Review of Solar Eclipse Race Edition Bike

carbon fiber frame carbon fiber swing arm carbon fiber Wheels this bike was made by a British company so I just want to go ahead and address the elephant in the room we won the war okay fair and square let's move on from that we can be friends now solar's actually been offering this bike for a while but I've never been interested in it the motor hung down too low and I was still a little salty about the whole British colonization thing even though we won don't forget that speaking of winning you could win this bike just by leaving a comment I'm running another free giveaway so if by the end of this video you decide you want this bike just leave a comment and in two weeks I'll pick the winner and send them one this is the new race edition of the solar eclipse they made a ton of changes so here's what to expect this new race Edition pushes 50% more power than the original and it comes with upgraded brakes an upgraded motor an upgraded swing arm an upgraded rear shock a higher output 72 volt battery and it's fully Street legal the motor's been moved up compared to the non-ra model but it's still in sort of an odd position although I can see the virtue and having it there it gives you a little more space for the battery but look you got me at the carbon wheels look at these the tail is also all real carbon fiber as well as most of the frame and swing arm there's so much carbon fiber on this bike that it actually makes the difference this bike is feather light because of it and it can all be yours for $ 6,700 $95.99 let's take it for the first ride did I stutter I'm giving away one of these bikes for free all you have to do is leave a comment in 2 weeks I'll pick the winning comment and literally send them a $6,700 brace bike yeah this bike's made too brace super light new design High Pace if it sucks I'll be fine no face got lots of bikes can't wait no space yeah I got some high expectations fancy parts maybe price inflation should be fast like a jet aviation let's take it for the first ride no patience no one's told me the top speed on this yet so that'll be our first test got our wireless fob here unlock it kind of stiff seating but it is a race bike I'm going to start an Eco I don't know what to expect here let's get to the open road and hit a top speed run you recording yeah what's up bro I seen your video I've never had an electric bike no worries dud I didn't have my first bike until I was 20 nice meeting you guys come on have fun out there keep riding put a helmet on both of you just it rolls like it coasts like nobody's business cuz this thing's so light here we go let's get out of eco mode sport mode Full Throttle it's not crazy fast oh no they really need to change this tune my biggest complaint already you let off the throttle and it still kicks you I felt that on the KO I felt that on a couple other setups can't stand it but it's pretty straightforward to retune it this is a essentially a prototype bike these aren't for sale yet so I'm going to make sure they know that I'm not happy with this tune hey man I watch your videos yeah you're awesome dude thank you so much that's so nice yeah I'm actually glad this isn't out yet cuz they need to change that too and there's no way they can sell a a bike over for this price with that kind of tune oh you know what another bike that does that is the Onyx feels like ass it's say we're doing 80 mph right now there's no way it'll say right up here I can't help but notice how incredibly light it is this is probably the lightest bike I've ever ridden that can can achieve these kinds of speeds ooh and it's got the regen throttle let's try that so that's just SL blown down with the regen that's nice so all right this is a race bike who are we racing I guess other ebikes sirons this would smoke a siron this would smoke a siron a smoke a Taria smoking Eide Pro I think out of the box with no upgrades which is which is really cool would I wheel it hell no not with this tune it's not a wheelie bike it's a race bike it's in the name would you race this on a track looking at these wheels well they're corbon fiber that's sick but the tires aren't aren't all that another they ebike brakes are awesome I mean it doesn't pop the wheel that like let me let me let me demonstrate here we go from from a full stop to Full Throttle this should pop the wheel come on bruh all right that's a little disappointing as well it should pop the wheel if it's a race bike it's got some work to do it needs some tuning but the ergonomics and the feel how light it is that's great let's see what this guy's up to yeah what's up boss up how you doing man out out for a cruise nice me too it's so beautiful out that's a cool bike what is that what what's your bike my what what's the bike that's bike looks pretty sick all right man you have a good one all right yeah yeah this is definitely a step up from a bike like that totally different class totally different class to a sural one but I'm trying to see like where this fits in I guess as a commuter it's got the blinkers and the brake lights so it's just mirrors and a license plate away from being totally street legal I could I could see commuting this for sure would I race it probably not I'm with this tune at least have you seen these big YouTube channels just dissolving recently hunigan donut and now Braille skateboarding have you seen that I don't know if you've ever watched Braille I watched them since 2014 when I started skating that was until I broke my elbow and I stopped and it looks like they're dissolving they're tearing down their warehouse and everyone's quitting and the same with donut media hoonigan all these big multi-million subscriber channels that really lead their category are are dissolving and and I'm looking at it and I'm like obviously I want to do the best I can for sster so I'm trying to see like well what's going wrong why are these Legacy channels uh dissolving and the sense that I'm getting is that they got super corporatized they they uh they scaled up they got employees investors and the content that people subscribed for originally took the back seat at least that's the the sense I'm getting from some of these these videos I'll put some of the thumbnails up so I'm definitely trying to make sure that I don't fall victim to that same issue that's not a stop sign stay a small one man show stay true to the content I feel like once you get a warehouse and employees and oh my investors it ruins it at least that's what I'm seeing from these big Legacy channels that you'd think could last forever and they're all dying out but some of the dudes from donut started their own channel and that's doing amazing and that's not a stop saying that also goes to show that it's nice that you don't YouTube's not like a business right you can't just scale it up and expect everything to be better sometimes you got to keep it small so I'm going to stay a oneman show I do all my own editing filming scripting most of it's unscripted but you know you got to plan a little bit this bike is so light that when I'm making these turns it's like you got to focus on controlling it it's not grounded like the Harley-Davidson or something with those so much potential they need to redo that tune 100% before this bike comes out I just stopped for for one second has turned off on me won't turn back on nah you're kidding me come on you got it I didn't even turn it off it just turned off while I was sitting here controller feels fine very hot motor I'm going to call up my connection there hey how's it going good I'm just out filming the video right now just kind of turned off and I'm not be able to turn it back on here oh it's not turning back on um so you if you press the unlock button or the lock button there's no sound yes the only thing that can I can think of is the drop down box has probably got an issue and it needs to be changed are you far from your truck or yeah oh my God I feel so bad right now no it's fine look it happens I've had many bikes shut off on me it's a beautiful day so I I could go for a walk I'm so sorry dude like oh god let's give a couple minutes I'm just going to hang out and see if it turns back on okay it's been almost 20 minutes I'm going to accept de feat and start stretching for this walk oh 2 miles okay we can do 2 miles Let's Do It come on we're going to have fun [Music] [Music] [Music] new M but it's not thank [Music] we made it I'm going to let them know exactly what's up and I'm going to update you right now yeah it's crazy once you take the Plastics off you can really see the entire frame is carbon fiber they said it's 95% carbon fiber I also have confirmation that they fixed the tune so by the time this bike comes out
