I had the Talara Sting R, even went to the trouble to make it road legal to be able to go to my local trail. Unfortunately, the range is really a problem. Buying a second battery, besides being very expensive, won't do me any good if I'm in the middle of the trail. Also, at least the Talaria always felt more like a mountain bike than a motorcycle. Fun at the begining but it felt underwhelming after a while and again, half way my enjoyment I needed to turn around to make it back home to then wait for 4 hours until I can ride it again.
@RhysDavid-w4g4pI like mine. I can't ride my crf110 in the public park with the lesbians down there so my talaria mx4 allows me to ride spots nobody's hit yet, I ride to Wendy's, ace, all while going over the speed limit in the road and nobody cares. If I was to ride my 110 or 250 my neighbors would be pissed and if I rode to the store I'd get impounded immediately. It sounds like you're either a kid or just never ridden one. They are fun and have uses that people want. With all that said, I'm sure this KTM is 4 grand so I'm straight with that but there's other brands that are Ballance bikes with drill batteries which I'd get my daughter once she's on the bigger Ballance bike.
I get about 27 miles of enduro on a talaria mx4, i can tune the phase amps on the controller and get like 35 miles enduro if i stretch it
I have a hilarious Sting mx4 from 2024 and I've already had to replace parts because they broke in the geometry was way off.... Cost me 4600 out of box.. with $1,000 in parts thus far... Stupid
Excellent review.. had mine about the same. Have 8860 miles on it. Just did a Torp 500 and it’s so much more powerful. Still stock battery. I do have new brakes waiting as the stockers are just not enough at this point. Supermoto wheels will go on with breaks. I 100% recommend talaria. I have had zero problems. Other than pads and a couple chains and oil. And one rear tire. Run 241 ‘s also run a 19/17 rims works great.
Great video. I DO think one comment is bizarre / terribly incorrect; "The electric motor SHOULD last 100 hours with no maintenance". This is really confusing. What are you talking about? Possibly you're not that informed regarding motors. An electric motor has 1 moving part - the rotating armature, and there is ZERO oscillating mass (compared to ICE, which has hideous quantities of stop/start parts, hence the need for oil changes and motor rebuilds and valve adjustments). OK, back to motors. Electric motors last SO long it's nearly immeasurable. With NO maintenance, btw. Because there is nothing to service, literally. An electric car motor will never wear out, in practice. The other aspects of the car - doors, seats, screens, etc...those things will wear out before the motor. Think somewhere between 1 million and 10 million miles for the motor. Think I'm joking? I'm not. Electric motors are used in VERY high torque environments all over our planet. We have lots of data. A decent motor (such as the unit in the Varg) will spin forever, effectively. Btw, I've owned a Talaria MX4 for a year and LOOOOOOVVVVVEEEEE it. So surprising. I did worry I'd miss the sound and shifting of ICE bikes. But that went away after a couple of rides. I don't miss having to fan all the controls all the time. I love the precision accuracy of an electric motor, how well it climbs and navigates nasty obstacles, and how I can fly from corner to corner with just throttle and brakes - all on my handlebars! 🙂
Bud it's definitely worth the price. I have a damn near fully built Talaria mx4 that reaches a top speed of 80mph and is a trail beast with a range of 100 miles. Can't knock it till you try it
I just got one. 5’8” 150 lbs. It most definitely will power wheelie.
You can DEFINITELY daily drive. I’ve got a talaria mx4 and I’ve been daily driving for the last 2 weeks because my jeeps engine blew 😢 but I have to say they are beast in traffic especially those effed up construction zones you can zip right around anyone lol
i got a sting r and its such a blast. It has so much torque that if I go full throttle off of a complete stop, it basically does a wheelie. John the battery rattle is basically fixed on my bike and i wanted to ask you, what do you personally think of the talaria sting r
that cant be the r? my tilaria sting r gets to 48 way faster
lol i got my talaria sting r .. it rips im a ninja.... best urban exploring vehicle... no liscnce or insurance... thats funny i put a chest rig pouch on my my handle bars last year too
Got a Talaria MX4 last week. A little quieter still then the bikes that use belts like EridePro and the Surron. Youll want handlebar risers and probably 21/18 wheel set if you are a tall rider. Aside from all the fun, it’s part of my current tsunami evac plan to get up a nearby mountain…
im pushing stock. off road i needed better grips, stock vibrate my hands off. bar is needed as off road it hurts your arms after 2 hours day after day the stock angle is too straight. rear brake pad is a nice have to do trail braking and drag the rear easier. that's all that's needed. New rear spring lighter would be great it too stiff for my weight.
