I have been searching for a video like this on the Outset. THANK YOU! I’ve been comparing E-motorcycles for the last 5 months because I’m getting ready to pull the trigger on one and since the Outset came up on my radar, it’s jumped to the top of my list and this video helps with my decision. So thanks again for your vids!

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

Between the two videos, I think you did a GREAT job reviewing the Outset ... THANKS.

[@driveandjump]

There is a “secret” storage spot for the cord. Under the seat there’s a two velcro strap. You can wrap it up and store it there. I use that spot for a foldable backpack spare, but carry my cord in my normal riding backpack.

[@abovewongart]

This bike is bootiful. I must get one.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

Nice and everything.. I don't think I would feel engaged , not shifting or listening to the motor and exhaust. Just engaged planning my next battery refill 😂

[@laksjdfhghfhdkskdjfh]

Yay ive been waiting for this video. 🎉

[@DanielLopes-jt8yl]

As always great information! Even though the bike is more then I need it was a great watch. Hope you had a great 4th and nice shirt. I’m in Benicia CA and the 4th is a “two day” parade one day fireworks celebration‼️

[@ProspectorTripp]

I would devise a lock for the battery. Having to disconnect any battery every day roll or carry it somewhere to charge it. Then roll it back and reinstall it. Is a drag and problematic. Such as simple wear and tear on high current connectors. It's best to find a safe place to park and plug. Overall, it looks very nice and well designed. Thanks sir enjoyed Peace Prospector Tripp

[@kcaddy87]

It has a combination lock built into the battery

[@mattmiller4917]

It's bizarre that the anti-EV commenters feel compelled to share the same opinion over and over and over on videos about bikes they know they don't want anyway. Also weird they just can't grasp that some people want different things from a bike than they do.

[@phillyblazen1736]

Right on!!!

[@mattmiller4917]

Can you comment on how comfortable the ride is? How's that saddle? How does it compare to the saddle for the Anthem? Thanks!

[@jimmcdees1341]

Hey I'm a single dad with custody of my youngest daughter and she's getting to the age where she doesn't want to ride regular bikes with dad anymore 😢. My question is I don't have alot of money at all to work with and I'm wondering where I could get ahold of a pair of e bikes at a good price I can Maybe afford. Possibly you could point me in that direction? I'd really like to have something to help connect with my daughter again and I sure can't afford these things I see mostly online! Thanks in advance.

[@cocoabiscuits]

They're almost there. Still some real concerns with speed, commuting and battery. I.e. having 64% battery one day not charging for the next you may have to find an alternative route you won't be able to travel downtown high speeds that the bike will struggle to keep because the battery percentage. That plus the typical range anxiety. I wouldn't want to top off charge to 100% each day. I do like removable battery to store in the winter seasons though. Can't leave something like that exposed to Midwest heat and cold temperatures in my garage.

[@applechili2848]

The Anthem’s not a bad choice; there are only a handful of e-moto’s that come close to it given its value & bang-for-the-buck.

[@Area13ebikes]

It's one of the best deals on emotos right now.

[@obeii1805]

Very awesome bike , probably the best in its class , I’d rode a land and it range/speed wasn’t enough for the 12k price tag , never rode a zero fx but I’m sure this bike is the better choice and half the price . Definitely better than my crappy rcr which I see as overpriced. Let’s see how rumble predator play, definitely need to get a review on it. I think ppl looking at this bike should wait until the predator is compared..

[@RandomMotoThings]

12k? My land moto with the biggest battery was 10k. Longer range than this bike for sure

[@lamo6271]

@@RandomMotoThings what are you getting for range with the biggest battery? I think your 10k was probably after the price reduction since it was originally 12k. For 4k extra compared to the Outset, definitely would hope that the performance/range is at least $4k better. Seems like it has less power, lower top speed, single rider, slower charger, etc. etc.. just more dollars.

