or just get a commuter style ebike which is more practical and efficient and weighs less? bonus points if you make your own with a mid drive motor and bigger battery which will blow this thing out of the water for a lower price @@living4adrenaline
Yeah one of those packs with a waist and sternum fastener .. I have one military style , I use it at speeds up to 75 mph on my 250cc, very water resistant and super roomy.@@living4adrenaline
It depends on your needs in regards to how practical this bike will be. If you live in the city and have a 6 to 7 mile commute and have space for it this bike is a game changer. No registration no insurance no need for an M class license. This bike could be a great cheap city commuter it can easily keep up with city traffic would be cheap to own/maintain and I think it's definitely worth the cost considering the performance you're getting.
Yep. I have this bike, and it's perfect for where I live and work. The roads are all 25 mph between home and work anyway, so I don't feel awkward driving it in the car lane. I'm fortunate to have a garage that I can store it in, but could definitely see how that would be a problem for those in an apartment.
Not too mention can be upgraded. higher capacity/voltage battery, controller and motor and yeah. I have 44 ah on my revv 1 already 100 mile range at 25 mph is great
I have over 100 miles on mine within two weeks. How practical is fun? This type of emobility provides a low maintenance (judging from my numerous other e-bikes), less noisy, less smelly and messy scrambler motorcycle type experience. What’s that worth to you?
When did u get yours?? And did u have problems when u got it I heard it had issues with it wich made me hesitate so far I love this bike but I’m hesitant because of reviews of issues I heard lmk!!
Very nice bike! I have owned a RadRover since 2018. The Beast still kicks butt. Almost 5000 miles now! Strictly street riding. customized for my "old-school" taste. Changed tires once, and regularly change brake-pads. That's it...Np problems. Excellent way to get around town/or wherever!
Someone needs to design these with a seat that can pop up for pedaling when battery is gone. Could even just have a hole so pull a seat with post out of your backpack lol. My Giant mountain bike had a nice "seat dropper". Just press a button and the seat pops up. Put it down for getting on and off the bike.
Can't wait for Ebikes/Motorcycles to be able to reach 50mph(80kph) while still being affordable and in the $4000-5000 range. I have yet to find a reliable company that offers this. As for now, Im going to stick with my Yamaha Smax since it delivers the power I need while still being very safe.

I just test rode this at Electrify Expo and its definitely not for the pedaler. The metal bars in front of the seat hit up against your legs as you try to pedal, which means you'd have to pedal bow-legged. Its a bike for people that don't like riding bikes but want the feel of a motorcycle.
@@fysteemicetea For a taller ride, that means you have to bend your legs more when pedaling (due to no seat height adjustment), which means more chance of your leg hitting those bars. I think anyone that buys this bike should consider it as a throttle bike with pedaling as a last resort option.
Dude said he doesn’t know how practical it is lol. It’s a e-bike cruiser that’s fun and stable pedals are there for legal issues. Everyone who knows about these kinda bike that pedaling is secondary. Anyway 2 is on the way for me n the wife. Cheers!
I really want this bike but I'll wait for the second version..the bad tensioner,the bad trip meter and no motor cable quick disconnect have waiting on a better bike..
This is my biggest concern. I live in Canada where these type of no licence bikes are sort of against the law but police don't seem to enforce the rules so as long as it basically looks like a bike. Once you're on something that looks like a mini dirt bike is when I'm worried I'd get pulled over by a cop asking me what it is and possibility of a ticket. In Canada only 500w motor or less and a max speed of 20 mph but again do not think they care as long as it looks like a bicycle relatively speaking. Not this. I'd have less confidence riding knowing I might get stopped by a cop.
That's because you have been an -ussy whipped Canadian into submission by an overbearing government who controls every aspect of your existence and has you shivering in your boots.
Weird product. In Europe, e-bike MUST be pedal assisted only, you can't use just the throttle to go around, because at that point you are using a moped or an electric motorcycle with cosmetic pedals, and this means you need a plate, a license and insurance since it's a vehicle and not more a bike (rightful so).
Some countries take a while to catch up with others. UK recently (about a year or 2 ago) had un banned scooters to use on public roads. In some cases, it's takes the USA a very long time to catch up with other countries. USA still doesn't have Universal/Public Healthcare.

