Says he almost looped it on the first wheelie, and I'm sitting he watching this with my leg up and on ice from doing just that.... Been riding motorcycles for 8 years lmao
everyone wrecks. on my Honda Africa twin i wrecked 30 seconds from my house and i forgot my jacket that day. took 12 hours and 2 hospitals to suture my arm back together
I've only got 7 miles on my R model Sting, but it's a game changer for this Sur Ron rider. One thing: it's MUCH quieter, not that the SR was noisy as such, but the the Sting R is incredibly quiet.
Man THANK YOU for posting this video. I have scanned and searched up down left and right for someone that has had motocross experience to ride and review this bike. You view of how the suspension setup in the end was something i had a hunch for and to be prepared for when i buy this. From one MX racer to another i like a chopper style suspension too bro haha
Thats awesome man, love to hear it lol! Yeah one thing I'm going to look into for that, instead of the wheelset I may go with a aftermarket triangle or linkage to hopefully sit the rear down some. Those seat kits look stupid to me and they dont change the geometry of the bike at all so pretty pointless. Gonna do my best with the clickers and psi on the stock suspension to get it feeling how we would want it... well see what kinda turd I can polish outta mountain bike suspension...
@@freerfixedit so between the time I commented last to now, i just ordered mine. LOL. Luna cycle had a few people cancel for there next shipment at the end of the month. So all in all ,im STOKEDDDDD And i may attempt the wheel approach, with 16 rear idea. And then have another street wheel set i can swap out. But Im very curious what you can dig out of the suspension as well. From what ive seen the linkage made a big deal with the surrons so id imagine its the same treatment with the talaria. But Looking forward to seeing something you from ya!
@@PhantasieGarage Yeah I completely forgot about the linkage and triangle option. Ill probably go that route before wheels. Stoked for you that you got one, youre gonna love it!
I wish Mike the best of luck with the shop. All communities should have reliable, trustworthy place to take their bikes, e-bikes and other PEVs Actually I wish you all prosperity and abundance ❤
Yo!!! Watching your video as a new talaria owner and you mentioned your from OBX. I am from Virginia Beach and we go down to OBX all the time! Love it down there!!! love the content! Keep it up
@@freerfixedit SweeT Dude, I have low tide hard pack sand on the beach in Ventura/Oxnard CAli. We go kiteboarding in places the LG's don't or won't patrol. Summer crowd buster. Also some restricted military areas, and a few questionable grey area private/public locations. There is one spot in Newbeury (sic) that ends up in Malibu-ish. Sherriff's are saying all day if you can pedal and bike propels. ( so no fakie pedals here.
Nice video! I could tell this was in NC while you were riding. It looks a lot like Carolina/Kure beach down in Wilmington where I live! I had a Surron back in 2020 and everyone thought it was insane! Get ready for everyone to talk to you about the bike lol. Surprisingly I never had any issues with cops or anything and I saw a bunch while riding. I sold my Surron after about 6 months to get a motorcycle because someone offered more than what I paid for the Surron and I regret it to this day... currently waiting on Luna to restock on the Talaria so I can place an order :D!
Love to hear that. Thank you! Hopefully they get them back in stock soon! And yeah so far everyone’s reaction has been awesome. I think you’ll enjoy it more than a stock Ron
@@beyourself4450 yeah unfortunately it does. It has a stink bug stance and it’s not good. There’s a seat mod you can do to correct the seat angle, and I’m waiting on a lowering linkage to come out before I do a wheel set
First charge went from 80% to 100% in around an hour I’d say. I just plugged it in over night so I’m not sure, but I’d guess it probly takes about 3-4 hours from dead to a full charge
I'm awaiting a delivery of the 2023 talaria sting r mx pro expert edition & it should be here 1 day next week I can't wait fir it to get here I have already got a new better seat & footpegs plus an upgraded grit shift Blinder bar light so got a couple of mods but nothing to take away from the look of the bike I'm also looking into getting indicators for it just to be seen on the road at night
Went to buy the Talaria Sting MX4 today but Luna Cycles is sold out and the preorders are sold out too. Hopefully in 2 weeks I can try again. Great video and enjoy
Thanks so much for the feedback, fingers crossed for you! Hope they get them back in stock soon and you can get one sooner rather than later! best of luck
im ordering mine this coming week... quick question how long did delivery take to your house and also where did you order her up from? I was gunna give my business to luna cycles, but wanted to get your opinion first.. lets get together try to set up an east coast meetup for these bikes I would love that
I was able to get one from the first batch lunacycle sent out. It was my first ebike purchase and lunacycle treated me real well. I placed my order on the april 2nd and it got here on the 13th. I'm all the way in NC though, lunas in cali
So I actually read on a forum that the rear shock is nitrogen filled, so I won't be messing with the psi on the rear. I will experiment with different psi on the front, and the suspension setup video will be out saturday night I'm hoping. My dog just had surgery and hes pretty out of it... just been taking care of him
I was lucky enough to get my hands on one of the first batch that lunacycle.com shipped out. From what I know they are shipping them out in batches and they are selling out very quickly!
