Talaria MX5 Range Test And E-Ride Race - Scud Missile Edition

Took the new MX5 out for a range test, and did a few races against the E-Ride Pro SS. Cool story huh?

I am fond of 2 things: ebikes and stand up comedy. Thanks for combining the two, loving your humor, sir!

[@stevej6824]

So minus the battery issue, which won’t be an issue moving forward, it’s looking like the new MX5 is currently, gonna be the new Top Dawg e-motos in this price range. Better acceleration ✅ Better suspension ✅ Better gearbox ✅ Better brakes ✅ Better seat ✅

[@shootthechit]

Yea, its a pretty solid bike all around.. minus the thermonuclear warhead lol

[@davidhansson1710]

I just have to add about the Talaria MX4s with SCUD Batterys. It might have been my comment you saw. It was not ordered from aliexpress or anything similar. It was bought really expensive, road-legal from one of the biggest physical motorcycle-stores in Sweden. And from what ive heard the SCUD batteries are common in MX4s especially in northern europe. They are probably not more dangerous than any other battery. Just some exceptionally rare catastrophic failure for some reason i would belive.

[@bigb69ti]

yeah this scud is getting all the hate lol im sure they built it right. It just went into Thermal runaway, I still think it was a bad samsung cell. samsung is good at that.

[@Ecurrie84]

[@shootthechit]

E-Ride is no slouch, but they really pulled out the stops with the MX5. Nice to see them doing real upgrades and not just making the bikes faster

[@MarkFries-o7n]

Thanks for the test. Will be curious to see if the new battery you get will have better range! Stay safe!!!!

[@Ken-r4d]

I'm curious to see a range test between the MX4, the MX5 and the pro SS. My 30 mile loops on the pro SS leave me with between 35 and 45% depending on the outdoor temp and my riding mood that day. That's with a pretty solid mix of ~15 miles asphalt, ~15 miles dirt and gravel, being a 185 pound rider . A 50 AH battery that was LifePO4, on a 160lbs bike would have been a pretty slick move. Idk why any of these companies don't offer LifePO4 batteries. Especially after those people got burned in the elevator with an e-bike battery. And now the guy who had to pull his new bike over because of a lithium fire between his legs. I get that it's the business model to slowly release the "next best thing" that's slightly better in order to drive profit margins. But the battery tech is there, safety-wise, with LifePO4 that they could at least offer it as an upgrade option. Also, your bro prolly ain't giving an honest weight. His answer sounded like a question; "210?" Lol

[@shootthechit]

I think they don't use LifeP04 batteries because of the weight. They are significantly heavier than lithium ion. When I'm on my E-Ride and my friend is on his MX4, his battery drains noticeably faster than than mine. I would bet its a 5-10 mile difference if we did a full range test.

i need help deciding between the mx5 and the e ride pro ss. theres postives to both but i just cant decide what one?

I think the MX5 has it beat at the moment, more power, better brakes, better suspension, and its cheaper.

[@bellyacres7846]

I liked - so now I gotta comment: Im 6'4" 230lbs n yeah that mx looks good to me. that regen thing just for the braking is enough for me to know. the amount it regens (?) not my priority to know that - just for some holdback on a downhill is enough for me. my ebikes are free willie down the hills - :O range (?) well might be better for me as I ride back roads and really 20 mph is fine with me. if only it didnt cost more than a dirt bike -

[@johnmclaughlin4802]

[@Sherman1862]

Wonder how much an extra battery costs? None SCUD addition please... I might buy one of those E Rides to go in my ever expanding Ebike Stable. : )

[@JJTradess]

[@Ken-r4d]

Does the MX5 coast downhill with no "regenerative" brake resistance? I'm curious about whether the thumb control, when fully open, has zero "regenerative" braking. It doesn't seem like there's any way to fully disable it on the e-ride. The switch positions seem to do nothing. I like having it on through turns and downhills off-road, but it would be nice to have it off entirely during long downhill stretches on paved road. Feels weird having to throttle going downhill.

[@shootthechit]

You can also adjust the settings for the always on regenerative braking between levels 1-4. I don't think there is an "off" setting, but 1 to me feels like its off. I leave it on 1 all the time, as I don't like the always on setting. I think the E-Ride just has a lot of resistance with the chain and all that, so there is always a drag on it.

[@Ken-r4d]

@@shootthechit I think there's something else going on. I can coast downhill on a scary 280-300lbs CARBON EMISSION bike and not feel that weird resistance. We tested coasting downhill on all three modes on the e-ride and didn't measure any difference in speed. So that makes me wonder if that resistance is there no matter what. Is the throttle always fighting it, even uphill? These are the questions that chit heads have. Is "regenerative" braking truly off on the MX5 as well? The world may never know.

[@shootthechit]

@@Ken-r4d I wonder if your regen switch is broken on the E-ride. I can definitely tell a difference on mine between the 3. Maybe see if can trace the wire and verify its plugged in. I know it wont engage if you're above 90%

it isnt the mx5 that caught on fire, the calibers are different in the video, thats the biggest giveaway to it

And the MX-5 with a 220 lb weight capacity and we wonder why it catches on fire 😂 Should really clean up those wires tho.

[@MotoAlias]

Has nothing to do with the weight amd everything to do with some of the battery's coming from scud not greenway

[@maniacalmonster2293]

@@MotoAlias possibly some slightest to it. I mean, there's a weight limit exceeded causing the bike to overwork therefore overheat

[@MotoAlias]

@@maniacalmonster2293 if the motor or controller overheated it would cut power it wouldnt catch fire. It's not from weight it's from bad battery's. Theve announced this already

[@MotoAlias]

@@dasshape00 thats how they get people. Rawr mantis x is a 3000 dollar bike and it's 72v so everyone who doesn't know anything thinks it's great. But it's only 6.5kw so it's not faster than the 60v bikes it's juts sounds good on paper. Also the rawr can't be upgraded theirs no aftermarket for it. Talaria sting is constantly improving I own the mx3 a year later they made the mx4 and now they have the mx5 same bike but better brakes battery motor more power better suspension. It's the cream of the crop right now. And everything is available aftermarket for it if you ever want to make some changes or upgrades.

Don't let your battery get down past 20% and don't charge it over 80% - 90%

[@Jace_1445]

Why?

[@realkidcarter]

this a myth, stock battery packs already do that on their own

[@maniacalmonster2293]

@@realkidcarter tis not a myth look it up. Same goes with any device. You say these stock batteries stop charging at 80% and don't let it die below 20%? I don't think so

[@maniacalmonster2293]

@@Jace_1445 keeping a battery's charge between 20% and 80% can help extend its life. Charging a battery to its maximum capacity can stress the battery cells and decrease its overall health. Batteries are most stressed when fully drained, so it's best to keep your battery above 20%. Some devices, like iPhones, have a feature that stops charging at 80% to extend the battery's lifespan. Mine does.
