Yup I have been one of the lucky ones , I own an Onyx & just over the past year I,ve been collecting parts for my Onyx just because I’ve heard the same thing . I have just enough parts to build 2 more bikes if I chose to & have lots of battery packs , so I’m good .
So you’ve got like $12,000 in parts?
i need one of those batteries?
Can we be friend's?
I was fortunate enough to buy my RCR almost two years ago now and only have one issue that turned out to be silly. But I have to give it to them. I was out in the hills where no one was around for miles and my RCR lost power and I was stranded. I shot a text to these guys at ONYX while scratching my head wondering WTF I was going to do and how I was going to get back into town and I believe it was Matt who replied from home to my text within two minutes. Explained to him what happened. He called me directly and we went through some steps together where he accurately diagnosed the issue.
It didn't get me back on the road right away but that was because I had taken the spare 120amp fuse that was taped to the inside of the wood cover out. To this day I can't remember my reasoning for that silly decision. Maybe I thought it would have fallen out while riding. And if this has happened to anyone else out there, I hope you did as I did. As soon as I got back into town, I pulled the fuse holder, went on Amazon ordered a DC 120 amp breaker, and installed that. Never had any issues since.
I have over 2000 miles on my RCR with no other issues but the one described above. They are fairly easy to mod on. I haven’t done anything extreme to mine as I think they're a work of art. All I’ve done was for practicality. Bigger headlight and better tail light. Custom longer seat.
If you’re curious how I got back to town that one time… Being from and growing up in San Diego I would have just called someone to save me. But I am new to Washington. So I began pushing my 175-pound bike the 15 miles it would take to get back. I would never expect this in California but to my dismay 10 minutes into my push the only vehicle to pass me pulled over and offered to run home and grab their truck and trailer and give me a hand. So they took off and I thought to myself self “why would they return” so after 10 more minutes of pushing dude came back and gave me a lift back. Turns out he’s a motorcycle enthusiast and had never seen anything like the bike I was on and wanted to know more about it.
The point is, ONYX had the best of intentions and had designed and built an iconic bike that has created an almost, if not, what is, a cult following that has sprouted 3rd party creators to add to what I think is one of the best Ebikes created.
There are what seems to be endless mods that one can do to this Ebike or just leave it as is and is still a work of art. It's just a bummer tragedy has struck the company and my heart goes out to everyone who had a hand in building it.
I am proud that I can say that I purchased one that was made in the USA!
And yes, I would be interested in seeing what the acting CEO would have to say to a more hard-line set of questions.
Thank you for your channel! Appreciate you bud.
post more on the situation. its interesting to see a company refusing to admit they are in tough waters, still take orders during a time of uncertainty.
Thanks for the video, I was about to buy an RCR used for a great price, this is making me think twice.
On march 25th, Onyx Motorbike went bankrupt
@@mcgavockaudio they are out of business now
Early adopter here…..Bought my onyx rcr during the indigogo days back in 2018. I was the first customer in Santa Cruz,ca to own one.
Loved it dearly and rode it hard. Awesome machine but it has its faults. Changing the rear tire or fixing a flat is a huge pain the ass.
Overall it was aw3some. Sold mine 3 years later with 8000 miles on it. Still sold it for a profit and got more than I paid for it. Perks of being an early adopter. Shit yeah though we had a great run together.
I like ONYX, but it seems like they had their golden age the last few years and it may be coming to an end. They had more than enough influencer support on RUclips. They should have skipped the LZR, and stuck to high power bikes. If/when regulations tighten up, they would probably come out the other side as a motorcycle company, and not an ebike company- considering the power of their bikes. I dont think you will be able to sell a 4000W ebike and call it 750W forever. In the future, electric motorcycles will be subject to further scrutiny than ebikes. So to be an emoto company, you will have to have your stuff together. And it seems ONYX is struggling, even under loose ebike regulations. I don't understand how they messed up this bad, when the Onyx has seemingly been a popular successful bike. When the regulations do come. its companies like ONYX that will have to pivot and struggle to adapt. And if they are struggling already, thats concerning. I hope they can figure it out and stick around, I like their bikes!! I wonder if the original founder designer guy is still there? Or have a bunch of other people taken over? I think if the original guy that founded the company is still there, maybe theres some passion and fire left. But if the company has been handed over to a bunch of bean counters, then its probably F-d.
The owner died. That’s when the company started tumbling and now ended up in bankruptcy on March 25.
The warranty is with Mulberry NOT Onyx. If something goes wrong, they give you cash not a new bike.
Also it takes 18 months minimum to develop a new bike. They actually have a new bike design but don't have the resources to bring it to market. Sadly that bike would be a game changer.
Thanks for the shoutout!

They were softball questions because the interviewer is an Onyx employee. And somehow they ended up looking worse after the interview than they did before it.
thanks for the update Mike. I own an Onyx RCR I bought back in March of 2021, not long before Tim bought his bikes and I saw your video on them. I love my Onyx, and this is unfortunate to see. I agree there was some build quality issues but to this day mine has not let me down. I hope they get things sorted out. It's still one of the fastest and best looking stock bikes out there.
@joshmaddux I have an opportunity to get a shorty dirt hit with the 41ah battery 325 miles on it. For a great price. My only concern is durability. How is your holding up?
All I heard is went to China for cheaper stuff to make even more money for a cheap bike.
