I bought a RX1E pre sale 11/22 and it arrived in 05/19/23. The bike is a joy to ride and stress free. Low/no maintenance, throttle and break controls like a scooter, range is good for me and the fun of riding two-wheels makes me feel young (I’m 52 now). I charge twice a week and ride everyday to run errands, commute (3days/week), or just get out of the house. I based my purchase on research online, calling CSC and early reviews on YT and this channel,appreciate the hard work and quality videos you create.

[@spartankittygames]

Does the bike holdup in the rain?

[@goostador]

@@spartankittygames I've ridden a few times in light rain and the bike still runs. Sidebar: I live in the South Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area and folks don't know how to drive in the rain here so I try not to ride in the rain.

[@Ryan.Kooper]

I'm so sorry you bought one of these paperweights....

[@goostador]

@@Ryan.Kooper it's fast/zippy enough for me and my needs. I'm not a reckless driver and need to speed everywhere. Here in California I can legally split and filter which makes my commute/rides shorter.

[@AlexanderRiehl]

@goostador, what kind of range are you seeing if you put it in Comfort mode and hold 65? I'm really interested in one of these, but I need to make sure I can make it to work and back (~10 minutes/5 miles city and 20 miles highway at 65), so I figure if it can do 60 miles at 65 I'm golden.

[@joeminter]

Great review, as usual. Bike would be perfect for my 35 mile round-trip commute. And the best thing with electric: I wake up with a full "tank" every morning.

[@singlespeed2760]

Came for the unboxing part of the video and got my fix. Stayed for the rest of the video as always. I think this is the best all around of the electric motorcycles being offer right now when you factor in price. Thanks

[@Drive4YourLifeAZ]

Dude, your videos on all things electric bikes are awesome, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world.

[@gildisc9759]

I like the compartments especially. You can even transport the charger so if you get stuck you can recharge.

[@CoquiUnlimitedOfficial]

Absolutely loving these videos, pure entertainment and educational. It’s a win-win. 👍🏻

[@rjb4899]

This guy is the goat for electric items thanks for reviews man ! Keep it going !

[@jimmyfiscus1977]

Love this bike and your review! Reminds me of my 1982 Honda CM450. Wish that I had the money to buy one to teach my kids to ride on! God Bless You and Keep FL Great!

[@KD-nj4fj]

thank you for another well done evaluation. I value your opinion on these machines and wouldnt purchase one without hearing from you on its performance.

[@PhG1961]

This bike looks amazing! It has something like a BMW GS! Awesome review!

Great job on the video Micah! Thanks for making it.

[@pinkies_up_garage]

Great content. I've always enjoyed your insight on e motorcycles

[@philtucker1224]

Wow! I’m impressed that they let you have reusable ratchet straps as well! Quality! 😎

[@markmuir7338]

Wow - this is very similar in looks and range to my 2014 Zero SR (with a 13kWh battery), but costs as much as just the side boxes on my Zero! Awesome 😎

[@EDV8ZR1]

Well if this E-Motorcycle is that Cheap I might have to buy a few.

[@philtucker1224]

Are you kidding us Mark?🤔

[@philtucker1224]

Does it come with the correct documents for registration ? (Did you experience any problems there?)

[@markmuir7338]

A little. The Zero cost $22k on the road, and the side boxes + top box + mounting frame came to $4000. So this Chinese replica is double the price of the Zero's boxes. But I imagine the prices all went up since I bought mine (2014).

[@philtucker1224]

@@markmuir7338 That’s obviously a mistake somewhere I think. This motorbike would have to be around 6k on the road to sell in any obvious numbers.

[@gregsmith1116]

Hi Mica! Thanks for another great video!

[@anthonysantana]

The more I see it, the more I want to buy one. The price is amazing, compared to others, and the 80mph top speed is perfect for my wants/needs, but the range at top speed and the overall charging speed is just not enough for me. Granted, this does make a perfect city commuter bike. I'd be sold right away if it had 100 mile range at max speed for this price. The perfect e-motorcycle unicorn that is this cheap, has a lot more range at higher speeds, and faster charging speeds will come a few years down the line eventually. For now, I think an ICE bike will have to be my go-to.

[@abbaby555]

This is really a nice affordable transportation option, I don't know much about CSC bikes but it looks well done 👍

[@basecampboards]

I love the cool look. Nice review video, keep up the good work!

[@bil9572]

just found your channel and I'm all in. Great content.

[@loumon2]

I enjoyed this as I haven't seen any videos on electric motorcycles.

[@genepothier8398]

Great review as usual .. great info.

[@lockhga]

Your videos are interesting and informative. I’ve watched a few of them now and I didn’t realize you’ve written books too. I’ve just gone back to school at 48 yrs old to get my electrician red seal so that will take 4 years but all is excellent so far! All of your books are very intriguing yet I believe I’d be most interested in the DIY Solar Power. Thank you and have a great day! 👍😇

[@1MinuteFlipDoc]

The Red Seal program is a joint initiative of the Canadian government and the provinces and territories. The program is managed by the Inter-provincial Red Seal Program (IRSP), which sets the national standards for apprenticeships and trade certifications. To obtain a Red Seal, an electrician must: Complete a recognized apprenticeship program Successfully complete the Red Seal exam Have a minimum of two years of on-the-job experience

[@michaelblankenship548]

You're mistaken when you say the price is because of the features. The price is because of the battery. The battery alone for this bike is more than half the price. I'd like to have one of these, but I'd really like to see a long term review before investing in one. My biggest concern is how long of a lifespan that battery will have. With the cost of a replacement battery, you might be as well off to replace the whole bike. One of the biggest problems with electric vehicles is nobody really wants a used one because the batteries are so expensive to replace.