There cities they have everything that you need and would be fine walking or riding. There are also parts of the country that they do have most of the things in town, most of the population is poor. Most of the towns around that main town has the same problems and/or has nothing in them.

@@NextNate03 then, just give people the option to hide or detach the pedal, or at least design a new pedal that let you pedal in a relaxed position. that way, the bike is still considered a bike and not a moped
If you detached the pedals, it not a E-Bike anymore. Hide pedals might be a whole new issue with law enforcement. As for redesigning the pedals. They could do it. There are other similar E-Bike options. I had riding the Juiced Bikes Hyper Scrabbler 2 a while back, I am 5 ft 11, I can use the pedals just fine. Did you see their Segway review? How would they redesign the pedals for a E-Bike that looks like a Moped/Scooter? There are other options out there.
@@NextNate03 i don't know, maybe create a flatter pedal kinda like car pedal just imagine, you're step on a car like pedal, left, right, left, right, and it allow you to move forward. therefore you can put your leg in straight position, booth of your feet are at the same height level and not opposing each other like using a normal bike pedal i know that a shallow pedal like car pedal won't be able to generate enough energy to accelerate a bike forward. but maybe assist it with electric motor. or i don't know, maybe someone can invent a new effective way to accelerate forward with only shallow pedal because that pedal is the only thing that get in the way of e-bike. it's just uncomfortable resting your leg in that unnatural position
Closet thing I could think of is something like a Recumbent bike. Edit: And there are E-Bikes like PodRide and Elf Solo. By that time, you are getting into used car prices territory.
Pedals are there to skirt the laws to make it an e bike when it should be a moped with plates. Too fast for a bike lane and too slow for cars. I wonder if cops will start stopping these.
A 7-year-old and a 19-year-old were killed in a house fire Monday that officials said was caused by an e-bike battery. The fire began on the first-floor vestibule of an Astoria, Queens, apartment building located on 46th Street and quickly spread to the second floor, where a man and his six children lived, according to local news outlet WNBC. Aided by multiple neighbors, the father was able to escape with several of his children after climbing through a second-story window.
I tell u what it wasnt caused by this brand or bike I bet that bike that caused the fire was cheap or no name Alibaba… stop treating all e-bikes the same
Companies has been selling similar and/or even faster E-Bikes years before they passed E-Bike tax credit. Edit: There are E-Bikes and regular bikes that cost 10k+ dollars.
@@NextNate03 another poster below interestingly points out the EU requires bikes to be pedal assisted to qualify for tax breaks. Otherwise they are just treated as electric bikes and require registration and taxes.

This isn’t a bike. It’s an electric moped. Peddling is barely an afterthought. Any ebike with a throttle is an electric moped. They should come with a proper motorcycle helmet.
No bikes, mopeds, motorcycles, or any personal transportation has ever came with a helmet. For the other person. You don't need a motorcycle license. If you are planning to ride without the bike pedals, you might need a special license. My question is that do you need a special license for a 49/50cc Moped? If you do, yes. That is if you are planning to ride without bike pedals.
having a throttle is convenient when you want to accelerate fast from a full stop, like at a stop sign or red light... or if you need to get away from a dog/person chasing you. im pretty sure all ebike motor kits come with a throttle, even the smallest ones so why arent ebikes called emopeds genius?
Agree on the terrible customer service. I hope the bike is better than customer service. It is very bad. And I’m sure my review won’t show on their website that selects which reviews they show.
Wow, what a terrible review. Not everyone is in your situation in a small apartment. There are plenty of positive reviews of this bike including daily commuting. The weight is not excessive being a full suspension moped style bike. All e-bikes can be pedalled away without the battery. Perhaps if you did better reviews, CNET would pay you more an you would not need the ebike to contribute to your rent.
In 2022, e-bikes were responsible for an estimated 220 fires, up more than 100% year-over-year, and six deaths, according to the New York Fire Department (FDNY). Already this year, there have been 59 fires, more than three dozen injuries and five deaths in New York City as a result of e-bike battery fires.

