Replacing a car with an E-Bike

Currently looking at getting a Segway Xyber or the new Ariel Rider Grizzly. Need range and speed when I want it. Typical commute is roughly 10 miles. City is pretty lax on e-bike regulations. What other viable options with that speed, range and price point are there? Currently using a regular pedal bike to get everywhere which I love, but it’s getting pretty old going up a hill at 3 miles an hour with the wind in my face and cars getting mad behind me.

Is the can am origin being discontinued?

I know the sales have been bad because the range is pretty awful, but now I'm seeing all accessories were 80% off now 50%? I've been looking to get one.

Range and support is what's keeping me away. There are some killer deals on it now, but I don't want to be stuck with a brick.

Electric Dirt bike suggestions for nimbleness and longevity, budget not a big issue

Hello,

New here. Looking for suggestions for a pair of dirt bikes for the San Juan islands in WA.

The longevity of the bike is most important as we hope to have these last for years.

The range is not as important due to island being 6 square miles in size.

Looking for two bikes that are somewhat family friendly, but can also rip. I’m 6’ 190 while the rest of the family is 5’6-6’.

The terrain includes steep hills and gravel roads. A nimble bike would be ideal.

Debating Surron and Talaria. Open to suggestions

Honda WN7: What do you all think of Honda’s first electric motorcycle?

Who would of thought we’d see the day Honda brings out their first fully electric motorcycle.

I got to have a go on the new Honda WN7 and I’m just curious what everyone else thinks of it really. Is this something you could see yourself owning, or do you think electric bikes still have a long way to go?

One thing I will say, I didn’t get the 80 miles of range it says I should have… but to be fair I was pretty heavy on the throttle 😂

I’ve done a first impressions review on it here: Honda WN7: Honda’s First Electric Motorcycle… But Who Is It Really For?

I’ll leave it there if anyone wants to see it, if that’s cool. I’m more intrested to hear what other riders think of the bike.

Big Tina’s first weekend at camp -

MX5 did great! I replaced the tires with tusk recon in the front, and tusk ground wire in the rear, but I wish they were wider. All the usual taller rider mods. Too much fun! I forgot to bring the break in oil change bottle with me. I’m at 200 miles and have 2 more days at camp 😑

2025 Zero S Electric Motorcycle

The smooth, quiet, and powerful passing power on the expressway. I love the performance! Who else loves the performance of their Zero? Any videos to share?

My foolish friend let me ride his e-moto.

Luckily he warned me about the torque beforehand or this would have been much worse. I blipped the throttle on dismount and held on out of instinct. Handlebars popped back and bit me. About 3 inches from my favorite testicle.

Ordered a velocifero jump

I've had my eyes on a velocifero jump for a few years now, and I finally just ordered one. I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with one, and they could share some insights? Thanks

Zeromanual.com down

FYI I am aware that the Unofficial Zero Manual is offline. I was the lead contributor, but I do not own nor can I manage the site. I have informed the site owner.

re: https://www.reddit.com/r/ZeroMotorcycles/s/aA5IZsH58R I was permanently banned from the ZeroMotorcycles sub-Reddit by an admin for no stated reason, and they have not replied to appeals. I believe this was done out of malice, as they have not cited what rule I violated in my relatively few actions there.

I own another domain, zeromanual.org and have site database backups. I can rehost if the community supports it. I’ve offered to take hosting off of the owner’s hands, but he does not trust me.

Thank you, community, and I’m sorry this situation broke down over the last few years. I had chronic migraines for long enough that it stopped me riding. I am still interested in electric motorcycles as an engineer.

emoto questions

i know, i know. i have seen many posts here and i know emotos/emopeds tend to not be very popular. that said, i have used my friends and im pretty set on getting one if im gonna get any ebike. so far the kingbull ranger and gotrax ranger have stood out to me as trustworthy and somewhat good-looking bikes. they fit in my budget and get mainly good reviews from what ive seen. im not entirely satisfied with the look of these bikes though so, in the case that i get one, id like to mod it (cosmetic only). im wondering if anyone knows if the light, handlebar, and seat cover on these specific models are switchable? i know these are easy changes on some bikes but im not sure about these and i cant find any resources online (sorry if i missed something somewhere, please redirect me). thanks in advance and please tell me if im missing something especially about legality!

Heavier Rider

So I am looking at getting an E moto bike I am 250lbs. I have been looking at the Talaria Komodo and the Y-Volt Surge due to them having higher max rider weight. For reference I ride a Honda 250L Dual Sport Motorcycle. About a year experience riding. Which of the two bikes would you suggest or do you suggest something else?

How do you deal with range anxiety on your electric motorcycle?

Range and charging are still my biggest headaches with an electric motorcycle.

I always end up planning every ride around battery percentage because I'm paranoid about getting stranded halfway home.

The problem is it kind of kills the fun. I avoid going too far, skip random detours, and constantly check the battery instead of just enjoying the ride.

Lately I’ve been wondering if mods are the only real solution — bigger battery, dual battery setup, controller upgrade, whatever.

How do you guys deal with range anxiety?

Do you just get used to it, carry extra batteries, plan charging stops, or actually modify the bike?

Help deciding on bike

Hi everyone I'm in the UK and looking to get an electric motor bike to simply travel back and forth to work corner shop runs etc rather than using the car. What options are out there? Note: I do like cafe racer style bikes

What gear do you never ride without?

I'm putting together my riding setup and would love some recommendations.

Helmet is already on the list.

What other gear do you consider absolutely essential?
