@patrickpsaume2425 thanks for the comment. Regarding the Bluetooth connection, no, I don't need to pair the controller each time... it's actually amazingly fast to connect to the tablet each time I turn it on. And while I can't remember if I'm in f1 or f2, I never need to change anything. My only suggestion is to make sure you're using the latest firmware for the controller.

@ajayn7153 do you mean the handguards? They are the Oxford Premium handguards/lever protectors. They are great if you are having clearance issues on the G310GS at full steering lock after changing the bars/risers. Barkbusters are definitely stronger, but they simply wouldn't fit with my handlebar/riser combo. The Oxford Handguards have proven fairly strong, surviving a few crashes.

@IanKetterer I can't say I notice any change in the induction noise... which probably suggests it causes minimal restriction (of course, there would be some). I'll listen more carefully next time and let you know if I can confidently perceive anything.

@Alexfreebird I am cannot confirm the exact brand I used as I'm currently away from home, but any ethylene glycol based coolant from an automotive store should be fine to use.

Pretty this was the stuff I used...www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/penrite-penrite-green-long-life-anti-freeze-anti-boil-premix-coolant---1l/575808.html?srsltid=AfmBOooM345ibuuCdhc_ElupTiaON8gyTK7o2I1N3EAn6XA_SxP5tuA6Zmg

@michaelboland3460 I suspect your bike might be one of the first generation which didn't have the liquid cooled mcu. If you aren't routinely pushing the bike hard and getting the mcu excessively hot, you are probably better off without the cooling system... they can fail and leak coolant into the mcu itself!

Thanks for the comment 👍. The lever is made by Kipp. If you search ebay for "KIPP Cam Levers Adjust External Plastic + Steel/S.Steel Black MC (M5-M10) K0648" you will find the exact part. The options i choose are M6x1, stainless steel, 20mm thread. The gold spacer is actually an old school Mountain bike chainring nut I had hanging around the workshop...but anything simple should work. Hope that helps

Heya. Camera is GoPro Hero 7 Black. Pretty sure I trimmed and shared this clip to RUclips from GoPro Quick. I don't think I added any filters, but maybe GoPro Quick does some filtering by default? It always was brilliant weather that day. Location is Queensland, Australia.

Sounds awesome! Has wheels, will send!

Any bike is an adventure bike with the right attitude! Wish I had gotten this guy to jump in front of me sooner so I could better footage...he was killing it...super squirrelly everywhere 😂

No problem. I'll do my best to make a vid when I can... unfortunately, I have a busy work period coming up. I haven't even had a chance to ride since installing it 😞.

Thanks. I’ll look forward to that when you get the time 😊

I thought the same, that I am wondering if it works well will driving or if it's hard to use.

​@@adthar9340take your time mate! Good working period with not ah much stress. ❤

An ultra and a storm sound like a great combination! Check out ampdbros.com.au/collections/surron-motorcycle-parts/products/surron-storm-bee-brake-disc-pads?variant=43942782828760 for a selection of storm bee parts...looks like they have brake pads in stock. If apmd bros have the parts in stock, they seem to get them shipped quickly. Hope that helps!

Works fairly well. The protection ends at around eye height...but it's better than when I had the powerbronze screen on the kijima mount. The mini fairing allows some adjustment of the screen position, which gives it the edge over my previous set ups. I am also quite tall...so I would need to go higher to get my helmet clear of the wind...but I don't feel I really need to.

If your eyes aren't great, you could consider going to something bigger than an 8inch tablet. Depending on your cockpit, you could try a 10inch tablet and increased font sizes for your old man eyes.

Level 2. Transforms the bike 👍👍👍

You can definitely just do this same thing with the oem bolt and carry an Allen key. As I often flip the sensor depending on riding conditions, I just opted for a quick release style fastener. Just be aware that when you first flip the sensor it takes a few minutes of riding for the abs to finish its diagnostic mode (abs light flashes), during which you will have no speedometer or front abs. Once the abs light stops flashing and stays illuminated, you will have your speedometer back and front abs. Every time you turn off the ignition, this will process will repeat. So if I can, I leave the ignition on and shut the bike down with the kill switch. Obviously this is only good for short stops.

I think if the pre abs check has been done and then flip the sensor then there is no wait time or instrument outage

Ha yeah always the way the gopro. The first time I poked my nose up there a few months ago I chose a bad gear on one of the steep pinches and stalled...I just started sliding backwards down the hill with both wheels locked. That gravel is like ball bearings 😀

Who knows...they improved so many things with the update, but removed a feature that, in my opinion, is a safety thing if take an abs bike into anything remotely spicy off road...at least flipping the sensor works pretty well.

