Talaria mx5 tire upgrade

[@Sherman1862]

I just bought an E Ride Pro SS 2.0 and I want to run a 16 rear knobby tire for CA hardpack clay, sand, gravely tails in the SF Esta Bay Area. I want an aggressive knob pattern with light weigh for less rolling resistance spin. The bike is stock with a 55 tooth sprocket although i want to try and lower the gearing with a 60 tooth and see how it climbs hills and technical terrain. What back tire might you recommend? And do you think I should run a 60 tooth, or maybe a 54 since the 16 ion rear will be 3 inches less diameter than the stock? Thank you for your thoughts! : 0

good day, did you use the 70/100 r19 size for the new theory backwards? And it doesn't matter because the size 80/100 r19 is used there?

Hey E-Bike Cowboy! I was interested in your opinion regarding the new "Brute" bike by Spark Cycleworks. I am considering purchasing it, but I would like some input from someone with more experience. Thank you!

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

I've taken a quick look at it. Looks pretty cool. I'm not a fan of hub motors though and it reminds me alot of the Onyx rcr and that thing I felt was to heavy and slow for what I needed it. are you planning on riding on dirt with it or just street. Personally, I would just get a Talaria mx5 or e ride.

[@BingeV]

@@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy Thanks for the quick response. I actually put in an order for the RCR, but Onyx went out of business, so I never got my bike. My riding would be mostly on the street, but I would like something I can throw around in the dirt for fun. I might consider the Talaria, but it seems very much an offroad focused bike.

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

@BingeV Talaria and Surron just market themselves as an off-road bike so they don't get in trouble legally, but many people use them for street riding. The Talaria is way more adaptable than the Brute will be with Talaria having more aftermarket parts so you can customize it to what you want. The stock suspension on a Talaria will be vastly superior compared to the rfy shocks on the Brute. We went the Onyx route. The bikes were fast, but it had a terrible suspension heavy and felt outdated. At higher top speeds, the Onyx felt very sketchy, especially on rough roads. And the cherry on top. Both of mine and my Dad's Rcr's hub motors shut down within 50 miles of riding. The Talaria Mx4 is on sale right now for $4,200. We each have one, and we have them setup for mostly street riding and light trails, and we love them. The top speed for us is 50 mph. Just by doing simple changes makes it work really well with the street. We just got the Mx5, but really, love it so far, but we're still figuring things out. So for me, I would never go back to that e moped design ever again. I know the Brute is a different bike, but it can see the problems that were there on the Rcr and would recommend against it. If you want to know how we set ours help just let me know.

@@BingeV There are plenty of pavement princesses who love the Talarias

Be safe. Thanks for

Great video!

[@i_van]

Anyone know if there's an adapter to fit warp MX4 wheels on the mx5? I read somewhere wheels are not directly interchangeable.

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

I heard charge cycle works is working on that

[@MoxyDave]

Nice video. Just FYI your chain looks way too loose. Maybe you were working on it?

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

I was

[@octowoomyg6672]

Do you think these are better than 241s? I am looking for a tire that I can ride both street and dirt because of my area but I wanna get the best, also do you know what the biggest tire width you can fit in the mx5 without needing to shave anything or any grinding I want a fat tire for wheelies but preferably light

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

Yeah 241s are great we like to use them as a rear tire for our bikes we didn't do it for the Mx5 because we are going to use it for 80% dirt. On our Mx4s we run 17 in rear wheels and on Dad's he runs 3.00 x 17 and there's room between the chain and side of the tire but they don't make a 3.00x19 they make 2.75x19 that is what you would run on the front. I think a 3.50x19 would work on the back but not quite sure. If it's sandy in your area the Bridgestone m203 works great for the front and a 241 in the back.

You guys are so wild

[@THEKINGOREN0]

Why did you removed the front fender?

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

Replacing it with a white one to give more color.

[@shlomovenezia101]

u guys rule ok

[@shanebaird-the-ebikecowboy]

Ok!

[@JaneKLX]

70x100/19 is not good for rear wheel. Low profile for riding in the woods is wrong. Talaria rattles a lot because the rear shock absorber is not good. I had a Michelin StarCross 5 Soft and when dry it was worse than the original CST tire. The original CST is very poor in wet, muddy terrain. Today I will be giving a Journey P2001 3" x 19" rear and a MAXXIS 70/100 - 19 MAXXCROSS SI M-7311 42M N.H.S front for the Talaria MX4.

[@singletrackslim6667]

No you’re not. Those chain blocks won’t fit 😂