New Subscriber! Awesome review and it's helping shape my decision for an e-bike here in Richmond, VA. I think the only way I can pull it off is to get a pedal conversion kit to make it look legit.
Anybody have any info for how well the talaria sting r does in the mountains? Or at high elevation? Like 7000-11000 feet. I'm looking into them for camping and hunting but nobody seems to have any videos I can find closer to what and where I'd be using it. Thanks in advance if anyone gets me some replies haha
Very nice. Go down there a few times a year and, yeah, you’d have no problem keeping up with traffic during the season just on eco mode. lol Also, you should get plenty of range with the terrain being so flat. I’d be worried about the cops down there, honestly. They look pretty bored. Interested in hearing if you encounter any issues with them in the future.
😂😂😂 you know all too well then about the traffic situation and the over population of police. So far so good. I haven’t had any run ins, and I have passed a few. I want to do a video where I ask local police what the ebike laws are. But for now I just be respectful and have my fun in safe places
Whats up bro great video, Mike said "This thing aint nothin but the truth". This makes me want to pull the trigger and get one. Btw im from dayton ohio and thats where the wright brothers are from! Peace bro
On the previous talaria you could unlock the speed with lever codes. I'm guessing you can't do that with this one. My max is 45 without cutting the wire so I'm unsure if the code worked or not.
I haven’t yet. I’ll report back once I do. I do know they check them at the factory and mark them with a blue marker. Every nut bolt has the line on it so you can see if they start to back out
I've removed a few of the fasteners and hardware at this point and I don't feel like they were overly tight... but I'd rather things be over tight than loose!
Ehh it will be fun while it lasts, cops will realise these are essentially 125 dirt bikes pretending to be E bikes eventually, then it will be licences, plates and no bike trails.
I’ve just been operating under the “don’t be a jacka$$” rules and haven’t been messed with yet. I have my fun, I just know where and when to do it. Gotta have a reason for them to mess with you, otherwise just be respectful and blend in. Maybe throw some imaginary pedals in there if you get nervous 😂
What is the pack called on your chest at the end? I've been looking for something like that for a while. Sick vid and can't wait to see the suspension vid 👍
Here's a link for it. Same one surronster uses, got it on amazon, little pricier than other option, but is high quality and I like it a lot. amzn.to/41uLdR2
Hey just wanted to check and see how wide of a rear tire does it come with and how wide of a rear tire do you think you can fit on it. Thinking about from my surron to this bike
The stock rims are 1.6 inch wide vs the surron 1.4. The swingarm is wider than the surron and measures ~ 5.25” between chain and brake side of swingarm. It looks like you could fit some pretty beefy tires, and if you go too big, you’ll scrub the chain
The front brake is still on the throttle side so that all feels normal, just have to get used to applying the back brake with the left hand lever instead...
@freerfixedit I suggest you link that video in a pinned comment or the description of this video. Every other unboxing I've watched skips the blocks as well
No issues so far… I just wear a helmet and follow the rules of the road. I made a fb group NC e bike riders if you can find it. Trying to grow the local community and plan some group rides in the future
@@freerfixedit hope you grow the community, i don’t have Facebook though. Left another question on one of your other vids about shipping. Thanks for the videos by the way.
