As an old 73 yr old cyclist with over 50 yrs on 2 wheels, welcome to the club. This seems like a well thought out motorcycle with some thoughtful features but I'd want at least 75 miles of range in mixed highway and backroad use. Pricing seems fair for what it offers. Great review!

Excellent and thorough review with lots of useful info for owners! Reviews of this bike are so scarce and sorely needed. I'll be receiving my own Anthem very soon coming from a Lectric XP2.0 and Onyx CTY2, which I ride on the street just like a motorcycle. Also, they threw in the ASI controller for free even before they put out the promo just days later. Either I got lucky, Ryvid is just that awesome, or both. 😁

I've been a EV enthusiast for the past decade so I've seen you around but have never actually watched one of your videos. Now that I have, I just want to say WOW. This was one of the BEST reviews of a vehicle I've ever experienced. Yeah, it is a bit long, but man there was NO FAT ... JUST MEAT HERE. You answered every question I had but one, what is the battery chemistry they use? I can't wait until you've gained more MC experience to be comfortable reviewing the highest class of EV bikes ... Livewire, Zero, and Energica ... plus those to come. I'm excited for the future of EV Bikes and can't wait for price parity. I will be checking out more of your content and keep up the great work and ride safely.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

We are grateful for your high praise. We have not seen the chemistry of the cells listed anywhere. We will soon conduct an interview with the company's CEO and we will be sure to ask. That interview will be published on the IN CHARGE playlist from our third KZbin channel @MissGoElectricIndustry IN CHARGE Playlist: incharge.missgoelectric.com/ Other eMoto reviews coming soon are the Zero DSR/X and the BMW CE-O4.

I had the opportunity to test ride a Ryvid (on the street) last year. It was amazing.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Thank you for sharing your experience. We had an order in on the Sondors Metacycle two years ago. The company packed up in the middle of the night and stole our $500 deposit. We are pleased to see that Ryvid is delivering product which is superior to the Geely-produced Metacycle by almost every metric. -Producer Tim

[@RPRosen-ki2fk]

@@MissGoElectricRideReviews I've followed Ryvid's story since prototype development. They are a UNICORN in the EV world. They've ended up doing what they said they would and are delivering product, unlike ALL the VAPORWARE companies. Talk is so cheap in the EV industry, they are such a breath of fresh air. I think they came off looking great in this very honest review. I have the upmost respect for Ryvid and wish them MUCH success.

[@LCCB]

Removable battery is a big plus. If you live in apartments, you may not have power available in the parking garage. Being able to take the battery into your apartment to charge every night would make this feasible for anyone (assuming an available elevator).

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Thank you for commenting! That is one of the advantages we cited in this review as well. We think the battery solution enables viability for many riders. -Producer Tim

[@TomBabula]

The clutch in Kawasaki Z125 that was loaned to me in MSF was my Achilles feet, switch manual gear up and down and apply break for short maximum distance breaking at which I failed. I have e-bike and onewheel now and appreciate being able to store them inside apartment, ride on bike lane, bike trails, sidewalk and taking it to commuter train though which has gone electric in my area 😊.

[@malachiflood5159]

Really appreciate the depth of your review. That hardest issues I have with grabbing an electric motorcycle is the range for freeway/highway speeds. Also I’m pretty sure recharging takes a decent amount of time. My desire is to travel to the coast on my bike which is about 100 miles away. I’ve always loved the idea of electric but I can’t justify the high cost with how much I personally would get out of the bike.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

This electric motorcycle is not ideally suited for 200 mile round-trip travel at highways speeds. It is a city commuter. Verge and Zero produce long range electric motorcycles with 4x the battery capacity and would be capable of meeting your demands. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and for tuning in.

Congratulations on getting your motorcycle certification. Be really careful using a kickstand on the grass. That can end in drama. You can carry a "puck" with you which is a little coaster capable of spreading out the load better so your kickstand doesn't sink. Apologies if you already knew that.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

We were required to use the pucks during the riding school sessions, but we didn't adopt the habit afterwards. They can be very helpful in hot blacktop or wet gravel as well. We will add them to our bike bags. Thanks Karl! -Producer Tim

What are you using for audio for this video? Also what do you recommend for bluetooth/intercom for your helmet, based off of your experience?

