- Опубликовано: 5 янв 2022
- The first supermoto electric bike! Brilliant fun, easy to use, more range than you think and you can take it flattracking... watch the video to see why it belongs in your garage! Check out the full range here: artisanscooters.com/ and let them know I sent you!
Correction, at 1:04, the 5kW ES1-Pro is actually 6.7bhp, not "around 15!''

thank you so much for your review! Keep up the good work. I've always ridden gas bikes but you've helped me understand the latest tech and definitely am considering joining in on the EV fun like you. Take care mate.
Cheers Brandon, EV is here to stay, thanks for watching!
Glad to see this review. I've been curious about it.
Thanks for watching Will! Appreciate your time.
I have had an ES1 for about 1 year - 5000K so far - and I also have a CBR1000rr for real thrills - they are different machines but both are a lot of fun. Some how riding the low powered ES1 has improved my riding on the CBR.
Oooh great to know!
Great stuff lara, very professional review you can just tell you put your heart and sole into it. New subscriber to your channel looking forward to seeing more of you in the future. Cheers.👍
Thanks for the sub! Really appreciate you watching Phil, it took a fair bit of editing as I had it for too long and recorded too much! #classicyoutuberproblems ;)
Even your SOUL, as opposed to the bottom of your shoe. Would you BUY it though.....the bike?
I caught this video out of my desire to get an electric trackbike for use at go kart tracks. I found your video and was surprised by all the “new” things this exposed me to. I have been a motorcyclist for over 30 years, so I don’t get “new” things to ponder a lot. Thank you!
New thing#1. I am a track rider familiar with 2 styles of riding, knee down and foot out (supermoto style). Here you are demonstrating another (one I knew of but don’t ever think about): foot down.
New thing #2: dirttrack school. This is something I have long felt I need to learn to be a real motorcyclist. Thanks for the video and making me aware of the school. Love that this is a course with left and right turns. That was new to me since i am only aware of left turning circle tracks. (Gues this is 2 new things.)
New thing #3. This is a question. Foot down technique puts your knee in a vulnerable position for injury. I am thinking about MCL/ACL injuries. I know this is more of a thing for dirt/offroad riders. Do you think knee braces, such as used by dirt riders, are a good consideration for this type of riding (dirt tracker insights welcome)? They are $$$. I am thinking about my foot flexing my knee sideways as it contacts the ground. It is at the very “end” of your leg and has a lot of leverage. Even if the friction force from the ground doesn’t generate a large force. Just wondering if this is a real concern or just an intellectual distraction. Good safety gear allows us to master 2-wheels while allowing for errors with less consequence.
I want to ride and master everything 2-wheels related. Especially riding techniques. Thank you for the inspiration into “new” things.
Really appreciate your time in watching and replying :) So glad to share something new with you!
Really glad to see electric bikes starting to fill all motorcycling genres, especially the coolest of cool motorcycle types, ,,,,, being SuperMotos of course😉
Your profile picture says it all! I did lose the back on the ES1-Pro, tried to spin it it up in a gravel car park and it got slidey. Don't tell Artisan tho ;)
Love that you still have the Ducati Supersport S and guessing I'll be looking at electric motorcycles soon. BMW Vision DC Roadster has peaked my interest. 😃
Hello again! Thank you for watching this - and yeah the SS isn't going anywhere! I googled the DC roadster, really classy!
This looks interesting and very similar in terms of power and range and battery arrangement as the SuperSoco CPX I had on loan for a week and made some videos about. It's great for urban mobility, and commuting, but very limited in terms of country road riding because of the range.
Although I definitely got more than 60 miles out of the CPX ...
Then again I was mostly town riding averaging 15mph! Though I did get to 60 for stretches.
Hello Noo Biker and thank you for watching - good comparison with the CPX. These bikes are pretty simple to be fair and a good laugh if you're not fussed about outright power.
@@Laramoto absolutely agree!
Hi 👋 Lara! Happy to watch you again!
Really nice video. You explained that bike character very well.
I should not talking about electric traction negatively, because I work for a vehicle electric motor builder company, but there are still too many issues and contradictions involved in that “world”. It would take three pages to list them all. Lithium availability, sustainable (or non) electricity availability, decent ranges, and so on.
Anyway, I know it sounds a little bit selfish, but hope “they” let us run around with our roaring “two wheeled friends” (almost quoting Roger Taylor) for a little while longer.
Have a nice weekend.
Ps: I noticed 🤩 some snowboards in your super duper tidy garage, but I’ m not sure if one of that is a hardboot freecarve alpine one which I’m a big fan of. We don’t have only dream roads and landscapes for motorbikes adventures, but also pleasant ski resort.