I swapped my pads at 1500 miles they were fully cooked
Yeah it’s not fair to compare a stock bike to a upgraded bike, but the mx4 is a nice performance bike my top speed is 56mph
talaria mx4 with upgrades is still better and more reliable in my opinion after nearly a year of owning the talaria mx4 it has never failed me or cut out mid ride unlike the surron
Still love my Talaria Sting R MX4 right out of the box! This bike almost had me until that “turbo button” that’s the one feature that would set me apart from purchasing this. Other than that, they’ve done everything spot on for what it is. 👍
I love mine so far! Can’t wait to send it some more!
The light bee has a drive belt that turns the chain drive. The Talaria has a direct drive transmission. A lot quieter and more reliable. A bought a Talaria Sting R.
Love my talaria mx4 it wheelies so nice!👌🏼-Ryan
I dig my Talaria. A little bigger than the sur ron and the gearbox is nice. No broken belts.
My Talaria MX4, I love it but the suspension needs an upgrade to get air and land comfortably--without fear of breaking something.
I love it so far! The power feels so good
For a person who owns a sting r this is correct the power is way more than that Ive taken it down to 02% and it’s still has more torque than a super 73 of the very start. Although I have never overheated my motor and I ride crazy so I don’t know how that happened
‼IMPORTANT CORRECTIONS ‼(2 Things) First correction: Regarding the Talaria R battery rattle. The Sting R comes with a foam block that stops the rattle, it was my mistake for not installing it! Second correction: The Sting R power sag demonstrated at 30% was the result of overheating, more so than low battery. Under normal motor temperatures, there is still lots of power on the Talaria R. Thank you for watching!
That's really strange because I have the talaria sting r and the lowest I got it was 6% and it had no where near that slow still had a bit of juice
Yeah sting R doesn’t sag like that I was still going 37 MPH at 17%
The battery rattle issue is ONLY with people who put their ebikes together. I had my Sting R delivered to Luna Cycle and they assembled it and I've never had any rattling or maintenance issues. Rode mines home from the shop
I own a Sting R too and I've never experienced power loss like what we saw in this video. I left my ebike stock cuz mods increase range and performance but they also have defects and make your ebike less reliable. Notice the people with the most mods are always breaking down
There was something wrong with his sting r my sting r goes all the way down to 5% before the power drops a lot.
the added weight is the upgraded battery 45ah vs 38 on sur ron etc. It has a gearbox vs belt pulley. I love my sting and will upgrade once i get it paid off lol. A lot of upgrades have already been applied and they fixed many of the complaints of sur ron and previous talaria so the appeal is strong!! Cut the wire and it will be a wheelie monster! My seat doesnt have the red etching though....did i get ripped? There are a lot of parts for this btw, many of the sur ron parts will work on here too.
Stock for Stock, Sur Ron is not even close to the performance, course it wont compare to a built 72v Surron that you put $10K into it =P
Different animals, the talaria seems more nimble and agile with its shorter wheel base and true mid drive motor vs the swing arm mounted and longer wheelbase of the eclipse. The eclipse has a much larger battery so you’ll get much more range. The talaria has much more ground clearance and is truly a dirtbike whereas the eclipse feels best suited for street riding and higher speed cruising. I’ll be posting another eclipse video in several days, I boosted the top speed and let a stranger borrow it… who crashed it 😆 will be entertaining
I'm on day 2 with mine, loving it so far.