[@Keyshawnsofficial]

It's the motor more

This bike seems to be the BEST VALUE in an electric motorcycle at the moment. The market is beginning to get exciting. I'm looking forward to see if Ryvid fulfills it's claims. I also can't wait for someone to convert a Stark Varg into a supermoto.

Boy that is one fast bike there. looks good, but here in my area its more of a slow laid back [thankfully] way of doing everything. I want to check out those Ebikes they have, they look great. another thing to look at & dream about being able to buy.

My 500cc gasoline motorcycle gets about 40 mpg at 80mph or 100 mpg at 50mph, wind resistance is really a big factor.

Sorry if I missed the detail but did it come with a regular plug in slow charger and if so how long would it take to charge from one third charged, back to full charge please?

[@sammybrown4680]

😂 Nicolas Cage that's who he reminds me of . Great video. Very informative as usual . Florida is steaming hot.

[@seanlunsford8666]

One thing I noticed in this video is that the lower front looks fairly wide, compared to the average ICE motorcycle. Does that affect one’s body position while riding or standing with the bike?

[@blurreaper1238]

I had the 125 version of this the sinnis terrain. It was a comfortable bike

[@etdweasel]

What’s the charging like on this? I see it has a separate (assuming, proprietary) charger, so no easy charging out & about…correct?

[@pavelboguslavsky9703]

nice looking motorcycle

[@rbuschy]

Hi, is this Ebikes For Good something you have to enter weekly and is it US only?

[@philokevetch8691]

I've been on the fence regarding EV bikes for quite a while. But this one makes me want to do some off the fence hopping. Pleasant review to say the least. ☺️

[@STho205]

This is a proper motorcycle able to hold a position in a lane from 10mph to 80 without being in the way or constantly passed by frustrated and nervous drivers. It also has proper signals, lighting and a shape to be seen. Too many eBicycles have speeds that can get you into trouble but 10mph minimal bicycle lighting, reflectors and riders with little foam beanies that isn't going to save your face, neck head in a 50mph B Pillar hit or a slide. If getting this, and not a motorcyclist...please obtain proper training, gear and licencing. This is the identical frame, wheels and HP of CSCs 250cc naked sportbike...so don't kid yourself this is a park eBike.

[@goostador]

I have this bike and really enjoy it. I commute 3 days 7 miles on street or freeway. I live near San Jose and this area is perfect for this bike. Hit me up if you have questions

[@philokevetch8691]

[@mattphilip3266]

Do they ship to Canada? My beloved scooter "Humphrey" was stolen this year and I've been looking for an electric to fill the hole in my soul.

[@Stryford1]

Seems like a pretty cool motorcycle. Makes me wonder if I should try and get a motorcycle license. 😆

[@dirty-moto]

Why not! I started with motorcycles a year and a half ago and have recently gotten interested in e-bikes as well. Some of which are virtually motorcycles already, so good that I'm already licensed! Plus the riding techniques and defensive skills you learn for passing the riding exam are very transferable to any 2-wheeled vehicle you take onto the roadway.

[@Alttabbins]

I always love your videos. I started with an ebike watching your videos, and have since then started getting more and more interested in e-everything. I have an electric car now, a couple ebikes, and am looking at solar solutions to help charge some of it off the grid. I'd love a copy of your DIY Solar!

[@Family.Stamenoff]

What is the battery life of the bike. With other words, do you know how many charges will take before dies.

[@totalkaos1580]

I was lucky enough to ride one of the RX1E for a couple weeks and thoroughly enjoyed it. Micah you forgot to mention the Bosch ABS brakes and the three different riding modes.

[@punkinsgarageandpaint8299]

This I so interesting. I'd like to ride one to seehow the weight balance is.

[@swyork]

Cool bike, like them, but too scared to ride them in the big city. too many people don't watch out for them. Like your videos

[@AlbertAlejandro]

I would like to get my motorcycle license one day soon but I don't want to learn on a gas motorcycle. Can I bring my own electric motorcycle to a motorcycle training school? What about taking the actual road test? Do I bring my own motorcycle or do they provide one?

[@JohnWick-ez6vs]

If that's gonna be launched in India, I would be the one to book it first.

Yes! And without any after sales support this bike will be useless and worthless after a year.

[@yupsir791]

Is the battery liquid-cooled or only the motor?

[@Milkybar3320011]

Let’s hope the battery chemistry has long legs as this would be the the most expensive item, having the battery BMS on my electric motorcycle fail, it was a very expensive replacement as all the cell died too.

[@brianracz2553]

Thanks!

[@EbikeSchool]

You bet!

[@TheMongo1357]

Nice review! Could you outfit that with 3 different suit-case solar panels to help keep it charged on the go? I'm betting the range would increase even with the trickle charging??? Thought provoking.....