I feel ya. I'm in Michigan so the laws on E bikes that go 50mph are iffy. I haven't even bought a Talaria yet and I am already mapping out escape routes. Cops are kind of dumb so if it looks like a bike, they think it;s a bike.
I bumped into a cop the other day and asked what the laws were for e bikes. He said wear a helmet, go with the direction of traffic, and follow the law. Pretty simple. Don’t give them a reason to stop you, they most likely won’t
Im noticing not many newer videos on these bikes..Im looking for one to Buy..Luna cycle's dont have these.Jot many web sites have any.that i trust anyway lol..But yeah.looking for a trusty place to buy one of these..idc if its a 2023
haha, same. First time I tried it, I used a ton of times the foot brake in the air :D Im was looking to put the first gear na dlooking for neutral as well when stopping as well :D
Dude, I go to the Outer Banks every every year I stay down in Frisco or Hatteras.. I’m looking at buying one how heavy are you? I’m worried about my weight. I’m 6”2 240.
Have you had any problem with LE when riding on the road and around town? I'm considering getting one and I'm in Raleigh NC. Also do you need to have insurance on it?
technically I think youre supposed to have a pedal kit... but I havent had any issues with them yet... Just dont give them a reason to stop you and so far so good... Ill keep you posted and plan to do a video where I go up to local police and ask them ebike laws... stay tuned
To me it seems like an electric motorcycle because it does not have pedals. I am curious about how it's classified for road use.Any insights be be much appreciated. Thanks.
Yeah… so far so good over here in nc. Out west I hear cops are cracking down and making people install pedal kits. My rule of thumb is don’t give them a reason to pull you, and they won’t. So far so good 🤞🏽
@@CREATIVESOLUTIONS23 but now that I have this, id rather ride this in the streets than a motorcycle. Idk how to describe it but the fun factor is unmatched
@@freerfixedit It's scary fast. I have it flashed [ cycle nuts out of Tampa] with a Akrapovic carbon exhaust. My one friend from Cali that races said it will easily do 170. of course I never had it that fast wink, wink, 🤪
Yo Im from Minnesota Anoka Halloweenie 👻 🎃 capitol of thee world 🌎 Baby! Your video helped me decide to get a Talaria! I think the MX4 I just left messages for Build e Bikes and Amped…. I was thinking maybe the Storm Bee. But then I couldnt sneek onto thee bike paths etc…. I want to take one on the HWY tho also to get up North from me. Anywhooooo Spanks!!!
Right… this is if you had to choose a bike and we’re going to be riding it stock for awhile. Everybody’s bike don’t go the same speed when they’re stock
@@freerfixedit I just ordered a sting r, gotta wait till late may but I’m sure talaria will be coming out with similar speed and aesthetic upgrades like surron did. It’s a brand new bike, everybody’s hating that there’s not many aftermarket parts but give it a year. Will be well worth it for sure.
@@Donotcareabyouropinion there’s already 72v kits and a lot of wheel options. Half of surron upgrades fit talaria as well. Give it till mid summer for talaria to catch up
Yes. I’ve seen there’s a button sequence that you can do now instead of cutting the wire. Haven’t confirmed it, but it’s supposed to be; turn the key on, hold start button for 6 seconds, pull the left brake lever 4 times, press start button 4 times. Let me know if this method works for you. Seems like a better option than cutting wires for most people
@freerfixedit I tried this and my max speed is 45 and it can't do wheelies. I'm only 140lbs maybe 150 with my gear. Maybe I'm just dumb and did it wrong though
Just got mine..no doubt it's powerful..but I'm suprised no one says much about the quality being pretty suspect with a lot of components..in a made in China kinda way. Hmm
what parts you talkin about? I'm pretty pleased with the quality... No issues from anything yet and almost at 1000 miles, I know what you mean tho, chinese pitbikes are junk and always break and have issues
@freerfixedit just everything in general from the packaging to the locks..keys..all the plastic just feels like it's gona disintegrate fast is this NMex sun. Not much quality anything these days. Fast and fun no doubt. Know anything of the quality of the batt cells? Couldn't find much
@@AW-yv9sq my brother is 6’4 and about same weight. I’d tell him to go for the ultra bee by surron. Yes it’s more expensive, but it just fits his frame better and would be more enjoyable to ride imo
Has the Police messed with you yet? Here in Florida we would not be able to ride everywhere, that's going to be classed as a straight up Motorcycle due to no pedals. Some places are pretty strict on the pedal or pegs thing I've heard. But crap I want one of those 👍
They haven’t messed with me yet and I’ve passed a few. I’ve just been being respectful, not speeding, and only having my fun in safe places. Basically, I feel like you have to give them a reason to mess with you
@@freerfixedit ok / now that’s impressive as I was figuring (conservative riding) that range would work out to 1/2 of the battery voltage? Whatever upgrades they did to that motor and magnets must be pretty darn good? And it sounds quite!
