Silence SE01+ Random Ride To A Bike Cafe & Pub

This video was made while I had the Silence S01+ in my possession for 4 weeks. I didn't give you much of an intro so here it is! I rode out to the Cafe and pub with my 13 year old Jed... I was impressed how will the scooter performed with a pillion. Thanks for watching. Drop the video a thumbs up would be appreciated. I mention this scoot is 7k but infact they are selling for £6195 now as of Jan 24. Have a good week 🍻👍

I'm really excited to see how electric changes over the next couple of years! Love riding them.

Nice ideal for a city bike

Thanks ,great video, l agree with you,it’s the price that will hold me back , be handy for me to pop to the shops , 15 mile each way, l was at the Fisherman’s cot 2 days ago 👍

that was a really interesting video . thanks Steve and also Jed for the input . the fit and finish on your close up shots look really nice . With the government approach to making petrol and diesel vehicles extinct does make me uneasy to say the least . I like freedom of choice and am even resisting having a smart meter although my supplier keeps pestering with e mails . excellent work you do ,till next time .

Makes me long for the dry roads and leafy lanes of the summer!

Very helpful information. I always judge how the passenger stays on is if I don't see their heals then they were good.

Heh ER that’s actually a really cool machine very silent tho I do think they should have sound to at least make people aware that they are there and the same with cars but yes lovely 😊 your son very funny this one .. yep , Yep, Yep , he was getting bored as they do 😂😂 I liked the lady behind kept looking round being nosey 😂😂 I do miss summer 😊😊 Enjoyed that 😊😊

Liked that a lot. Twist n go and EV scooters also giving us the lack of head banging with pillions could convince me a premium over Dax might be acceptable. Love the discussion too. 👍

I often go out two up with my son. Think I'll stick to my Honda Forza 350 scooter. I love it.😊

Interesting to hear your opinion on the Silence scooter, ER. Being an old time motorcyclist the idea of an electric machine doesn't light my candle but, I suppose, it seems to be the future. Nice weather when you made the vid. The River Exe at The Fishermans Cot is now halfway up to the bridge arches.

I never knew fishermen had such nice cots 😊

A lovely afternoon out with Jed there Dave and your enthusiasm for the Silence really came through. I could totally see myself justifying the expense if I had a daily commute and that scooter had sufficient range for the job. It would quickly prove to be cheap and most importantly enjoyable transport. Unfortunately, like you, I currently have no need for one, so as much as I would like one, the price is just too high for it to be an unnecessary purchase. The torque of an electric motor is definitely a major advantage if you have to ride a scooter with a pillion. On an ICE scooter in this category you would definitely feel the pillion slowing you down. A nice scenic ride there Steve and it was nice to see you out and about with Jed and I'm glad he enjoyed the experience. I hope you and the family are all healthy Steve. As for me, well I think that I am slowly getting better but it is definitely taking a while this time around ! Cheers mate, love to the Exmouth crew from la belle France ❤, chat soon ! Garry & Ruby

Definitely a good run and a good test of the capability of the Silence SE01+ Power/Torque is never an issue for these electric vehicles, they always make me smile and chuckle when they take off. You're right that's a beautiful road, need to get down there sometime. I fully agree that going forward I think these are the future of commuting, if you're just going around town/city or going from town to town for work then I don't think you could argue against one of these (or any other electric option) Love the interviews with Jed, nice to get the second opinion. He's right those pillion pegs are really short, very dainty almost. The biggest issue I have is cost of repairs/breakdowns etc, obviously as demand get higher, resources will get more obtainable but for now it's very scary how much I'm sure it all cost. Respect your honesty mate, can't say I'm sold yet on the electric stuff just because of the way I ride however I'm not in denial, these bikes are coming and I do think the majority of bikers could really argue against it. Great video mate, very informal and very eye opening. Hope you and the family are well bud.

Hi 👋 watched this on Sunday but its taken me this long to think of a comment that wasnt full of "yes but..." It was undoubtedly a smooth, quick, peaceful enjoyable ride. And you got around a fair bit on your day out. If they could bring the price down to £5000 something, it would be an excellent local bike.😊 Now, just to make people think. There's no such thing as Net ZERO. The Net is their get out clause. It means they can do what they want first and then make us use something "green". They are struggling to produce enough renewable electricity for the ever burgeoning number of households. How on earth will they produce enough for the far greater number of vehicles? I suspect the electricity used for them will be far from green. Still, they look fun though.😁

seems well capable ;; but i think there is a bit of a fiddle there allowing an ev bike to have over double the power to push people towards electric ;;;

Thanks!

An electric scooter makes more sense than the bigger 20K + bikes. Commuting, short cafe runs, why not? We've certainly considered electric options having an excess of power produced from our solar during the summer. Well done to your lad for getting in front of the camera.

Its a good round town commuter, Maybe in a few years time the ev market may start to take off Nice review mate with your lad

It only the slow charging that would put me off a bit, I’m already an EV driver, so electric holds no fears, as I have been for two years. I’ve tried an Energica Ribelle, which was superb, but over £20k new. Another couple of years development with a range of about 150 miles and hour/ hour and a half charging at a charging station and that’s pretty much enough for me.
