I love little bikes soooo much. My race bike was about the same size and weight. -Paul

That’s not a e-bike

Bro he literally is he has a promo code this video is a advertisement and he’s getting paid from e motos

I’m still wearing that smile every time I watch the riding footage! It was seriously hard to do my riding commentary because I was having so much fun riding! -Paul

Thanks Sam! -Paul

I wish #emoto like the Land District were around when I started riding. -Paul

Wow! Thank you so much! I hope to get more time with it at some point and do some real testing: top speed, range, braking etc. -Paul

You bet!

Thanks so much for the kind words! -Paul

Thank you so much! -Paul

Thanks very much!

Thank you so much! I really appreciate your support for our new channel! -Paul

I'd love to get some hard numbers on both of them. I put up some graphs later in the video that compare their spec sheets, but it's just not the same as tested numbers. I had a chance to ride the Anthem and the Land back to back at Micromobility in the Bay area. The Anthem feels bigger and heavier and more like a conventional motorcycle. The motorized seat is an interesting feature for the Anthem, but unless you have two riders for the same bike a seat that could be bolted on in two positions would accomplish the same thing and be lighter. Here's a short of me riding the Anthem. kzfaq.infoPEN78H-WTjU?si=8bM3JZ6JPBSLtXQU I tried to make a short about the Land, but the wind absolutely ruined the audio so we never published it. Fingers crossed we get enough interest in these to do some full reviews! -Paul

Thanks so much! Hopefully we’ll get a chance to do a full review with a top speed run and range test at some point! -Paul

🚓👮‍♂️

Hammy in the house! -Paul

Noted! We will do that if we have a chance to do a full review. I believe the big battery is about 60lbs. If we do a full review, we’ll also run a top speed test, range test, braking distances and acceleration tests. -Paul

All that info is on the website he provided . I found it in 30 seconds

Thanks so much for the kind words!

Unfortunately that section of road was only about 1/2 a mile long, so I shot it 3 times in each direction and edited it all together :-) But it was still amazing! -Paul

Thanks! Make sure to subscribe. Lots of good stuff coming soon! :)

It all started with BMX racing, then mountain bike racing, then commuting on a motorcycle, then racing motorcycles with the AFM (American Federation of Motorcyclists), then I was lead-mechanic at my own motorcycle shop for 13.5 years, then I ran repair warehouses for two different scooter rental companies Skip and Lime, then Electric Scooter Guide. -Paul

Me too!

I really hope so! We really crammed everything into one day. I rode down from SF on the Triumph, we filmed and rode for 5.5 hours and then I rode back. My first meal was dinner that day! I really want to get out and range test it and do a top speed run. I would have done one for this video, but as soon as I found out this one had the lower gearing, I decided to skip it. -Paul

@@RiderGuide yeah that makes sense, I hope they can get you on one of the higher geared ones soon, it's great to hear an experienced motorcyclists opinion on this bike.

It’s in Santa Cruz

This is being built in the US and ships within days of the order! -Paul

Great questions. Yes, I like the standard seating position myself, and this is definitely upright enough for me. We don't know the top speed for sure yet, since I didn't get a chance to measure it, but I'm taking their word for it that it will do 72mph until we get data. The only other one that comes to mind that's close is the Ryvid Anthem, and the NIU RQi. I've ridden the Anthem, briefly, but not the RQi yet (our buddy John did a first impressions video on this channel about the offroad XQi though). Claimed range on the Anthem is much lower, but we also haven't range tested either of them yet. We have an amazing database of kick-scooter data, but our e-moto database is just getting going. I really enjoyed riding the Solar E-Clipse as well and we have tested range and top speed for that one, but both of those numbers are lower for the E-Clipse (as is the price). -Paul

Thanks very much!

Honestly, me too! It’s an awesome machine for sure! -Paul

@@RiderGuide , do you think you'll get a chance to do a range test and a full ESG-style review?

