I put some Shinko 241 tires on mine and it made a really big difference riding on pavement. I highly recommend installing a pair because the stock tires kinda suck lol The 241s handle good in the trails too. The next thing I plan to do is some warp 9 pegs, 3 inch riser bars and a direct mount stem. Really loving this bike so far.
@@mikewoodard2409 You can find the tires pretty cheap online. Get yourself a set of tire spoons if you plan to do it yourself and a extra set of tubes in case you pinch one of the tubes while putting them on. Charged cycle works has a good video on how to install them. It's very easy if you follow the steps.
The 241 look good, I wish they made them for regular 20x4 inch fat tire ebikes. Maybe they do, but literally every tire dealership and partner sub companies, do not have them in 110/70/16. They have the 244, but not the 241, and the straight rows of knobbies compared to the bubble knobbies is a difference I won't commit too lol. I would rather get the Sr 546 or whatever they are. I ride street mainly anyway.
Best way I found to take the axle out was to just loosen the axle nut a bit and gently tap with mallet to begin pushing it out the other side. Once it's protruding the other side just grab and yank. Also you should grease the axles.
Alibaba, i ordered one last week. 2700 for light bee with shipping all the way to sweden the total cost is 3300 usd although shippping time is 55 days but whatever good price. it retails for 6000 usd here so
I paid $4900 out the door for mine. I think I made a decent buy. But I’m so stoked and so addicted to it! Couple buddies and I are going trail riding tomorrow
I believe that buying a Talaria MX4 and the best controller and it will be as fast as the E Ride pro. The big plus for me is the Talaria has a gear box which is so much better than the primary belt drive of the E Ride. The Talaria Boys did this. They got an E Ride Pro and an stock Talaria MX4 ($4200) and added the best controller ($999)to the stock talaria MX 4 and they were just about the same for a couple of thousand less then the E ride pro
I wanted to put BMX pedals on my Eride too😂 I thought I was the only one it one lol. Also those foam cardboard box things that you don’t know what they are for…it’s for a bike stand you stand them on top of each other on the ground and put the rest the bike on top of it as a stand that put the bike together
To share my enthusiasm for the ERide Pro, Surron, and Talaria community, the ERide Pro SS would be my long term investment than spending so much on upgrades for a Surron Light Bee X to get it up to the power that a Pro SS costs right out of the box. As you discovered, the cost of the Pro SS being what it is, is due to the more powerful controller and the 72V high Amp Hour battery. The unfortunate part is b/c of how much it cost to self maintenance/replace is why I built 2 DYI e-bikes, one being a Norco VPS Shore 3 Mid Drive (1000 Watt 52V) and another which I'm replacing is a Hub drive at 3000 Watts with a 72V battery which is also on a Norco VPS Atomik which is mostly cost friendly. But I'm filled with joy how much fun you're getting out the Pro SS.
You can bring a few zip ties with you on your next ride to secure cables to chase down some of the rattles/noises. You also might want to bring a pair of dikes or cutters to cut off the excess tail end of the zip tie. Nice video, nice bike. I'm new to e-bikes. I've been researching and thinking of buying an e-bike but the motorhead in me wants to build one, buy a high quality used mountain bike and turn it into a mid drive e-bike.
Paying to have it professionally, assembled. Sometimes it's well worth it. I'm a e bike mechanic. when I assemble a bike I go through every single nut, bolt and make sure everything is perfect. Believe me, it's not perfect.When it leaves the factory. I remember a while back. I purchased a triple x from Luna. Assembled, and it was way out of whack. I had to go over the entire bike a lot of airs.And improperly assembled
28:14 that’s an Australian Shepard brother. I had a border collie for 15 years she passed last summer. Wanted to get a bike to let her ride in one before she died but no such luck. Definitely gonna name my first bike after her tho - love your style - rip my gang member lil Polly
I think it's worth it for that price. Look at the Zero motorcycles. There's all kinds of E motorcycles in the 7 and $8,000 range that don't have this performance and lightweight.
I think the e ride pro manufactures here in America I think. I just bought mine from placentia but I’m not too sure. I’m excited for it to come in though!
I've been thinking about getting an e-dirt bike. I am a mountain biker and last year bought a Specialized Turbo Levo Expert. MSRP on that bike is $10,000 but I got a deal because I bought one for me and one for the wife. I spent another $4000 on upgrades like wheelset, brakes, carbon bars and such. So looking at $5200 for one seems like a deal to me. Whatever I buy, I have to get 2 because my wife rides too. I'm thinking of getting my wife a Surron light bee and I'll get the Ultra Bee. She likes the smaller light bee. I want something more like a dirt bike. I think the Ultra Bee is as close to a real dirt bike you can get.
@@JR-gs6qj I was considering one of those too, but it's double the Ultra Bee. I already have expensive EMTBs and since I never rode moto before, it would be more of a side hobby. My main thing is mountain bikes. I got about $50k in mountain bikes between my wife and I. It would be hard to get her on board with another $12k toy 😅 plus I have to buy one for her too.
@@JubeProductions 😂that a fair shout tbh that stark is spenny especially if have to buy 2 also 😂! My girl is already raising her eyebrows at me! Currently have r6, bmw s1000rr and E-MTB, I just bought a e-ride😂 suppose lucky thing for me is I don’t have to buy twice as she not interested! I went with e-ride as get away with a lot more on streets as the stark looks like a monster! They ain’t great trails where I am!
Not sure if you do it already or if it’s possible but talk with an accountant to see if buying the bikes could be a write off, I know other channels who focus on a certain product etc are able to write their stuff off because of some loopholes so it’s something to consider imo
I’m fairly surprised these e bikes don’t need torque specs, for example the shock, bar clamp, brake levers. What has me skeptical is the Chinese metal, it’s always been weak with the casting but maybe it’s not an issue because nobody has had a problem.
Great video brother....I just got into electric bikes,cuz I'm tired of police taking my dirt bikes ... Saturday I bought a Stealth Bomber 72v 5000 watts and man I'm in love....idk why I didn't get one sooner...yes I know to expensive 😂😂😂 i paid $1,600 for mine ...I got lucky man....
you're paying 3 phase AC prices for 3 phase DC with a lot of these. They all try to get away with low kWh:kg cheap batteries too. Won't even go in to body QA.. I want 30+ kW that gets at least 80 miles without being heavy
1st time watching your channel. I really like this E-Dirt Bike..I just recently got a Apollo RFN Ares Rally Pro. My adventure is the same as yours..i absolutely love it...Enjoy and be safe...
Hello!!!! Im from Spain and I didnt understood correctly some things such as the art of the pegs and the display , do both of them come with the bike or you have to buy them separately? And are they expensive?
The reason it’s hard to remove the front axel is because the forks are uneven you need to do it with the straps on or release air pressure on the forks and then add some air ! Damaged one completely 💀
Love watch you ride in my old stomping grounds. I stage managed at Novo and also worked at the Shrine which you ripped by on the other video. Bout to grab one of these.
Hey to everybody in the comments I have to ask, long time mtber enduro, bit of downhill, about to start a new two stroke build. Is there anyone on here with experience on both? is gas still where its at as far all out performance or are these new big motor e-bikes comparable ive driven a few race ready 2 and 4 strokes that just tear it up but I have yet to try one off these, thanks ciao.
No that I've got my Sur Ron completely built 72V and a Torp controller, they build a bike all READY TO GO for you. Looks like ill snag one of these and the girl gets the SUR RON :)
We're can you get the suron for that cheap would love to get a e bike but there still just to expensive so let me know we're to get a bike for the price you were saying
John keep up the hard work!! I entered the give away bought the 309 entries I might buy more! It would be crazy if I won. It would be 2 days before my bday 😮
I’m not as skinny as you are I weigh 240 and much more athletic so I think I’ll have no problem handling this bike its cool thanks for the info on assembly

