Stock 28Kw E-Moto for only $7K?!? (Ventus One)

This is the Ventus One with 28Kw (yes, 28!) out of the box. We give this new high powered "stock" bike a ride and review!
This bike has the chassis of the 79 Bike Falcon M, but VTB put a new Battery, Motor, and Controller in it. This new powertrain puts an insane amount of power under this bike, coming in at a claimed 28Kw, and is available for purchase for less than $7K.
VTB also sells these parts separately, for your existing bike! For more info check out our website here!

Update: The version that will hit the USA market will be $6,999 and take about a month to get here. Ventus is estimating June 14th ETA. It will be configured with the 72v 50ah battery and motor capable of 27kw (like we rode) but likely tuned to 20kw out of the box. The production version will most likely have FastAce suspension and a 16" rear wheel, which is great news. All VTB power parts (motor, controller, and battery) are currently on our website and be available for pre-order later this week to fit Surron Light Bee and Ultra Bee + Talaria Sting MX3/MX4. Search VTB on our website to find the full list of parts.

37 HP? The power to weight ratio is off the charts. It must be a rocket.

[@daveman961]

Thats for sure if the dyno test confirms the nubers, BUT... You still gonna need ned rims and thick tires to even use the power and a new suspension front+rear. Gonna be another 2k at least. Same with all the china-bikes

That was a very objective review. I really enjoyed the pros & cons. Excellent in every way.

[@oneway_stingy]

It's like having a car that does 200mph. You're not going to go 200 mph, but it's nice to know you can and do have that speed and power

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

This is exactly right. You nailed it.

[@outon2s]

Why not? Just take it to the streets, top speed on that is what I did crusing speed on my sport bike lol

[@oneway_stingy]

@outon2s you're not cruising at 28kw, brother. No current motor or controller can hold that current and kW for a long period of time. 28kw is unridable for a long period, the bikes aren't designed to, and neither will the power hold for an extended period of time. Certainly ain't riding 28kw off road 🤣🤣

[@oneway_stingy]

@outon2s 200mph Is not a cruising speed 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@tintin6291]

What good is all that power if it’s still using ebike designs? Linkage, frame, swingarm, linkage designs that break. It should be designed as a dirtbike first before the power. For example rocker linkages under the frame instead of the triangle and linkage that these ebikes have.

[@ATICrossX]

Exactly, "only" 7k is crazy statement with ebike shitty frame...

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

Valid point, but what bike in the #emoto market has that design to bolt this up? Ventus used a bike that exists today to launch their parts AND is popular enough in the small bike market to actually sell. If the small electric motorcycle category doesn't work for you, then an upgraded Ultra Bee or upcoming Dust Moto might be more suited to your needs. Keep in mind they'll cost you several thousand dollars more until you hit the Stark Varg price point.

[@thesquirrel082190]

[@natesanchez4320]

Yeah fr you got a point like why don't I just find a dirtbike on marketplace or sum with no motor for cheap then buy the Ventus kit how much u think that would be$?🤔

[@Aimaiai]

The thing about this is that these things are all based on the surron light bee X platform, a bike that (when stock) is designed to max out at 75kph, which is the top end of downhill mtb speeds. Its fine at those speeds but people push them WAY past that limit without upgrading the frame and suspension.

[@chuco425]

My Surron rattled loose bolts when I took it off road. I heard the rattle and laughed at the familiar noise but surprised when you said Surron’s didn’t do that

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

Surron's factory quality is better than other brands, but everything rattles loose on every bike over time. Surron just happens to use locktite more than most

That display is so good I've been waiting for one of these companies to put a real moto style display. I'm not a fan at all of the eggrider the Torp or Ebmx use, this one blows them out of the water!

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

This display is very nice and has all the features you could want but it's worth noting that EBMX and Torp both have color displays coming as well.

Talaria Dragon: Looking forward to you guys doing some tests. Also there are E Trials bikes out there. Do you have a rider that can test? (E Pure Race)

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

We're a dealer for Electric Motion, but would test the Escape XR first. The trials bikes are nice, but not exactly suited to our normal comparison list. If the Talaria Dragon's ever make it to the USA (that's still questionable apparently) we'll test one of those as well. Keep in mind the Escape XR and Talaria Dragon are Ultra Bee sized, so that's a very different comparison than this smaller Ventus One.

Question....I just bought a Chi 72v40ah Surge battery and I need to decide on the controller/motor combo. Money is no object for this build. I've got it narrowed between the EBMX 9000 with the EBMX motor, or a Torp TC500/1000 with a Torp motor. The more reviews I watch the harder time I have choosing. Cate to put your thumb on the scale? I'll be ordering what I can from your store and I just recently placed my first order with you guys after you so nicely replied to a previous comment on another video. Would love to know what you would go for. Doing a mix of 50/50 street and hard packed trail riding...not much mud or sand (at this point).

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

Give us a call tomorrow and ask for Nate. He runs both setups between multiple bikes and can give you his honest opinion. Our number is on the website and Google Maps.

[@JESSEverything]

@@ChargedCycleWorks Thanks for the reply. I put in a 2nd order with you guys last night for an EBMX 9000 and the EBMX motor after seeing a teardown of the 9000 and how well built the electronics are.

