“The battery uses a custom, Bluetooth-enabled ONYX app to monitor parameters including maximum and minimum voltage, max power, max charge, max discharge current.

The battery is even Bluetooth compatible, as the company explained:
#ONYX MOTORBIKES UPGRADE#
The original battery cover was a bit finicky to remove and return, and now it sounds like they’ve got that worked out with a new rosewood cover.Īnd while the original battery capacity was sufficient for many, the updated battery built from 21,700 cells doubles the range and is even backwards compatible for riders who want to upgrade their existing RCRs. The lack of turn signals on a 60 mph (96 km/h) vehicle seemed like an oversight, and I’m glad to see them included now. Now ONYX is adding true dual-piston hydraulic disc braking to the rear wheel in addition to regen braking. The original model featured a cable-pull rear disc brake, which was deemed sufficient since the rear wheel also used strong regenerative braking. While I loved the original ONYX RCR, these updates basically shore up the few areas where it could have been improved, as well as adding new features that I didn’t even realize were being asked for, but that I’m excited to see anyways.

I know because I test rode the ONYX RCR and I haven’t stopped smiling ever since. The RCR features a long bench seat, giant scrambler-style headlight and a 5,400 W peak-rated motor that can seriously propel this machine. The bike was originally designed by moped-builder Timothy Seward with its frame based on the tried-and-true Puch mopeds from nearly a half century ago.

The RCR is a 60 mph (96 km/h) full suspension retro-styled e-bike that is US-assembled at two factories in San Francisco and Los Angeles. But there’s only one model that has been selling like crazy for years now: the ONYX RCR.Īnd now ONYX is making a good thing even better with a long list of updates to its legendary speedster of an electric moped.įor any e-bike or electric moped fans that have been living under a rock for the last two and a half years and still haven’t heard of the ONYX RCR, here’s the rundown. When it comes to electric mopeds, there are actually a lot of options these days.