@@adthar9340 I was told they had to kill it for Euro 5 compliance

Hi, so the best data I have from that weekend of riding is for the enduro stuff. Ran the battery from 100% down to 49%. 28.27km, 471m elevation gain, moving time 1hr9min, average speed 24.5km/hr, Max speed 99.9km/hr (turbo mode blast on the fire road back to the car). A solo ride being quite conservative in riding style managed: battery 100% to 42%. 38.78km, 543m elevation gain, moving time 1hr 50min, 21.1km/hr average speed, 65.5km/hr Max speed. Combination of fire roads, technical climbs and single track. My longest distance was a combination of country backroads and dirts roads. Battery 100% to 25%. 56.92km. 976m elevation gain. 1hr 19min moving time. Average 43km/hr. Max speed 96.1km/hr. Hope that helps!

I did a higher speed range test once...ran the battery from 100% to 5%, averaging 62.5km/hr, Max 108km/hr. Travelled 43.95km, moving time 42mins.

​@@adthar9340 damn, i really want to get one! really impressive looking electric bike (and of what's available was my pick from what i've researched) and was seriously considering getting one but i simply need much more range like twice that minimum (particularly for the idea of also using it as a high speed commute vehicle where i can't charge it at the destination). I'd buy a spare battery to swap and charge for weekend riding no worries. just not viable when you're not riding in a loop or return trips (or too far for return). i'm really looking forward to future battery technology breakthroughs. guess i'll have to stick with ICE's a bit longer until then or my circumstances change. thanks a lot for this information! it's a bit hard to find good information (that's not excessively optimistic) about highway / high speed travel range tests for this model. i really appreciate the data. also great job with the videos and working together with the community weeding out issues and finding good mods!

@KILLERCHIEF realistically the best use case for this bike is why I bought mine...I wanted something quiet for cutting laps in my backyard. Being road registered, it's then great for running errands and the like. I also now have an ICE adventure bike for the all day rides... the thing is, I just wish it was as quiet as the electric. There's definitely something to be said for minimal noise when off road. Let's hope we soon have batteries that can give us the best of both worlds!

Awesome...another storm bee in the area 👍👍👍. My instagram is dirtdiggler1999...you can pm me there of you like.

I normally head in from near the MTB parking area. Then head along Cypress Rd, and then from memory you keep to the left on Cliff Rd. It eventually turns to single track and comes out on Glencoe Rd to the south.

Oh, and you'll go past some signed MTB trails on the left....keep going past those.

cheers

For me, it depends how much of a mess it is. When it's really muddy, I remove the battery and put plastic bags with rubber bands over the connectors on the bike side. I only use high pressure on the fenders and similar parts. Then I just use normal hose pressure most other places and avoid blasting anything that looks electronic. If it's not too grubby I leave it all assembled.

Emissions from the Storm Bee are seminal

Lol! When you see me posting a vid about exhausts, then you will know something is up 😆

For coolant the manual states to use an ethylene glycol coolant...I used a regular automotive ethylene glycol coolant from Penrite. Hope that helps!

Hi Francisco, the white panels are held in place worth a cable tie and the two black plastic expanding rivets. For the expanding rivets you will notice raised circle in the centre... you can use a small flat blade screw driver to pry that centre piece out a little. This then allows the whole rivet to be removed. If you google "plastic expanding rivet" you will see what I mean. Hope that helps!

@@adthar9340 thanks. That helps. I think I will replace them with screws.

@Francisco Shi I did the same thing using M3 nutserts/rivnuts...they fit without any drilling/tapping of the frame.

Happy to help! And thanks for sub...definitely have another mod video planned...just need the time to make it. Hopefully in a couple of weeks.

Hi Chupapi, I have only ridden the Light Bee and the Storm Bee...i havent had a chance to ride an ultra bee yet. But between the LB and the SB, the SB was the only option really as I am about 186cm tall. Check out this review between all three if you haven't seen it already: ruclips.net/video/mhhW42s-CY0/видео.html As for the regenerative braking...when activated by either the brake levers or coasting, the motor becomes like a generator and sends power back into the battery. In theory it increases efficiency, but in reality it mainly creates adjustable braking power and engine braking forces.

@@adthar9340 thanks man

Sounds like you live in an off-road paradise! If it helps, here is a link to an owners manual ampdbros.com.au/pages/tutorials-manuals-assembly It's probably not as detailed as you'd like, but it's what my Storm Bee came with. Baring any actual technical faults, the routine servicing seems fairly straightforward. What I am hoping we all eventually learn is where there is parts compatibility with mainstream brands for consumables like brake pads and fork seals etc. I am sure there will be a lot of cloned parts on these things. I will hopefully have another video soon showing installation of a skid plate and the modifications I have made to tidy up the bird nest behind the stock skid plate. My videos won't be super entertaining, but hopefully informative.