[@hadesomegamoto7639]

28kw too much for dirt but for supermoto that's 150R slaying power. I've raced my Light Bee at 22kw and it rips coming out the corners. If the parts fit a Light Bee how much is the 72V/50AH battery? The battery is always the most expensive components.

Ok so how much is the upgrade kit…? I already have a talaria MX3… there’s nothing about it on your site.

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

Search VTB on our website. Controllers, motors, and batteries are there but pre-orders probably won't start until later this week. For now, use the notification list to be alerted.

[@Ray88G]

Why not upgrade front and rear suspension with wheels from an 85cc dirtbike..

[@a909a]

Guys, can i upgrade this bike like Sur-Ron (remove chain and buy belt kit). I want it to be as quiet as possible

[@darpal9424]

Once you go past 10 kw the belt starts skipping teeth so not only can you not put power down but the belt will eventually fail. I’m not sure how far you can push the upgraded belt but it probably won’t make it much farther. I’m running 30kw on my bike rn and the amount of heat and force that gets put into the primary chain has already caused it to stretch

[@MPulicci78]

Ok went to their website… from what I read the bike starts at 7k.. then you choose what size battery you want.. shocks.. brakes and the price goes up.. it says it’s a 20 kw bike not 28… and there’s a 60 day wait…

Is there an upgrade that can take the weight capacity higher than it's rated 220lbs?

[@tonysurber9111]

I wouldn't be too concerned about that friend. I weigh 230 without gear, and have been riding my highly modded Surron for several years now with no issues at all. I jump mine. Run it through creeks, and the occasional river, and generally run it hard with zero issues.

[@seanp1096]

@@tonysurber9111 OK but that's not the same bike as this one. Is yours rated for 220lbs?

That was a big focus of the video. The VTB motor, controller, and battery for Surron Light Bee are all on our website. Search VTB.

I really hope they eventually make this controller compatible with the newest EBMX motor would be a great pairing if possible! also wondering on the compatibility to Chi batteries?

No, Currently they do not have the setup for the Ultra Bee. EBMX does have full Motor, Controller, and Battery setups for the Ultra

[@draggerlane04090]

So let me get this straight. Ventus bult a 28kw powered bike and it's safety features are cheap parts like the brakes and suspension. If the bike parts can't handle the power, seems like a serious lawsuit in Ventus's future. Lets go with the parts list that needs to be replaced right out of the box. Suspension $3000, Rims and tires, $1500, Brakes, $1000 And a bike with that much power It should stock come with a Chain drive. $100. $5600 in safety parts they cheaped out on. I can understand cheapen out but the brakes, come on you need brakes That's a must . Other than that the only thing I don't like about the bike is the headlight. I like it has different modes to which other bikes don't have but having them on the light itself to me is not good for me. I'd rather have them on the bars where they are easily accessable.

[@marquis-_5501]

where to find that display for surron?

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

You can get this display by purchasing the VTB Controller for surron

[@cloudymaro]

I hate how you guys kept saying "its too fast". Its too fast for that track, not to mention its crappy brakes and suspension. Riders like myself use bikes like this to commute to and from work, so keeping up / staying with traffic is good and ultimately preferred. Without talking about laws and legislations, something being "fast" is objectional, and its up to the individual whether something is too fast or not. Other than that, great video!

[@BrianLampright913]

Just keep in mind that if you can accelerate that fast you also need to be able to stop fast and that requires good brakes and tire grip. Especially for pavement riders in traffic where consequences can be deadly.

Not for long. Just after publishing we were told they plan on having better suspension and wheels on the production model.

Honestly, thumb regen brake sucks; so much custom stuff on that cockpit, but the variable regen on the rear brake handle isn’t there or anywhere I see. It will be a must have, but nobody wants the money I guess.

[@ChargedCycleWorks]

Variable regen on this bike is also adjustable with your thumb, you have both a regen lever and a variable regen adjustment in the thumb controls

[@DeruginizCLS]

They could have at least added some nice brakes to that package.

[@EssPhour]

I believe it has a regenative E brake, strong enough to lock them up if you set it thst way.

[@DeruginizCLS]

@@EssPhour I think you’re right. I seen it in action with Surronster video. That’s actually a good idea. Never thought of using it that way👍.

[@MPulicci78]

[@paulhope3401]

Can a manufacturer or speed controller manufacturer please add a gyro and program in a wheelie balance point activated by a momentary push button (or two for safety) for those of us that are lame at wheelying? 😊 Maybe also add a lockable slider/ rotary encoder knob for a variable balance point as that will differ from rider to rider. Controlled by throttle and variable regen algorithms. Shouldnt be too difficult to do and would bring in a whole new sub niche of stunter E-bikes... You will likely sell a load of them and make a mint... just send me a free one if you use my idea. 😉

[@midgetmoney1]

@@catmanflorida2839 I totally get that but they are juicing the drive train up on these things while still having the parts of a toy bike. This is dangerous and means endless upgrades as you own the bike. For $7k, there are other electric options that appear to be more robust.

[@RomeoMihalcea]

frame-wise, another surron ripoff. Gadget-wise, looks cool. You can put an 1000 hp engine on a VW Golf tho but that doesn't make it a good car. I own a surron and a stark but the components on these bikes are absolute crap man, I wouldn't trust this frame, pegs, forks and everything else with a 28kw. My 2c, I don't know why the focus so much on power and power alone. On a side note, competition is always welcome, esp for us consumers, so let's hope they start pushing out quality too.