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

The microphone we use is the DJI Mic. amzn.to/3TeIEB8 It was very windy so we had to hide the microphone inside the jacket during the standup sections. That placement does an injustice to the tone these microphones are capable of capturing, but it made all of the audio usable. There is some post-processing on the audio to remove wind noise during the on-road portion. The microphone was placed inside the helmet with a dead-cat filter while riding. We use the FOD FX8Pro amzn.to/3XcZ65T We use it rider-rider communication and bluetooth audio. We are happy with them. We haven't tried anything else so we aren't sure how much better others might be. I can say we have had no trouble with battery life and range is 1/2 mile or so as long as the antenna is extended on each unit. -Producer Tim

[@andreperry7995]

Congratulations on your motorcycle license. I like the e-strapz lightning better 72v 75ah battery, i got 96 miles on a single charge.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

This is an electric motorcycle, legal on road and highways with DOT certification. It looks like eStraps produces only electric bicycles. The 5.4kWh battery you've mentioned is by far the largest we've ever seen on an eBike. It is indeed more capacious than the 4.3kWh battery in the Ryvid Anthem. We aren't sure that feature alone sets the eBike above the Ryvid Anthem. That said, one of our first reviews was the Surron XX and we had a great time on that. Our first eDirt bike review: kzbin.info/www/bejne/oIDIgpqhf9Wdibc Now that Luna is pushing the Talaria MX5 and the Stark Varg is on the market, the options for dirt bikes are numerous. We believe that an electric motorcycle like this Ryvid Anthem serves a different set of needs. Thank you for watching and commenting! -Producer Tim

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

[@karlInSanDiego]

This performance/range seems similar but better thanthe Kawasaki E-1, which is now in some dealerships. Kawasaki is pricey for a small range e-motorcycle. Both have too small of a battery to be very practical unless you stay local. That's been the challenge with e-motorcycles. We're not aero on the back of a bike, so our motorcycle efficiency isn't as awesome as we'd hope. It's better at lower speeds, just like with cars. Depending on who you ask, we all average 22 - 40 miles of driving/riding a day. That's a really low number which means we could all be mimicking the many Asian populations who generally have always relied the economy of 2 wheeled transport. I'd love to see Ryvid perform a Life Cycle Assessment to show that this represents a truly mor sustainable choice than even an EV car and allow people to understand that minimalism is necessary to match our necessary goals of zero emissions, including power and vehicle production.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

When dealerships (middlemen) are involved, purchase prices go up up up. In this review, Miss Go Electric reiterated that the official range projections are based on a 0.7 drag coefficient. Our pickup trucks are two times more aerodynamic with rating of 0.3. The most efficient automobiles on the road are at 0.2. Drag increases as about twice the rate of velocity. Energy efficiency is diminished disproportionally as speed increases. City riders can cruise for several hours on a single charge. For many, the inability to safely carry cargo like groceries, hardware, passengers, can be a deterrent from riding a motorcycle exclusively. Of course, weather is also an important factor which limits the practicality of motorcycles as a daily replacement, too. Safety is also a factor. Thanks for sharing your views, Karl. -Producer Tim

[@karlInSanDiego]

Force of drag is proportional to velocity squared not 2v. But power required to overcome that drag uses the formula P=Fd X v. So the power required to overcome drag is proportional to velocity cubed.

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

Some electric motorcycles just aren't there yet especially with the higher cost. Why pay that much when you can get ebikes with almost 100 miles of range, about 40mph, dual motors, no license, insurance and registration and cost under $3,000.00? I mean how often are you really going to drive it at top speed especially when it'll probably be used for urban commuting and not freeway/highway use? Just a thought or 2.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

We have reviewed about 100 eBikes. We like them too. We have found that the motorcycle is another animal all together. There are pros and cons to every mode of transportation. Thanks for sharing your views. -Producer Tim

[@DesuVR]

An e-moto like this will go 75 miles at 45-50MPH keeping up with cars with ease. A typical higher-end e-bike will top out around 40MPH and go only 20-25 miles, and depending on where you live, 40MPH ain't gonna cut it, more people drive over the speed limit than under. The only e-bikes that ever came close were ones with direct drive hub motors like the ONYX RCR and CTY2 and it's only now, years later that we have bikes to replace them; Spark Cycleworks Javelin & Brute, and Lyric Graffiti X just to name a few, but still with nowhere near the range of a true e-moto. There's a bunch of other e-motos that can go beyond 100 miles, but aren't nearly as affordable as the Anthem or Outset. The only other one that comes close is the Land Moto District but that's near $10k with the largest battery.

[@ChitFromChinola]

Because electric motorcycles are badass. Electric bikes have, um, pedals (cringe).

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

@@ChitFromChinola I didn't say they weren't. I was simply pointing out the fact that there's ebikes on the market now with 60+Ah battery packs that cost a 3rd of this motorcycle and get almost twice the range. What's wrong with pedals and cranks? If the battery dies on an E-moto you can't pedal it home.

[@ELECTRICBIKEDIYLIFE]

@@DesuVR Check out Aniioki and Eahora ebikes. Their long range bikes have more range and cost less than half of this motorcycle's price. I don't just randomly post comments without the knowledge to back it up, unlike some people apparently.

[@mkygod]

It sounds like a pretty nice gateway motorcycle if you're coming from an ebike. In terms of capability, it seems like the electrical equivalent of a Honda Grom but with half the range.

