I just got mine in Mongolia, second-hand though and ridden hard but still happy. Previous owner ordered directly from the factory and self-imported in April 2021. Not tricky since we neighbour China. It's a blast and I believe all the "first look videos" are right on the money. I've never given a previous bike a name but I call this one "Wǒ ài nǐ". A big kudos to anybody who knows what that means.
Hope it’s nice over there in Mongolia
@@bbbildhuu It's getting there. I wasn't able to do much riding during the winter. Too cold AND I broke my ankle slipping on snow (my Honda Transalp not my Storm Bee). So I'm just gettng back into riding on my eMTB (electric mountain bike). Almost ready to ride my Surron again.
Love you too bro
I just tested the Light Bee yesterday, super excited to pick one up. Now I'm informed that there is a full size motocross bike, this is intense.
Was thinking about selling my sports car to get a light bee, going to wait for this to come out. Hope the aftermarket support is good
I'll be saving up....
Nicot is currently delivering to US the Ebeast almost the same bike, except lighter with more power and 4 speed w/ clutch, proper rear brake pedal etc. For $7k
Nicots got 2 similar bikes woth 4 gears and a clutch. One is 72v nominal 150a controller... the other has the same frame as the time et bike which also has a 72v nominal pack granted its 48ah. But the time et bikes even cheaper and it's 90volts 4 gears and a clutch for like 4k. 👍 this storm bee is built different tho. It's solid
I know I’m late, but they make a more powerful bike for less money? Is that because it isn’t automatic? I am very interested lol I bought a surron and now I want the real deal
Ebeast is 12kw motor. Storm bee is 22kw.
I love this bike
I have one storm (enduro) and I like it. Weight is about 135kg
❤️❤️❤️❤️
Can you change the handlebars to renthal twin walls?
You guys should let me test one
Looks amazing! Although I didn't expect it to be so heavy. 110kg max would have been ideal
Yall taking orders in canada yet?
Heavy
Where can we get footbrake for it ?
Do you manufacture electric ATVs?
I wish 🤞
i see it for 9k? Stark Varg is 12k and puts out like 44kw
When does the bike arrive in Canada?
Sometime in the spring!
Still waiting
Februrary 2023 with a 500$ deposit right now
wow with reverse. Price range?
$9900 usd
Stock more Parts , i cant find any anywhere.
I can't enjoy the music, there is a guy talking in the bachkround somewhere.
Is there a way to hack it so turbo is always on?
would end up melting
im sure mods will be available for them just like the sur ron x
How come there aren’t any American review’s?
The bike hasn't been officially released in the US yet. You should see reviews coming in the next few months!
Any word on pricing?
$9900 usd
it would be nice to hear the motorbike and not that awful "music" on the background
Who the hell is editing this video?
So it’s got a 250cc weight with the power of a 125cc?
How many 125cc bikes do you no of with 520nm of torque 😉
@@danielgreen4213
A heavy duty crane or bulldozer has more torque than that ...
But impractical for motocross because it's weight
So is this electric bike ...
@@skepticalopen-mind4031 you make 0 sense of course a crane has more torque what has that got to do with motorcycles in any way?
Look at your original comment. You said it is the weight of a 250cc but the power of a 125cc then reference a crane has more torque lol. But it has way more power (torque)than any 125cc bike and 250cc bike combined so your talking rubbish my friend and you clearly have no idea what your going on about enjoy life!

*I`m really sorry that you took this whole comment totally personal but anyway here the answer*
you make 0 sense of course a crane has more torque what has that got to do with motorcycles in any way?
*I mentioned the crane as an euphemism to describe something extremely powerful and full of torque but weight as a drawback.*
Look at your original comment. You said it is the weight of a 250cc but the power of a 125cc then reference a crane has more torque lol.
*Yes my comment still stand up strong as once again*
*no matter if is a 125,250,500cc or a crane, heavyweight is still a major problem for motocross*
*I hope now you understand as I can brake it down for you even further*
But it has way more power (torque)than any 125cc bike and 250cc bike combined
*Once again:*
*Just having a lot of torque doesn`t really mean anything if that`s the ONLY positive factor about your vehicle*
so your talking rubbish my friend and you clearly have no idea what your going on about enjoy life!
*Keep personal comment to yourself whenever you can*
*When you need a lesson about mechanical engineering, just keep posting comments and I`ll educate you anytime*
*have a nice one!*
It’s not all about power.
I have a storm bee and my 250cc Ktm is WAY more powerful. Because the storm bee only has one gear it can’t keep up and has no power from 40mph to 70mph it’s gutless. Having said that it’s a brilliant bike.. but at the moment petrol wins for speed
music should be louder
110 km/h
literally can’t hear anything over that horrible music, fire your editor !
Ill admit it was a tad hard to hear, but not that bad in my opinion
@@dropclock. bad enough… wasn’t necessary and distracts from the dialogue
It’s VERY HEAVY , needs a half size race battery
I wouldn't say 90kg is heavy my ktm 150sx is 87kg most 250f are nearer 100kg
127 kg weights, 90 without the battery
@@mundanus84imperium my bad, yeah that's disappointingly heavy then 🤣🤣😍🤣
Good idea. The range is quite a bit more than I need for most of my rides. I only use about 25% of the battery on a 1 hour ride - I'm not fast. So I'd love a lighter battery for short rides if it saved my 20kg or so.
Very cool bike - but she is a pig! I have had a number of big dirt bikes and this one is heavier than them all.
That f@#Kin music! If I go to a gig I don't want to hear about motorbikes. If I watch a bike video I'm not here for the music.
Weighs more than a 450 and makes less power. I expected better than this, honestly. Max weight should have been at 450 level.
Difch the music and repost.
Fork is maxxing on bumps, and the rider is not even a big guy. Looks rubbish suspension
Not true. I'm 94kg (205lbs) and I've never bottomed out the suspension on jumps. Also the suspension is fully adjustable both front and rear. I haven't needed to do that yet but I could if I needed to.
@@martinfoster5163 Hi, please tell me a little about what it's like to ride the Storm Bee. In some reviews it's a MX bike, other reviews call it soft like a dual-sport. Is this bike (F version) stiff and powerful enough to clear a table-top or double on a VET MX track without bottoming?
It's very comfortable on harsh terrain due to the soft, long travel suspension. I don't do MX style riding with big jumps. I do little jumps and the suspension has never bottomed for me. However, I'm just guessing that the suspension would need to be tuned (or replaced) for MX style big jumps. In my opinion, it's more of a dual sport tuned bike from the factory but could be MX with tuning.@@dr.x4050
Bike is awesome but the decals looks like shit
