I think hunting would be a huge market for electric bike and especially swapable batteries, the quietness would be well suited to the job but i think a company would have to lower the price significantly hunters aren’t either willing or able to spend a lot on thing to get to and from a blind/tree stand. One priced around 2-3500 would be perfect

Most hunters ride/drive very far away to do their hunting and not risk shoot other people. Most electric EVs can't get the spots on 1 or 2 batteries let alone return back to their gas vehicles. Off-road eats up batteries milage. Add on hills, mountains, etc EVs aren't good for hunting trips.

@@StardustADV ... Most hunters I know drive the trucks to a certain point. Park. Then ride bikes or quads up to 30-40 miles on rough trails, hills, mountains, etc to reach their actual hunting location. Places trucks can't go of course. That EV fat wheel won't make those journeys. It will run out battery quickly off-road. Most hunters would need 3-4 batteries or more to transverse the wilderness. Nevermind the added weight returning with Wild Game in tow with the Moose, Hogs, etc will eat up the battery mileage even more.

Honestly, I'd prefer a TW200 or even a Honda Trail for the purposes they attribute to this bike. Plus, the TW has the advantage of being road legal. It's alot cheaper than $8K and can range a hell of a lot further. The fellas did touch breifly on one purpose for the Grunt that they could have spent more time on. It would be terrific for hunting and fishing. They briefly mention it, but think of this. Any offroad oriented TW200 type of bike could do it. BUT...not as quietly as an electric. You'd put out so much less noise with this bike. If I got one, I'd take it to the start of the trail in my truck and from there I'd be almost as quiet as if I was using my mountain bike, but without the pedaling. I live in B.C. so that's normally ALOT of uphill pedaling to get where I go. But on the Grunt it's faster without the energy required for pedaling which saves your legs for spot and stalk hunting once you get to your hunting area. I mainly use my quad for that or mountain bike if I need to be quiet and it's not too far. If Volcon was smart, they'd come out with a bike trailer like the one you can get with the Quietkat Ranger electric bicycles. Then a hunter could haul gear in for a spike camp and haul a successful harvest out. A Queitkat can also be pedaled out if it runs out of juice. But they are damned expensive for what they are. Range is a problem with the electrics though. A spare battery for the Grunt is helpful with that, but still, a TW200 will do the same, be road legal, get so much more range and is significantly cheaper. My quad is great and can haul gear and game. But that Volcon could be stealthy. That would be a great selling point to market to hunters and fishers. But the lack of range and ability to haul gear and game won't have me trading in my quad for one. I'd get one as a second option to my quad though if it was cheaper than $8K. It would also give another meaning to "taking a Grunt in the woods".

50 horsepower is just over 37,000 watts. You have a 2,000 watt hour battery. That means it could put out 2,000 watts for 1 hour. 20,000 watts would drain the battery in 6 minutes. 37,000 watts would kill it in just over 3 minutes (and that's if you drained the battery all the way down, which isn't great to do). Of course, no one will ride full power non stop, but hard riding would drain this thin in no time at all. It's cool, but that's a very heavy and powerful bike for such a tiny battery. My electric unicycle has about the same sized battery and only weighs 60 pounds.

I love this video precisely because it gets the point of why EVs are misunderstood. They are a superior technology, but the energy density just isn't there to crunch highway miles - highway riding, especially if you want to go up to (and little bit past) the speed of traffic is *extremely* energy intensive. But the other side to that the appropriately sized battery can be charged quickly and you can literally charge them anywhere this is power. Out in the boonies with solar? Can be a problem for gas, but not for EV. For city slickers, the best application is going to be mopeds and scooters. I know it's dorky here, but I have a Burgman 200, but just to have that massive underseat storage where I can fit my backpack, groceries, a couple full faced helmets, that alone is deciding factor between whether I take my Burgman or my Zero: do I have wear a backpack? If yes, I take the Burgman and toss it under the seat instead. If I could have the Burgman in an EV package, that would *perfect* for bopping around town/errands/short commutes. And having swappable batteries is a huge boon for other applications, especially off-road.
@jkf91672 жыл бұрын
I can't help wondering whether a transmission would help electronic bikes on the highway. The deficits tend to be speed and range, whereas low-speed torque is seldom a problem. Wouldn't this be amenable to gearing up? I wonder whether EMC bike makers are too enamored with the no-transmission model.
@jerm10272 жыл бұрын
@@jkf9167 Well most bikes do have a single speed transmission - it's a gear reduction, hence the globs of torque. Most motors can spin silly fast, with nearly flat torque curves, and they don't have the same parasitic losses gasoline engines do where the faster they spin the more power they lose to friction. So in most cases, the benefits are insignificant if they're there at all, and if they are, the added weight and complexity of a multi-geared transmission will offset any benefit. In extreme performance applications, there can worthwhile benefits, but for most uses, a single speed is more than sufficient.

1. Great review! That looks like a blast! 2. Could someone lend yam and his team 2020+ Energica to review?

Nice hobby ride! *But* I love ICE bikes on the street. Especially considering they give 40-60mph depending on bike and the lack of any exhaust “symphony” would take away from safety and riding experience.

Would be a fun bike for sure, but I'm not trading my TW200 for it. It's way too utilitarian to let go. If this bike had bigger range and weighed less than 250 lbs at about $6.5K ish then it would really get my attention. I know, too much to ask for but that's what it would take to win over the gas powered competition.

Spike should take a look at Gogoro in Taiwan, swappable batteries on mopeds that are made like something from Apple. Loads of battery swap places around town, 80km on one charge…

I live in northern Nevada, we have lots of mountainous areas and would love the chance to try it out here to see life a d time it would run.

Your right, every progression is made by small, cheap simple things that gain widespread adoption that then develop further from there, the electric bike phenomenon is backwards from the norm. Wow what a little ripper of a bike, thats a Sasquatch catcher if ive ever seen one!

Nooooope. Not interested. Here's why: An electric motorcycle is road legal and can be insured. A gas motorcycle is road legal and can be insured. A gas dirt bike can be insured. An electric mountain bike is covered by renters insurance. But an outright electric bike/motorcycle that isn't road legal and has no pedals, has ZERO insurance options. Unless you guys can enlighten me. I've had a Sur Ron stolen and a Kuberg Ranger stolen. Insurance denied both.

The reluctance to come out of a rut: wouldn't that largely be attributed to the short wheels?
@mSXmSiX2 жыл бұрын
you guys should check out the sur ron, its pretty populair in the electric space

What would be sick if it was like a Toyota Prius where it’s a mix of electric and gas, use the Battery to shoot off the line and get some sick torque, then the gas kicks on and your good to go.

On a bicycle the front break is on the left....on a moped n some scooters it has the rear on the bars

Great lil bike, but all these manufacturers need to know, these are way too expensive. The only people that really care about these are young people with no money, cause everything is too expensive nowadays. You know, people like me xD

It's an electric farm bike- it's a tw200 but electric. Which is awesome.

Just started watching the vid and already see how the “Volcon” is an electronic Rokon..

I thought you guys weren’t going to make any more videos that showed any dirt. Dirt roads,medians with grass growing in them,potted plants,fingernails with dirt under them,etc. Because those types of videos don’t “do” well enough. And yet,here comes Spite,approaching the camera during the first few seconds of the video. And yes,I really am that salty after your “We can’t make videos like this anymore” video! Maybe you guys should spend the same amount of time reading the comments section on your off-road videos as you do the analytics,and you might see that people actually love those videos.
