The Eride Pro-SS FAILED ME // high speed range test and breakdown

I decided to go out and do a high speed range test averaging 50+mph to see what kind of results I’d get at those speeds. Turns out the bike has some weak spots when it comes to how the heat from the motor, controller and battery is distributed. The weather that day was in the high 50s to low 60s. I diagnosed the battery as the problem when I got home. I tried to plug in the battery as soon as I got back and realized it wouldn’t charge. I also noticed the battery was also pretty hot so I went ahead and let the battery cool down. After letting it cool for about 4 hours, I gave charging it another shot and it filled right up without issue. I went for another test ride and everything seemed back to normal. It was a little annoying knowing that this could happen but it was a lesson well learned.

Hey I just purchased a new ss online. Are there any extended warranty options for these bikes?

[@BronxCincere]

@@1smacks116 I noticed that Voromotors is selling the ss and when I had my move cruiser they were very good on warranty issues. however after the year was over and 5k miles later they wanted to start charging which I then used my technical knowledge and made my own repairs. With their assistance and instructions.

[@eMotoAZ]

The only problem with that response is that it was pretty cool outside, it would be worse if it was between 80 and 100 degrees.

[@MASC440]

Perhaps some 1/2" vent holes in the motor bash plate and/or around the controller will help keep the battery cooler? Good vid.

Great idea

[@impleasen]

Turning it on after unplugging it to completely drain it is brilliant

[@burn1gotbeats]

Do you take your bike up any steps it looks like you store it in the building I’m asking because I have like 8 steps to my basement back door not sure if it’s to heavy of a bike or not.

[@Thrillowatt]

It's a heavy bike to pushup or down steps. Depending on how steep they are and what the spacing is, it's doable. If you have room in front of and behind them, you could always just ride up/down the steps.

[@burn1gotbeats]

@@Thrillowatt thx man it’s kinda steep but I think it’s possible with a little practice I appreciate the reply bro 😎.

[@The10thManRules]

Nothing on this planet, manufactured by man, is 100% perfect. The best, most reliable cars have had recalls. That said, based on the math (9.4 miles @ 59%) would have had you at around 23 miles of total range at that speed had your bike not shit the bed. Had you kept it at around 50mph, you might have got 30miles out of it and made it home with no problem. I also suggest that you at least add one mirror on the left side so you can see what's behind you on the road.

[@Thrillowatt]

[@MiHU_]

What about the turbo button? Is this bike going to get a firmware update or something to have the full power in sport mode? I've seen a lot of videos of the machine, and somebody had to use the turbo button, while others didn't. This part is kinda confusing.

[@Thrillowatt]

The turbo button used to give extra power but around January they unlocked that full power in sport mode with no need for the turbo button. Hope that answers your question

[@MiHU_]

@@Thrillowatt Thanks a lot! One more thing. How did they unlocked the full power in sport mode?

[@Thrillowatt]

​@@MiHU_​@MiHU_ it's simply a firmware update. Basically they told the controller to just use turbo mode as sport mode. Surronster just released a video that compares the old model to the new one. I found that pretty insightful

These are in high demand right now. This thing is Action right out the box. Just hope you receive the newer version before the controller tune they just did, they also have ODI type number plate, light switch and things like that. Anywhos, All Aloha!

[@femacampetiquettefordummie6979]

If Eride expects the Pro-SS to operate at high speed levels, for an extended period of time, they need to redesign the placement controller. Heat = Bad...Cool air = Good.

[@UmarAbdullahOrtiz]

What was the distance you drove it?

[@justyn89teo]

a temp sensor on the battery that show on the screen so you can monitor when it overheats would be a good solution, then you can manage how long you can push it without this happening

[@Thrillowatt]

I asked about this, unfortunately they Said it's not possible. Bummer. Would be awesome with an aftermarket controller and display

[@jaredbickford1]

is there a way to properly break in a new bike???

[@Thrillowatt]

There are some procedures like bedding in the brakes, tightening the belt and chain after they stretch out, tightening spokes and verifying correct tire pressure, and charging the battery to fill to balance the cells but besides that with electric, you don't have to do much!

[@robguzman4095]

What version is this no turbo button?

[@fiscustom5893]

He has the light switch so its the updated version and turbo does still work but only adds 2 mph and takes it from 61 to 63pmh

this is the 2.0 version as @fiscustom5893 has pointed out. Although I can't tell a difference with turbo mode engaged. Even at top speed I don't see a difference.

Good video. Ppl crack me up though saying junk or that’s why electric sucks! If you run a gas engine at its max rpm for to long it will over heat or “blow up”.

[@andrewsanchez9618]

Is this the 2.0?

[@WFMguy]

Yeah, that sounds about right. I would just let off gunning it after 10 seconds and let it cool down for a few minutes. You rode it really hard for a while for it being air cooled. Haha. Off road you wouldnt have that issue. The SS Pro says "dont take me out on the streets full throttle all the time. I'm not made for that". 😂 Good video, man.

[@Thrillowatt]

Yeah these high power electric bikes don't like it when you pin in it for a while. Even the stark varg cuts out when exposed to that type of riding. Hopefully as technology improves we will see less and less of these problems.

[@WFMguy]

@@Thrillowatt Really? The Stark Varg? I was thinking that was liquid cooled. For the price and amount of power it puts out, it should be. Agreed on the technology. It'll ofc improve. Along with the range!

@@falcosparverius1 Oh yeah. In my opinion it doesnt need it. Its an off road trail bike. Something like the Varg should have it though. Thats a high endurance motocross type bike. For the price, never mind what its meant for, they should have designed for a liquid cooling system. Bad business move. E-ride did good though for what the bike is. Very good. What is it like $400 more for a 72v vs a 60v on the Sur-ron, better motor, slightly bigger for taller riders? Smart. Man I cant wait to get one of these damn things!

Honestly I dont see many people riding the bike like this at high speeds for long durations of time, so i dont think manyyy people will have issues with it however this is a good video in case anything ever does happen

[@140theguy]

They're sucking too much juice from the battery plain and simple. If you're looking for high performance pretty much every bike on the market needs a battery upgrade. Batteries are expensive so that's where most places cut their corners. Also, that's a dirt bike. Bikes like this are not designed for sustained high speed. Off-road trail riding and you're rarely full throttle for more than 10 or 15 seconds before you let off. There's not many places off-road you can do 60 mi an hour until the battery goes dead. I know you guys don't like to hear this but again... that's a dirt bike.

[@Thrillowatt]

I agree wholeheartedly

[@JP_077]

[@Thrillowatt]

They are pretty different bikes for different use cases. If you have access to lots of trails and a way to get the bike there I'd say an ultra bee could be the one for you. But if you plan to ride on the street at all I'd say go with the Pro SS as it's a bit more stealthy and has a lesser chance of getting pulled over.

[@pf6797]

[@mywing383]

its like u hitting the limiter on a dirt bike for the whole time when u don't let off no shit this happened

[@Thrillowatt]

That sounds like a good move

[@The10thManRules]

The battery overtemp worked as designed. There isn't anything wrong with the bike, based on it's design. Had the batter not recharged after cooling down, totally different story. This is rider error, in the same way had you rode it through deep water and it died on you. Yes, the bike has an IPX rating, but there are limits one should not attempt to push the bike in water. Just in the same way that people that break major components were probably doing major stunts. Something has to give, eventually.