I'm really not sure. If we see enough interest in this video and in e-moto content in general it could happen. -Paul

It's hard to resist clicking into those upper modes though! Always good to see you! -Paul

Thanks! This was literally the first video we’ve used it for. It’s a DJI Action Cam 4 and the wireless mic that goes with it. The non FPV shots are done with the latest regular insta 360 camera. -Paul

Same founder! -Paul

I'll check it out

👀

@@NatsumeKonnothis was a troll comment lol but that’s cool

The seat height can be as low as 30 inches, so you should be pretty close. The scrambler looks like it sits taller, due to the tires. -Paul

Are they selling used for about $10k or new? I'd love to test both. I need to get the District out for a proper top speed run and range test at some point. Unfortunately, unlike the scooters we test, we don't get to keep these for testing, so we just had enough time for first impressions this time. I'd love to get a real database of tested data for emotos going like we have for e-scooters! -Paul

It’s American Made so quality should be much superior than China made.

​@RiderGuide I understand what you mean, I just wonder about things like if Land Moto supports right to repair and will be offering a nice supply to fix it yourself if need be.

Why do you think you need that? Have you ridden one?

@@EVMoneyLive nope, just based on what the vp of sales said regarding the gearing options (15 OR 19 front chainring). I do have both electric and gas powered bikes, however. The best part about electric is the readily available and simple torque off the line. the limitation I've experienced is to get that torque, the front chainring is geared such that the RPM limit of the motor is reached at a relatively low top speed (50 mph). Being able to get up to 75-80 mph would make the bike a viable commuter... actually it would make it a better commuter than an ICE bike (lighter, better off the line, removable battery to charge inside at work if necessary). I wouldn't cross shop it if I was in the market for a sport bike, but with dual gearing as described, I would certainly spend $9k on it over a 600 cc ICE motorcycle for commuting.

@@kbstuff19 I'm just confused because you said "chainring," which US motorcyclists don't say. It made me think you wanted them to engineer some kind of derailleur? I don't think it's possible with a heavy motorcycle chain; instead, it would require a gearbox and a total re-engineering of the motor/drive unit, if not the frame and swingarm as well. Watching the video, I don't think Paul is riding the 19-tooth sprocket option, and he doesn't seem to have any trouble getting to very high speeds. So I don't think this is the problem that you point out. It's a solution with no problem, if you ask me. If you've indeed been following electric motorcycles, you'd remember the Brammo Empulse, which had a gearbox and clutch...which added weight, expense and complexity that really didn't benefit the rider much. I doubt the 0-50 time is that different between the two gearings, at least not enough to justify a gearbox.

Thanks for the feedback and stopping by!

@@EVMoneyLive I guess what I'm looking for is a lower powered and less-complex version of a livewire or zero for commuting. I don't need 100+ mph top speed, 0-60 in under 3 seconds, ABS/electric nannies, or sport bike suspension. Would happily trade those for lighter weight, removable battery, and lower price.

Thanks for the input & stopping by!

Thanks for the feedback!

Sweet ride for sure!

Hopefully soon!

Depends on your locality!

That gotrax one on ESG is all you need!

Your humor and engagement are always appreciated! Thanks for watching as much as you could. -Paul

For the electric industry price is decent for what you are getting.

Yeaaaa 7k is a lot lol you can definitely get a couple of motorcycles for that price

Right, you can get a used sport bike for that much. If people knew how easy and cheap it is to build your own e bike. These Chinese e bike companies would disappear...

@@timothy9360 you really think you could make an e bike that makes 70 miles an hour

@@diegof8188 You can definitely trim some of the cost by building a kit yourself...

Thanks for the feedback/suggesions.

So many seals! I shot some footage of them, but it didn't make it in the video. We had to pause shooting several times! -Paul

@RiderGuide I did discover shortly after my comment that you were in Santa Cruz, lovely town. Visited in 2012 when on a road trip, yep seals everywhere on the main pier / wharf or as we day in Stralya 'Jetty'.

