Man, your videos are too much fun to watch. You inspired me to buy one and I regret NOTHING! Thanks for making such great content, always. Hope to ride together some day!
Awesome ride, dude! Just took delivery of my Surron X last week and it's a beast for sure! Would love to get the opportunity some day to e-shred with ya!
Oh cool, I'm so glad you've gone ASI BAC8000! I bet that rips.. 💯🔥 I've just built my first 1600w bbshd mid drive, 52v 34ah on slightly tweaked controller. Future upgrades consist of ASI BAC885 3000w and 72v! 👀🤣 I wish I had a Ron to play with, I just have a single speed commuter bike that does 40+mph 😂😂
@@EdwinOlding it does the job! Loving the electric bikes and watching you progress. Keep it up man! Any word on when we gonna see progress on the electric tank for Grind Hard? That thing is gonna be insane. 💯😂
@@ReynoldsThemeparkAdventures We got some bad information involving the power of the battery pack so we are currently rethinking the project. But we will be doing an announcement about it soon! Do you still want to make it electric we just might need some help to make it all function right

@@roboquaid You think it will take that long? sadface. I see some Chinese e-bike manufacturers have made graphene batteries already though, but i don't know how legit it is.

Interested in your thoughts on the wheels and suspension upgrades. Your riding style is a lot like ours out here and the stock wheel size, stock tires, stock suspension beat me up. Hard. I’m torn between upgrading and going back to a ‘real’ woods bike.
I've been wondering about the custom controller and battery ability in water. I'd like to just start out bypassing the stock battery + bac 4000 but if the custom controller can't handle getting dunked in a water crossing then idk.
Would 62ah 60v go further than 45ah 72v if set at same watts ?? Obviously il be going 10/15% slower than the 72v but I’m more interested in range , Thanks
With no clutch and the suspension being more mountain bike do you find it more difficult on hard enduro type rides? Or would you say it’s just as capable once you get a feel for the bike ?
@@EdwinOlding got the same one, 2015. But its way to soft, bottoms out all the time, Thats why i want to know what kindbof coil spring u ride in this fork
My only question Is it loud enough to scare away wildlife? Im.scared of hitting a dear in a tight turn or something meaner like a.bear. its the only reason I still dont own a sur ron. Lots of wildlife where i live. What do you think?
It is nice for viewing wildlife as you can get close but so far I haven’t come too close. Also they get alot louder with the primary chain conversion. Have been too close for comfort with a skunk though.
Just wandering how fast? I ended up ordering the cheaper battery charger from litespeed for the 72v/bac8000 and waiting. I want to inquire on my purchase but you said 2-3 months so I guess I will wait.
Where should I take this bike next? I want to see how waterproof it is!
Did you take it to the east coast??
@@lucastruesdale9004 I didn’t! I should take it to the Oregon coast though!
Niagra falls 😎
Colorado! So we can hangout 😄
@@Max_Ufc no joke me too!!
Had an epic time on this ride!
Yewww

Epic ride man! The 72v Sur-Ron looks insane
It is so much fun!
Ronnie steals the show!
Every time!

Are you near North Idaho?
@@EdwinOlding Denver! But hey, might be worth a trek up North at some point
@@MikesBikeLife Yo, come up to Buena Vista some time and let's get some!
SICK RIDE OUT!!!
Thanks!

I’ll be looking!
hoping for solid state/graphene batteries to become available for these when that tech is ready for market.
That would be amazing!
2026+ few years yet but I can't wait either

You mentioned going through 3 batteries …..did you recharge 3 times?
man i want one of these bikes so bad but strapped on cash. your videos tame me in the meantime
Beautiful place to ride 🤩
excellet!!!electric star!!!!
Thanks!
Sick riding man!

yooo you guys dont fuck around! awesome video
We know how to have a good time!
looks so fun
It really is!
Would like to know about all the mods and up grades. Range etc.
How many minutes of trail riding can you get out of the battery?
Considering that your bike weighs less than a kx65 for kids, it is really awesome.
Edwin, can you tell us roughly how long or how far each charge lasted as per this video?

Wow! It's official: ebikes can legit ride with dirt bikes! I can hardly believe it! Ill need to trade in my dirt bike soon
I built e bike can! A stock Surron could not
@@EdwinOlding dude that's awesome! I wish I could ride with you! Where are you?
@@quintinlarson9499 I'm not Edwin, yet, but if you are in Colorado lets do some E-Shredding together!
Warp9 makes beefier rear suspension components for the sur ron... maybe next upgrade?
Good times!!
We need to go riding again ASAP
I am so down!
This one Reason why I wanted to live in America or Canada or something here in India everything is just too dangerous
Are u going to do a video showing your actual upgrades?
I will very soon!
how tall are u and how much weight?
What size sprocket do you use?
Would 62ah 60v go further than 45ah 72v if set at same watts ?? Obviously il be going 10/15% slower than the 72v but I’m more interested in range , Thanks
Hi , what’s the range on that ?
How do you charge these batteries?
Excellent
Yewww
What size dirtbike would you compare the power to when climbing hills?
amazing adventure!
It was a blast
where can i get this electric motor, how much does this bike cost?
Edwin can you tell me if persons that are 185 cm are to big for the bike??
Did you return to the car to change the battery twice?
We were riding close to my parents place so I charged their
rippinnnnn
like riding on the streets of Detroit..
With no clutch and the suspension being more mountain bike do you find it more difficult on hard enduro type rides? Or would you say it’s just as capable once you get a feel for the bike ?
I’m in Britain and would like to spec the bike I get like you have. Any ideas as to how I’d source stuff?
I will do a video showing every part soon!
Are you running the stock skid plate? Is it holding up well?
Is it me or did Edwin's riding get better since he started wheelies
I definitely feel like it helped me with my over all bike control! Still learning!
@@EdwinOlding it was like that on my mtb to and i can get into knee knock and seat stand but did not land it yet
What coil do you have in your fox 40?
Stock 2014
The newest ones are better but very hard to find!

Are you back on the stock 48T sprocket? (Looking at the cover photo)
58 tooth at the moment! In this video I was geared a bit too high at 54
@@EdwinOlding ah cool, thanks! I put a 54T on mine before I ever even rode it so I don't know anything else :)
How long did you have to wait for lightspeed battery and controller to come?
About 2 or 3 months
Edwin I just got my Surron today. What is your opinion on the motors ability to handle the power of the 72V battery?
It handles it no problem!
How was the range?, heard you say 3rd battery, charged it 3X?
Yeah I did they charge fast! I Just need one more part for the bike to be finished and then I will do it official range test
Just wandering how fast? I ended up ordering the cheaper battery charger from litespeed for the 72v/bac8000 and waiting. I want to inquire on my purchase but you said 2-3 months so I guess I will wait.
I think I threw my hip out just watching.
You should make a video about the egg rider please 😁
I will absolutely!
Sick video Edwin! Hey, I'd love to see you post these videos and GHPC vids on Odysee too. Seems right up your alley with your interest in crypto
I will look into that for sure!
Please help... I wanna buy a bike now
What do you need help with?
If only someone in Europe sourced the 72v batteries (apart from UK)
I have heard shipping batteries is a nightmare
