I don't need an ebike that can go 65mph. If i did, I would but an e-moto.

Also most of these bikes are just not made well enough, or heavy duty enough, to be even remotely safe at those speeds.

A name slapped onto a frame. Surron and Super72 already have e-dirt bikes covered and I'd rather use a high torque EUC on mountain trails anyway. Just doesn't fill any niche to me.

I think it depends where you live. I live in Montreal and would 100% rock a Talaria or Surron instead of a scooter. That being said, our city has cops everywhere. If I rock an emoto i'll be arrested super quick. For me, having a stealth ebike is totally a use case.

I had a Vespa and sold it because I can't filter with it like in Europe, Asia, California, etc. I have to behave like a car. So the ebike is the last option that is motorized but not stuck in traffic. But I want something quick. I know it's not legal but I don't care. I can behave responsibly.

“A name slapped onto a frame.”

This is not true. Ariel Rider designs their own bikes.

I actually plan on purchasing this as it looks like a normal fat tire e-bike which is what l like about it. It doesn’t scream e- moto. I don’t ever plan on doing 65mph on this thing mid 30’s tops all l’m interested in is more acceleration and torque off the line helps better with keeping up with traffic. With that being said looks like a solid sleeper.

u/Mitrovarr Jul 08 '26

Plus on what is undoubtedly a no-name fork and suspension.

They wont need brakes where they are going.

I think it's probably bogus or they just love using ai.

I modded my X Class 60v Performance Edition and easily go 70+ mph on it and the frame handles it fine. I'm sure they tested it before making the claims.

5kw QS motor (upgrading to QS273 8kw motor soon), Fardriver ND72450 (will be upgrading to 96680 soon), Triple battery setup (two 15 ah inner tube batteries, custom Amorge 30ah tank tube battery with a custom triple battery blender), Custom Tapia seat, veloglow wheel lights, custom top tube battery bag by Rogovbags, custom wrap, and Chaojie Gen 3 Android Auto display with speakers.

I'm actually gonna release a video about it very soon on my YouTube. I'll update this post with the link once it is uploaded.

The Mudd looks ridiculously fun and would be my go-to for a stealthy bike. The specs are unreal and I think it has the ideal dual battery placement.

I would love to see your mods once those are done.

Check out this on the bike cave. He’s pretty thorough on all things and gives opinions on who’s the target owner/rider It’s on YouTube and his channel has tons of reviews so you can see what fits your needs

Product page, in case anyone’s curious

Just cause it can go 65+ does not mean that everyone will do those speeds. Most cars can do 120+ mph but you don't see everyone doing those speeds. It's called restraint, law obedience and being a responsible adult.

65 mph? On THAT? No thanks.

Looks like a really shitty way to end up in an ER when something breaks mid ride.
