Can You Ride An E Bike In A RAINSTORM!? | Talaria Sting Ebike In A Downpour

[@S416RE]

Well here's the answer to everyone who thinks can't ride an Ebike in the rain This was the ultimate test 😂👍‍

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Hahaha absolutely! Man it performed flawlessly. Even off-road for a second.

[@S416RE]

@@haveagoodoneyt Yea i say even ripped around the half moon lol

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@@S416RE you know it!

[@codeloch]

i'd be scared of having someone jack that thing into a back of a truck but appreciate the rain vid!

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Dude I had that fear everyday at work. One time another bike parked in front of it perfectly so I couldn’t see my bike and my heart just dropped 😂 thank god it wasn’t actually stolen. Thanks for watching and thanks for the support!

[@CAMO-hb8wc]

Like the Talaria even more, subscription earned, lol 😎

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Hahaha thank you very much! 🤙🏻

[@emikearizona]

Another reason to love my Talaria - thank you

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Enjoy!

[@kalvinsmall3843]

Yes ,love my talaria ❤

[@jbid9999]

Thanks

[@johntompkins9282]

That's awesome! Great video 📷💯🔥👍

[@wigeon111]

Surprised to see you left your bike outside like that.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Only place I trust it not locked up is in front of a Cycle Gear next to other bikes

[@voodoochild6741]

Thanks for the content! Well done.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

I appreciate it, thank you!

[@lazydust2562]

Really glad I found you channel. I just got my Talaria and would like to kno how it is other weather conditions. Def gave a sub. I look to record more footage. Looking forward to sharing some ebike tips and tricks. Thanks for posting

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Thanks for subbing man! It’s been great in every condition I’ve put it through. So far I haven’t found anything that can stop it.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@LifeOfSuspect yes sir. Still going strong with no issues

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@LifeOfSuspect yea for sure. matt_mclaughing

[@johnmaldonado3909]

My man you are nuts but still another great video

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Hahaha thank you!

[@AlexMint]

I ride a cheaper e-bike, and it's absolutely miserable in the rain but it's certainly doable. I always have to remember to bring my good boots when I do it though.

[@BoozySZN]

You've got a lot of trust in your city, no lock on the bike and leaving it out in the open? That's wild 😂😂😂

[@markusk.488]

Just was driving in 30cm or 1 foot deep powder snow and that was such a great feeling but now I'm wondering if the Talaria is watertight but thanks to your video I'm sure that this won't hurt the Bike 😁🤘

[@RelaRunsIt]

The FJ cruiser jacket is dope!

[@hklabr]

it looks fun

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Weirdly, it was a ton of fun

[@johnballerino9172]

Nothing like real time to prove a point.

[@iamme2522]

Damn bro, that’s a nice cycle gear. One by my house looks like a good will lol

[@haveagoodoneyt]

For sure. It’s a pretty special store

[@ShadowRifft]

Dang, normally, like 3 extended brakings would remove the water unless there's residue on the brake pads and disc. It's Alot Safer to give them a quick wipe down before heading out in the rain on an EBike.👍

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Yea I thought it was weird that they almost never cleared too. I was thinking that maybe the stock pads are porous and soak up the water. Just a theory 🤷‍♂️

[@TresXTre]

Hey man, never been to your channel before but I thoroughly enjoyed this video. From the beginning it was great. lol and your laughing and shit in the stormy ride home 😂. Loved it man haha

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Thanks so much for watching man! I’m glad you enjoyed it as much as I did. So much fun doing dumb stuff on this bike! 😂

[@MsDibbleDabble]

Is there anything you can do to better prepare your brakes for rain ?

[@father_and_son]

What happens later with the motor?

[@johnwhitney7802]

No problems later? Like kick stand sensor?

[@MsDibbleDabble]

How has the motor and electronics held up after riding in the rain after some time was the motor ok?

[@johnwhitney7802]

Hitting 65mph what you got on that bike bro? How much you weigh?

[@jahvontaim3219]

Currently testing this, my talaria x3 is sitting outside in the Kansas storm that'll be going for about 11 hours straight on my 10 hour warehouse shift. I'll give you guys an update on my stupid experiment.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

How’d it go?

[@jahvontaim3219]

@haveagoodoneyt I completely forgot I commented on this ngl😂 I went out after my shift and turned on the bike thinking I was gonna get some kind of error on the speedometer screen, but to my surprise the bike turned on and took me home from my job at amazon no problem. So it is very water resistant, but definitely let it dry before charging👍👍

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@@jahvontaim3219 bad ass! Smart on the charging too

[@ramlinman2004]

Riding an electric dirt bike is as exciting as watching the grass grow....Gen Z😂

[@Itsnotthatdeep1]

Did you just wait a little while til it dried to turn off the braker ? I take my battery out because it’s winter here so wanted to know what to do if I ride in rain

[@richardherrera8359]

Getting one soon is there a lock I can buy so no one steals it or does it need to key to turn it on

[@TheGribbleNator]

Get a rotor lock with a loud alarm on it.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

It needs a key to be started. Of course it can be rolled away or even just picked up in a truck bed or van. So like @yodawassith said a disc lock with an alarm is a really solid and practical deterrent.

