Seems expensive but there are savings as it doesn’t need gasoline, oil, filters and maintenance work. I like it !!!

When I wear out my current fun bike, BMW G650 X MOTO, I will certainly consider something like this. Reckon it might need a gentle right hand on wet roundabouts though.

9:36, the guy in the background is just staring. You get used to that on a Zero.

A great city bike no doubt, at the price though it is a bit severe. Your reviews are highly regarded by myself and lots of others watching your vids. Thanks for this review , Would love to hear your views on the Yamaha 700 tracer as part of your mid sized tourer series. Safe riding.

Thanks again Pavlin. Very good video.

I hope you don’t mind but I will add my opinion on electrical bikes..

These bikes are the future even the Isle of Man TT has an electric bike category. The manufacturers will make these bike the future in the same way as they did with 4stroke engine technology. Simply put if the pro riders are riding these bikes people will want it..

The downside isn’t battery life it’s the infrastructure, a clever way to increase journey distance is for example a refuelling station providing charged batteries to go then your journey can be continuous. But if the battery is integrated like in this model or the batteries require so many different styles of connectors just like in battery power tools then this isn’t a viable solution..

In an ideal world these companies will invest in interchangeable technologies and incourage owners to keep their bikes when the battery needs replacing but in reality these conpanies will need you to buy a whole new bike essentially destroying any environmental credibility they are preaching.

Sorry for my 2 pence..

Christian..

What happens when you chop the throttle? Is it breaking hard or nothing?

“I don’t know what I’m gonna do with my left hand”. easy, you hold the mirror

Future !!! 🙂

I hope this isn´t the Future, I really hope! This only feels like an option cause the World is guided by Idiots! Sorry to say that but it´s true 🙁

“Pollution free” vehicles ARE an option! There are no discuses about that, but in case of electric vehicles do the f… somebody cares about where all the freakin energy for our batteries should come from???

We want to quit nuclear power, we want to quit coal… i mean wtf!?

Nice. We’ve had a nissan leaf as our family car for the last few years and that low-end power from the electric motor still makes me smile. It’s so strange to feel the strong pull right from a standstill. I think you’re right – electric bikes are probably the future, especially for city riding.

Excellent review… I think because it’s powered on a battery, they call the engine a motor. If it ran on petrol it would be considered an engine. In either case, it looks like a fun bike to have for sure.

The thing I love about bikes is I never have to stop pulling oily bits off of them or Stripping bits down and rebuilding them. That’s the trouble with electric bikes, too quiet, too clean too simple too expensive by all accounts, but for me too boring. The wonky mirror was the only good bit. Sorry just my opinion. Glad you liked it Pavlin, you are a good sport and this was a very good review. I did enjoy it very much. Great little machine. Can I ask is this bike road tax exempt in Germany or isn’t that appplicable there ?

Me, I dont have any heart ache for petrol engines. Electrical is perfectly fine….except not today….just too expensive, few places where you can charge

Is the engine-braking effect strong on this one? Most electric vehicles (bmw c-series electric scooter for example) even turn the brake lights on when if you try to coast, since the bike slows down so fast.

like a tesla put ferrari motor sound through stereo system

A bike that can do 120-130 kmh and perhaps reach up to 100km… Well, it’s not for me 😉

This is one bike that can give you ‘more smiles per mile’. It’s not the range but the fun factor per distance. Sure the initial cost is high but I’m sure the savings will come in the long run since it won’t have to come in for shorter service intervals for lubrication, etc. It’s a perfect bike to go through small neighborhoods and even quiet country side roads without disturbing anyone with a loud pipe or buzzing engine. Power always comes instantly in most electric vehicles (like Tesla cars) because of its direct drive system which can become addictive haha. I’d love to own an electric bike like this someday.

Hi Pavlin, it is a very interesting bike. Since years i am a fan of electro mobility and i already drove a lot of kilometers with a electric car (BMW i3) in my job. The acceleration and the driving fun is really fantastic!!! But the electro vehicles are still much to expensive …. i will wait a few years for a used one. Ride safe, Hans

great review no engine sound fells like flying with wind

No noise has advantages to, no need for earplug

When electric bikes have a range of >300km and charging stations away from cities they would be hard to ignore for most people. The whole no noise thing I just can’t get used to. I’m sure one day there will be hybrid bikes which could be very interesting!
