Rawrr Mantis X Review - All The PROS and CONS

[@nbcursed1552]

Great video, went out for a ride with the mantis today and ripped down some new trails.

[@millennialwealth1513]

Love the mantis X video. Keep doing em !

[@Mike_The_Bike_591]

Thank you Pat for putting this E-moto through its paces and saying it LIKE it IS 🙌🤘; like others I already knew about the Battery/Low Amp/hour/Range shortcomings (at $3K Rawr had to CUT *somewhere* lol 😉) but for your readership I was looking for you to be UPFRONT and you CERTAINLY were 👍😈🙌; solid review, 🔥LIKED🔥, and I’m looking forward to listening through your older and upcoming material 🙌👍😈🔥…

[@djcoolcliff]

I got the Mantis and I only ride in Eco 2 and push Sport when needed or go to 3. I can go 50 in ECO 2. A great way to conserve battery.

[@adonijahtaylor547]

How much do you weigh?

[@LoneWolf-ib7cu]

Excellent review! I placed an order for my Mantis X a few days ago. It should arrive any day now. Is there anyway you can show a video on how to change the gear oil and lube the chain? And what kind or brands to use. Thank you! Once again, thank you for your review on this bike.

[@jasonlarocque2795]

i love this idea, just ordered mine a few days ago too, curious about all the upkeep that needs to be done...

[@sprintzz3988]

Can you do a talaria x3 vs rawrr mantis x.

[@d1of1c243]

Fr cuz these 2 r my top choices

[@SyphonGaming]

xxx for street and mantis for offroad. the xxx sucks offroad. I had mine for 4k miles but its not made for offroading so I stuck to street and got something else for offroad

[@sprintzz3988]

@@d1of1c243 same

[@tommym3876]

The rawr mantis is definitely better

[@bloodinherfanta]

is the rawr good for street?

[@duckwitbuckethat5931]

We need a comparison between the talaria x3 and this bike. I’m torn between those two

[@TheTexasDuke]

30 miles is super far exactly correct. Most people do like 15 20 Max badass video Pat love your content

[@HatchBackLove27]

How does the range and battery life compare to the Talaria XXX? I am really torn between both of these bikes. Absolutely love the channel! Subbed immediately!

[@RalphMoon]

Awesome review..so does the motor get hot after a lot of climbing uphill and heavy up hill off-roading?

[@L_s_D_m_T]

know of any brake lights that would be pretty much plug and play for this bike?

[@PatOutdoors]

I’ve got a few at home I’m test fitting right now. None are plug and play, but fit pretty nicely on the tail. Just reviewing the wire harness to make it work with the levers

[@L_s_D_m_T]

[@ghastly545]

Just finished watching great vid!!!!

[@MiamiEBenz]

thanks for the review great vid

[@Nobodyatall00]

Pat is there room for a larger battery down the road or is it limited space like the xxx. One of the rides I do 3 times a month is 30 plus miles with breaks often on my xxx I'm wanting to upgrade it to 72v with the new luna float seat or just get a pro ss but will see what the winter holds. Excellent vid looks like an amazing ride w great views

[@PatOutdoors]

@@Nobodyatall00 so far, the largest battery available is 72V 35ah for the Mantis X. My Talaria XXX has a 74V 44AH battery that has over 60 mile range

[@Nobodyatall00]

@@PatOutdoors yeah I want to upgrade my xxx or get the pro ss the price would be the same for either option except a modded xxx would hand the ss it's ass on the street anyway. Truth be told the ventus 1 v2 would be perfect all the way around bit far out of my price range

[@LeroyJenkins]

​@@PatOutdoorsyea but is it UL approved ? That is what Rawrr is pushing. Making sure it's safe.

[@AidenZ7334]

Nice vid I just got the xxx and every time I ride my butt hurts lol. Do you think seat covers actually add any cushioning.

[@PatOutdoors]

@@AidenZ7334 I’m about to upgrade my XXX seat actually. Check out Luna cycles’s float seat for $50

[@AidenZ7334]

@@PatOutdoors yeah I was looking at that but then there wouldn’t be any seat covers right?

[@vrelity2772]

[@nikerat5647]

Thank you for all the great info on this bike! Will be getting one soon. Do you know how many watts the charger pulls? Want to use my 800 watt inverter generator to charge the battery while camping. Thanks

[@droptopmaids8474]

The app allows regen now

[@Psnacount]

A pedal kit just isn’t possible for this frame the day it is this bike can complete with the talaria x3

[@PatOutdoors]

@@Psnacount I had a pedal kit on my surron, then I took it off because it felt like it barely moved the bike and not worth the added weight. I bought a pedal kit for my x3 and returned it for the same reason. Makes sense for those worried about cops, but not for everyone 🤷🏾‍♂️

[@geak484]

should i get one i live in the uk tho so like i have a high chance of it getting taken off me

[@chrisperrywv]

Oh man. I wish I still lived in WV and had one.