@@adthar9340 Wow, thanks! The user manual will be incredibly helpful. I don't know enough about my Storm Bee. I haven't modified it much at all. I just added some KTM full-wrap handguards because they previous owner had already broken off the balls of the brake levers and one rear indicator was gaffer taped on. Those are vulnerable parts. The KTM handguards work well but I needed to drill slightly larger holes in the handlebar ends to accommodate them. The Storm Bee has really thick gauge metal handlebars so there's plenty of strength still. I ground the brake levers smooth until I can get replacements in Spring, according to my dealer. I should probably adjust the suspension because it's a bit soft but it's NEVER bottomed out so it's not an emergency. My front brake has lost most of its power. Although the pads have plenty of wear. I told my dealer but they said the front brake is fine. It is not. Any tips? I could flush and change the fluid and try to find pads.

@Martin Foster happy to help. I think i read your posts on reddit and decided very early only to get some full wrap guards. They have definitely saved my levers after multiple tip overs. There are aftermarket brake levers advertised online m.aliexpress.com/item/1005004919740574.html I can't vouch for the levers themselves, but I recently purchased my skid plate from the same seller and it was a good transaction. Could save you some time if didn't want to wait for sur ron parts. Regarding brake performance, and if the bike hasn't had much in the way of servicing, I would definitely be looking at the brake fluid. It's probably not the best quality fluid to begin with...and after a few years it's unlikely to be in good shape.

@@adthar9340 Very helpful! Yes, I think I can order easily from Aliexpress. It won't be the first time. I was talking to somebody about neoprene socks to keep contaminants out of the fork seals. Was that you? I'm going to try installing some because leaky front forks contaminated the brake pads too but I cleaned them up. Still no power but it might be related to the fact I can only use 2-fingers on the shortened/damaged levers. I'll try flushing out the brake lines too. You're a wealth of information. Thanks so much. I just picked up my Ultra Bee. I like it a lot but I still love my Storm Bee. I just think the Ultra Bee will be more confidence inspring up my steep, technical trails in my area.

@Martin Foster I don't think it was me about the neoprene, but pad contamination definitely won't be helping. I am one-finger braking on my Storm Bee...so you should definitely be able to get more power by the sounds of it. Pads and fluid might be needed...and be sure to thoroughly clean the rotors. How much brake regen do you run? On loose surfaces I am at 2...on tarmac I crank up the brake regen and turn off the motor regen to try and maximise efficiency of the bike. The Ultra Bee sounds great. I think if it was in the line up when I bought the Storm Bee it would've been a difficult choice. The size difference between the Storm Bee and the light bee made it an easy choice at the time.

Couldn't agree more on sharing what we learn about these bikes. There isn't a huge amount of info out there at this stage. I can already think a few things that would make for nice aftermarket upgrades...one being a nicer coolant reservoir with a screw cap. I will endeavour to keep sharing what I learn!

@@adthar9340 The coolant system seems interesting. Im told 'its normal for it to leak'. I can understand some coolant finding its way through the cap when it is at 100%, the issue i have is i clean wiping coolant every ride, i now can see coolant level in the reservoir at 50% and I'm still cleaning off wearing coolant. After attempting to taking a close look, I failed to locate where is it coming from. Does any know at what temperature the MCU requires the system to start cooling? So far on my bike i have only see the temp between 1-3 bars. On another topic, has anyone had any drama with their brakes?

Hi Paul, Thanks for comments. I think it's useful for us owners to share as much a possible about these bikes in the absence of a comprehensive dealer network. I ended up using Penrite 10W40 MCGO... presumably that just stands for motorcycle gear oil. I had seen other recommendations for the 85w-90 as well, but my user manual says 10w40. The dealer here also indicated 10w40. Hard to know for sure which is correct... but either is probably better than what is supplied. The best thing I have found so far regarding parts diagrams are those found here surronelectricbikes.co.uk/parts/# Just scroll down to the Storm Bee section. No part numbers are provided, of course ha! But a parts catalogue at least must exist. You see the layout of the cooling system in the "radiator" section. Next time I have the bike apart I will try and get more photos and video, but the diagram really helps see what's going on. Cheers!

@@adthar9340 Thanks for that , Like yourself I'm going to manufacture a mounting bracket as I'm not keen on the way every thing hangs off the Skid/Bash plate !

@Paul Marlow I have been eyeing off those bash guards for awhile now, but haven't committed just yet. I am holding off for now as I think once the bikes go on sale in North America in the new year, we will see some nice kit being produced by the Americans...they do aftermarket stuff so well. They might even do something about the mess hiding behind the guard. And yes, I am extremely fortunate to have the space I have at home. It's actually getting even better, with an excavator currently on-site building some mountain bike trails for me. Aiming for a small piece of two-wheel heaven!