[@RandomMotoThings]

@@lamo6271 you get more range with land Moto big battery than you do with Ryvid. It’s also accelerates faster (although I never rode the outset version with the asi controller). Ryvid claims about 5mph higher top speed but what I’ve noticed is that I can get up to 75 on my land Moto and its sustained no matter where I’m at in battery percentage whereas as on the Ryvid bikes, your top speed goes down once your bike is under 50% and even more after 20% which is not ideal considering the battery drains much faster than the land Moto. I get atleast 25-30 more miles driving the same as what I’m seeing in this video. I average anywhere between 60-70 miles while staying in mode 3 at all times varying between 35 mph to 60-65 around my city.

[@RandomMotoThings]

@@lamo6271also keep in mind that it’s 10k after all my fees including delivery, registration which they do for you online if you choose, etc. The higher range is a must so for me the range and the way it feels is worth the extra money in comparison. I can assure you the cost would be huge if you wanted to get a bigger battery for the Ryvid in the future. As it stands, the cost makes sense with the bigger battery capacity and it’s pushing a smaller bike weight wise so keep that in mind.

[@edge2991]

Whats the battery replacement protection for ryvid like

[@arturoavalos5939]

It's not bad for short trips, and the price is quite reasonable. However, I think I'll wait for a version with a 125-mile range, so I can realistically get at least 75 miles of range in real-world conditions

[@FloridaVolts]

Maybe the cell they using. That causes the performance to be so low. You can get a 50ah molicel battery to go 70-100 mile at 50mph

[@ikennanw]

Land district or ryvid anthem?

[@chesteryao]

What is the seat height on the Outset? I know the Anthem has an adjustable seat height.

[@xPRxMEx]

Love your video man! I’m so torn 😭 I’m a bigger guy (360-400lbs) looking to get his first electric bike and I’m highly debating the Outset, the Eahora M1PS and I jus found the NEW Power Goat HULK 5000w! Please look into the Hulk 5kw. I was leaning toward the Eahora at first but the Hulk is cheaper and more powerful!?!! 👀 let me kno what you think! 🙏🏼

[@Area13ebikes]

Outset is by far the best bike. Goat seems like a good value if you don't mind the ugly looks!

[@xPRxMEx]

@@Area13ebikes I’ll def look more into the Outset. Please do a review on the Hulk 5K! Put it up against the M1PS 😍 congrats on getting the Bikes registered! FINALLY! Haha right?!?

[@ferdinand2365]

How much does the battery weigh?

[@Riley_1955]

65 lbs and if you what a spare it's $4,000.

[@Snyphen356]

I think rider weight makes a large difference 😅

[@davecook81]

💯‼️💙

[@RedSinter]

🎉 Again, Kyle this looks sweet and I would think they will sell quite well. And if some of the newer battery formulations trickle down this all gets better and better. So, the pregnant question is how much for a spare battery to have for a quick swap out while the other charges? And at its present state I could commute to SF to a job I might take no problem. It's a 40 plus round trip, but I'd have charging available at the shop so no Pro Blema. You could also get a small handle bar bag for charger cord.

[@Area13ebikes]

Batteries aren't cheap! But they are working on bringing the battery cost down quite a lot. Can't say the rough figures I was told but it was very reasonable for spares.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

Probably best to get a 500cc and spend $6 in gas for that range. Such as a Rebel 500

[@lamo6271]

I mean if you are talking dollars, it's only 69 cents per charge on average in the US, that's significantly less than 6 dollars for the same range.

[@JohnBabcock-qy1cs]

@@lamo6271 Not as practical for going out all day riding with real motorcycles. Or going up to the cottage 250 miles.

[@lamo6271]

@@JohnBabcock-qy1cs definitely not the use case for that type of riding.

[@DragonSomx-h3g]

Garcia Jason White Ronald Miller Richard

[@Leon-vp3vb]

So, around 1500watts is sweet spot for motor and range. But problem is 30mph speed limit. Unpopular opinion but, it probably need at least 3 gears, with big ratio difference to turn 1500watts into 50 or 60mph.

Thanks for the information. Not enough range for mile 85% highway 50 mile round trip commute. Maybe the next generation will finally get there. If I could reliably charge at work I might be able to do it but I don't think it is possible.