[@infinitee3991]

What kind of bike is that ? I need to get me one lol

[@zachfpv4493]

Should be fine just saw a guy ride through a river on his talaria with water up to the bars.and he dropped it in the middle and had to turn it off and restart because of the tip sensor.not recommended to fully submerge but I have seen a sur-ron do the same so it seems like water isn't too much of an issue?

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Couldn’t agree more. Of course I rode in that torrential downpour, I’ve ridden through the ocean, and pressure washed my Talaria. I don’t think it cares about water

[@Ragnarock227]

Ive ridden both my Rad and Quietkat in the rain on the way home.... not fun, but doable.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

It was fun once but everyday it would get old fast. How is the quietkat? I’ve really only seen them in hunting videos

[@Ragnarock227]

@@haveagoodoneyt really nice and a tough bike. Not a speed demon by any means though. Im looking to put away for either a talaria or the sur-ron eventually

[@OregonMotorcycle]

That’s a huge Cycle Gear. Geez.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

It’s the biggest one in the country. We keep over 2,000 helmets on display at all times.

[@keegshop4571]

I was wondering why it looked so familiar and then I realized it’s the one in Katy where I bought my helmet

[@vjexxxs7198]

I should be getting the L1e soon, just waiting for the letter, its basically the same thing as mx4 just road legal. And im very glad to see this video cause i wasn't too sure about that. The fact that it was in the rain for 2-3 hours is fcking nuts i love it

[@randomyoutubeuser23]

You need a motorcycle license to ride these on the road, right? Do they have to be registered and insured? I really want to buy one, but kind of worried about the legality of em.

[@Itsnotthatdeep1]

Depends where you live. I live in RI and you don’t need registration, insurance or anything lol, I ride the street, sidewalk, parks, with no issue so far

[@luiscano98]

Awesome video! I’ve been wanting to get a Talaria for a while now. Can you just ride it out of the box as an e-bike on the street? That “legal” Part worries me a bit since there are so many gray areas.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

So uhh… you kinda nailed it with the “gray area” comment. I’d say technically no simply because no pedals. That being said. Technically in eco mode it classifies as a class 2, without pedal assist. Legally I think a cop might have something if you’re being a jerk but as long as you play it cool, give plenty of space to pedestrians and overall just be respectful then there shouldn’t be a problem. I talked to an officer about it and he said ,”This is Houston. We have bigger problems than someone riding their electric bike in a park.” Just ride politely, think about the visual side (how people perceive you), and spread the love. People always want to know about these bikes and they are super happy just to come up and chat with me about mine! 🤙🏻

[@luiscano98]

Got it! Thank you so much for that explanation!

[@haveagoodoneyt]

@@luiscano98 no problem! 🤙🏻

[@zack-qc4uy]

​@@luiscano98they should have a vin number just get it registered

[@johnwhitney7802]

70mph what’s the hell? How

[@willparsons32]

The biggest fear a bike thief has is a sudden deternt be it someone asking what the @#$& are you doing to the bike or a loud audible noise coming from the bike which in turn, gets peoples attention - especially the owner of the bike. Paddle lock mechanisms of ANY kind that simply lock the bike up don't get peoples attention and are easily broken henceforth, a stolen bike!

[@bmlaforge]

Great way to get struck by lightning.

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Got lucky for sure

[@JayOh]

You in canada?

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Nah, I'm in Texas

[@S-420]

If you do this on a daily basis it'll work until one day it just won't

[@davidhall2569]

With the battery the metal and the electronics all getting along with you sitting on it you're a human lightning rod compared to being safer in a car it's Russian roulette when you're riding out there In a thunderstorm showers and steady rain are okay but riding in a thunderstorm is suicide in the wrong place at the wrong lightning bolt time 🌩️⚡🏍️ 😂

[@chip3090]

u leave ur talaria in the parking lot unlocked for hours? how does it not get stolen?? lmaoo

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Dude honestly I feel lucky sometimes

[@S-420]

And also that is not an e-bike e-bikes have petals that is a motorcycle this is the reason they are now banning e-bikes stop it

[@ayeketchup]

good to know. you got a sub. 🤌🏽

[@haveagoodoneyt]

Aye! Thank you!