Do yourself a favor.. drain and replace the gear oil right now with quality synthetic.. then do it again at 100 miles.. I’m in Maine and have had mine for a year.. thinking about upgrading to the R but might wait a year.. see if we go to war.. if so might not want to give them anymore business
Thanks for the advice! I’ll do it sooner than later now. And hopefully the only war that goes on is between talaria and surron so these bikes keep getting better!

Can I talk you into making a video doing off road technical obstacles
with your Talaria ? Simple trials.
A lot of future video ideas have come from comments like this! let me know what youd like to see and ill definitely try to make it happen!
Hi Again, Like I said, simple "Trials". Trials is off road slower riding
going over obstacles, tight turns, steep terrain, not Motor Cross.
I feel ya. I'm in Michigan so the laws on E bikes that go 50mph are iffy. I haven't even bought a Talaria yet and I am already mapping out escape routes. Cops are kind of dumb so if it looks like a bike, they think it;s a bike.
I bumped into a cop the other day and asked what the laws were for e bikes. He said wear a helmet, go with the direction of traffic, and follow the law. Pretty simple. Don’t give them a reason to stop you, they most likely won’t
I love it. I want it!!!
So much fun!
Im noticing not many newer videos on these bikes..Im looking for one to Buy..Luna cycle's dont have these.Jot many web sites have any.that i trust anyway lol..But yeah.looking for a trusty place to buy one of these..idc if its a 2023
@@jonathonstanford6951 Luna should have them, they run sales for $4200 all the time. Just gotta catch them when they re stock
haha, same. First time I tried it, I used a ton of times the foot brake in the air :D Im was looking to put the first gear na dlooking for neutral as well when stopping as well :D
😂 definitely took some adjustment!
Dude, I go to the Outer Banks every every year I stay down in Frisco or Hatteras.. I’m looking at buying one how heavy are you? I’m worried about my weight. I’m 6”2 240.
That’s awesome! Hmu when you come down next. I’m 6’ 195.
@@freerfixedit that would be awesome. One more question. Where did you order yours from? I’m looking at amped bikes and Luna cycle
@@windowwasherfpv3485 Luna cycle, my experience with them was top notch 👌🏽
@@freerfixedit ok cool just making sure the site was legit
Have you had any problem with LE when riding on the road and around town? I'm considering getting one and I'm in Raleigh NC. Also do you need to have insurance on it?
technically I think youre supposed to have a pedal kit... but I havent had any issues with them yet... Just dont give them a reason to stop you and so far so good... Ill keep you posted and plan to do a video where I go up to local police and ask them ebike laws... stay tuned
Let’s set up a NC group ride. I’ve ridden a surron in Raleigh streets for a year no problem
@@gsmited69 I'm down for that. Which e-bike do you have by Chance?
@@gsmited69 that’s a good idea!
@@di9me2012 had a surron, talaria otw now
Nice video yes you may be the first one on the east I guess I'll be the second one New York 😂👍🏾👍🏾
Happy to hear it brother! cant wait to hear what you think about it! enjoy!
When you change the oil, can you make a vid out of it?
Yes sir I plan to make a how-to video on that soon. Already at about 50 miles...