@@NextNate03depends on priorities, If it were one or the other id rather have something that I can overtake traffic in, and not limited to range and not be sidelined with charging taking the spontaneity out of riding. The downhill mountain bikes that allow you to climb really far and then ride. Downhill mountain biking is a great concept and use case for having the electric and still actually being able to pedal it sans electric, however, those are incredibly expensive and likey decline in value fast due to proprietary parts.
You can overtake traffic in any E-Bikes. Of course depending on the traffic and E-Bikes. There are E-Bikes that can go even faster than the CNET video, 45 to 60+ MPH. Range. I've seen some E-Bikes that has a range of 250-300+ miles. Technically, all E-Bikes has unlimited range. Charging. You could hot-swap the batteries faster then you could fill your motorcycle up with gas. Everything is going electric including motorcycles. Companies has been making electric motorcycles for years. Longevity. You get what you paid for. All or most E-Bikes uses universal parts that you could find online.
@@NextNate03 yeah but I'm sure they're untouchable for most people. I do love the instant torque of electric especially on those trial style bikes to overcome obstacles and popping off little things to get air. That's an experience that's unique in itself

I had riding the Juiced Bikes Hyper Scrabbler 2 a while back, I am 5 ft 11, I can use the pedals just fine.
Did you see their Segway review?
How would they redesign the pedals for a E-Bike that looks like a Moped/Scooter?
There are other options out there.
@@NextNate03 i don't know, maybe create a flatter pedal kinda like car pedal
just imagine, you're step on a car like pedal, left, right, left, right,
and it allow you to move forward.
therefore you can put your leg in straight position,
booth of your feet are at the same height level
and not opposing each other like using a normal bike pedal
i know that a shallow pedal like car pedal won't be able to generate enough energy to accelerate a bike forward.
but maybe assist it with electric motor.
or i don't know, maybe someone can invent a new effective way to accelerate forward with only shallow pedal
because that pedal is the only thing that get in the way of e-bike.
it's just uncomfortable resting your leg in that unnatural position
Closet thing I could think of is something like a Recumbent bike.
Edit:
And there are E-Bikes like PodRide and Elf Solo.
By that time, you are getting into used car prices territory.
I am 5 3 and the bike is perfect for pedal
Pedals are there to skirt the laws to make it an e bike when it should be a moped with plates. Too fast for a bike lane and too slow for cars. I wonder if cops will start stopping these.
A 7-year-old and a 19-year-old were killed in a house fire Monday that officials said was caused by an e-bike battery.
The fire began on the first-floor vestibule of an Astoria, Queens, apartment building located on 46th Street and quickly spread to the second floor, where a man and his six children lived, according to local news outlet WNBC.
Aided by multiple neighbors, the father was able to escape with several of his children after climbing through a second-story window.
All lithium batteries have a higher chance of catching on fire.
I tell u what it wasnt caused by this brand or bike I bet that bike that caused the fire was cheap or no name Alibaba… stop treating all e-bikes the same
@@DriverJ-N Dont know Just be cautious with charging batteries
@@duncanmcgoo4891Agreed.
Look what happened with Samsung Galaxy Note 7.
Cool now do one about the 30,000 Americans killed EVERY YEAR by cars
Looks like a Yamaha FS1 has paddles like a Puch Maxi P.
not super practical ....
you should probably review more laptops ...
Dave 😂😂😂😂😂
It depends on the person.
What's the price?
double tube n swing arm
why buy a e-bike if you wanna pedal save you cash and get a Wal-Mart bike
I thought it was 46 mph
That's a E-moped, disguising them causes all kinds of problems for emtb's. Worse is the sur-ron x
Cry about it
Surrons are the coolest thing on earth. Sorry you hate fun.
@@justinbogart278 Bro drives a F150 and never turns on the radio
I think they just put pedals on it so workers can make use of cycle to work tax breaks making it more affordable.
Companies has been selling similar and/or even faster E-Bikes years before they passed E-Bike tax credit.
Edit:
There are E-Bikes and regular bikes that cost 10k+ dollars.
@@NextNate03 another poster below interestingly points out the EU requires bikes to be pedal assisted to qualify for tax breaks. Otherwise they are just treated as electric bikes and require registration and taxes.
@@pissbabygrandadUSA isn't part of the EU.