[@DanielGrows]

So Mantis X or Talaria XXX for 80% pavement?

[@PatOutdoors]

If your pavement riding is more than 25 miles and you like to cruise above 40 MPH, then Talaria XXX. If range isn't an issue, Rawrr Mantis X

[@kevinnestor-z7t]

Once you clear out a few trees you’re going to have a nice track!!

[@TylerDurden-bl4py]

Hey Pat So I need a bike that gets me back about 30 mi at night once or twice a week. I was thinking about getting the motor goat v3 but I read is to tall for me I'm 5'5. There's this other bike I saw I forgot the name but it basically has this huge brakes in the back and the front. But the guy that review it wasn't that happy with it. Now I'm looking at this dirt bike what are your thoughts about it because the older bikes were regular e-bikes not dirty bikes?

[@ghostiiOnSpotify]

you would be much better off with a regular ebike like that motor goat or something else if you’re looking for a road commuter and need 30+ miles of range. These electric dirt bikes are more geared for torque and for having fun off road rather than range, and road-worthiness.

[@RalphMoon]

Is the charger included with the bike or has to be bought separate?

[@PatOutdoors]

@@RalphMoon it’s included with the bike. I think all the e-motos in this class come with the charger

[@MiamiEBenz]

so no cutting any wires to get top speed...no limiter on it

[@TylerDurden-bl4py]

Can we add a spare battery to this bike?

[@PatOutdoors]

@@TylerDurden-bl4py I mean you could just buy a spare battery and swap it out when the first one dies since it’s easy to take out

[@adonijahtaylor547]

Test the 35 AH upgrade battery!

[@PatOutdoors]

I would love to, but it’s out of my budget at this time..

[@r1ky527]

You think its a good bike for me if lm 6foot 3 tall? it Look like Big enuf bike And slitly biger than talaria 3x. And if not you recomend some other bikes around theat price for 3k.

[@PatOutdoors]

@@r1ky527 There is no other bike that’s BIGGER than a Talaria XXX for $3,000 besides this one. You could go with an MX3 or MX4, but that’s quite a bit more with 60v battery. This sits about 2” taller than my XXX so it’s better suited for taller rider in comparison

[@VIGGZEN14]

When is the Next outboard video Coming?

[@PatOutdoors]

lol pretty soon. I just confirmed there was gear oil in the lower unit. I also swapped out the plastic prop for an aluminum one. Also got a HUGE 100AH battery for all day testing

[@VIGGZEN14]

@@PatOutdoors 👍 cant wait

[@EphraimBasri]

Are you gonna test the app when the app gets fixed?

[@PatOutdoors]

Absolutely, but not again until RAWRR says otherwise. Don’t wanna take a gamble again until I know I have alternative controller upgrade options as a fall back

[@GroundGravel]

Does the app work on this yet?​@PatOutdoors

how long did it take to come in?

[@carlosbarragan6729]

Id be great to see how it does at tomahawk mx

[@PatOutdoors]

Hmm 🤔 LOL it ain’t a 2-stroke motocross bike, but I am curious to see how it would do..

[@-108-]

iS IT POSSI... oops. Is it possible to make the Mantis X street legal?

[@PatOutdoors]

Depends on your state laws and regulations. But it does come with an off road paper title (like a traditional dirt bike) and a VIN stamped on the frame. It’s possible for me (in VA) to add a functional brake lamp, turn signals, and DOT street tires, have it inspected, and registered as a street-legal “moped.” But every state is different.

[@-108-]

@@PatOutdoors Thanks!

[@LarryRichelli]

To me it seems like you glossed over that rear suspension or maybe I should have said the lack of rear suspension. This is the reason the Electric cycle rider was saying that this bike would be better for on road use both because of the light frame and the lack of rear suspension. Glad you like it but now there there is an MX5 there will be great deals on the MX4 which would be more in the same price range as this. you are fortunate that you can have a few different bike but most of us will ahvde to buy one bike to do everything we need and I just don't think this is it.

[@PatOutdoors]

You think the MX4 price is going to be dropped to $3,000?

[@rickystafford7433]

ECR hasn't tested this bike, they only had the older Mantis. Not only does this bike have rear suspension clearly but it's at a much better angle than all the other e-motos. It's a little soft though so you won't be doing crazy jumps on it but neither will you on the other bikes without mods.

[@LarryRichelli]

@@PatOutdoors No, I was thinking less but I guess I was exaggerating. I still would not buy a Rawrr no matter what. I really don't think it is a good bike. It is more at home on the street!

[@KarterSchraw]

​@LarryRichelli not true at all I'm 250lb and we rip our mantis x thru some pretty nasty stuff it soaks it right up no bottoming out.

[@Bengy22]
