Some rallies are urban camping and may not have electricity so you would need to be creative on how to charge it. At a moped rally, it would depend on the length of the rides and if you will have accessibility to electricity for charging. When the battery is too low, the bike runs in the lower modes.įor moped meetup rides, the Onyx RCR motorbike would do well I believe. The full battery charge time is between 3 and 4 hours. I would be comfortable to say in sport mode all day at the normal city or moped riding speeds it should get about 45 miles before needing a charge. At 45 miles the display indicated the battery was low and needed to be charged. After the 33 miles together the RCR still had a 3rd of battery power left in it. Those miles were in various modes and speeds as we were testing the bike out. We road around 33 miles together but Lester continued after for about 45 miles total that day. During speed tests, I ran out of road so I got to 50mph in 13 sec. In sport mode, top speed was 57 full tuck.These are the top speeds I got out of each mode with plenty of roads. I’m 5’11” and weight at the time of the ride around 250 lbs. Sport mode 0-20 was about 3 sec 13 sec to 50mph.I used 20mph as a base because of the top speed in eco mode. ![]() So I tested how long it would take to get to 20mph in all 3 modes. Its a bit heavier than most mopeds but I would say it compares to that of a Vespa Grande in weight. It has a great low end like a kitted Honda Hobbit but quicker.
