Artic Leopard EX 880 - elektrika k posrání

What the video is about

• The speakers review the Arctic Leopard EXE 880 electric off-road motorcycle (enduro/motocross style).
• They position it as a serious competitor to traditional ICE (gas) bikes, not a city scooter.
• They describe it as their first real electric enduro/mx experience, noting they have limited prior knowledge of electric motorcycles.

Claimed specs / “on paper” performance

From the discussion:

• Power: ~53 horsepower
• Top speed / range: up to ~130 and roughly 200 km (stated as “plus/minus 200 km”)
• Weight: about 115–120 kg
• Charging time: full charge in ~3 hours
• Battery capacity / energy:
  • mentions 75 Ah
  • also states energy around 6.75 kWh (highlighted as the more meaningful “energy carried” figure)

Physical / engineering observations during inspection

Build quality and components

• Frame weld quality: they comment positively on the welds and the overall look of the construction.
• Forged parts: they note the appearance of forged components, which gives them confidence in the structure.

Brakes

• They sound cautiously optimistic.
• They compare against earlier tests of Chinese bikes where braking disappointed them—here, they feel encouraged.

Wheel / “rosette” setup

• They describe a motocross-style layout where the hub/rosette is permanently attached at the wheel center.

Suspension

• They mention HT suspension.
• A cheaper variant may have slightly worse shocks, but still includes adjustability for both front and rear.

Battery placement and handling impact

• They praise that the battery is crammed low and protected by the frame/chassis.
• They believe this contributes to a low center of gravity, improving handling.

Off-road only (no street homologation)

• They explicitly state the bike is not homologated, meaning it’s intended for off-road / motocross-style riding, not legal road use.

Ride modes and throttle control (key feature)

Riding modes (examples mentioned)

They discuss multiple riding modes, including:

• Pure motocross
• Trial
• Rally
• Novice
• Enduro

(Their exact wording varies, but enduro/mx/trial/rally are clearly mentioned.)

Throttle response levels: D1 / D2 / D3

• D1: weakest throttle reaction (for beginners)
• D2: stronger response
• D3: “total massacre” / near-max aggressive response

Switching modes while riding

• Throttle response (D1/D2/D3) can be changed while riding.
• Higher riding modes (e.g., novice/enduro/mx/etc.) can be changed only when stopped.

Reverse gear

• There is a button marked “R” for reversing.
• They note it can be useful and reference a race anecdote where reverse helped.

Experiential review: what they liked / issues found

Instant torque feel

• A major theme: electric power delivery is immediate.
• This surprises newcomers who are used to clutch-based ICE torque ramp-up.

Smoothness differences by mode

• Enduro mode: described as smoother and less “jerky” than novice.
• Novice mode: surprisingly jerky, though still manageable.

Control, maneuverability, and “light feel”

They repeatedly emphasize that the bike:

• feels highly controllable
• is maneuverable
• feels light in the dirt, even though it’s around 120 kg

Ergonomics (fit for taller riders)

• Both speakers mention they’re about 2 meters tall, and the bike feels a bit small for them.
• Suggestions:
  • lower footrests by ~2.5 cm
  • possibly adjust handlebars/stem/seat height

Braking and recuperation (regen)

• They didn’t heavily test regenerative braking.
• One speaker turns recuperation off based on owner advice.
• They suggest brakes could be softer, and note the bike may not be fully broken in.

Battery use during riding

• After about 1.5 hours of off-road riding, battery drops to roughly ~10% (as described).
• Owner claim: with recuperation enabled, it can add ~13 hours of runtime.
  • They present this as a surprising/optimistic benefit.

Conclusions / recommendations

• They strongly conclude the bike is fun and not boring.
• The “wow” factor comes from:
  • low center of gravity
  • instant acceleration
  • controllability in forests/meadows
• They emphasize you don’t need to be a pro, but warn:
  • the highest aggression modes (D3 enduro/mx) can be dangerous if you make mistakes in technical terrain.
• They also highlight the advantage of being quiet—not disturbing others, especially in forests.

Promotional / guide-like info mentioned

• They plan to advertise and attend Moto Emotion (the first weekend of October).
  • A Dakar section is mentioned.
  • The bikes will be on display.
• The owner (Honza / “Honzo”, Honza Kočič) offers rides/experiences to try the bikes.
  • The video suggests contacting him and/or checking the description.
