A Speedometer, How fast does the Talaria Sting go

How fast does the Talaria Sting go is one of the first questions people want to know when buying a Talaria Sting bike. Unfortunately, the official Talaria website does not tell you how fast the Talaria Sting bikes are and since there are many different sources with different speeds listed, we decided to dive deeper into the speed of the Talaria and finally answer the question “how fast does the Talaria Sting go”.

The Talaria Sting’s top speed in Sport Mode is 32mph or 51kph but with a simple modification that anyone can do, the top speed of the Talaria is 47mph or 75kph. The Talaria Sting’s top speed in Eco Mode is 28mph / 45kph after the governor is disabled.

The reason that the top speed of the Talaria Sting is not listed on the official Talaria website could for legal reasons or because the bike’s top speed straight out of the box is much slower than what the stock Talaria bikes are actually capable of.

The true top speeds will depend on many things and we have seen evidence of most Talaria Sting bikes achieving speeds around 45mph to 47mph and modified Talaria bikes reaching speeds over up to 70mph. Let’s find out how fast does the Talaria Sting go and how to make it go much faster.

How Fast Does The Talaria Sting Go?

The Talaria electric bike is a unique mountain bike and motorcycle hybrid with upgraded function and it is fully electric.

What makes the Talaria Sting bike’s potential top speed which can range from 47mph stock, up to over 70 miles per hour modified, is its lack of weight.

The Talaria Sting also has a powerful electric motor of 6,000W, a huge 60V 38Ah lithium-ion power pack battery, and the net weight of the entire bike and battery is about 139 pounds \ 63 kilograms. But how fast will your Talaria Sting go with all this built-in power?

It is difficult to answer this question since there are many variables to the speed that your Talaria will be able to achieve. However, we answer the question of how fast does the Talaria Sting go for from obtaining information from actual tests performed by Talaria Sting riders and experts.

The speed tests will vary since the Talaria actual top speed will depend on these factors:

Limiter / Governor

The Talaria comes out of the box with a speed limiter activated. It is said the reason for this is to be able to have the bike be legal as an electric bike in some areas. We discuss how to easily disable this limiter and how to make the Talaria reach speeds over 60mph on our page How Do You Make The Talaria Sting Go Faster: 4 Best Options

Terrain

The Talaria will be able to achieve much higher speeds on hard flat roads. Riding on loose gravel, sand or inclines will slow your speed.

Rider Size

A large rider will slow the Talaria bike down and so will a rider carrying a heavy load such as a heavy backpack. I much lighter rider will get faster speeds.

Sprocket, Tires, And Modifications

TIRES: How fast does a Talaria go with street tires? Some riders prefer to change their tires to road tires with a less aggressive tread. This will increase the speed of the Talaria on the road. Increased tire pressure will also increase the speed of a Talaria. How aggressive your tread is will also be a factor since riders that use very knobby tires will find a decrease in top speed on the road.

SPROCKET: How fast does the Talaria go with a lower tooth sprocket? Changing your sprocket to a lower tooth sprocket might increase your speed from 2mph to over 10mph depending on the new sprocket. Many trail riders will increase the sprocket to a 54 to 62 tooth sprocket which provides more low-end torque but will decrease the top end speed.

CONTROLLER AND BATTERY: How fast does the Talaria Sting go with controller and battery upgrades? This is where the most speed will come from and upgrading your controller and batter for more power output is how riders are getting their Talaria Sting to go over 70mph

Battery Condition: The Talaria battery is supposed to take 500 cycles before it very gradually becomes less powerful and less efficient. You should be able to get 1000 cycle charges out of a Talaria battery. If you are between 500 and 1000 cycles you may find that your power, speed, and your range will become less with each charge. It is highly recommended to take your battery maintenance and storage seriously since we have heard guys lose a lot of range long before their 500th cycle which was due to improper care or storage.

How Fast Is The Talaria Sting?

How fast does the Talaria Sting go? The Talaria Sting, which is also known as just the Talaria is a fast electric bike but the speed will depend on the Mode you drive in.

For most riders, the Talaria has a potential speed of 44 to 47 miles per hour without any upgrades and with one single and easy modification that anyone can do. That modification is to simply disable the governor.

Sport Mode Speed: Straight out of the box with the governor on, when the Talaria Sting is in Sport Mode most riders find the Talaria will be able to achieve speeds of 30mph to 32mph. These speeds are usually achieved on flat hard paved roads.

Eco Mode: Eco Mode, also known as EP mode cuts the power output for more range and ride time but this also limits the top speed. In Eco Mode, the top speeds that most riders will get with the Talaria are 24 to 28mph.

There are 2 modes found on Talaria Sting bikes and we discuss these in more detail on our page The Talaria Sting Modes Explained

Sur Ron Top Speed Safety?

The suspension, steering, wheels, and overall build quality will allow the Talaria Sting to drive at speeds up to 60 mph safely with good stability and good handling.

Riders upgrading their Talaria bike to go faster will often upgrade their suspension and tires first which will provide a more stable and safer ride with better handling.

Since e-bikes get less recognition as everyday vehicles some riders think of them more like toy bikes and they don’t put much consideration into safety gear but when you are reaching speeds over 35mph it is highly recommended to prioritize basic safety precautions.

Using proper safety equipment, following traffic rules, and most importantly, being aware at most times are only a few of the safety measures you can do to be safer when riding a Talaria on the road or trails at high speeds.

At high speeds, the very minimum in safety equipment should be a bike helmet, but for more serious trail riding, there is a lot of other safety gear to consider and we discuss that on our page Best Safety Gear For Talaria Sting Riders.
