2023 Venom EVader
So I figured I might as well start a Thread on the 2023 VENOM E-VADER. I got notification that the bike has been shipped out today. Venom emailed me a copy of the MCO so I can get the insurance in place to speed up getting the bike registered and tagged. A whole $13 a year. lol
MAKE: BAODIAO MODEL: BD578Z YEAR: 2023 VIN# L2BB58108PBxxxxxx TYPE: MOTORCYCLE/MOPED The tracking number has not updated on the Freight website yet so don't know the approximate delivery date yet. Here are the specifications. E-VADER | E-X20 Specifications Motor Power: 2000W Type: Brushless Voltage: 72V Controller: 24Tubes Charger: 72V20A Charging time: 8-10H Power supply: Battery Start: Electrical (Push Button Start) Top Speed: 35 MPH Frame: High Strength Ironic Front Suspension: Telescopic Fork Rear Suspension: Unit Swing Front Brakes: Disc (130 mm) Rear Brakes: Disc (110 mm) Front Tires: 120/70 -12 Rear Tires: 120/70 -12 Wheel: Aluminum Weight Capacity: 250 Lbs Net Weight: 315Lbs Ground Clearance: 6.5 in Length Assembled: 75 in Width Assembled: 30 in Height Assembled: 37 in Dimensions Crated: 71 x 22 x 43 in Seat Height: 31 in Wheelbase: 57.2 in I'll update the thread as it gets closer.

Update: Who said an electric bike can't travel long distances? It left Ontario, CA on Tuesday and is now in Kansas City, MO getting it's battery charged. It is still scheduled to be in New Orleans on Monday. My guess I'll see it on Tuesday or Wednesday as they will have to put it on a Tailgate Lift truck for delivery. I already have it insured so i can get registered and tagged. It cost a whole $13 a year through Geico.

LOL. I'm not sure why they went with ABF freight this time. R&L has always been reliable and on time. Most important is i hope it arrives undamaged. R&L always took care of the other bikes they delivered.

All these delays are doing is making me spend more money. I've been binge watching E Vader upgrade videos. I was surprised that there are a few inexpensive mods that will give it more torque and increase speed by 15mph.

I'm patiently waiting for my bike. Bike is still sitting in Little Rock and now the delivery date is Thursday. Not Impressed with ABF.

The bike has made it to New Orleans and has today as the delivery date. Possibly Bike day.

Looking forward to your thoughts on this one.
I'd like one myself, but the out of box 35mph top speed and limited range really irk me for the cost of it. I'm cautiously curious if it really is 2000w as well. I highly doubt it, but possible I suppose, limited then by the controller. |

I'll also be looking into upgrading to 72v 40ah Lithium battery. Stock batteries are six 12v 20ah seal lead acid.

Well bummer. ABF is telling me they can't make residential tailgate delivery which is a bunch of BS. I let Venom know this and these said the same thing. BS. They paid for tailgate delivery and going to light a fire under there butt. Bike has already been delayed several days. ABF told me they could deliver on Friday if I could meet them somewhere like a truck stop or business. As of right now I have them schedule to deliver to my office. I'm sure Venom will raise enough hell they will find a way to deliver to my house.

Just found out from Venom. It will be delivered to my house. That will teach them to mess around with my new bike.
