VMoto Stash full ride review | Electric motorbike vs commute

Apologies in advance for the sound quality in some of the later onboard sections - I was battling some technical issues but hopefully you can get the gist! Thanks! /Dan

It's refreshing to see a respectable english man do motor bike reviews & rides. You speaking while riding makes your content gripping. Have you considered doing an electric (stand up) scooter 🛴 review for medium distances to change things up nicely? Warm regards from London 🙂 (I recomend the Punk Rider Pro, has Throttle Regen braking 👌

Interesting video m8. It was good to see someone doing a real world test rather than just a ten minute ride and sales talk. Unfortunately, the combination of price, the poor range and the inability to use public chargers will hold back electric bikes a lot for the foreseeable future. Even in the area where they would compete well, in the city, it is just not viable given the cost.

24:50 It's not limp mode or are you joking?

[@midlifecrisismotorcyclist]

@@Deliver-Fool Honestly, that was full throttle and as much as it had to give at that point. I suspect it must have dialled the power back because the battery was so low.

​@@midlifecrisismotorcyclistYou are smart but you don't understand how batteries work as related to vehicles sir. There is no such thing as limp mode. The reason you recieved less speed is 2 fold. 1) Your Battery power at the end of the trip was very low which means that the total energy available to power the electrical components limits your machine to perform optimally (like out of breath for a human) 2) You were going up-hill with almost no energy, therefore the power needed exponentially increases to push 200kg+ of weight. Hope that helped, you have a good KZbin channel. 🙂

Very honest review. Thankyou. At the 25 minute mark ride up that hill told me all I need to know. My Honda cbf125 cost $3,000 Australia dollars in January 2024 uses 1.5 litre per 100 KMs so a 10 litre tank goes over 500 KMs.

23:10 Actually, if you were on a 50CC, you would not get anywhere near 60-70 miles of range due to the limitating relationship of battery power & motor power(speed), therefore by logical consequence, you are incorrect as you would not get home from Manchester if you had a 50CC for this journey.

I'm struggling to see the reason for this bike. Clearly it's an urban commuter but costs £6k. I see kids flying round town on electric bicycles with no insurance, tax or helmets for that matter and a fraction of that price.

What a complete waste of time and money 😡🐑🇵🇭🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿⭐
