Chris Crossed, along with Alex from Maximum Charge and Tyler from Tyler’s Trail Rides, put nine fast ebikes to the test in a recent video [00:02]. The video is packed with action, reviews, and comparisons, offering valuable insights for ebike enthusiasts.
E-Cells and Top Speed Runs
The video starts with Chris showcasing the E-Cells FiveStar 2 and Ghost Cat [01:16]. He expresses his disappointment about E-Cells going out of business, praising their quality, power, and range [04:04]. The team also conducts several top speed runs, with Chris hitting an impressive 42 mph on one bike [09:21].
Bike Swaps and Trail Riding
Throughout the video, the trio frequently swaps bikes, sharing their impressions on handling, comfort, and overall performance [11:15]. Chris humorously describes the Ghost Cat’s suspension as feeling like “sitting on a couch” [11:42]. They also tackle various trails, encountering diverse terrains and obstacles [18:12]. Chris notes that one bike was too heavy for navigating tight turns [23:01]. In a funny moment, one bike even runs out of power, leading to a towing demonstration [29:11].
High-Powered Systems and Comparisons
The second half of the video focuses on higher-powered systems, including the Motor Goat [32:28]. Chris tests the Alta Sigma, while Tyler rides the Talaria [44:02]. Chris ultimately prefers the Sigma, citing issues with the Talaria’s throttle response [53:54]. The video concludes with a comparison of how high-powered dual motor ebikes perform on trails versus roads [53:26].
