    Every 5000-6000 miles!!?? Sounds like a lemon. Had mine checked at 42,000km/26600mi (as recommended in the manual) and they didn't need any adjusting. Currently sitting at 75,000km, so next check's coming up, which I'll probably use your videos to do the check myself, this time. Noticed in your previous video you said not to bother with adjusting the throttle bodies if one is having idle issues. I definitely disagree. Mine was idling just like yours in this video, but then I did the throttle bodies and it's been perfect ever since. (If you're gonna do the them, though, get a good measuring instrument. I borrowed my friend's Amazon Special, which was one of those 4-gauge clock style set ups. It ended being a very, very finnicky tool to work with. Was a shining example of one time use product dumping.)

    The 2006-7 GSXR'S have a lot of electrical issues. On the 2008-9-10 the front light was changed on those years and they look nice What really gets me is that the prices in all of them manufacturers are just about the price of a new one. If you good mechanical go for it...and be happy with what you get. Am doing research in different years on the 600's...that's plenty of power. Am new in the riding adventures and just try to buy the proper bike ...but then again nothing is proper. And the saga continues...

    So that's why my engine braking is so hard, the 07 CBR is my first step into the super sport world so I've just assumed everything is a superr sport thing. I have noticed she can SNAP pretty hard if I give it too much throttle and pop the clutch. Definitely see how people can clutch up so easy on these things!

    So you’ve made your complaints well-known. (Sorry the throttle made your wrist hurt). We all know this electric motorcycle was made with little to no quality control. Off the shelf SiAecosys parts available to the public were put together on this frame to make this motorcycle. I got 2700 miles out of mine so I figured $2/mile is what I spent before the controller burned out. Storm Sondors screwed us. Some more than others. So what’s your solution? Are you going to modify yours to address these problems? If so, it would be helpful if you shared the solutions. This electric motorcycle is a novelty. The company is completely out of business now so you’ll have to fix problems by yourself. Also why do you compare this motorcycle to internal combustion engine motorcycles?

    I have the Metacycle and haven't had any of the ergonomic issues or mechanical failures that you mentioned, however I can agree that the shocks don't absorb bumps very well but tend to bounce over them. (Not good for bumps + rain) The only issue I have had is the power button stop working while riding so I had a bike that couldn't turn off, but after disconnecting and re-pairing the battery using the dongle the power button allowed me to turn the bike off again. I assume the power button not responding must have been a software glitch. Over all it's been a comfortable and fun bike to ride all around my city, no points of discomfort, great brakes, good acceleration, enough range, high and low beams are really good also the turn signals are bright, charge time less than 4 hours and ready to go, I have no complaints about the comfort of the seat, throttle, foot stands, they are fine for me. The rear wheel is going to be involved to remove but I build many e-bikes so it will just be a day out of my weekend to replace the rear tire if needed.

      This bike matches most closely with the Ryvid Anthem from all that I have gathered about it except that the Metacycle has reached 90 mph while the Ryvid only claims to reach 70+ mph. I have ridden the Livewire Mulholland and S2 Del Mar and even though they only have 1/3 more torque, it makes a massive difference in acceleration. Additionally the cornering on the Metacycle is not great compared to the Livewire bikes.

    • @developer-of-things
      @developer-of-things Před 3 měsíci

      I can tell that the model you were reviewing here is an early model, lots of changes have been done before mine was delivered. The spokes are in the wheel instead of on external mount points, the kick stand was improved so it doesn't hit the frame, the brakes are surprisingly good much better than my e-bikes so maybe that was improved.

I just thought the cbr looked better, sounded better, and handled slightly better. Rode a zx6r, awesome power band, but didn't like the breaks and it doesn't come with a steering damper, and my back and wrist was killing me within 30 minutes.
