anyone else think "free ratchet straps"
Buy 4 ratchet straps for about $2800, get an electric motorcycle absolutely free.
@Frank Blackcrow no, if you gotta send it back just use some cheap rope. Keep the straps
No. Thought ‘fucking moron’ most of the time. Seriously, are all millennials this absent of any common sense? A Sabre saw to unbox a bike? What a maroon.
@@Zootalaws see those recycling containers being him? You need to break down to card board people prior to putting it in there. And you can't put those giant Staples into it either. So, you cut it into pieces real quick with that saw. Seeing how full that is, I'm thinking he breaks down lots of boxes for his business. You could use a knife on every box and get carpal tunnel and fatigue yourself for no real reason, or you can use a better tool.
@@cosmicgamingunlimited the boxes are designed to be opened. You work out the correct procedure and the box just lifts away. But good on you for defending stupidity.
Did you really have to open the box in hardest way
Ikr why didnt he just pop of the nails
It looks like there were orange straps at the bottom that were holding the top box to the pallet. I bet all you had to do was untie them.
He was complaining about having to struggle w a zip tie holding a knife in his hand so yah that's the guy.
He just cant find a chainsaw thats why
Maybe he watched an AvE unboxing just before he started shooting
The smile on your face tells the entire story 😀
My first thought when i looked at his face :-)
Yes ! ☺
Good thing the box wasn't wrapped in gift paper. This video would be a two part cliff hanger.
Sitting at my desk and literally laughed out loud at this one!
True! I almost forgot the bike
Dude ya didn't even ride the thing..
Title should of read, unwrapping my electric bike and no you won't see it move...
Should of...
Looking forward to your review of that beautiful machine!
Looking forward to the next video! I've been tempted by these and they look like fun!
Fantastic! Thanks for extending the eTransport options you are profiling. Cannot wait for your testing and review.
Dude. It’s basically an electric grom
Exactly what I thought..
So a grom that is not as fast sound as good or can refuel without spending hours sitting around.
Young Gun much more affordable and not outrageously priced like the groms
@@tbd3602 that's where you buy a Razkull
B Duvk not the most reliable bike
What’s with hating on the ebike
That was ultra sick how you sat on that bike like nobody's business
Congrats! Looking forward to seeing some riding and your impressions!
Like a kid at Christmas time. Enjoy seeing you so excited. Look forward to seeing future videos.
I see this for $2800, and all I can think of is the Pedego dealer locally. The CHEAPEST electric bicycles he has, are $3600. I'm pretty sure that's crazy.
You just destroyed a potential dwelling for some unfortunate homeless person
great minds think alike !
You will find another one just made for you! Home sweet home!
It’s hard enough trying not to hit a motorcycle with my car when it’s in my blind spot or when it’s speeding but I usually can hear one coming. Well, with an electric one, I’m pretty sure you can’t fault the driver then for your death if we can’t hear you coming because you have no sound or engine sound.
Thanks for showing us this cool unboxing!! Going to check them out for myself now!!
Awesome! Be careful out there. There are a bunch of crazy distracted drivers on the road. Always wear a lot of protective gear, even when it is hot out. Enjoy! I've been riding motorcycles for about 50 years and I've never seen worse drivers. Think like 90% of the drivers don't see you and the other 10% are out to run you over.
When i used to ride, i assumed every other road user was trying to kill me!I gave up riding when i was waiting to turn right into a road, stood with my hi-viz coat on, headlight on, idicator on and the stupid old duffer in the car waiting to turn right out of the road i was waiting to turn into, just droved straight into and knocked me over. I WAS ONE HALF OF THE ROAD RIGHT IN FRONT OF HIS FRONT BUMPER!Another motorist picked my bike up, i couldn't as it was too heavy to lift on one leg. His car drove straight into my lower leg! I hobbled over to his window and asked if he was blind? His reply was "BUT I'M DISABLED" My opening line was "so you think that gives you the right to go around trying to kill people?At this point i kinda lost it and started shouting at him and asked him for his name and insurance etc at which point he said he had to go shopping now and drove off.I'll give you people out there a tip.When a car has just driven into you with sufficient force to knock you and your Suzuki GS425 straight over, don't, i repeat DO NOT! kick the car's rear wing with your hurt leg's foot!IT HURT LIKE FUCK!!!
I would never ride in America. For a nation that takes pride in driving everywhere, your country has some of the shittiest drivers I've ever been in traffic with.
I've been riding for 35 years...drivers are fine, people who ride motorcycles like assholes cause most of their own problems with cars.
@NoNoNoNii Well.....you're not wrong.
One that killed 6 motorcyclists is russian.