What kind of stupid contraption is this? Either just make a moped or an ebike. This doens't work as either
You don't need a Moped or a Motorcycle license to use with an E-Bike.
Don't need to register it with DMV.
Don't need to take a motorcycle class. (Required in California)
Don't need gas (assuming that the Moped or Motorcycle is non-electric).
No property taxes.
Don't have to get insurance.
Could take on public transportation.
Depending on the businesses, you could take it inside.
More areas to park.
Don't have to pay for parking.
Moped or Motorcycle:
Can't take on public transportation.
Can't ride on bike trails or lanes.
Can't do wheelies.
Can't take it into businesses.
Less areas to park.
Pay for parking (in areas that user have paid parking).
If you add all that up, that E-Bike is cheaper to use/own.
@@NextNate03 yeah so just get a proper ebike like they have all over Europe instead of this monstrosity
It's for people who want to be a part of the super73/cafe racer community but want to fall in line with 750w motor regulation and don't want to spend 3k+
@@Thatsme849USA isn't part of Europe. At least it hasn't been since the 1700's.
@@NextNate03 And your point is? That we can't learn from each other?
This isn’t a bike. It’s an electric moped. Peddling is barely an afterthought. Any ebike with a throttle is an electric moped. They should come with a proper motorcycle helmet.
My question is can I ride this without a motorcycle license in California?
No bikes, mopeds, motorcycles, or any personal transportation has ever came with a helmet.
For the other person.
You don't need a motorcycle license.
If you are planning to ride without the bike pedals, you might need a special license. My question is that do you need a special license for a 49/50cc Moped?
If you do, yes. That is if you are planning to ride without bike pedals.
having a throttle is convenient when you want to accelerate fast from a full stop, like at a stop sign or red light... or if you need to get away from a dog/person chasing you. im pretty sure all ebike motor kits come with a throttle, even the smallest ones so why arent ebikes called emopeds genius?
Agree on the terrible customer service. I hope the bike is better than customer service. It is very bad. And I’m sure my review won’t show on their website that selects which reviews they show.
The author is upspeaking.
whist the best bike like this for a 5ft women. I love the motorbike look but need to be able to touch the floor etc
Cool
Wow, what a terrible review. Not everyone is in your situation in a small apartment. There are plenty of positive reviews of this bike including daily commuting. The weight is not excessive being a full suspension moped style bike. All e-bikes can be pedalled away without the battery. Perhaps if you did better reviews, CNET would pay you more an you would not need the ebike to contribute to your rent.
Heavier E-Bikes are harder to pedal when comparing to super light E-Bikes or just a regular bike.
Edit:
Owning a home is more of a luxury now days.
the weight is excessive, its like 20 lbs lighter than a talaria x but a talaria is better by like 100x in every way
In 2022, e-bikes were responsible for an estimated 220 fires, up more than 100% year-over-year, and six deaths, according to the New York Fire Department (FDNY). Already this year, there have been 59 fires, more than three dozen injuries and five deaths in New York City as a result of e-bike battery fires.
All lithium batteries have a higher chance of catching on fire.

Yes you can.
Of course it depends on which e-bike.

@@NextNate03depends on priorities, If it were one or the other id rather have something that I can overtake traffic in, and not limited to range and not be sidelined with charging taking the spontaneity out of riding. The downhill mountain bikes that allow you to climb really far and then ride. Downhill mountain biking is a great concept and use case for having the electric and still actually being able to pedal it sans electric, however, those are incredibly expensive and likey decline in value fast due to proprietary parts.
You can overtake traffic in any E-Bikes. Of course depending on the traffic and E-Bikes.
There are E-Bikes that can go even faster than the CNET video, 45 to 60+ MPH.
Range.
I've seen some E-Bikes that has a range of 250-300+ miles.
Technically, all E-Bikes has unlimited range.
Charging.
You could hot-swap the batteries faster then you could fill your motorcycle up with gas.
Everything is going electric including motorcycles.
Companies has been making electric motorcycles for years.
Longevity.
You get what you paid for.
All or most E-Bikes uses universal parts that you could find online.
@@NextNate03 yeah but I'm sure they're untouchable for most people. I do love the instant torque of electric especially on those trial style bikes to overcome obstacles and popping off little things to get air. That's an experience that's unique in itself
Revv 1 E-Bike looks like a right pile of crap. BSA Bantam any day.
