This Electric Scooter Goes 100 miles For Just £1! | NEW Silence S01 Connected Review

Рет қаралды 531,851

Күн бұрын

This is the Silence S01 Connected electric scooter. And it's ridiculously inexpensive to run. According to its makers, it'll travel 100 miles at a cost of just £1. Plus it has a removable battery pack that lets you charge it without having to plug the bike into an outlet. Rory takes it for a spin to see whether it's any good.

For clarity, a moped can be ridden at 16 (unlike this bike) and is 50cc or less, and cannot go faster than 28/30 mph. This bike is a motorcycle, and you need to be 17 years old, and have completed your CBT - to then ride it on L plates. I hope this helps ! This bike look really good. Thanks for a great video.

Fail to comply with anti noise regs, and 2. all too often detract from the real power output of the two stroke engine. and 3. probably negate the warranty on the bike. As we know the exhaust on a two stroke engine is part of the power production , proper engine scavenging via the exhaust is part of that. With regard to price, manufacturers will produce the cheapest tat that they can get away with, that's why there are so many regulations in force to control them.

I really like this design because THE most useful thing about my regular scooter (Leonardo 250) is the huge underseat storage area plus the bag hook on the leg shield. Which allows me to carry three bags of shopping at a time, or stow my helmet, gloves, jacket etc when I'm away from the scoot. The S01 is the only electric scooter I've seen that can boast the same practicality without having to bolt an ugly top box to it. Bravo to Silence for recognizing that scooters are practical devices first and foremost, and that you shouldn't have to sacrifice storage just because it's electric.

From a motorcyclists perspective there are plenty of scooters that can already do what this does. Where this wins out, however, is the separation of battery space and storage space. You don't need to sacrifice your cargo room for another battery. And you don't need to carry a heavy battery around in your arms. The battery removal and installation on this is pure genius and I hope it catches on. However for many this is still not viable until it actually reaches 70mph. Great to see that some progress is finally being made with electric bikes even if it's just finally getting the basics right.

For the record ☝.....I have tested this bike already and I can tell you that it is just something out of the conventional and it smokes anyone from traffic lights, plus at 62 mph it overruns almost any 125 scooter or 125 motorbike and then the app it is very handy for making sure that you don't run out of electricity, so all in all it is a very good buy. Personally for me the 3 things that calls me to buy it are:first and most important is the SILENCE 🔕 then the acceleration+top speed and then the cost of running it.This bike means 0 oil,belts,chains,sparkplugs,petrol ☝ so you do your math!😉

My friend recently recommended me to get an electric scooter with a detachable battery after selling my car, I personally don't see myself riding a scooter but this one is very appealing looking. Has storage, range, I can charge the battery at home or work which is huge to me, definitely considering it now.

I've had a Honda Sh300i for many years - 280cc - so I'd probably find this a bit slow. The small wheels would put me off too. No mention of ABS either - might sound like overkill for a bike but it's saved my bacon on a few occasions and should be mandatory. Disappointing that the mainstream bike manufacturers have been so slow to go electric.

@fritsified5952 Жыл бұрын

Well the SH300 is just brilliant. Compact size, large wheels and plenty power (20kW) for relaxed cruise at 100kmh highway speed and do quick overtakes on top. I agree, I don't think this can replace a SH300 but I think it's marketed as a 125cc. Too bad the market for a bit larger electric scooter is so limited. There's the BMW CE04, but that bike is way more expensive. ABS is a must in my book, regardless of bike size, weight, speed or price.

A few things come to mind, 1, £5k for a 125 elec equiv to pet? 2, Life expectancy of the battery and cost of replacement? 3, You still need either a 2y CBT or motorcycle license to use. Ideally for me I want something that equates to 50 cc, that is less than half the price and you can just use your car license to operate, otherwise it looks like a cool addition to someone that has a decent car😁.

I thought they should have made the right break the strong one and the left the regen. Every other bike has the right handle break for the front wheel where you get 70% of your breaking and the right foot pedal for the back break. So if you are use to a typical bike in a panic emergency situation, you will using regen instead of full breaking. Motorcyclists generally don't go for the clutch handle for full emergency breaking.

@spacemanschannel6380 Жыл бұрын

I have this scooter so let me explain. The right handle brakes the front, plus activates regen on the back wheel. The left handle primarily brakes the back wheel, plus a little bit weaker the front wheel. When I approach a red light, I only brake with the right handle for soft braking, plus I get lots of energy back with regen. If I drive faster, I brake with BOTH handles at the same time. This is what I was told at driving school, and what is the safest.

You'll get 40 - 45 miles flat out in sport mode. 55 - 60 miles in city mode. You might squeeze 60-70 miles out of it if you don't leave Eco mode, but that restricts you to a top speed of 43 mph. For mixed modes - driving from the outskirts into a city centre and back, you could get around 50 miles, more if you can put it on charge while you are at work.

It's good for what it is, but many of your comparisons to a regular moped or a motorcycle are absolutely not correct. First of all it does cost alot more. Something similar like a Honda Grom or Benelli Tnt125. They cost around 3500 for the Honda and 2400 for the benelli, both of them are doing range of around 250-300km, top speed around 110-115kmh, same weigh and even smaller size. Plus the range you are rating this is probably just what the manufacturer told you, for electric vehicles like that the real actual range is always half of the stated.

Direct drive motors in these things (the big block in the rim ones) are amazing, they are completely sealed, have no gearing, and only need to have the bearings replaced every 5k or so. Works in sub freezing conditions with no chokes or carbs or mixes to worry about, get in and go.

For places like Thailand and the Philippines, they make a huge sense as their Electric is far cheaper than their Petrol is and a lot of people ride Scooters in Asia. Even the Netherlands would be good for an EV cycle as many ride over there, at least we did when I lived there over 60 years ago :). The one advantage you didn't mention with an EV Scooter is that if you are waiting at the lights, you use no power idling, so in peak traffic where you do a lot of stop start the fuel economy of an EV shine even more.
