$6,000 Electric Motorcycle vs $0 Twisty Roads

- Today we take the beginner friendly 8kw solar e-clipse electric motorcycle out to the winding curvy roads of Malibu in the Santa Monica Mountains. It's some of the best motorcycle riding roads in the LA area, we'll see how this light weight carbon fiber motorcycle holds up.
I haven't been riding my 72v sur ron much ever since getting the solar eclipse electric motorcycle... not because it's faster, because it's not. It's a new electric vehicle and it's fun, and stable at high speed. Think of the solar eclipse ebike as a mustang, and the 72v Sur ron as a Ferrari. The Solar E-clipse electric bike is a bit more tame and civilized, it's easier to be on for a longer ride. The 72v Sur ron is wild and fatiguing to be on for a long time. Love them both, and loved this ride. Enjoy the juiced joyride.

The whine of that electric motor sounds a lot like the exhaust from the 4 cylinder rotary engine in the Mazda 787B ‘91 in Gran Turismo 7.
it does sound good I think, would love to try belt drive on this
Sweet. Electric motorcycles look fun.
Definitely sir
Youre blessed with such great views!
Nice man! Glad to see you're enjoying that bike. Those roads are so nice to ride, nothing better then the twisty roads and beautiful scenery 🙌🏼
we gotta go on a ride soon 🤙🏼
Thanks, yes we do
@@JuicedJoyrides do you use your IG?
The issues with the beta testing bikes have been addressed and resolved with updated controllers and chains. Having 100% rectification and fixing all the issues is definitely a positive outcome.
It's also exciting that Solar is working on creating an Apple app for the Solar E-Clipse. Offering a dedicated app can enhance the user experience and provide additional functionality. I'm sure many people will be looking forward to its release.
That random stop sign looked like it was a rock fall area so maybe stop make sure coast is clear then go I wish we had hills and curvy roads like that where I live to ride looks awesome
I think you're right. The mountains is one of the best parts about living here
Bro love your content it’s fire 🔥. Keep it up TailHappy👍🏻
Thanks dude, funny you drop this comment on Juiced Joyrides saying keep it up “TailHappy” because I’m literally having a conundrum here deciding on what continent to post on what channel and if it even makes sense to have two channels or not. I’m about to post a high power electric scooter review and I don’t know if I should publish it on Juiced Joyrides or TailHappy. I’m kind of thinking that Juiced Joyrides should be for high power, non-exercise, kind of stuff, and keep TailHappy to electric bicycles and lower power, legal kind of stuff. It’s all very confusing and if you have any input, I’d like to hear.
Amazing!! Wow!!! I wanna be riding there
Everything about this video was perfect. The Strava stats, state of charge, the chart breakdown of the actual percentage based on voltage, riding in the Malibu mountains, I would 100% be doing the same thing (except going that fast up hill). Keep up this series. I really want to buy this bike. Still is very impressive for what it is
🙏 about to get out for another ride on it today, planning a longer route and maybe to bring the charger, or maybe just ride harder knowing it can do it, need to find a place to charge in Malibu 😆
@@JuicedJoyrides nice. Keep the same format with the stats at the end. Find a local restaurant that you’ve been meaning to stop at and make it a mini vlog. Hopefully you pick up some street tires as I’d be using this to commute on the streets of dtla as well. I’m considering this and the ryvid anthem
@@c2thew I should be getting a Ryvid anthem on the channel for at least a few rides here coming within a few weeks I hope
@@TailHappyTV just realized that you have two channels. Smart. Will wait for the reviews of the ryvid anthem and the rebranded Denzel samurai (solar eclipse) before pulling the trigger. The new c1x by super 73 is also on my radar but they have not made any announcements or progress on that emotorcycle. Was almost burned by preordering a sondors metacycle when that weighed in at over 300lbs.
@@c2thew it’s an entire different audience for e-bikes vs emotos, will be getting more on the channel soon
another great vid .thanks man. i gave ya a big thumbs up....peace out
Thanks dude!
Sick ride and road bro 🤙!!
AWESOME!!! From 00:00 until 16:06 ❤
Man I envy you this very minute...that bike look like fun I sure would like to own one😀
I feel different gearing will fix the motor cut outs, and give better torque. The gearing for that 60mph top speed has to be stressing the motor at all times. Swapping to a different cog in the rear wheel would greatly improve the bike and only cost 5mph in top speed.
Officer Karen is rolling in her grave😂lol
Love your content and thankful it encourages people to get out there and enjoy life.
😆 that's what it's all about
Dang the onboard speedometer is off like 10 mph at times.
Damn son that bike looks so much fun I envy you dude.
Amazing
🙏
What street tyres do you think would work for this bike? Some supermotos? Maybe go down to a 17" or just stay 19"? Im new to this stuff and just bought this bike and will be mostly street riding when I get mine :)
Love it Nice
Lots of the aftermarket srron controllers have like a 100v cap which means the biggest battery you could run would be a 23s which is an 84v battery and fully charged its like 96v I know some people have made their own but why wouldn't the actual battery makers make them this way instead of 72v it would be the best performance you could get without using a controller meant for higher voltages. Has me tempted to build my own talaria battery
good point, maybe Chi will whip something up for this
How does this eclipse compare to Talaria Sting R MX4?
Not sure how these are constructed, but if the hot stuff is on the outside a few aluminum heatsinks go a long way at 30mph
How does this compare to the Talaria Sting R?
what app is your phone for speedometer?
I really hope there's an option in the future to order one of these with street tires, instead of the knobbies.
There is now. They are 16inch though not 19. which is fine and honestly better. Im about to order
