    Been in India for the past 3 years and I know that there’s a bike called the Ultraviolette F77.
    About the same performance as a Duke 390 and a true range of about 150 miles.
    Priced at around $6950(direct conversion) in India, word is that it’s coming States-side next year.

  2. @zoneout2thawrld on January 31, 2025 at 6:02 pm

    Much safer i ordered a few of these yet to arrive im excited

  3. @curtis906 on January 31, 2025 at 6:03 pm

    Fun Fact: Not busy on the weekend, buy CSC RX1E and door dash with it as it will pay itself off pretty fast. Took me a year to pay it off at 150$ per weekend for a few hours of my time.

  4. @Abbottsmile on January 31, 2025 at 6:06 pm

    Coupon code didn’t work :/

  5. @barriewilliams4526 on January 31, 2025 at 6:06 pm

    I would like one, but I cannot get house insurance as it would be kept in my garage which is attached to my house🙁

  6. @toughguy2186 on January 31, 2025 at 6:08 pm

    $7400 !!! with these specs ??? you kidding me ??? liquid cooled motor, belt drive… judging by origin of the components, after 1000 miles this bike will become a service and repair money pit, value wise it’s not worth even half of it. Please review “EAhora M1P Pro” half the price even with 2 (TWO) batteries in the battery compartment, up to 53 mph and 80 miles AGGRESSIVE riding, almost 0 service requirements, love to hear your opinion about “Eahora”.

  7. @nogasdash on January 31, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    They no longer sell them it seems!

  8. @Usefullinformationphilippines on January 31, 2025 at 6:10 pm

    Gas motorcycles are still 1000 times better for much less money

  9. @justwannachillwithya on January 31, 2025 at 6:11 pm

    Gave a thumbs up but the varying loudness background(?) music is QUITE distracting.

  10. @ethibododo on January 31, 2025 at 6:11 pm

    How loud or quiet is it when it’s being driven? I’ve tried to find this out in different videos, but everyone mutes it and plays music and / or talks during the riding segments.

  11. @BluesCat1980 on January 31, 2025 at 6:12 pm

    I don’t trust electric vehicles.

  12. @Kevin-xz4jq on January 31, 2025 at 6:18 pm

    This is a huge step in the right direction. If i were a uni student, this would be top of my list

  13. @howardphung281 on January 31, 2025 at 6:18 pm

    How is this bike compared with Sondor ?

  14. @loudsonicbug2195 on January 31, 2025 at 6:18 pm

    Kinda makes me wanna get an e moto now

  15. @ayokay123 on January 31, 2025 at 6:21 pm

    Getting a lot closer, but range still isn’t good enough.

  16. @psalm2forliberty577 on January 31, 2025 at 6:21 pm

    $8,500 ?
    I got a pristine 2008 Vstrom 650 with 12k miles for $3,600 OTD.
    Can tour anywhere @ 55 mpg / 250 miles / tank.

    Uber reliable engine never breaks just change syn oil & filters.
    Oh yeah it goes 110 mph.

    0% interest in EV bikes.

    PS thanks for being honestly realistic about it’s #s & limitations.
    For city dwellers with short commutes & near a charger day & night I see it could work well.

  17. @Ramonatho on January 31, 2025 at 6:21 pm

    Weight is still a big issue for me. I would love these specs at around 200 lbs because I can’t really work with anything heavier than that.

  18. @artboymoy on January 31, 2025 at 6:22 pm

    Does this bike do fast charging? Would have been nice to see the port or if you have to take the battery out to be charged.

  19. @5150hammerhead on January 31, 2025 at 6:22 pm

    Looks pretty cool for it’s purpose . What are your thoughts meta and the anthem compared to this?

  20. @korbyngaines4382 on January 31, 2025 at 6:23 pm

    I’m in Texas. I want to buy an e motorcycle but it’s so confusing! Someone make it easy for me!!

  21. @SCORPIONKING1988ENGLISHNOV8TH on January 31, 2025 at 6:24 pm

    Eco friendly
    Clean Tech and User friendly
    Low maintenance costs
    Low cost for charging Electric Vehicles
    at Home or Charging Stations
    Batteries can be recycled ♻️ and transform into new materials

    Electric cars and Electric vehicles are
    New Emerging Developing Technology,

    Still there is
    No energy efficient
    No energy saving
    No energy gaining
    No superfast charging
    Technological Solutions
    BUT FUTURE IS ELECTRIC VEHICLES ⚡️⚡️⚡️⚡️ ONLY

    Still needed is
    1)Investment
    2)Time Period
    3)Research Developments, Innovations
    4)Brilliant working force class people

  22. @OntarioAndrews415 on January 31, 2025 at 6:26 pm

    CSC – they do make some nice looking bikes.

  23. @luisjeronimo1484 on January 31, 2025 at 6:28 pm

    Can you share tech spec of that EV bike ? Dimensions , tire width and so on , also what the range with a full loaded battery ?

