my r1150rs....
Half Witts they most definitely are Malc.... Can’t see it working.. Synthetic fuels are already developed..weather they let us have the stuff is another story.. They’ve committed to the EV..
I thoroughly enjoyed this video. My only reservations about Electric motorcycles is price and range. Ideally I would want 100 miles range, 80 mph cruising speed and 3k price tag, in a large scooter format, as I’m getting a bit old for sports bikes. Keep up with the interesting content! 😊
Must be odd. Got their place. Definitely the way for single occupancy commuting in, my opinion. Marc travels has certainly shown what is possible with living with an electric bike.
If there was an affordable electric bike with over 100 miles of range I'd have one too, but there isn't yet. As you identified the range is dictated by the battery size and weight, so until batteries with higher energy density become available electric bikes won't be practical for long rides or if you live in the countryside, we're still a few years away from that. The problem of charging past 80% can be overcome with LiFePO batteries but I think they're heavier. Electric bikes are also too quiet to be ridden in the countryside without having a system for generating sound that can be heard by cyclists (as you found out), walkers and wildlife, especially larger animals that could easily kill a bike rider. This is easily fixed and should be fitted as standard to all electric vehicles, I know they have a system that operates at slow speeds but that's only relevant in town. For the moment I have an e-bike that allows me to legally ride around the trails in Scotland, has a range of 50-60 miles and doesn't cost a fortune. Yes the country is run by half-wits, crooks and traitors. Yes I think there is a plan to restrict our freedom of movement, hence the increasing restrictions on personal transport along with the diminishing and increasingly expensive public transport system. Cheers, Mick
Hit the nail on the head Mick with all you've said...I also have an e-bike and i think they're great plus very practical...Thats where the EV is making progress at the moment...👍
Good review Dickie and very similar thoughts to me when I rode the same model last year. ( similar thoughts on out leaders too 😂) I was impressed by the performance and thought it was quite good fun to ride. However , as it is it’s a bit of a one trick pony, only really useable as a Sunday morning bike or a couple of hour buzz around the lanes. The problem is, for a lot less than 20k there’s many bikes that would do that and a lot more besides. As an aside, we have met, I was on the Himalayan odyssey weekend with you.
Hi .. That was a few years ago now.. Really enjoyed that weekend.. Totally agree with you regarding the Zero.. It’s a crying shame EV bikes just can’t get a reasonable range..Going to try some smaller ones next and see if they make more sense…Nice to hear from you and thanks for watching my stuff…Take care 👍ATB
This is the second video I’ve watched of yours and I was wondering if there was such a thing as an electric motorbike, and here we are 🙂👍🏼 But I’d want it to carry camping gear and be able to take the battery out and charge it anywhere fairly quick. Ah, you just said a couple of hours to charge. How long to charge at home? Sorry, I probably need to do some research myself and not bother you with all these questions 🥴 OMG, £20,000? I might have to wait a bit for prices to drop… considerably. Maybe I should look at horse and cart instead 🤭 Thanks for taking us along with you for a look. Certainly options to consider for later perhaps anyway.
Hi... You can plug them into a domestic three pin house socket apparently... This will probably take 8 hours or so... Plug them in before you go to bed and they're be ready to go in the morning.. Fantastic for commuting to work etc.....They're not quite there yet regarding riding longer distances as far as I'm concerned, which is a shame..Horse and cart sounds great 😄....Battery range and price is the main issue with these bikes.. Your not bothering me asking questions ..I'm glad your finding some of my stuff interesting. Its always good to ask questions 😊👍
Great video dickie I had my doubts about electric bikes but I follow marc travels and seeing him on the zero changed my perception of them only I think he can get about 150 miles on his with a full vagaries correct me if I’m wrong but he is obviously well experienced now with the way to ride and use them to get the best out of them anyway love your channel can’t wait to see what else you get up to this year ride safe 👍👋
Really kind of you Nicholas.. Welcome onboard so to speak 😄.. Yep hopefully mix it up a little regarding the bike reviews .. Lot of other bike related stuff on the cards as well..Thanks for your support 👍ATB
Your the only person I know who rides one my friend…Known you for over 40 years in the bike world ..And your as real as they get.. Enjoy the Harley … Quickest one I’ve ever chased 😄👍
Well, as you were, I'm impressed too.. would I ever afford to buy one..! as likely as ever owning one. It's more than a small issue the distance and charge time.. if out with fellow E bike rides as an when whoever needed to charge or all needing to charge, if limited charge points , if 3 bikes to charge at 2 hours each.. If able to mention Adventure Bike TV.. (I have) that was their issue on a group test ride, timing went out the window, as to with the plans. Noticed was the charger point flap open, didn't look as if could be closed when charging and if out in the rain, unless there's drainage from the box it would fill with water..! think as an oversite.. as 'it never rain in California..' Like you've said it's alien no engine burble, lack of mechanical noise nor clutch/gears, I'd like a Neutral just in case carried away blipped the throttle standing in traffic, you did say opening and response was not immediate in eco mode. If anything the trade off is the torque and get up an go.. moves As.. Until the next, stay safe and take care. Dewi
As the Bike goes, it's a good un'.. realistically any vehicle has the Manufacture's claimed figures on consumption/range etc.. real world there's so many factors Speed, Loads, weather conditions list a few.. End is you'd find the capability of that vehicle KWPH/MPG/Range, I don't knew with the Himalaya, given the low fuel warning as too how much, how far nor how soon before the fuel runs out.. time would tell. Future we're sold is Electric.. Car's currently (no pun) are showing issues, maybe not all catch fire.. reports say sales are not what had been expected, if at all.. is it than Dog don't Hunt.. Environmentally electric has to be generated.. by what means, wind/solar alone..! Think we're hang out to dry.. rest of the World remains as normal. I'll close.. How's Mom. Y'all Stay safe.