get a computer fan with high air flow so when parked you can fast-forward motor cooling^^ also can put another computer fan on controller if there is no fan at the moment
Looks like there is a computer fan already built into the bike on the bottom of the seat
I own a cbr600rr it's my second one they are fun.. on roads like that.
nice! I'm starting to miss my old 600rr sometimes
Why do you ride so close to the double yellow when going around the twisties? Where I'm from most people have zero regard for road markings and it's usually idiots in trucks driving straight down the center of back roads, which would be pretty scary on a bike like that! Also is the RPM just straight double digits or is it k's like it's read on cars? 52 sounds really low for max speed but 52,000 also sounds insanely high.
Motor temp is shown in two digits Celsius, rpm is 4 digits, 5500 rpm is like 45 mph roughly. I need to get better at handling the bike and staying away from center line, need street tires. Been a while since I’ve had my sport bikes haha I’m rusty
@@JuicedJoyrides Ah that makes a lot more sense, it'll be cool to see how it performs with the upgraded controller and street tires when you get those. Just stay safe man, I definitely wouldn't be wearing an open face helmet going 40mph. I see a lot of bikers ride the yellow whether it's electric bikes or gas bikes so I thought it might've been intentional but couldn't think of a reason why it'd be.
Do you just keep it in your apartment? That's what I do with my Solar Scooter and I feel I don't have room for this even though I want one.
Yeah these can’t be left out in public I feel
Yeah that’s true. By the way, what do you use for microphone on your GoPro? Is it just the built-in audio?
I was wondering if you could liquid cool the electrical components like you would do for a PC.
I love the look of this bike but I absolutely hate the motor placement. I understand it’s meant for more paved roads but it just begs the question of why the design looks like it’s meant for off road?
change the controller out with a kelly it Won't have that problem any more plug and play with more power
They're sending you a bigger controller? I thought you coukd just go into the app and turn it up to at least 10k without needing to buy anything, I thought you turned it up already did you turn it back down to 8kw
As this was a pre-production model we sent him, it only has a 300 amp controller. We are sending him the 400amp controller that will feature in the production version of the e-clipse that will ship to customers.
@@SolarScootersuk that's awesome. Feel like sending me one by any chance?
You can crank up the rpm max limits, but I do not see a way to actually increase the amperage pulled from the battery. It runs out of power before it is able to achieve the highest unlocked rpm’s. It might not be a bad thing, makes for great range and steady good power, just not going to throw you into warp mode at the expense of draining the battery hyper quick
@@SolarScootersuk will you be selling a version with street tires instead of off-road tires? The weight and specs are perfect for commuting in the city
@@c2thew yes they’ll be two versions: Street and Enduro
the motor randomly cuts out? wtf
40 miles and still have 37% is insane, want one so bad
I did 45 miles today similar route, had 35% left, need to go for max range soon, I feel it could do 60 or more if I didn’t climb mountains and floor it everywhere
@@JuicedJoyrides Yeah its really nice range, is it possible to put pedals on it?
The Denzel samurai the frame was designed for had a rear hub version with pedals called the gladiator I believe. Whether the gladiator makes a similar reappearance is a mystery though. It's possible and this frame would probably replace the bomber style frames if it did.
Actually, this tool can do 200 km, but it is not efficient :)
How fast is top speed?
60 mph
So far what I’ve gathered on the Eclipse from these vids
Cons:
Poor brakes, sketchy tires, incorrect speedometer, incorrect battery voltage and has turned off completely at random multiple times. As well as being almost useless off-road with the vulnerable motor & it’s extra weight.
Pros:
Performs well on road, lightweight and street legal potential.
I messaged solar about a bash guard they say will be releasing in the coming weeks. Also added the motor is covered under warranty if any physical damage happens. Idk if it’s worth it?
This is pretty accurate really. I wouldn’t say it’s useless off road, but I wouldn’t use it for anything more than light trails. I’ve been using it on the street a lot. It’s been my favorite new toy and getting comfortable riding it, it’s great around town and feels stable at 50 mph. I’m chilling on a bench by the beach after 40 more miles in the mountains.
Do you need a license to drive one of these? I guess a better question is what class of E-Bike is this??
license required, and plates, to be legal anyway haha
So you do need an M1 or M2 license to ride this on the streets? Can you still ride it on the bike paths?
@@zhector3 I'm curious about this too!
u should get street tires 100%
I'd be dragging pegs on that road! Get some knee pads and give it hell!
Can the controller be watercooled?
I understand it's not the final retail version but there is a disturbing amount of footage of this bike dying on people while riding
😆 I know right, I think they will have it sorted out, seems to happen once a ride for me and I have no explanation why
@@JuicedJoyrides I am a new owner of an Eclipse as well. Mine loses throttle as well. Like you said...they are sending out replacement Controllers. Those will be 400 amp opposed to the 300 it shipped with. Looking forward to that. I don't have the app to unlock the max RPM. It's frustrating because when I hit that max the bike jitters and shakes. All that said...LOVE THIS BIKE!
Water boils at 100c

This is the forth video showing the power cut out from that poorly designed kickstand switch! Delete it!!!
Heeeyyy.. this guys voice sounds just like @TailHappyTV... 😂😂
Juiced is my evil twin brother. Stop copying my voice dude.
@@TailHappyTV
I'll tell him to pull his head in. It's unacceptable behaviour.
You look tall, i’m 6’3 , is this bike confortable for tall people?
