My New Bike Is Beast.. Better Than Surron? Rawwr Mantis First Ride

[@JC-DC]

Damn, that SUV was way too close.🍻 But you still picked a great route with a great view for the test run👍👍

[@DevineDumbass]

Idk why that dude was completely in the oncoming lane at all. The pedestrians up ahead were in that same lane so he didn't even need to go around them or anything

[@Bryce-00]

Couple facts about the Rawrr 1. You will notice the frame and swingarm and different from normal e bikes and that's cause it's supposed to be more like a praying mantis (hence the name) 2. The bike is built with a heavier battery and other components so it feels more like a dirt bike without actually being one

[@alexanderc198]

$5k and it's not proven like the surron

[@chestertaylor7341]

I live in Los Angeles are before too long I hope too see you while riding my e-cycle.

[@erikintegradc1527]

Hey hicks let me get one of ur electric bike bro please i cant afford one👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼🔥🔥🔥

[@99LUGO]

That’s insane I was legit shredding on my sur Ron at that same place yesterday

[@RickFrusher]

Great Video Hix - I'm still team Sur Ron though. Prefer a lighter bike and while this is closer to a dirt bike, it's still not going to give a dirt bike experience. Additional weight for a bike that you're going to 90% street ride for me is a no-go. You might get more attention from the police on the Rawwr...I'd rather put that additional money towards a GLE BAC400 controller (Power and reverse). Just my .02.

[@tacticooldennis]

It sounds louder than a surron. Looks pretty solid.

[@VoltedAdventures]

💯

[@nxdboi]

Nice to have more options. I still think the Talaria is the better or the 3 black bikes, for sure. I feel like it hit the magic power/size/weight ratio. I'm also not too crazy about the KKE fork. They should have gone with FastAce. Overall though it seems like a solid 3rd option.

[@robster7277]

the brake discs are tiny

Sick view of LA at the start of the Vid John mate! Love these vids keep them coming. from The UK 🇬🇧

You probably shouldnt talk with your hands at an intersection with cars passing by, they might confuse it as a signal to do something.

[@RodneyJayy632]

I was leaving work one night and I took a wrong turn. And a door dash driver decided not to see me and turned into the driveway I was riding past and blasted me with her jeep grand Cherokee I flew onto the windshield onto the ground. She didn't even see if I was okay. Just delivered what she had and left lol

[@LivinRentFreeInUrHead]

If it's not jumpable then it's not dirt bike material.

[@cdeeznuts3995]

This bike is trash. No suspension linkage is enough to deter anybody with any actual moto knowledge. That frame? Best joke I’ve seen in a while. One good jump will snap that twig

[@LivinRentFreeInUrHead]

@@cdeeznuts3995 I agree bro. I like the surron way more. Personally I think the surron looks better and has way more potential.

i have never been this early 😮😮

[@robertsilva5041]

I wonder what upgrades are available for that? Also, would it be faster than a surron after upgrades

[@eugenegodd]

wsppppp

[@djcoolcliff]

Have you ever rode the 72 volt version? She is a beast, that’s what I have!!!!

[@DAILYWALKIN]

can I have your other surron? iv always wanted one but I just don't have enough.

[@Red_AIert]

The guy that almost hit you was in the wrong lane. Glad you made it and nice bike. 💯

[@Pigpen1202]

Awesome. That was sososo cool. It even has a nice sound

I would love to hear more about the "road" version. Any inside information? 😁😁😁

[@ramblinjay3816]

Man i want one of these bikes. I just found your channel and it's awesome. Thanks for the content.

[@ItisMeMike]

My surron has a rebound.. maybe yours is older and doesn't?

[@raygrenade1697]

Review that super moto version bruh !!!

[@MITCH1221]

Reminds me of a Denzel Samurai. Same Motor headlights and features. I think the samurai is a better looking bike and the seat looks more comfortable.I was really hoping this was 72 volts as well. Cool looking bike though

[@tmoore7049]

Great ride Hixs, I'm glad you dodged that crazy driver. Wow that was scary close. You have an angel watching over you!

[@lukewarmaus]

The S shape is meant to resemble a mantis, surely?

[@blacksandyt]

help me wit a surron

[@tigerrider6711]

Every KZbinr: this is so much better than the surron, now here’s the affiliate link for my kickback.

[@Offthevoltz]

Doesn’t even have proper link suspension on the rear

[@TheFloridaBikeVlogger]

man I hope that battery doesn't blow up. been reading alot about these E bikes blowing up but I stay in FL so many its just because florida lol

Nice but I'll stick with the Surron.

[@deepfreeze8918]

that suv proves why I wont ride a bike on the street, ppl are clueless

[@erictalaria6153]

i like that it has no jack shaft, not sure why surron does that

[@JaxBoyPulls]

its shaped like a mantis arm which has like recoil mechanics or some shit, super dope bike. Looking to get my first e bike soon

[@corfuriders]

It's not better

[@jenniferdainty8869]

Just a quick question ❓ for u have to have a number plate on it as in some countries it's classed as a motorbike

[@richtheory.]

Its not legal to ride it on the street, it's like any other dirt bike in the U.S.

[@manchildbw5771]

you have to get turn signals and brake light and register it as a moped and some other stuff or at least that is the case for California

[@richtheory.]

Hey John, nice looking bike. How are you finding it on the hills? I ask because 45 N.M. of Torque sounds incredibly low. A 52volt BBSHD produces 150 N.M. of torque at 1500 watts.