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

The Ryvid Anthem is larger and much more powerful than a Grom. Here are some figures: Grom: 9.7HP and 7.7lb-ft Anthem: 20hp (27hp with free controller upgrade right now) Grom: 7.7lb-ft engine torque Anthem: 53lb-ft motor torque at wheel 250lb-ft torque (334lb-ft with free controller upgrade right now) Grom: 55-60mph top speed Anthem: 84mph top speed Grom: 12" Wheel Diameter Anthem: 17" Wheel Diameter Grom: 30" Seat Height Anthem: 31"-34" Electronic Adjustable Seat Height Anthem has many extras over the Grom including cruise control, instant access to peak power, single speed transmission (no shifting), no powertrain maintenance, and the ability to fuel up at home for a fraction of the cost.

[@monzell1443]

$3.29 a gallon x 800 gallons (75 mpg) = $2,632 1,200 cycles (@.56 cents a charge) = $672 + $3,995 for a new battery + 1,200 hours of waiting around (w/ 1 hour fast charger) = $4,667 Yeah the technology isn't there yet, the batteries need to be able to have the cells replaced for a cheaper price (like $1k) or used better chemistry to last longer

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

You have shared data which is predicated on a number of misconceptions. More than 95% of our charging happens at home, not out in public. If we do charge in public, it happens seamlessly while we are doing something at the destination. We are *very rarely* "waiting around" for any period of time. After 1200 charges the battery is neither dead nor worthless. The battery is projected by Ryvid to have 80% of its range remaining at 1200 cycles. Remember, battery prices drop every year. They've done so for decades averaging about 10%. If a person wants to buy a 4.3 kWh battery in eight years, the cost will be a fraction of today's MSRP. Don't forget, any internal combustion motorcycle powertrain motorcycle will have cost the owner significant maintenance and repair bills after 8 years and 60,000 miles of riding. Buyers will need to account for that expense and time lost. The EV powertrain will require little to no powertrain maintenance cost. Also remember that a degraded battery contains 100% of the valuable materials it did when it was new. The secondary market and recycling facilities pay for nickel, lithium, manganese, and cobalt. It is cheaper for manufacturers to source from a decommissioned battery than to mine, refine, and ship raw material. One more thing, in a recent interview with the Ryvid CEO on our @MissGoElectricIndustry channel, we learned that the charging hardware within the battery unit is responsible for about $1,000 of its cost. That hardware does not meaningfully degrade. -Producer Tim

Range anxiety

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

This is a commuter bike. Most city riders would not exceed 50-70 miles on a commute. Those who do might consider an extra battery or a longer range electric motorcycle. Our review of the 200 mile Zero DSR/X is coming soon...but for the price of that bike a person can buy almost four Ryvid Anthems. -Producer Tim

[@DesuVR]

I'd be able to drive from one end of Phoenix to the other any way you slice it with range to spare on this battery if I keep my temptations in check and follow speed limits. Area 13 has done a range test with the Outset: 40 miles minimum with spirited driving or up to 70 miles driving conservatively in eco mode.

[@SolarizeYourLife]

Not intending to use a clutch is no reason for jumping the ship on all of us that have trained on motorbikes with clutch an Manuel gears an passed our test why should we do all that for someone to come along an jump the que on all of us that have done things properly your slapping us round the face an saying I got my license by being allowed to cheat!!!

[@MissGoElectricRideReviews]

Cheat? If you don't know how to ride and care for a horse, are you cheating by riding a motorized vehicle? 100 years ago, some would have said yes. Many decades ago the department of motor vehicles removed a mandate requiring that students learn to drive a car using a manual transmission. Passenger vehicle drivers no longer demonstrate proficiency operating a clutch pedal at any point during driver education. Is everybody who drives an automatic vehicle cheating? Almost every vehicle sold today features onboard navigation. Are drivers without paper maps in the glovebox cheating? Naw. Technology advances. You seem to have claimed that it is "proper" for humans to utilize inferior or antiquated methodologies. That kind of thinking is counter to civilization. Anyhow, you may have misunderstood the entire story. Miss GoElectric was forced to study and certify on an old fashioned internal combustion motorcycle. She completed the certification and possesses a motorcycle license in the state of Michigan. She earned the endorsement adhering to exactly the same terms as every other rider who has every certified. The point is that electric motorcycles exhibit a different set of properties and it would greatly benefit everyone if new riders were able to receive state-mandated instruction upon motorcycles which fundamentally operate similarly to what they will spend their lives riding. -Producer Tim

[@CrissaKentavr]

Clutch use isn't part of the test, dude. My spouse has taken the test multiple times (and always passed it) over the years and never is she tested on clutch use.

[@ziptic]

Classes and testing where I am can be done with auto trans ICE motorcycles so I don't see any reason to exclude electric powered motorcycles, which are just auto/non-shifting with a different power plant type. Most of one's training/practice primarily occurs outside of the class/test environment so what's the fundamental difference?...testing is mostly about awareness and control of a different type of vehicle. The Africa Twin is ICE auto which I can test on. But if I never ride any other mc, I still wouldn't know manual shifting. Is that "cheating?"
