I bought one of these from the local dealer, A&M Moto Toys in Monument Colorado and I really like it so far! I have a number of full size gas bikes but this is a whole different experience. It is super light in motion and surprisingly powerful. Mode 1 and 2 are plenty for me in almost any circumstance. Mode 3 is like a Ludicrous mode. I do need to put bar risers on it because I am 6'. I think the suspension is better than expected. I reduced the rebound damping in the fork 7 clicks from standard and that allows the front end to hold up much better and it is now much more supple. The range and power capabilities are so much better than any comparable electric motorcycle out there at this time and having the 18/21 wheels is great. I am very excited and can't wait to spend some more time on the machine!
You caught my attention with the 8K msrp.. I purchased mine 2 months ago at full price. Your review is dead on. Needs a better 2- piston rear break, kickstand is a joke, rear shock is impossible to adjust without taking off plastics, Fardriver app is extremely difficult to figure out, I'd really like to set my engine braking/regen. I happened to weigh the bike, definitely not 180#, but still 20# lighter than my modded Ultra. Great review.
I’m gonna be ordering a couple of these with the tech suspension directly from china. Have you put a bar riser on yours? The guy in this video did but didn’t say which one fit. I’ve test ridden one and the bars are definitely too low.
@@anotherguywithaflyingcamer6193 I just purchased Renthal bars about 1/2" taller. I'm short, don't bother me. Bigger issue was Acerbis hand guards don't fit on stock bars.
I have not on the Arctic Leopard but we have had good luck with their suspension stuff on other E motos. We have yet to have anyone opt for the extra cost on suspension. Maybe we will on our next demo bike. That said I have been pretty happy with the stock suspension.
My XXX rips the shit out of the mountains. Not a horse power game out there. 140 lbs with 21/16 wheels, a mountain bike on steroids! This A.L. looks super dope however. 25kw and comes with a 21" front wheel? Looks better than the Eride SR, just alot more money.

I got the ex800 about 2 months ago and i love the bike . You said you got 3 inch risers any chance you could send me a link to those ? Thanks
Very helpful review. Do the EX800s have direct drive, or a primary belt, like an Ultra Bee? Thanks
Direct drive

What was the weight of your bike?
@@peterrockne223 204# I added heavy 3mil tubes and Acerbis hand guards.. doubt that's 20#. I'm going to weigh again with pics or video.

Have you ridden one with the Tech suspension? I see that as an option everywhere you can buy one, but haven't heard of anyone riding it.

a new bike comes out every week ...all i want in my next bike is range
Which 3" risers are you using? I'm ordering one and know off the bat I need to rise the bars
Hmm They are just generic bar risers off Amazon. I think they were around $13.
@ awesome thanks. Wasn’t sure if they’d be compatible
I’m 5’7. Bikes big lol comparing it to my talaria x3 makes me giggle
Time for a real dirt bike!
