ONYX RCR DAILY COMMUTE... HOW I RIDE

[@chaunceylongman1160]

That was the most exciting daily commute I’ve ever seen!

[@michaelmaynard1]

No matter how rough my day is, riding home clears my mind.

[@seanjoseph1700]

How's the suspension on it sounds pretty noisy

[@sleepyheadfpv1507]

I commute on a ZX. But I do want one of these bad boys. I’m about to do some drone work for them at headquarters! Super excited

[@metosoreru]

Nice way to add some fun to your commute. I’ve been thinking about getting one of these myself, they look like so much fun

Thank you. I'm still paying some debt so I can buy one. Also gives me time to buy the one with higher capacity battery. Word on the street is they'll have one available sometime in October. Peace.

cool, I just ordered a custom seat from a guy in the facebook group.

Ever have any trouble with cops? I want to get one but seems you can't even register them for the road in RI

[@MultiCheck123456789]

Cool bike man how much ?

[@SHAKETHEBLDNG]

Does it ever hit 55mph/60 or is that for like downhill?

[@faahreu9040]

Varies on the rider's weight and the road

[@davidcarter805]

Does it handle and drive like Motorcycle or a bicycle? As in on my 1200cc motorbike if I want to turn right I push forward on my right handlebar and lean into it naturally. From what I can gather from these videos it still handles like a bicycle and maybe dirt bike.

[@michaelmaynard1]

id say motorcycle just from the weight. turn radius is decent but im not comfortable with high speed cornering.

[@bigzack8146]

Do you have to have it registered or insured have a plate ot any thing ?

[@michaelmaynard1]

It depends on where you live. Ive spoken to several officers here in Nashville and they view it as a bike that doesn't have to be registered.

[@c2thew]

What was your starting and ending voltage?

[@ridesharebiz5317]

When you ride, do you allow cars to have the right a away? Looking to get one, but there is such a back order. Great presentation.

[@michaelmaynard1]

Yes, I give cars their proper respect but I also want them to see me at all times so I ride more like a motorcycle in the regular lanes.

[@malomahalo5198]

I don't know... do you want to die? or do you want to live? good question.. but i guess that answer is up to you.

You got plates on it? Lol

[@catzillafirefox]

Interesting ride & good riding habit! I can only wish to get my hands on one.👍 One question though, what do you usually do when it rains while riding?

[@michaelmaynard1]

ive only been caught twice by rain and both times visability was the biggest problem. face mask fogs up. i just slow down and pray. lol

[@mburns4551]

Can you use the paddles & how long did it take to receive after you ordered it? Thanks so much!!

[@michaelmaynard1]

IMO the bike is too heavy to pedal. I ran out of battery and tried to pedal home and almost died. Lol. My bike took 92 days to be delivered from the order date.

[@mburns4551]

@@michaelmaynard1 bro thanks so much for for the response. Extremely appreciative.

[@rockefelleragent1357]

Nice quiet ride...and VERY quick acceleration! You hit 53 mph. Is that the top speed or will it go faster? This is electric bike right? Does it require registration? I have a 6000w electric scooter and tops out at 55 mph lol.

[@michaelmaynard1]

don't need to register, however some have registered their onyx as a moped for insurance purposes.

[@tbone2123]

UncommonMovesMedia if I register it as a moped do I not have to pay for insurance? How does that work ??

[@rockefelleragent1357]

@@tbone2123 The agent will ask you if you have a insurance or not. Just say Yes. Usually they will not ask any further as they are not there to interrogate you. But if they do ask what insurance just pick one, Geico.

[@michaelmaynard1]

@@tbone2123 just the opposite. They register so they can get insurance. A lot of these bike are targets for thieves.

do you need protective gear for those type of speed? would a bike helmet suffice? that is fast 50mph

[@michaelmaynard1]

I usually wear a Daytona helmet that is DOT approved and motorcycle glasses.

[@respo87]

@@michaelmaynard1 Nice ride bro! I'd recommend a motorcycle jacket, denim or kevlar jean pants and maybe some riding footwear (they make boots and sneakers too). Road rash is the worst and broken bones can suck too.

[@TheNumBert00]

I think they don't need any as of rn because they have pedals , but I'm guessing they'll change that later on two wheel viechles that go faster than 20mph . The ebike also has a Vin number so they're ready if the law changes.

Do you need a motorcycle license?

[@jeremycurle6880]

it will vary from state to state but if you plan on going full speed and using all the lanes like this guy did, you'd probably be best getting a motorcycle license just to be safe, even if you have it registered as a moped. but if you only drive on back roads and bike trails at relatively low speeds then you'll be fine.

It really depends on the state and city that you live in. In some states, it would register and a full on motorcycle but in states with big metro areas like NYC, LA, SF, etc, its classified as an ebike.