Yee
To me it seems like an electric motorcycle because it does not have pedals. I am curious about how it's classified for road use.Any insights be be much appreciated. Thanks.
Yeah… so far so good over here in nc. Out west I hear cops are cracking down and making people install pedal kits. My rule of thumb is don’t give them a reason to pull you, and they won’t. So far so good 🤞🏽
@@freerfixedit Thanks for that. I live in Florida. Thinking about selling my Yamaha FZ09 and getting a Talaria to use for DoorDashing.
@@CREATIVESOLUTIONS23 how do you like the fz 09? I’ve wanted one since they came out
@@CREATIVESOLUTIONS23 but now that I have this, id rather ride this in the streets than a motorcycle. Idk how to describe it but the fun factor is unmatched
@@freerfixedit It's scary fast. I have it flashed [ cycle nuts out of Tampa] with a Akrapovic carbon exhaust. My one friend from Cali that races said it will easily do 170. of course I never had it that fast wink, wink, 🤪
Yo Im from Minnesota Anoka Halloweenie 👻 🎃 capitol of thee world 🌎 Baby! Your video helped me decide to get a Talaria! I think the MX4 I just left messages for Build e Bikes and Amped…. I was thinking maybe the Storm Bee. But then I couldnt sneek onto thee bike paths etc…. I want to take one on the HWY tho also to get up North from me. Anywhooooo Spanks!!!
Glad I could help, I think youll be happy with it, thats whats fun about these bikes, they blur the lines between ebike and motorcycle
Can I comment other E bike we would like for you too try out for us
you can, but unless you or someone is going to be sponsoring the bikes, I dont have the budget for that right now unfortunately...
The seat is very important, not just a tack on.
Did you go aftermarket? If so what’d you go with?
@@freerfixedit I ment all e bikes/seats suck.
It really doesn’t matter what bike you get if you plan to upgrade it anyway. Everybody’s bike with the upgrades go the same speed 😂
Right… this is if you had to choose a bike and we’re going to be riding it stock for awhile. Everybody’s bike don’t go the same speed when they’re stock
@@freerfixedit I just ordered a sting r, gotta wait till late may but I’m sure talaria will be coming out with similar speed and aesthetic upgrades like surron did. It’s a brand new bike, everybody’s hating that there’s not many aftermarket parts but give it a year. Will be well worth it for sure.
@@Donotcareabyouropinion there’s already 72v kits and a lot of wheel options. Half of surron upgrades fit talaria as well. Give it till mid summer for talaria to catch up
@@freerfixedit yessir, can't wait for mine to be delivered watching your vid only made me more excited haha
@@Donotcareabyouropinion hope it gets there soon!
does the drown wire open it up more. no governer? y cut it?
Yeah. Basically like eliminating the governor. Big difference!
what goggles are those looking to buy one and don't know anything about gear to wear or buy
amzn.to/41O9ZMp tons of different colors, comfortable and cheap
Where did you order this ?
lunacycle.com
The wire you cut at 2:09 was that to unlock the full power of the Talaria or something else?
Yes. I’ve seen there’s a button sequence that you can do now instead of cutting the wire. Haven’t confirmed it, but it’s supposed to be; turn the key on, hold start button for 6 seconds, pull the left brake lever 4 times, press start button 4 times. Let me know if this method works for you. Seems like a better option than cutting wires for most people
@@freerfixedit ok thanks, also vid was great can't wait for more as a subscriber now
@@alecbo8124 appreciate it so much! More coming this week!
@freerfixedit I tried this and my max speed is 45 and it can't do wheelies. I'm only 140lbs maybe 150 with my gear. Maybe I'm just dumb and did it wrong though
@@razork9291 I’m like 185 and can loop the thing out. If you can’t wheelie it it didn’t work. Is it the R model?
How long did it take to ship
ordered it april 2nd, delivered april 13th . shipped from cali to nc
@@freerfixedit ok thank you 🙏
Does it break easily?
No, owned it for over a year now. Raced it, jumped it, got hit by a car. They’re pretty durable honestly
Why do you need to cut the wire?
