      I figure it's a good way to show how long the races actually are. And how well the bike does throughout the whole thing. 🤠

    Absolutely amazing! This is exactly the type of racing I do and have been waiting for a light weight electric bike that can get through a whole hare scramble. Is your bike still at 201 lbs?

    Love this video. Wish I was racing with you that looks like a great track. You convinced me to get a Talaria sting and I absolutely love it and I also purchased an rfn. Raced a Sprint Enduro last month and it was a blast.

      Ultra Bees do look fun, but the Emotion bikes have a clutch, which will help build skills that are directly transferrable to any other bike you get on... Is learning clutch-throttle balancing skills outdated now? With instant electric-motor torque, can all hard enduro/trials moves be done without a clutch? Or are those skills still valuable?

      Ok , I understand your Point .
      I got some bikes Harley's , Fireblade , Beat RR 300 .
      But what emotion you looking for is the way I Chose my Bike every day , Chill out .. I take the Street Bob , Wheely Action and Speeding with full throttle on our German Autobahn I take my customised Blade , action in the Woods .... Il take my Beat 300 , but Action in the Woods without Stress because it's forbidden in Germany ... A lot of benefit , it s easyier to learn Enduro because you can focus of a lot of driving basics and be a Pro in this , more exercise because you can make practice in your garden .
      The thing with the clutch , for sure ! I love my clutch .... And you need it in Hardenduro for Momentum to manage big Obstacles .
      But their are some company's like Yamaha and some other Factory s they have E Trail bikes with Gears and Clutch

    5.8.24 That’s so cool the jump you get over the gas bikes on the start. Some of the trails are kind of narrow. Were there only 2 electric bikes there? Not liken going over those logs. Kinda hard some times to know where to go. That one guy that crashed right in front of you while trying to pass was a great crash. That was good your battery lasted the length of this race. Were you going wide open on those flat straights?

    Great long form vid, thanks for taking the time to put that together. Did you end up changing to the 81v battery, or is this still the first upgraded one? Also, did you have any over heat motor issues? Keep up the vids and enjoy your ridig mate✊️

    Hello! Can the original factory controller of the Sting RMX 4 be programmed? I know replacing the controller would be the best solution, but that's too expensive. I live in Hungary. I would need the secret codes of the factory controller so that we can modify them. Thanks to everyone who can help with this.

      I looked up the race results. The description is very misleading; he rode with the C class, but he won the electric bike class. He only raced against one other person who only finished one lap.

  • @colinbowman8816
    @colinbowman8816 Před měsícem +2

    hmmmmm I dunno, they all started with the bikes off, you started with the bike 'idling' or armed. No one else on the line could twist the throttle and go.
    Seems like cheating. That said, the Ultra Bee looks like a fun bike. And that looked like a fun race.

    • @electricisbetter
      @electricisbetter  Před měsícem +3

      Great observation! Yes, I do indeed start the race with the bike "On" but i do not make it "Live" until the race starts... I've thought about what would make the most sense when starting the races when it comes to fairness.
      Since the Ultra Bee does a "system check" every time it turns on, plus hitting the "Ready" button after it's done with its system check, it takes a little over 5s for the bike to be ready to ride from when you turn the key.
      While with the gas bikes, they have it sitting in first gear, then they can just kick start the bike and zip off. Which usually takes less than 1s...
      This to me seems most fair between the 2 kinds of bikes. As I usually am beaten to the hole shot by the gas bikes. Even with the electric "On".

    • @colinbowman8816
      @colinbowman8816 Před měsícem +2

      @@electricisbetter Most fair way would be for all the bikes to be on and idling in gear like a MX standing start. Bikes off is a easy way to slightly stagger the bikes at the start so T1 incidents are less likely. Good for riders and organizers.
      Over a 2 hour race, if you're faster than the others at the starting gate, you're probably going to get by and win even if your bike took a couple seconds to start.