From electric bicycle to electric motorcycle ohhh yeaaahhh!!! Really cool little one, small enough you can fit inside the lift/elevator and park inside your apartment (or office), it doesn’t smell like petrol hahaaa
Excited to see your feedback about the QS mid-drive motor+swing arm combo.
*210k views in just a few weeks and counting =]
Always good to see your reviews Micah - stay warm
If you are in a cold climate you have to take the batteries out to store for winter unless you have a heated garage. The process isn't simple!
It wasnt required to plate it to drive on city streets until recently, now the prov does not allow them. Offroad only, after spending almost $4,000 C.
"This is the way to open boxes!" *has literally picked the worst possible way to open the box
Why didn't you just cut the top of the box off, so you could sit on it, to keep it stable? LOL. NIce bike tho, I'm envious. : )
No shit
Cuz these guys get more money for loger vids
Have been looking at these and have been waiting for a decent review.... Love it. :D
I am really excited for you, cannot wait to see your updates.... I remember using Ni-Cad batteries for my remote control airplanes, now we use Li-poly. Use of these batteries are going to really change the picture for electric cars, bikes and scooters....
No need to register , just take it for a spin.
MilkCap wait I’m a quarter through. If he doesn’t ride it a little that would be lame lol
@@tbd3602 He's the kind of guy that buys an electric motorcycle. No way he's going to break a law.
Fax💯
Guess no one ever read the ebike bylaws... If the bike can reach speeds over 32 kmh. It has to be registered as an electeic motorbike. Not a power assisted ebike.. Big difference. What he just got.. Is not legal to drice without insurance.
this pussy would never break the law, just look at him
Cut the top of man so u can get in there, made me nervous just watching him unbox it thought he was going to drop it
I can't wait to find out more as this my be a great fit for me and my commute!
I also got an E-cycle. I love it. Had a blast all summer. Similar bike but was 1500 bucks. Mine takes regular motorcycle brakes rims and other parts. Which I found negative with other models that use go cart parts and plastic rims. 79V gets 80Km and will do 70Km/h with the governor unplugged. It has a 3 phase motor. I want to convert it to Lion packs. 1 pack for each phase. Charge balancing for each pack.
I have similar bike, but I spent less than 1000 USD. Yours is a Belt driven model, mine uses hub motor. looking forward to see what mileage you are getting. and whats the max speed you can get.
which biked did you get? sunny?
@@omnigeddon well they have different names for them here in China. I believe its just one factory making this bike but many sellers selling these in China. What he Got, In fact First I wanted to buy that. because I was thinking to swap the motor and its easy to do when motor and belt drive are used. I was thinking to use my 18kW motor that i used in my Electric Paramotor. and use Lipo batteries. That would have made that bike go crazy fast. but then I thought modifications will take a lot of time and money and money is tight so I bought one for less than 1k USD with hub motor. 3000W motor and can do 90kmph speed, 60km on fully charge batteries if driven slow.
What he has in his video is probably an OEM version but possibly coming from same factory in China. :)
@@alishanmao u can always build a aluminum bronze motor making the mold from clay(grinded dirt/water) and make ur own hub motor.. from melted pennies older then 1982.. takes about 5-15 bucks for the molding metals
electric motor
omnigeddon cause everyone has the machinery to just whip that up 😂
I am not sure that someone so seriously challenged with opening a cardboard box should be participating in motorized traffic, eletric or otherwise.
TY for your educational and informative vid... jus appreciating
That looks so cool, can't wait to see you test ride it.
Welcome to our world of e-MC! Be careful though. These are powerful beasts and they are not bicycles. They have mass and momentum that e-bicycles will never have. Wear an MC helmet, not a bicycle helmet, preferably full faced or modular.
I hope the batteries on that thing can be removed so you can charge them separately if need be. Hoping, the range will be good too.
BTW, I've just gotten or assembled an electric folding bike a couple of months back. I'd be using that after 3.5 years with the e-MC. But due the gov't still not giving us a chance to register it like an MC, I decided to go e-bicycle to avoid any hassles. In time, I am sure, the gov't will catch up and let us register it.
Anyway, congratulations! Enjoy your new toy!
You should rename your video to "How to unbox the hard way"...
Been looking forward to getting a real world review on this - thanks for braving the cold for us!
Great video . Can't wait until the 1st ride video
Such a cool unboxing video. I have an idea for the video. Compare electric motocycle vs ebike in different aspects. Like what advantages and disadvantages they have in comparison to each other.
Really cool bike Micah! What's the power on the motor? 2000 watts?
He said 5 hp on 5:35, which means around 3600 W.
@@atoossa88 You can't directly convert horse power to watts. But it's probably a good guess.
@@FrostGhost Why not? Horsepower is just an old unit for power as far as I know
@@gijsqwerasdf Yes sorry you're right. 1HP is the same as 746 watts according to this article:
sciencing.com/convert-hp-amps-volts-5059365.html
@@FrostGhost I guess that's good. But I'm sure it depends... on nutrition and exercise level of these horses! If they're skinny and frail, or lazy and fat, not so good. :)
Sure enough looking forward to your next video..
Have you ever heard of the Zero motorcycle. It also is an electric motorcycle. A friend of mine actually races it against up to 750cc bikes on the track. He blows the cowlings off of the other riders. They, being Zero, also produces them for many police departments. My town uses a few. The cops love them because they can not only be unseen by speeders or suspects but they can actually use and ride them in the stadium, and do. Check them out. They will surprise you. The cost however is much more than your $2,800 you spent. Have a wonderful time on your new toy. If it is anything like the Zero that I've ridden, you will have a blast.
Oh yeah, you can look up the Zero motorcycle on CZcams. Just do a search for Zero motorcycle and there are a lot of videos. Again have fun. But please be careful out there. As the say ... Keep it between the ditches.
No test drive because of registration??? Wtf are you in Germany???
You can ride for 30 days without registration. Just have your paperwork that it's new.
Could you have lifted the cardboard box off the top? Then you could have sat on the
bike stabilizing it.
Hi Mikey Congratulations on a beautiful bike! I want one too! I am looking forward to seeing you next videos. Cheers!
Can't wait to see an update that looks awesome I want one!
39° is not cold.Dude.
Maybe it's farenheit
46mph i think id classify it as an elecgric scooter.
2800.00 you got ripped off bad for that
Christopher Cullison ➡️ hells yea he got rip off ., dualtron scooter does 53mph
@@Voltrondefenderoftheuniverse Dualtron scooter cost more
Looking forward to the review!
Looks cool, looking forward to seeing it in motion!
That's a real weenie move not to ride at least around the corner to show us how to bike runs...damn the registration.
Only need registration to ride on public roads
6 min clip, 4 min. unboxing...???wtf
No test drive? Click bait!
I thought the exact same I forwarded it
Lol....first time on the youtube ?
Shhhhhh, little Timmy was Workin hard for his participation 🏆🥳
Congrats, I ordered a red one last week. To those asking about motorcycle license endorsement, you'll need one to operate it on public roads. It's federally certified vehicle in all states. The MSF classes provide a motorcycle for the class so you can get that without owning a motorcycle.
Nice looking bike! Looking forward to your next videos.
You have a sawzall.. just cut the damn 3x2 and tip the whole box off
He drew it out for the views I assume
You wasted my time!
Unboxing and nit even a parking lot ride?
You're a "small kitten" 🐱
Maybe you could use the battery from your battery operated power tool. To extend the range to 40 or 45 miles. Make sure to bring a backup skateboard so you can get home
THANKS FOR SHARING YOUR UNBOXING OF YOUR GREAT MOTORCYCLE
You look so happy....good for you. Please do another video soon on its performance. I am interested in the range of the motorcycle doing 45 mph all day. Do you register it as a motorcycle or motorscooter? Also please comment on the insurance. Thanks
I was also interested if u can do as a moped I am sure insurance is cheaper
45 mph is probably close to its top speed. 6 hp is very low.
I doubt it goes very far at 45mph.
That's not a motorbike it's a scooter!
Looking forward to it man!
I seen this on one of my web emails and you got one, nice job and it looks really cool. Will be looking for updates on it.
He doesn’t talk about what bike it is?
CSC grom copy
If new batteries (more powerfull) will be invented - fuel will be just a history. 😋
you know, i expecting to fly around this days on a affordable big ass drone or something these days
Just wait a year or so, Tesla is working on that.
Fuel is probably how your electricty is generated.
Looking forward to seeing some riding videos. This looks promising for the last leg of my commute.
Looks soooo fun. Can't wait to see you riding it in the city traffic..
I'd rather win that bike !!
It looks a bit like a Honda Grom.
That's exactly what I was thinking!
A Honda Grom E.?
You can already buy an electric "Grom" for about 1500; goes 40 I think. Many of these places have the Vader too.
@@MojoMicah
Can you? Where?
@Suzy Cui
Interested . I am in the UK. How much & to send it here?
You destroyed a beautiful box
Keerthi kumar That box had more square footage than most New York apartments.
good, mic'ed up well congrats keep us informed ty
I have learnt so much from you. There is NO end to knowledge one can accumulate. I have also ordered Solderless battery pack building kit from your Indian site. Let's see how the build turns out. Will post my video soon. Keep spreading the knowledge. God bless you.
do you need a motorcycle license?
Yep. Insurance too. Register. All the usual stuff.
@i am dumb then get sued after a crash. Your name is spot on.
@@truantray I have never crashed and I'm always riding around without insurance on my gsxr can't believe this pussy wasted e grand on a 40cc lol so lame and was scared to ride it pitiful if u got skills u won't crash scrub
@Neito Kradavish go look at me ride my motor cycle video then slap urself thx
So I'm still a squid even tho I have a video of me riding me gsxr?? Exactly stay quiet bi ch
That electric motorcycle looks really cool. How was your test drive ? Did it lived at to your expectations?
Hi Micah,
As you go up into Electric Motorcycles (from your eBikes), I'm decending into Electric Scooters.
As you see from my Avitar, I've been a Serious ICE Motorcycle Gearhead all my life.
That CSC City Slicker looks like a fun and good start for an Electric (City) eMotorcycle.
I don't think you said how much it cost?
My Guess; $3-4K?
As an FYI, I now have built x2 52V, 13- 15ah, 78 cells Packs (using your Vruzend 1.5 kits, with my own Copper Bus Bars).
I've focused on the Currie eZip/Izip/Schwinn 750w & 1000w scooters.
My Schwinn S750 (regeared from 11/90 to 12/65, with a Freewheel/upgraded digital voltmeter throttle & 48v speed controller) is now running 26-28mph, and 7-9 mi range (with my 240lb fat butt on it).
I'm very pleased with the performance (stock was 14mph) and how easy it is to service any cells that are wonky, using the Vruzend Battery Holders.
I built one pack (as my "Standard") from 78 2500mah New Samsung 25R cells.
Then, having graded and rated them for mR and mah, another 78 cells pack from recycled used 2200-2400 laptop battery cells.
They are a bit lower in performance; 26mph vs 28 mph (with about the same range), then the New cells pack, which cost me almost $400, but the (graded and rated using the LiitoKala Engineer Lii-500 chargers)) used cells pack cost me $75!!
I can buy recycled laptop battery packs around here for $1-1.80/lb.)
Thanks again for your great product and very useful youtube input.
I've already bought both of your books, so on the change I win a copy of either, I'll "regift" it to the next guy's name you draw.
Have a great Christmas and a Happy New Year.
I am looking forward to your next adventures as an Electric Motorcyclist.
Ride Safe & Have Fun.
Cheers & Respect.

I'm In Hamilton Ontario Canada. We are allowed to drive those with know registration no insurance no licence. On any city street. So needless to say they are everywhere around here. We have some that look like real motorcycles. It's pretty cool alot of people drive them great because Ontario has some of the highest insurance rates in Canada. You will definitely enjoy your new electric motorcycle. Have fun and ride safe
Usually it's kids up to 9 months old that have more fun with the packaging than the contents. How about in your next video you demonstrate how to unbox a fridge or washer?
great video, looking forward to your rid review.....
That looks nice. Hope to see it all put together.
Awesome bike, I can't wait for summer and get a CSC.
Sweet bike! I am sure you’re gonna have a lot of fun on it.
I have the cruiser 72V and I love it... $2,700 for a 110 kilometer range, and i top speed of 68 kph (42mph) and its saved me thousands on gas, insurance, ect its amazing
Awesome vid mate all the way from AUSTRALIA
Just got a similar sized emoto recently! Slapping in 72v55ah lithium soon into it. Enjoy! Its loads of fun.
Nice dude hope you enjoy it and have fun .
Can't wait to see you ride it!!! (early Christmas)
Congratulations! Is a beautiful motor bike. I'm expecting for the next video.
Oh!! nice e-moto!! I'm a dummy in this subject, but after watching a lot of videos of ebikes, yours are the best! I loved all the DIY videos!!
I'm thinking about buy an ebike from a company in the city where I live, but I want a more powerful battery, so I keep learning more about the subject in your videos!
Looks interesting. Looking forward to seeing your video on how it rides.
39 degrees - that's really warm! Celsius of course! Love the bike
Nice review!
If you use a Monkey Rattle Strap, do not put a knot in the tension belt-line.
The general rule has been, a knot reduces strength approximately 50%.
That's a real cool electric bike👌 👏👏congratulations 👍
Awesome looking bike brother! I think you'll be able to get a lot of great use out of it.
Wow.. That looks fun!
Your book on DIY lithium batteries is already on my holiday wishlist!
It's precious watching your excitement at unboxing your new motorcycle, but funny that 39 degrees is considered "freezing." It is nice though to see what this bike looks like in comparison with a (I'm assuming) taller rider.
Cool bike, can't wait to see it run.
39 is warm winter day to us Michiganders
Cool bike, thanks for sharing.
This is a nice looking bike. Like an electric grom motorcycle. Can’t wait to see the test ride video!
Nice video Micah. I two of your three books. They are excellent.
Price is now down to $2495. Speed is 40-42mph, range 37-62mi depending on weight of rider and speed.
Dude I absolutely loved how excited you were 😁😁
Can't wait to see the next video!