They come artificially limited from factory. Cutting the brown wire unlocks full power
Just got mine..no doubt it's powerful..but I'm suprised no one says much about the quality being pretty suspect with a lot of components..in a made in China kinda way. Hmm
what parts you talkin about? I'm pretty pleased with the quality... No issues from anything yet and almost at 1000 miles, I know what you mean tho, chinese pitbikes are junk and always break and have issues
@freerfixedit just everything in general from the packaging to the locks..keys..all the plastic just feels like it's gona disintegrate fast is this NMex sun. Not much quality anything these days. Fast and fun no doubt. Know anything of the quality of the batt cells? Couldn't find much
@@northerndelights3113 yea, apparently they are pretty good quality LG cells
What was that brown wire you clipped?
They come artificially governed, cutting the brown wire unlocks the full power of the bike
sir can u buy for me it possible
the speedometer on any of these ebikes aint too accurate so i dont think that was 52 it was probably like 45 or 44
They go over 50 out of the box. Gps verified. I put a 52t sprocket on the rear of mine and still get 46mph on the gps
@@freerfixedit gotcha
Would this be small for 6’2” 235
Little bit, but they do make aftermarket parts to raise seat and lower pegs if you were dead set on a sting/surron
@@freerfixedit is there a better option for a similar bike
@@AW-yv9sq my brother is 6’4 and about same weight. I’d tell him to go for the ultra bee by surron. Yes it’s more expensive, but it just fits his frame better and would be more enjoyable to ride imo
How much is it
lunacycle.com/talaria-sting-r-mx4/
💯‼️
🤝
Has the Police messed with you yet? Here in Florida we would not be able to ride everywhere, that's going to be classed as a straight up Motorcycle due to no pedals. Some places are pretty strict on the pedal or pegs thing I've heard. But crap I want one of those 👍
They haven’t messed with me yet and I’ve passed a few. I’ve just been being respectful, not speeding, and only having my fun in safe places. Basically, I feel like you have to give them a reason to mess with you
@@freerfixedit Thanks for info will be watching to see how it goes, She's a Bute
@@bikedoc4145 appreciate it! Been a lot of fun so far! Best wishes
Could you put a 4 year old on the front of you and still rip?
I mean I’m sure you could cruise around the yard or block just to get some wind in their hair, but I wouldn’t go too crazy
how do you know what wire too cut ???
could you make a video on just how and what wire too cut too unlock the power ?
how much u buy
@@freerfixedit Sir I don't have it but I will give to u small small to u plz buy for me now n send to me in INDIA
TURN THE REAR shock UPSIDE DOWN ...your pal the canadian
What’s this do?
Nah I was for real like I know where that is then bro said he was in the outer banks and I’m like that’s why I know where that is
Hmu to ride if you’re in the area man!
dont be going into anyone driveway hahahaha
Why did you cut the wire?
They come artificially governed from the dealer, snipping the brown wire unlocks the full power of the bike
Battery range - I’m in Wilmington and want a #e-bike so I can get to and from to surf 🏄♂️
I haven’t done an all out range test yet, but I can confidently say you can’t get 40 miles with aggressive city style riding in sport mode
@@freerfixedit ok / now that’s impressive as I was figuring (conservative riding) that range would work out to 1/2 of the battery voltage? Whatever upgrades they did to that motor and magnets must be pretty darn good? And it sounds quite!
@@davedave2941 its been a great bike to ride so far, I cant stay off of the thing... they must have done something right!
I'm in mass I want one but $$$$
I've wanted a surron since they came out! finally pulled the trigger on this, no regrets, no buyers remorse!
on it
🤙🏽⚡️
Don’t forget to breathe
bring me a piece of gum!
Hey
Hi 👋🏽
Do yourself a favor.. drain and replace the gear oil right now with quality synthetic.. then do it again at 100 miles.. I’m in Maine and have had mine for a year.. thinking about upgrading to the R but might wait a year.. see if we go to war.. if so might not want to give them anymore business
Thanks for the advice! I’ll do it sooner than later now. And hopefully the only war that goes on is between talaria and surron so these bikes keep getting better!
