Johan, it's just logic dude... On a gas bike, you gotta wait for the throttle to open, fuel to be injected, fuel to burn, turbo to spin, and on and on, then you get your power. when you twist on an electric bike, all your power is there immediately. Now in a top speed battle, electric isn't there yet, but IN THE CITY where acceleration is key, you can't beat an electric.

UhHuh, electric motors aren't instant either. There's only so much current you can draw from the battery pack before it goes up in flames so that's one limit... You have to wait for the motor to start rotating before you can get useful power out of it. You can definitely feel it in the bike as you go from zero accelerator input to max. And besides that, electric motors have a sweet spot just like combustion engines have. But since there's no gearing, a lot of transmission losses are gone and since you don't have to shift ever you have constant acceleration all the way to top speed.

The thing I missed most on the FXS was the interaction with people from revving to comunicate with other bikes or nice cars. But People did ask is that electric though. My other gripe was range since I do all highway. But its a great city bike if you dont get on the highway at all. Or if you have a consistent 9-5 and can charge at work. But even then you wont be able to ride out with your buddies after work and ride for 5 hours. All ya can really do it ride back home because it will take too long to charge back up. I love the bike but they need to get the batteries to be lighter, charge faster, last longer, and lastly come down on price.

Its a serious problem the range limitation, but driving for 2 hours then taking a 40minute break to charge up at a charge station isn't quite as bad, say for a 500km trip, just make 40 minute stops every 2 hours or so.

My mistake this bike is 33kw, so a2 compliant. They also do a1 bikes as well. The big one is only 45kw or 60hp, but serious torque.
@alt5726 жыл бұрын
a1 is 11kw. I believe A1 and A2 also have a power to weight ratio limit, but cannot remember off the top of my head

There really is something to awe at with electric bikes. The instantaneous and brutal torque is absolutely addictive. There are actually several manufacturers working on two and three speed gearboxes for EVs. A difficult engineering problem, electric motors tend to shred conventional gearboxes in very short order. Interesting times.

This bike seems great for someone like RJ who rides in a big congested city, but I don't think it'd work for me. I live 15 miles from the nearest town, so I'd be constantly worried about range while out and about for the day. They look fun as all hell with the instant torque, but I just couldn't live with one until the range is higher.

So wait a few years, that is the point. The tech is evolving so fast now, and the new cells from Tesla hold 50% more charge than the last generation. I think by 2025 we will have a viable 150+ mile per charge model. Atm the major benefits to stop start city riding is the instant torque and when you are still you use zero power plus at low speeds they are incredibly efficient.
@alt5726 жыл бұрын
The zero sr/dsr already has 120+ mile combined range. The only prohibitive factor is the price of being an early adopter. Prices will fall with time
@Louie90006 жыл бұрын
This has a 150 mile range, so you would do 30 miles a day going to work and back each day, lets add another 10 just incase so that 40 miles, so you could go a full 3 days (with 30 miles left) without NEEDING to charge but of you got one you could just leave it on charge over night while you sleep and then you would always have charge.

real world range of this bike is closer to 50 miles - the bigger models S/DS around 100. Source: Been riding one for a year.

I bet in some situations you really had to hold yourself back from trying to rev it to make yourself heard. Thats the thing I dont like most about e-bikes. You have to rely on people just seeing you.

Riding with the assumption that someone has seen you/heard you, even if they've made eye contact with you, is a great way to get knocked off. Defensive riding is more effective than a noticable bike.

Glad you reviewed this. This is what I ride, been commuting on it for just over a year now :D It's as you say - really quite light (at 130 or so kgs) and quite nimble. Not great on highways though. However I would like to say that insuring it is a fucking nightmare, most underwriters won't even quote for it.

That's standard bike riding in any European city. In Canada and America lane splitting is mostly frowned upon, unofficially illegal or plainly illegal, according to individual state laws. It's only legal in California but that doesn't mean they won't get their panties in a knot and road rage you for cutting traffic.
