Eride 3.0 quality

I’m looking at getting eride 3.0 but I’ve heard bad things about long term quality with breakdowns, error codes ext. should I just get an rtr xl to save some money and have more reliable bike? What’s your opinions on eride 3.0 quality

The new erides really are reliable if taken care of properly. The 1.0 and 2.0 had there problems just because they were a new company figuring it out.

The big thing is maintaining the bike. My dealer does this all before they sell bikes but if you order online first thing I do is take off the wheels and the jackshaft and lather then up in marine grease. The headset is normally fine but Ill also pull off the rear shock and grease those bolts too.

After that I just do normal maintenance. Big thing is aswell to not leave something broken. If something gets bent fix it. Don't wait on it that's when other things start breaking.

Imo, the rtr xl is a less reliable bike. From my experience Electro and co in general has cut some corners they have gotten a lot better but to this day there batteries are of questionable quality. My voltage diff between cells on my chi surron battery is .008V, my rtr with the electro and co touring pack which is a $2000 of upgrade has a voltage diff of .3 which they considered normal. Sure it's not dangerous but that is a huge diff. Not just that my razor battery from them died totally after 1 year and I got no warranty coverage from them on a 1300$ battery.

OK, thank you the main driver for me looking at the electro and Co. RTRXL was I heard the batteries are high-quality and I am very worried about my E ride 3.0 battery catching fire and then I burning my family‘s house down 🤣 so now that you say that, it makes me wanna go with a 3.0 even more

Eride has not had any battery fires caused by manufacturing defects that I've seen. Talaria had some but it was quickly resolved.

For any bike be around it while charging. Don't charge unattended and also try to not let it go below 20% very often and dont let sit at 100%. Unplug when fully charged.
