Thank you!

We could have but he has one of the first generations with the regen that doesn't work.

@@failing_successfully that was just one of my crazy technical thoughts lol

Ok! How far is a success? And how far is a failure?

The Talaria is pretty much better in every way compared to a Surron LBX.

It's up for debate but everything I've read suggests it's good to fully discharge and recharge for the first 3 cycles. I've done it on all my bikes and haven't had any issues with my batteries.

@@failing_successfullywow I’ve never heard anyone say this before! Good info

@@HappyCloud-ju2pm you live on Catalina??

@@failing_successfullyyes sir

How long have you lived there? What a paradise! You're living my dream. Haha

@@failing_successfully yup about my whole life. 36 years!

Jealous!

@larrybrandon8291 thanks for the kind words and the sub!! You're my 112th! The skinny tires we found on ebay. Mitas 2.0x19 www.ebay.com/itm/335353255969?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=f8IGlM0eTuC&sssrc=4429486&ssuid=AzdxdEVyTmy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY The dirt tires we found on amazon. Duro 3.25x19 Duro 25-30719-325BTT HF307 Classic Front/Rear Tire - 3.25-19 , Position: Front/Rear, Rim Size: 19, Tire Application: All-Terrain, Tire Size: 3.25-19, Tire Type: Offroad, Tire Ply: 4 a.co/d/00yDMDlX

Also those Duro's are the best thing you can do to your MX4. They are amazing on the street, great in the dirt, and they last forever. And they fit front and back on the stock rims without any issue.

Bro! I wanna do a west coast to east coast ride if this thing takes off. But AK to the south tip would be wayyyy better.

@@spawnrcandbikes yeah my brother lives in Manhatten beach and we keep seeing bikes get impounded. I really expected more issues but our pedal kit did the job. We were pretty careful for the most part and tried to ride respectfully but there were cops all over and didn't bother us. As long as you respect their island and pay the $35 conservancy fee they're happy to have us. I can't wait for the next trip out there. It's a total dream riding out there.

They're both. We made it so they pedal the bike when we get inspected but the motor is disconnected, then when we get to the island we move the chain up to the motor so the pedals become fake but the bike rides off the electric motor like normal. We made a video about how we built the pedal hit. Check it out! czcams.com/video/DX007OXzIYA/video.html

Thank you! ♥️ Many more to come!

@@failing_successfullyhow tall and how much do you fellas weigh ?

Hello sir!

😂 not good! It was a constant struggle to swap cheeks and try standing as much as possible. Haha

@@failing_successfully lol I do that when traveling 12 miles so I know what you mean

No joke! What do you ride?

@@failing_successfully I’m on a surron light bee x

No way! Where are you located??

@@failing_successfully I'm a SoCal resident too. Orange County. You rode your electric bike thru the riverbed by my house in Seal Beach. Lol

@@failing_successfully I also ride ACH and GMR with my big bike. GSXR-750. I ride the dirt bikes and Grom on the local riverbeds.

Rad! We'll have to put a ride together! Email me. joshlubeck@yahoo.com

Very!

That was awesome! Congrats! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

@joeylopina Thanks for the sub! You're gonna love the Catalina video! I should have it posted in a few days.

@@failing_successfully I'll keep a look out for it man. 🤙🏽

Thanks! Did 80 miles with skinny tires last week. Just did 191 miles from Palmdale to San Diego towing a spare battery and a generator. Haha Editing the video in the next few days.

@@failing_successfullyhow much do you weigh ?

I haven't had any issues with the relays overheating, but I don't run them continuously because even when I'm driving hard it will cool the motor way too well. I also made another video showing how I have my fans on a reverse relay switch so my fans are running through the stock relays plus 80 amp relays. So in the summer I can pull the heat out of the cab, and in the winter I can blow hear into the cab.

Pretty soon she'll be swimming with no floaties!

Your twin! 😂

@DuckRiverHomestead I'm flattered you're watching! I agree. A true zero elevation change ride would be interesting. I think 100 miles is possible.

Us too! I would never normally ride that slow but it's nice knowing what's possible in a pinch.

@@failing_successfully yeah idk if I could endure my seat for 5-hrs! You had to be dyin at that point

Surprisingly I wasn't feeling too bad. I could have gone longer if the battery wasn't dead.

You sure do!

@harrybauer7904 me too! He did better with those than I did with my stock tires.

Very interesting and not what I would have expected given the weight, but I guess that rolling resistance difference is pretty dramatic. Gives me confidence I could do 60 miles+ if I needed to on the 2.75 tires.

@TheDogsBox I forgot to mention it thank you! Yes both bikes have their brown wires cut, but no other performance modifications other than tire changes and my headlight switch to turn it off. We averaged 14.8 mph and were in eco mode the entire ride.

if you would not cut the wire and keep it legal and also the range would go up because it uses less power. I'm getting a street legal one but waiting with the wire cut because i could do it later and also have more range if i can life with the max speed of 45km per hour in speed mode... i am scared that if i cut the wire i cannot place a switch box in between maybe it doesn't work it is very hard to do. than i keep stressing about the law while riding.

His bike. 😂

So I can see oncoming traffic! Haha One of the guys got a flat tire and I got bored while they were trying to figure it out.

I raced my buddy on his first gen MX4 and it sure seems like my new one has 9kw. I haven't been able to find anything officially confirming it. Thinking about taking the controller off to see the specs maybe. But overall everything just feels better. And the regen is a game changer. Rode a downhill mountain bike trail yesterday and I would have been really worried about overheating my brakes on my older bike, but the regen takes all the stress out of it.

@herbf2700 Thanks for the kind words! I'm super curious about the Segway. Did you get the gas or hybrid?

@@failing_successfully Well I just have the 72 inch normal 1L gas version of the Villain. The hybrid is the Super Villain but its not out quite yet 225hp turbo or 325hp turbo hybrid. I'm going to wait and see that machine in person before I make any moves (Its a real transmission but no clutch, I think). One thing about my car is that other than fancy tires and a skit plate, it doesn't need much. No gussets or shock relocations. The springs and shocks are great. The power is fine. The seats and retracting 4-point is excellent. Its already a long travel with great clearance. Very happy with it so far.

@@herbf2700if you’re dropping 15k into a YXZ, you’ve built a machine with forced induction, a competition spec cage, and long travel suspension. The next comparable factory prepped machine to that is starting 34-37k depending on whether you choose Can Am or Polaris. What kind of car were you expecting with the entry level price? My ‘24 XT-R keeps up with 180 hp turbo rzr’s just fine. The only kryptonite I’ve encountered so far is deep water crossings as the six speed transmission’s fill/dipstick is definitely not water tight.

Yeah I gotta be better about that.

For editing or thumbnails or what?

Thank you sir!

A few failures. A few successes. But overall it was a huge success. 😂
