Man I was dead set on the solar eclipse then I saw this and 1500 cheaper. I ordered it should he here early June. Going to order the 72v 57ah battery I guess I'll need a different controller any recommendations for controller? Was looking at this to buy first the batter downn the road.

The aftermarket on the Talaria is pretty strong. Anything you want to do to a Sur Ron can be done to the Talaria. The Sur Ron definitely has a wider selection of the same parts, but TBH I haven't found anything lacking in the Talaria aftermarket. The reason I went with the MX3 (purchased back in '21) was because of the gearbox and the ability to fit a 100/90-19 in the rear without trimming. For me, the gearbox is necessary since I ride woods, enduro, and single track where mud would be a major issue for a belt drive. Regardless, ride what you have, have fun, and don't worry about what others are riding. My friend's MX4 arrives today so I'm pretty pumped to compare it to my MX3 especially when we hit the woods.

awesome, and great point on the gearbox for offroad riding. Specifically the thing that might not me compatible is a controller upgrade and tune since it is IPM motor that is different then the surron motor, but largely yes there is a healthy aftermarket selection for both ebikes. happy riding!

I have the MX4. I've been upgrading the crap out of it. At this point, I'm just going to purchase another frame for about $850, and a gearbox for $350, then use all of the OEM parts I have taken off to build a complete second bike, so my friends can ride with me. The bike is awesome! I love it! Even completely stock, it's really impressive. All the surron fanboys say there is no aftermarket support, but that's completely not true. And, there are more parts available every day. Just waiting for a rear control arm to come out. The bike will probably cost me 13-14k when it's done, but upgrading it is half the fun. And did I mention, it's AWESOME!

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

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.

The long story is that u are an ebike diva... Nice review

Nice video, i couldn’t find any comments about the green wire. I’m sure you rode it without the green wire cut right? I’m wondering if you rode it unleashed.

I don’t want to take my eyes off the road to try to read a wristwatch-size gauge next to the left handgrip. I’d pay extra to have a nice, readable little dashboard.

question i just got a 72v 60ah, and when i was riding around 40-48 mph my bike was cutting out a lil i could fix it by pulling back the throttle im i using to high of a KW or is it more then that?

Looks like the seat is aftermarket, also the mud flap protecting the rear shock looks added. Like you kept saying it's heavier and its definitely noticeable I think the surron probably is worlds easier to wheelie. It's gotta be easier to pull up and control and balance a bike half your weight. Whereas the talaria is closer to my body weight. I think it makes for a better off roading platform tho. And they already have controllers and batteries all kinds of stuff for the talaria.

What’s your tuning on your 72v Surron. Field weakening , kw.. etc

I wonder if they kept the limiter on it, so thats why it would feel slow

Of course your Sur Ron is going to be faster with more power, due to you spending $1000's on after market upgrades. What you should do is get a out of the box Sur Ron and compare that to the out of the box Talaria. Going on what we've seen its pretty obvious that if you upgraded the MX4 the same I'd bet money that it would piss all over the Sur Ron.

Is it true that they still haven’t solved the problem with the battery loose in the compartment?

I've been there in person twice and was told both times that they don't offer test rides, even for their more basic offerings such as the Luna Banana. I guess they are more accommodating if you show up in a modded Sur Ron and have a KZread channel... or maybe they were just feeling friendly that day? I ended up buying from ONYX instead (also in El Segundo) in part because I was actually able to do test rides there. Been interested in buying from Luna for over a year since I live in the area, but I get a kinda unfriendly vibe from them which pushed me away. I am afraid of what the customer support would be like.

it weighs more than a stock surron but the talaria come stock with peg brace and a bigger battery, you would have to pay an extra few hundred dollars more to get a surron to this level.

Today, 11/21/2023, the Sting R MX4 is $3000! Not sure why the big price drop, but it would be hard to justify a Surron for sure with a $3k price on the Talaria. They have a model with a 'better' inverted fork, 4 colors to choose from, and possibly some other things for just $100 more. Likely going to order mine soon.

Жыл бұрын

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

Something that you have not upgraded your front fork. The Talaria MX4 comes with a decent fork. I have an older sur ron and instead of dumping huge amounts of money like you have thinking of selling it and buying an MX4. Also one can get the BAC 4000 that is already available as is the battery bypass.