This has the largest problem that all electric motorcycles have...you can go 100 miles (Livewire), and it's great, but takes forever to charge so it's not good for a daytrip, only a commute. Thanks

[@lamo6271]

exactly! that's why it should be 6k instead of 16k.

[@LeeAyzahn]

69 Miles at 1%... Nice

[@DigitalPlaygroundTV]

Hi, just gt my Anthem with the new controller of course last Tuesday and I have tt say this bikes is well built and also very fast. Hope they make a battery with more range in a future because as you say the fun of it is riding it in sports mode and the range is not too much on it. Off topic question since you have a shop, what confortable and flexible gloves you recommend me ? I bought Sedici Marco 2 gloves and I think who sold them to me give me the wrong size because he told me that they stretch over time or they just are too hard because I feel the too tight.

[@DesuVR]

I plan on getting a Ryvid when my Onyx eventually craps out, hope they stick around for many years to come!

@@DesuVR still gas is the more practical transportation, I started on electric, I get it , but reality is reality.. everything mechanical need service to maintain its mechanical function .. don’t u need food and sleep? anything that moves in motion need maintenance.. those cells in those batteries don’t last long enough and soon enough the performance on those e motorcycle will be that of a e bike , swapping cell can be expensive if u have to take it to a shop , or better yet replacing a battery period cus bad cells causes more bad cells ..and don’t forget about aftermarket parts , and repairs etc .. you’ll be forced to deal with the company unless your mechanical gifted, these e motorcycle come with much more that no1 talks about that you’ll only learn from being a long term owner when they don’t act right .. And when they act up and they do much more than gas bikes believe it or not , it’s hell trying to get them up and running again unless you can do it all yourself without voiding any warranty..

[@GONZALJ8]

@DesuVR I’m with you on a couple things. The low maintenance low noise equaling being able to go on and off road with the outset without upsetting people and getting unwanted visits from law enforcement because of noise complaints is the way to go. Not only that but basic city urban commuting, this will work perfectly. Also! I love my RCR. I’ve had mine for years and use it more than my Silverado for around town. But now I want more power haha.

[@Wo9i7sj5l2a]

I'd love if you could test and bench the Cycrun Cycknight. It's a 20x4 fat Tire ebike peak 750w Other brands carry the same bike. Ex: Fiido M1 is the same thing. Different skin

Saw the previous video and was waiting for this one. I live in Middle Tennessee and just going from home to work is 11.1 miles at a mix of 70, 65, and 55 mph zones. I really want an Electric bike but man am I weary of the low range they get. Even just trying to get to Nashville is 87 miles away. Hopefully these batteries get better.

[@Area13ebikes]

If you need the seat height adjustment or prefer the looks buy the anthem and get it now. 😀 I think I'll be waiting for an outset.

[@Tweak42]

The Outset comes with the upgraded ASI controller ($800 value) if you order by July 31st. Technically you could add the seat mechanism at a later date, but I'm not sure what that would cost. Ask about the upgraded controller when you do your test ride, hopefully they have both models available to try out.

[@DigitalPlaygroundTV]

@@Tweak42 yes that’s my main issue that the Anthem doesn’t come with that controller and when I add the $1,300 extra that would cost the bike end up costing $7,800 basically for the same bike. The thing in my case is that by the time I get the Outset who knows how much time I have of summer time here in Chicago to ride it because when the temperature goes down it will be stored until next year 🥴.

[@DigitalPlaygroundTV]

@@Area13ebikes Question I'm ready to order my Anthem, should I get the Dunlop tires or the thinner Pirelli ones? I won't do any off road but I think the Dunlop look nicer that the thinner ones. I heard it could impact the range about 5 miles if I take the thicker ones.

[@RussellHank-t3t]

If and when it's 96 volts and can be DC charged directly from my 48-volt solar charge controller, I'm buying it. Until then the money is sitting in the bank. Another acceptable solution is a DC solar charging system that is just compatible without any inverter circuitry. I won't work with people who don't address real-world problems with well designed solutions. Off-grid charging should exist in the most efficient way possible.

[@quefreemind5698]

The exponential range from off is maybe the biggest turn off for me from electric motos. I understand you can't cheat physics, but it's a huge deal breaker.