@@davidfromdownunderthere is a seal around 18:40 behind them talking to the left

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll reach out to Land to see if they have more details. This would be a great addition to their website, though hard to maintain since the rules are constantly changing . -Paul

I think to convince the population to drive electric bikes, they need to allow anything less than 100 mph without a license.

Thanks for your feedback!

Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for the feedback!

Someone else asked in the comments, so I dug a little deeper. In California and 37 other states, you're right, it's pretty much just a moped or motorcycle, though many people tend to ride Surrons and smaller e-motos as if they were e-bikes. I'll be curious how it all shakes out in the other 13 states. I'm also curious if we'll ever get a crackdown on the 72 mph stand up scooters, since technically we can only ride them 15mph here in CA. -Paul

It is not classifed as an ebike so calm your tits. It has an ebike mode that has ebike power for a begineer to get on and learn how to ride it. It is a motorcycle/moped.

Limit is 375lbs! So technically he could, would probably just want to stiffen up the suspension a bunch.

😂 is he 6"8' I hope 😢

Thanks for stopping by!

I don’t know of any emoto company that’s handing out emotos to reviewers yet for keeps. They’re expensive to build. -Paul

Hopefully that can change in the future!

Thanks for your feedback. I’ll reach out to Land to see if they can provide more detail about where it could be considered something other than an e-motorcycle. I looked up e-bike laws and it appears that in at least 38 US states it’s not an e-bicycle, because even though it has the correct power level in mode 1 (750w), it can do 28mph on throttle only. I don’t know if there is a pedal kit for it like Segway had for their version of the Sutton. -Paul

It is not an bike, correct. It has an E-Bike mode that is made for begineers to elarn how to ride.

I like how it looks, but I’ve always liked naked bikes/standard bikes. -Paul

Depends on your locality!

Thanks for your feedback. Did you watch the entire video. I'm curious how does this wouldn't replace 250 - 400cc motorcycles, especially for city use? My first bike was a 400cc Honda CB-1 and my race bike for 5.5 seasons was a Ninja 250. I'm a huge fan of smaller gas-powered bikes, but I'd honestly rather ride this. Stop-sign-to-stop-sign, e-motos are amazing because you're not spending half a block waiting for the power to come on. It's just on immediately. Plus there's not having to pull the clutch at stop lights, silent-hooning, charging at home and never having to go to the gas station. My love of this bike is real. You can hear it in my laughter when I'm riding. -Paul

Most ebikes have chains over belts due to the possiblity of snapping a belt from dropping off of curbs and such.

Why wouldn’t a chain make sense here? The power level? It actually has both because there is a belt drive between the motor and chain drive. -Paul

​@@RiderGuide motor connected directly to the wheel - remove the needs for such chains / belts.

The title is intended to mean I could put anyone able bodied on it and they’d feel comfortable riding it. On the other hand, not anyone can just jump on my Triumph Street Triple and ride it. -Paul

Thanks for the feedback!

@@RiderGuide I sense you've dismissed this feedback, and I understand we all may have different priorities, but he's probably right. Not sure who decided these bikes should all look like uncomfortable, botched café racers or rocket ships, but someone is eventually going to stumble on the right moment to design and build an ebike which looks more like a mainstream motorcycle, with a convincing range and a price which doesn't immediately make your eyes water, and thanks to masss market dynamics, they'll have it cornered in no time and leave everyone else scrambling to catch up...Tesla-like. PS:I doubt this bike will be the one to do it.

We actually like this one better in the looks dept

The RiderGuide channel will have some scooter content, but will mainly be e-bike and e-moto focused, and we'll add more PEV's as time goes on, where most of our scooter content, including all of the full scooter reviews will stay over at ESG. -Paul

I would rather get his over a car or a "Real" bike like you say. This is a real bike, whether you liek it or not. It is a motorcycle. Worth every cent to me and lots of other people.

This bike is 30% the cost of a Honda Civic.

@@dllemm worth it.