  24. @andrewkingsley2326 on January 31, 2025 at 6:31 pm

    I was hoping for a review of the charging times and process.

  25. @lukeorlando4814 on January 31, 2025 at 6:32 pm

    I leave for work before 6am and the idea of not upsetting all the neighbours every day is really nice. But until I can get a bike that can do 70mph with a pillion for 140miles and cost less than £10,000 the neighbours get to suffer. Cmon electric, Get useful.

  26. @guimainny on January 31, 2025 at 6:33 pm

    This motorcycle is impossible to buy outside of USA or Europe, sad.

  27. @swecreations on January 31, 2025 at 6:34 pm

    I’d be even more interested in the E-RT3, more range, cheaper, and even more practical! 🙂

  28. @ozmote on January 31, 2025 at 6:34 pm

    Nice. Looking forward to seeing these on the sidewalks and bike lanes in my city.

  29. @dirty-moto on January 31, 2025 at 6:35 pm

    I would like to see the RX1E compared the Kollter ES1!

  30. @quesadilla79 on January 31, 2025 at 6:39 pm

    Lighter than a Honda CRF Africa twin, half the price and mileage works

  31. @sebrofc on January 31, 2025 at 6:40 pm

    Wow just 8k im on it 🤣

  32. @ZeroFuell on January 31, 2025 at 6:41 pm

    Just crossed my fingers and dropped a preorder payment for the Fuell Fllow, hope I made a good bet, seems higher quality and has fast charging but will it turn to vapor or de-spec by launch like the Metacycle… Would love a comparison or review when available

  33. @jb5music on January 31, 2025 at 6:42 pm

    They should have been pursuing hydrogen fuel cell all this time. I keep saying that but it would have had five times the endurance for the same weight.

  34. @jamesstpatrick8493 on January 31, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    Very easy to ride just need to watch the throttle and distance. Otherwise i would buy in a min

  35. @GaryV-p3h on January 31, 2025 at 6:45 pm

    With 70 mph being the maximum legal speed in the vast majority of countries there’s no need for any manufactures to make any vehicles that can go any faster, just concentrate on making them cheaper to buy, have more range & faster charging.

  36. @ROCEMPOWERMENT on January 31, 2025 at 6:46 pm

    25k is not low cost

  37. @КАТЯКРАСОТКАТВ-к4э on January 31, 2025 at 6:47 pm

    ПРАСТИТЕ А МОЖНО КУПИТЬ ЭТОТ БАЙК МНЕ ОН ОЧЕНЬ ПОНРАВИЛСЯ И ЖЕЛАТЕЛЬНО С ЦЕПНЫМ ПРИВАДОМ … И СКОЛЬКО ОН БУДИТ СТОИТЬ

  38. @astrowuff on January 31, 2025 at 6:48 pm

    Are there electric bikes that use superchargers? Because I wouldn’t mind taking a break every 50 mi to charge the bike

  39. @The1stMagnum on January 31, 2025 at 6:48 pm

    🤩🤩🤩

  40. @WeildtheTrident on January 31, 2025 at 6:48 pm

    The Fuell Fllow has competition

  41. @lambertj.2892 on January 31, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    So expensive. Gas is still relatively cheap and plentiful. Just get a gas powered bike. Sounds better too!!

  42. @LaZieGoblin on January 31, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    Would love something like this in the EU. We never need to get more than 30-60 minutes to commute from home to work.

  43. @superc1361 on January 31, 2025 at 6:49 pm

    You didn’t show how you charge it.

  44. @DerekKerton on January 31, 2025 at 6:52 pm

    Like it. This is the right feature and range package.

    If anyone wants a touring bike for road trips, it’s gonna be hard to beat gasoline over the next decade.

    But for in-town and commuting motorcycles, it’s gonna be hard to beat a bike like this.

  45. @keithjones197 on January 31, 2025 at 6:56 pm

    Until a major breakthru occurs with battery weight and longevity ,these things will only have a small market.

  46. @DanielZajic on January 31, 2025 at 6:56 pm

    Sorry, I wanted to watch but had to stop because of the constant music. Too distracting.

  47. @RussellHank-t3t on January 31, 2025 at 6:56 pm

    I might have to reconsider my original opinion. Not that it matters since CSC seems to have discontinued it. It would have been nice to know that it operates on 96 volts. This would have been the model for me but the only mention of the voltage was flashed on-screen numbers. I could probably have caught this bike in time if I had been aware. I would have rewired the battery with a pair of 48-volt packs for charging purposes and a heavy duty bistable magnetically latching contactor that operates when the ignition is turned. I guess it wasn’t meant to be.

  48. @jaylittleton1 on January 31, 2025 at 6:57 pm

    Value. You nailed it right there, Micah. CSC Motorcycles seems to be good at that.

  49. @John-ws5oh on January 31, 2025 at 6:59 pm

    Need a driver license??

  50. @dukeloo on January 31, 2025 at 6:59 pm

    Please review the CTC E-RT3. Is this a good maxi-scooter replacement?
