The wheels are laced with beefy spokes, and the rim itself is coated black and just as wide as a Tomos Streetmate rear wheel. It is a brushed aluminum side cover base with a wood battery top cover. They have a clever design for housing the battery, controller, and electronic wires. If you like the Trail Tech Vapor, this is a notch above that. The digital LCD dash is one of the bests I’ve seen and not the typical dash in e-bike kits. Now for the unique parts that you won’t find on mopeds. It has two modes, a running mode with a nice ring and a brighter mode for night time riding. The headlight is the same as used by Harley Davidson 4.5 inch LED passing lights.

Mid-rise handlebars with controls and levers similar to all newer Tomos models. Its made of better material and different foam. The seat is a replica of the Tomos Targa LX seat. EBR hydraulic forks with a brace and hydraulic disc brakes similar to those from a mini dirt bike. Black adjustable shocks, these are pretty tall 350mm. The suspension is the same that most of us use when upgrading our mopeds. It has a three-piece crank like most mopeds, though the one on the RCR is bigger and helps when peddling as a bike. The swingarm is similar to the MLM Puch Magnum reinforced swingarm. This for me is a plus, I like tubular frames like the Puch Magnum, Batavus Starflight, Honda Hobbit, or others alike. The frame is tubular like most top tanks and not stamped like a Tomos Targa or Puch Maxi. Its a cross between a top tank and Tomos moped. It’s in line with what some of us do with our mopeds, low bars, and top tank conversion. The RCR is influenced by the popular cafe racer style in a moped package. If you didn’t see those questions and answers no worries you can visit the Moped Rich Instagram account and they are there or you can keep reading and I’ll cover them here. As with Moped of the day post, I’ll cover the appearance and then dive into some of the specs followed by the Q&A from IG. I took to Instagram to see what the moped community wanted to know. The RCR specs and what we tested on it are close. That might be a bit redundant but just in case you were thinking it was Austin of another state. The Onyx RCR belongs to Lester of Austin Mopeds in Austin Texas. Ebike if I was pulled over, but electric moped if I’m just riding it. The RCR is an electric bike or moped depending on your point of view. Over the past weekend, I was lucky enough to test ride an Onyx RCR motorbike.
