The Rawrr Mantis has a 72v 35Ah hour battery - giving the bike 7.5kW of peak power - with a nominal power of 5kW.
Similar to most electric dirt bikes in this genre, the bike features a KKE fork - the difference is that this fork is slightly longer and features stiffer, steel internals, as opposed to the aluminum that we’re used to seeing from KKE.
The rear shock on the Mantis is also KKE - but you can see that it does not have a linkage, and therefore, is a direct mount to the swing arm.
It’s got your standard 19 inch front and rear wheel set but it features tires with a more aggressive tread pattern than what we’re used to seeing on these bikes.
The Mantis comes with direct mount bar clamps that have an optional riser and multiple fore and aft mounting positions. It’s also got this bar mount for attaching devices like a phone or GPS to your bike.
The Rawrr Mantis weighs in at 165 pounds and a current MSRP of $4,999

Looks promising, there is talk that they are going for a DOT approval so it can be registered normally.

That direct mounted rear shock, and odd seating ergonomics kill the whole bike IMO 🤷🏻‍♂️

@ElectroBikesusa 5 ай бұрын

Rawrr was offering an aftermarket replacement lid for the seat that brings it up to level with the seat line. Although I think it should just come with that on future models because the dip in the front is weird when riding it.

I never got why these companies do not ask actual riders what needs improved before pumping them out to the masses.

What I don't get. How come BYD sells cars for 15K but we have to put 5K for a play electric bike.

@jasper_of_puppets 5 ай бұрын

Economies of scale. BYD sells millions and millions of cars each year to the 1.4 billion car drivers in the world. Play electric bikes, however, do not have such an audience. According to Surron's website, they've sold ~70,000 Light Bee units worldwide. That's a far cry from automobile sales.

THANK YOU TUCKER, I've been eyeing these at POWER HAMAYA IN A place called Sublimity, but the STARK VARG steals the Show, I'm a bit concerned about the Stark Varg, I can see myself riding Day & Night, Hot or Cold, Legal or Not, and then I'd be in the ER, maybe the Morgue? But what a way to Go, LOL....IDK? I'd like to have those stats , How many injured, how many killed having the time of their lives... Count Me IN🌞Out of curiosity, How much is the RAWRR going for?

@user-dv7hb2sc9m 5 ай бұрын

There're so many different bikes now that it's somewhat confusing.... lol, I'm looking at these but for a dual sport type of usage but w/ all these types/sizes of electric bikes I'm wondering how each State will rate/classify these? For mopeds it's generally about 50cc's or less that doesn't need Tags/Insurance but w/ these electric bikes it's all up in the air? I'm very interested in how various States will decide? Motor sizes, speeds, weight, or who knows but they'll want to make money so expect it in the near future? Thanks for the review...... peace & GB ALL

I had to register my 49cc Honda ruckus in PA lol. Just ordered a 72v 2024 mantis as well. Wanted a pro s but don’t want to wait forever.

@user-dv7hb2sc9m 4 ай бұрын

Yeah, there are 4 "Commonwealth States" & I lived in one but Penn State is one as well & in those States they tend to be more on top of making the people PAY..... lol, I rode a 49cc moped(Tomos) but it looked like a little motorcycle that had a faring on it. 20" tires made it have good control but outta the box it went like 32mph. I added a muffler & tweaked the thing up to 44 or so. I had lost my DL for 3 yrs & needed this to travel, I expect all States to go after the whole electric 2 wheeled market since there are lots of wrecks & many thefts plus their value is high dollar so they'll force insurance & tags soon. IT's about your money, not your safety so I'm waiting until they make the rules & I'll come in under the rules so I can be as FREE as possible. You be safe & thanks for sharing. peace

I'm still leaning towards to Ultra Bee, but there might be something better before summer.

@tommym3876 5 ай бұрын

Ultra bee way to go I have one and it definitely won’t disappoint but the new talaria dragon (their new full-size dirtbike) is coming out but not till late 2024 but it is a little bigger than the ultra bee and has some good specs from what I’ve heard but it’s all still up in the air for now.

@davidmcdermott3415 5 ай бұрын

I think with the upgraded wheels, the Ultra is what I'm looking for.

I got to ride a Rawrr Mantis and it was ok. It was bigger than Light Bee and it was pretty zippy and fun to ride. But my modified Light Bee still stomps it.

@ElectroBikesusa 5 ай бұрын

Had the 60volt one and traded it out. Super great build quality, but even the 72volt leaves one wanting more power, speed, and torque when compared to the others out of the box. With upgrades it can be something good for taller riders.

@yermommy777 5 ай бұрын

The market is getting flooded with some many copy/paste surrons over the past 3 years. Surron, Talaria, Mantis, AdmitJet, Solar E-Clipse, etc... So many companies have taken the Surron frame and just swapped motors, batteries, controllers, and suspension to rebrand as something new. I love seeing the progression, but there has not been much innovation since the original surron launched.