I live near where the onyx motor shop is at in LA, noticed on my ride to work that their store front is no longer there in el segundo!
They went out of business march 25th no longer taking in orders
I just came from there web site . Still show CTY2 for sale
The owner died
@@crispysockssshow did he die? 😢
@@bigballa8220 embolism
I love the Onyx RCR but it was so far out of my price range.... I even had one of the people working there saying I could make monthly payments at the location but it was in California and I live in PA. Really nice of them but there was no way I would have been able to do that.... 😂
Haha thats my comment. 😂
Well you were spot on sir🫡
@@MikeFede the inventory posted for sale was old parts that aren't compatible with what they currently sell from what I was told by a 3rd party who knows more about what's going on. (And they don't have anywhere to store it)
That OfferUp listing of all the ONYX parts is all the NCR random non inventory crap that got left behind on purpose when moving out of the warehouse. It's not new inventory stuff. And it's not ONYX selling it. It's probably some scrapper person that picked it up from the landlord when he was cleaning it up. Or maybe it's the landlord himself.
I remember I was debating between ONYX or Huck stinger 3000 back in 2020. I ended up going with the Huck because it looked like a better built bike with more support. I even talked to owner a couple times. It's a good bike, but a lot wiring looked pretty rough and it seems a little too top heavy. It be interesting how Huck Cycles is doing nowadays, their website is still up but they have been really quiet. It be cool if maybe they can pick up the onyx brand since they are very close anyway.
I would go dyi my self build with my own obtained parts
I have an onyx CTY 2 with only 20 mi on it, and all 20 mi would put on it today. My bike was manufactured in September of 2023, and I'm pretty sure it was probably one of the last ones that were made. I'm hoping to sell the bike, but after this news, I'm not sure that anyone's going to buy it.
how much?
@@TRACEY1JENKINS It was stolen 2 days ago, unfortunately
😂 after this news more people will want to buy them one of the best e- bike brands went out of business and now there is very limited bikes out there I have a feeling that when taking care of these bikes correctly modding them you can definitely sell this
If anybody wants an onyx CTY 2, I have one with like 20 miles on it at most. It had less than a mile on it until yesterday when I rode it for the first time. I've also got a couple hundred dollars in parts for it too that I've never installed.
I would take $2500 right now for the bike.
i got 5 dollars and a ham sandwich
Where are you in the US? For shipping
@@TheIrshNinjaaa I live in Carbondale, Illinois, and I'll sell it to you for 2200. That's the absolute lowest that I can go.
When they're selling something that's really expensive, legal to own but illegal to use just about everywhere, great product, but not a sustainable business model.
You’re right at some point if they were going to continue as a business they would’ve needed to make this a legal bike to register or make is more an actual while as CA E-bike laws will catch up in a couple years or sooner
Dude I order one last Friday and had no idea about this… if I saw this I would have not order one :(
Cancel it and buy my Solar Eclipse 2.0 that is Brand New and has 72V 45Ah battery and goes 60+mph
@@Rogue_1987I try to cancel it an they told me there is 25% cancel fee an 25% restocking fee
@@Rogue_1987 I want to buy they will charge me %25 cancel fee and %25 restocking fee. So like I’m kinda stuck with it unless I contact my bank and let them know what’s going an an they are refusing to cancel the order 🤷🏼♂️
@@Rogue_1987I wanted to but they said there is 25% cancellations free an also a restocking fee 25% so I’m ass out
@@Rogue_1987Yes, highly recommended.
Nice looking e bike!
Looking to get an upgraded bike in April was really thinking the city or the newer power goat what you think?
I wanted a wired freedom, but I purchased this onyx CTY2. It has less than 20 miles and I'll sell it to you for $2,500 if you want it. I have a couple hundred dollars in accessories to go with it.
I have a motor goat and love it the top speed is 44 mph with me 6 ft 225 lb
Interesting Mike ....... Onyx had a bunch of E-Bikes "stolen" out of there open garage door factory 2 years ago. True or NOT ? ...... Who knows the truth? The Motor Goat V3 is due within a month. It will be a 45-50 MPH Monster I have heard directly from the owner for 1/2 the price. My V3 will be delivered within 2 weeks. NO facts yet ....... but if it is true ....... the E-Bike industry will EXPLODE shortly as NOBODY has a faster E-Bike for less money.
It's true had the billy goat v2. The motor goat v3 has been tweeked even more.
Dig in more, i need more info
The owner died
Onyx is a scam. They stole $5000 from me. I paid for an rcr in september and never got it. Now they are ghosting me and wont give me my money back.
Onyx went out of business because the owner died and now the company has dissolved - contact your bank to see if you can get the money back because you aren't getting that bike
Of course they shut down because the very expensive price
The owner died
Never like the Onyx ...it is so ugly with the wood panel look. They should have made authentic changes , this is what happens when you don't change with the times.
Tim Pool, like the right wing grifter?
😂 is that where he is on the spectrum now? They keep moving the political identity field goal post.
😂 yep! they keep moving the goal posts but he just keeps running for that td
You can buy a knock off with similar or better specs for $700…..why are you not just laughing uncontrollably about clowns like Onyx?
the cost of one of those motors, and shipping it to the US, is greater than 700
Ebike is doomed for 2 reasons price and they are going to get regulated out of existence the bans are beginning to happen or we will have to buy a license for it and insurance like cars