Hello again Andrea! Thanks for watching this video, I appreciate it! I think you are right, there are a few glitches with the electric world but its fun to try something different. And yeah... I'm a bit OCD with the garage, we like Jones, Libtech and I think a Sick Stick? (its his!) ;)
Been interested in this bike for sometime with the off-road wheels. Great for green lanes and my commute. Less real world miles than I thought but most 125 dirt bikes never get riden 60miles in one hit. As batteries tech improves I'd assume in future you will be able to buy batteries that fit and give more mileage, prolonging its life at no great cost. Definitely more tempted after your real experience. Thanks for the great content.
Hello Andy! Thank you so much for your comment. I agree with all of your observations and don't hesitate to contact the Artisan team (let them know I sent you) and see what they can do!
I want to get this bike to run around NYC inspecting construction projects.
Its perfect for that!
@@Laramoto I definitely want that bike. It is really cold now in NYC, but I think it might me my summer cruiser. Someone is going to have to show me a few things, but it looks so cool. I have some knee injuries, this bike is pretty light 270lbs and it is plenty powerful enough for a novice. Harley LiveWire is 460lbs and I don't need all that power just starting out.
Yep got one.....iv stripped the plastic bits off, makes it look more supermoto...like you, iv been waiting for an affordable bike of this style, rather than scooter type, plus seating nice n high on the pro.
Battery technology will only improve, lighter and more range in future, so looking forward to slotting better battery if needed.
Hello Andrew! Thanks for watching - yeah I really felt like it had a supermoto feel to it. Glad to hear you're a pro electric!
I own the US version which tops out at 72mph and gets a range of about 65 miles, I’m shocked that the resellers in Europe have limited that version. I wonder why they did that.
Yeah, that is a wonder!
I was considering something like that for commuting before my company closed our local office and switched me to home working. It would have been perfect for my commute - 4.5 miles each way, half city, half country A road but Max 40 limit. It would be no replacement for my fun bike - Versys 1000, but as a commuter bike, spot on.
Hello Andy! Yes it would have been perfect indeed, depends if you're ok with the lack of storage though. Although I'd be tempted to cycle at just shy of 5 miles (showers/faff/weather/safety/admin pending!)
Great overview. Enjoyed it. I'd love an electric bike but 60 miles range isn't going to cut it outside urban areas - in the mountains where I live it's a non starter. The sound is interesting, a bit like my smoothie maker. 🍏
Hello Jed! Thank you for watching and yes, 60 miles is a smidge too far for it. My smoothie maker is much louder ;)
I really wish my 1090 bike would be as silent as this toaster. Nice review Lara!
Hahah I think you might be trying some sarcasm there... thank you for watching!
@@Laramoto no no, for real. I feel ashamed when going abroad to some serene village up in the alps onto tiny roads between stone houses while my katoom reverberates from every possible surface. it's power is absolutely great but I really dislike the noise it makes.
Ah I get ya - and agreed, when I'm riding an electric bike in a town/village its a bit less obnoxious. But a steady pace at the speed limit should be ok and at least the locals know you're trying to respect the area!
Hi Lara great video thank you can I ask what mileage range do you get on dynamic I believe that’s the other feature you said rather than sport? 42 on sport and dynamic maybe 80 miles? Kindest regards rob
So sorry but I can't remember...
Good day, I am trying to get an idea of the range at around 30 mile per hour (50KM per hour) in each of the three modes (eco, drive, and sport) Thanks Peter
Hello Peter! Thank you for watching - I think I can can only advise on the range I personally measured in the video but if you get in touch with the Artisan team, they will definitely be able to help you!
Nice review, thanks! The bike is a bit underpowered. Have you heard about Damon motorcycles? Hope you can test one of those one day!
Oh my! Dutifully googled and I really want to have a go! However I think my next video will be a petrol bike.. just cause ;)
Maybe it would be fun as a commuter but I'm still not sold. Nice video and breakdown however. Thanks Lara!
Hello and thank you for watching! Appreciate the feedback, took a while to put together. Happy New Year!
I own a Banshee. At a portly 220 pounds, I barely get 50 mph. Good acceleration, well built but charging is difficult because I live on the 3rd floor.
It's a dirt bike with an electric motor.
Won't disappoint.