Hey Dickie, Have you come across the RUclips channel Marc's Travels? He's in India at the moment, on a Zero, having travelled across Europe, Turkey, Iran, Pakistan etc. Makes interesting watching.
Hi Kevin… I watched a little bit when he was starting out in the UK.. He was just up the road from here at one point..Haven’t watched him since he left the UK 👍
@DickieMintCycles worth a watch as he's struggled with charging, especially in Pakistan. Still managed to get sorted eventually. Liked your review...very balanced
Very well balanced with weight low down.. You don’t really notice it until you flick the handlebars which you wouldn’t normally do.. It’s got a slow parking aid forward and reverse with a press of a button..👍
I think aswell you would be restricted on your route because you have to be within distance of a charger. So if you want to get away from traffic down country roads you may have to cut your ride short so you can travel to a charger , so you loose some freedom, not for me?
Eye opening trip out that Dickie. It's an interesting time we live in, a bit like the early days of petrol bikes in a way. Development will come and hopefully people will only judge once they have ridden an electric bike. After nearly 60 years riding bikes, Guzzis, big Suzukis, Triumphs and the rest I bought a step through 350cc maxi scooter. Well!! soon changed my ideas about scooters..a lot of folk will probably be the same about electric bikes. 👍
@DickieMintCycles I've got a Trek farley 5 fat bike, never needs charging as its pedal powered. Any electric transport is control. No lecky no travel 👍
Nice test but not for me, petrol is king in my world and diesel for my car. The whole EV thing is a con, Lithium is not green and most EVs will be scrap after about 10 years.
Just giving my view on the bike… Most sensible people know the truth regarding how green these EV’s actually are and look at the bigger picture.. Thanks for watching 👍
They’re costly yes..Wouldn’t describe them as being rubbish.. Don’t think they’re the answer either.. Let’s keep our fingers crossed with synthetic fuel development for the ice..Hopefully I’ll still be chugging around on my bikes in my lifetime.. Makes you wonder about the future of motorcycling for the kids.. They make it difficult and expensive to get your licence..Thanks for watching 👍ATB
Worth having a go on one though….Anything with two wheels,I’ll try..Once rode the iconic lambretta SX200 and frightened myself …Power and small wheels isn’t a good thing 😄👍
Thanks for the respons Dickie but a motorbike has to sound like a motorbike and not like a dynamo.Riding a elektrobike is like eating a good meal without a taste.I will stick to the oldschool type of bike because these bikes have character .Thanks for the video and ride safe.
Thanks for watching Lynda… I’m sure they’d appreciate your visit and interest.. Matts a really nice chap 👍
Great video Dickie! Thanks for visiting us and the other bikes are ready to go whenever you want! 👍🏻
Thank you Matt and the team for letting me ride your bike..Really enjoyed my time with the Zero..👍 ATB
I've never realy looked at electric bikes enough to know anything about them, so thanks for that it opened my eyes just enough to start getting curiouse about them.
Same here Simon..Worth having a go on one so you can form your own opinion on them ..👍
Very enjoyable video it's nice to see yourself enjoying your motorcycling as i had to give it up so that's why i enjoy your videos
Thanks Craig.. That’s a lovely comment..👍
Interesting review Dickie and very in depth... Here's a thought, I love the sound of a petrol engine😉👍
Me too 😄👍
Very interesting Dickie. I'm a shortie and found the electric bikes too tall but will pop over to J&M. Thanks 😊
I’m sure they’d be more than happy to show around Lynda.. Really nice people..Thanks for watching 🙂
Nice one, Dickie. My buddy has a Zero and loves it. 👍🙂

Very good review, unfortunately as you pointed out the range and the price is the biggest issues for me.
Yep , Tiz a shame that…Apparently you can manage the range with top up charging and changing the way you plan your journeys…Bit of a faff for me 🙂👍
One of the most advanced motorcycles in the world and still using a key to start it 🤔
