"A direct drive power delivery meant that the $8.34 of my $10.00 was back in my pocket after 20 years of not operating a real motorcycle. Not only is the bike smoother than I could manage in all of my years of shifting, but the optimum power band is literally always there!"

Though it lacks the torque and acceleration of the SR models, it costs $7,000 less

The review describes Varla Eagle One as a fantastic off-road scooter offering impressive torque, speed, and range at a reasonable price. It's perfect for commuting and off-road adventures, boasting a solid build and good quality. Some drawbacks include a lack of handlebar space and weak LED headlights. The scooter tends to be over-responsive at higher speeds, but offers good value for money with its robust performance features.

The review discusses the expanded range of e-scooters offered by Varla Scooter, each with its own strengths based upon functionality. Varla's range now includes six different e-scooters suited for different purposes, from the entry-level Varla Wasp suitable for urban riders, to the high-performance Varla Eagle One Pro designed for tackling any terrain.

The Himiway Cobra Pro is a powerful, reliable, and well-performing electric bike known for its good build quality, well-performing brakes and suspension, and great value for money.

The Pedego Interceptor eBike offers a comfortable ride with an appealing design and good build and ride quality.

The Surface 604 Shred eBike offers good value for the price with its stylish design, general build quality and features like a torque sensor, good brakes and tires, despite a few design issues such as rear weight bias and odd water bottle mount placement.

The Surface 604 Shred is a sturdy eBike with decent performance and minor design flaws; it offers great value for money, good build quality and enjoys good on and off-road balance but struggles with hill climbing due to rear hub motor.

“The Livewire is a seriously quick naked bike. The character of the power delivery and control response can easily be altered to match the riding conditions.” Jared Northcott, [Webbikeworld](https://www.webbikeworld.com/2022-livewire-one/)

"The motorcycle has a top speed of 45 mph and a curb weight of only 154 lbs. It’s as benign as motorcycles come."

"The 2022 Zero SR gets a less powerful iteration of the Z-Force 75-10 motor. Peak output figures are a claimed 74hp and 122 lb-ft of torque, plenty enough to propel the motorcycle to a top speed of 104mph."

"Available in two trims — ZF3.6 Modular and ZF7.2 — the Zero FX can be the off-road motorcycle you’re just getting started on or the one for a more experienced rider."

"Yes, you’re missing out on the neck-snapping torque and acceleration that the SR models offer, but it’s worth noting that the Zero S costs at least $7,000 less than its bigger siblings."

"The range of my bike will vary depending on the terrain where I’m riding, my speed, and the use of the throttle. The more I’m at full throttle, the less mileage I get."

The SONDORS MetaCycle stands out with its appealing design and zero emissions, offering a smooth, comfortable ride and strong acceleration. However, the actual range of 30 miles falls short of the advertised 60-80 miles, and the stiff seat and lack of storage space are noticeable drawbacks. Despite minor disappointments and the higher-than-expected total cost of $6,450, the reviewer found the bike worth its price overall.

The Pedego Boomerang is a good, reliable bike with excellent construction, attention to details, good aesthetics and strong after-sales support. The bike is quite expensive, mainly because of the added convenience features, premium dealer network, and parts accessibility.