Thank you for watching and well done for going electric! 3rd floor is a little tricky, but you're making it work - and yes, it is a dirt bike on road tyres. I really enjoyed it!
great vid - do you know where i could buy off road tyres for it? also - if i do install off road tyres, would it still be safe on roads? thanks
Thank you! I'd speak to artisanscooters.com/ and they will help you! You can ride on nobblies on the road but they aren't the best for traction on tarmac and a bit noisy, but I'm sure you can buy some that are good for both ;)
@@Laramoto thank you 😊
I'm 5ft 3.would this bike be to high or can it be altered
Always a way to get them altered, I'd check with Artisan! artisanscooters.com
Nice reviewed Lara! I am just not a fan of the front fender ... looks like an ant eater's snout! The rear fender isn't much better! I guess I'm an old fart who prefers the old retro bike looks! Royal Enfield is working on a couple ebikes! Now if they can throw a battery on the new Classic 350 Reborn... I'm on board!
Thank you for watching and I'm looking forward to some Royal Enfield E Bikes too, retro meets battery power, can't wait!
Can you please review the Yamaha x max 125 please
Working on it! Raced a few 125s but need to road test a few...
I'm looking to buy a buy in this price range 5k ISH is there another bike newer and better than this you would recommend
Hello! Have a word with the Artisan team, I'm sure they will help! There are other electric bike manufacturers out there but pretty pricey...
I just realized you have the chain version. I know this is against all logic, but I have a belt and easily exceed 70. I’ve noticed a lot of people with the chain model tend to clock top speed in at around 10-20 mph slower than belt ES1-pros. You used both battery packs, I assume?
Hello and thank you for commenting! Your top speed is great, I found that even at 60mph the speedo was over estimating it a little. Yes, it had both battery packs :)
It's entirely due to the front sprocket being smaller on the American version. Generally flat there whereas in Europe gearing for torque for hills seemingly took priority.
Hey hey great review. Do know what's the difference between tinbot and artisan? Or is it the same company?
Sorry I don’t know but you could ask the Artisan team!
Tinbot is the original name of the company-producer. Artisan is the name of their European distributor. Generally these are the same bikes.
they are same as tinbot with the derbi chassi
Good to know!
🔥🔥🔥🔥
What is the highway range?
I can't remember, but you could ask artisanscooters.com!
How about “running on static” for an equivalent to running on fumes?🤓
Haha I like it!
Can it wheelie?
With a bit of modification, maybe...
It sounds like the Jetsons.
I had to google that 😆
Running on fumes = Runing on sparks
Yep, agreed!
I’ve been waiting for a new Laramoto video and am a big fan of hers, and well, for the first time I’m disappointed, and not because she tested a battery bike. More on that later.
I understand the power of an electric motor for propulsion as I’ve maintained diesel/electric locomotives and ships. I understand the limitations of batteries which is really the crux of the matter. It’s not so much “range” as all bikes have limited range, it’s fuel replenishment. The time it takes to “fill” the batteries up is the issue. I currently live in Iowa in the USA, look it up, and not being able to “fill” batteries up quickly on the go severely limits the use of any battery powered bike.
That said, The Artisan is not sold here so I’ll limit my comments to the concept that this bike is built around. As Laramoto points out it is perfect for commutes and short hops. Even here, for a small town get around bike, it would be perfect. I know of two people who own small on/off road bikes that are used exactly as Laramoto so elegantly illuminates what the Artisan does best. I can’t fault the concept, or from what Laramoto revealed, the Artisan capabilities as it seems to fill its niche well. Almost too well.
Which brings me back to my disappointment. This is the first video where, I feel, it was set up to deliver a sales pitch. Everything seems to be about convincing me I need something that I didn’t even know I wanted. It reminded me of the fair barkers we have here that try and sell you gadgets that, “slice, dice, chop, and even make Julien fries.” The inclusion of a manufacturer’s rep following her puts an exclamation point on the idea that this was a carefully manicured video. The biggest disappointment however was the lack of joy de vie that has always accompanied Laramoto’s previous videos that highlighted her delight in motorcycling. You could tell she was working….
Hey Joe! Mega comment, love it. Not paid, just rode the ES1 Pro for a month so I had time to live with the bike. Might have diluted the fun somewhat... and the video took me about a year to edit because I recorded too much and life got busy! Thank you for watching though, it means lots and I will bring More Joy to the next attempt :)
30 miles lol...oh well onto the next one that seems waste of money .
Yeah but its a short distance commuter bike, so workable for those who only need short trips!
Drives me nuts when even a european video is in miles, majority of people on this planet use kms
Id actually buy a push bike before id buy this, i know its the future, but...
Its not quite the future, just a change from the past. Speaking of the past, cycling was a thing ;)
@@Laramoto 😁😁😀
