The chain skips if you only pedal that's not a good thing that sounds like a manufacturer defect that they didn't fix that that should not happen at all at any time

[@kirkslayden834]

Oh yeah that's too much I've been looking at one that's dual motor for the same price and I believe they're 1,000 w motors I really would like something that goes at least 37 to 38 miles per hour great video thank you and God bless

I have this bike! I love it! I’m glad i waited for the full suspension model. I’m glad i pre-ordered it (which made it cheaper) I’m glad i waited through the multiple delays. At the end of the day it’s a nice bike. I quite enjoy 😊

Thanks man! ❤ Your video came in timely! I’ve been banking on your reviews as I decide on which ebike to soon purchase. But I agree with you that the retail pricing is a bit steep for just a 750W motor with competitors under

[@dakine5331]

@@vardanfitness7866 I was thinking of buying the "Ristretto 512" since it came out, but it's a bit on the pricey side, but still I would buy it just because it looks like they actually took the time to design the bike, and actually made it with high quality parts like the shocks, frame, etc. Although, the seat kind of looks like it's rushed, just the fact that it looks uncomfortable.

[@georgejarasa1736]

@@dakine5331 yes the 512 current seat is uncomfortable. Good for a quick run only but after 5mi it’ll hurt. I tried the 512 out and to my disappointment, they told me that they’ll have the new seat for demo and it wasn’t available yet. I was shown a video and the new seat doesn’t look substantial maybe another 1”

[@onceuponareset-ho7fg]

23:45. Please do a video explaining/showing why this rear suspension is "bad ass". The rear suspension is the only thing on about the whole bike that throws the design aesthetics off (for me) somewhat. It just looks like a cheap-ish afterthought to me. What about the rear suspension make it so good? Please show us the travel of the rear suspension under your weight. I've yet to see a video that gives any details about the rear suspension. Thanks for the video.

[@ralphazard9427]

Great video. I was waiting for someone to cover FS model.

[@KeepingItFishy]

Thinking about getting this deluxe version or the pro! 👀

[@jimjr9143]

Seems very expensive for 750 watts 20ah . Good thing about competition is it helps to see when a product might be over priced. Compare with Lyric Graffiti . Ariel Rider .etc (Weight is quite a lot for an ebike equipped with 750watt motor). Just got to the part where the motor does not cut off right away when you let off the throttle . That is a huge no, frankly does not make sense. Accident waiting to happen ?

[@MrCentralDriver]

1800w peak. I like that the label says 750w so it keeps you out of trouble if you got pulled over since 750w is the limit here. i've reviewed bikes that have 1400w motors that can't make it up that hill test. it's marketing at the end of the day. this is a powerful high end component ebike. but of course it won't be for everybody. if you're looking for pure performance without the high end parts or high quality build go with ariel rider. if u want something similar to this but this is too expensive, look at the revv1. if you want something with a huge aftermarket community go with super73. looking to stay under 1000 go with the macfox x1 or lectric xp 3.0

[@jimjr9143]

I just looked up the revv1 . That’s more like it. $2400 . $500 for second battery. That’s what i mean by checking out the competition. I like the lyric Graffiti. Even the talaria x3 is only $3250 . Now it looks like a dirt bike but this here looks close to a motor bike. With motor cycle head light. Both will draw attention either way. So in the end it will come down to specs compared to what you get for those specs for your money. Right now people are not willing to spend much money. I see right now most all e-bikes discounted or on sale. Spending is not what it used to be. So that is as well a huge factor right now. As always i like watching your videos a lot. Very informative for sure. And i list anything i write as just my opinion. Look forward to the next video. On the class 2 or 3 sticker. A lot of these have various setting to reduce power any ways. People are riding all these e-bikes all over . Regardless of 500 watts or modified to 5000 watts. Most will never have any issue as long as they ride with respect . I ride around my 10000 watt max scooter and no one pays me any attention. Ride around cops every now and then . It’s all about respect and in 99% of cases you will not have any issue.

[@sety409]

You need an off road section. Love the channel bro, hope you can full time this soon.

[@Scottyman99]

Torn between this and the Rev1 strictly for off-road hunting, so stealth and torque are high priorities. I'd love the better suspension of the A Deluxe, but the price and the very annoying need to use the app to use off-road mode...I'd like to see if the Rev 1 (you mentioned) off- road model will up the power a bit and use better suspension. Can the fork on the Rev1 be upgraded provided the frame specs permit it? The rear shock should be easily upgraded, right? Is there room to upgrade the battery on the A Deluxe? 20Ah seems small--especially if I use the bike mostly in cold weather.

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

I think that for that price point, the motor should be 1000w minimum... 750w is very average. I have a dual 1000w front and rear ebike, and I paid about $1600 if I'm not mistaken. But I do like how that ebike look...🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

[@MrCentralDriver]

Keep in mind this is 52v and peaks at 1800w. Many bikes out there that will say 1200-1400w and not climb up that same little dirt hill. I like it saying 750w for legal reasons because that’s the max allowed here

It’s definitely a beautiful bike aesthetically, and a pricey one. Those batteries… so expensive compared to the competitions. To other things 1) at that price fenders should be metal not plastic. One spill, and those things are toast. And 2) I’ve never seen a rear rack attached to the rear triangle of a rear suspension bike. By the time you get home, your milk will have been turned into a milkshake. 😂😂 it needs to be attached to through hexagonal tube underneath the seat like the Revv1.

[@willneedwater]

I wanted to vent. The Surrons and Talarias that have NOT had the wires cut are street legal when they only go 25 mph. When you have to open up and start cutting things then your illegal. All the laws in each state are pretty much the same they can't go over 750W. So these ebike before the cutting are only able to push probably 750W. So the law only applys to those ebikes that have been modified. Thats the way i red the handbook.

[@MrCentralDriver]

surrons and talarias aren't legal regardless how fast you go unless you add pedals to them. foot pegs are not considered an ebike. there is no chain to pedal, making it a non pedal e-bike and not legal for bike lanes. if you keep it under 28 mph which is the law here and have pedals you will probably be fine. If your caught on one of those bikes without pedals you can get a ticket if the cop really wants to. Only way around keeping the pegs on is just ride it and hope to not get caught which i did for the longest, cops in my area don't care really but other places tow them. or register it as a moped with plates and be legal.

[@RAZORWlND]

I like this one, but agree price is high. Should be $2000 and THEN it's a super competitive price point!!.. Giving height reference on seat based on your own height, but don't say how tall you are. Also, the bike moving after you stop peddling is a non-issue if you know how the brake sensors work. Brake sensors are on the bike for that very reason. Next time you are on any e bike with brake sensors, gently tap brakes and try and use peddle assist or throttle. Nothing will work. Brake sensors stop motor from engaging entirely. So next time you don't want the bike ghost throttling even in peddle assist, tap brakes at same time. Takes a bit to get used to but when you know to hit brakes to kill motor, it's an EZ fix for issue. Instead of removing links in chain, get a little bit bigger front sprocket, this will help reduce ghost peddling and fix the loose chain issue, without messing with taking links out. :)
