BUYING
We purchased a brand new Talaria electric off-road motorcycle for €6,000 from this dealer and company. It had serious assembly issues from delivery, and the electrical system has since failed completely.
When we raised these issues, the company collected the bike for inspection.
Their formal written response told us the electrical failures are due to — their official position — "significant exposure to moisture" and outdoor use near the
coast.
This is an off-road motorcycle. Designed, marketed, and sold for outdoor use.
And their response to a complete electrical failure is that the bike was outside.
For context: this bike was barely ridden — minimal kilometres, a handful of occasions. It was stored outside with a cover, exactly as any motorcycle owner
would. It was never in an accident. Never crashed or abused. A nearly new motorcycle with almost no use, stored responsibly, should not have a burnt
power connector, a failed screen, a seized front bearing, or any of the other failures identified. But according to this company, the problem is that it was
near the coast.
If you live near the coast — in Portugal, Spain, anywhere with sea air — their own written position is that this bike’s electrical system is not built to handle
your environment.
We have now:
✗ Been without a working bike for months
✗ Been offered a repair bill instead of a replacement
✗ Filed formal complaints with ASAE and DECO
✗ Contacted Talaria directly — no response
We did not pay €6,000 for a bike that cannot be used outdoors near the sea. No one should.