Like any new bike, you'll need to retorque every nut and bolt to spec and adjust the brake calipers after your first ride.
I'm 53 years old and im about to get one oh don't tell my wife.😁😁😁😁
Me tooo... 😂
I ordered Phantom Purple 👻
Dog you gonna ride that thing like twice
Hey sometime you just have to have that one toy that will put you in that happy place 😂😂😂😂
Same....lol
I am one of those people. Thank you for unboxing it again. 👍
same here😁
Have the Sur Ron for 10k miles the worst part of them is the belt will break. Not if but when if you keep it long enough. Talaria really did it right
How many miles would you recommend to change it?, so you can prevent getting stuck out on a ride.
Rather have to change a belt every thousand of miles then a oil change
@@F83.M4 when you have on you or deep in the woods the simple oil change is much better.
what talaria you have ?
You should tie those cables up 👍🏾
Love how humble and down to earth you are. You deserve all the success bro keep up the great work love the vids.
Ultra Bee for less!!??? Where!? Cause around here, an Ultra Bee will cost you $8000 easily. An LBX will cost $4500-5000.
@tattookaleo that's what I want to know too bri
I feel like he didn’t mean to say ultra bee they’re like 65 Hundo this bike is like 5
Alibaba but it's a risk and takes months. I've seen reviews where the Vin is etched out
Your gonna need a storage for your bikes soon 😂 congrats!

How do you get brand new surrons for 3k ?

Alibaba, i ordered one last week.
2700 for light bee
with shipping all the way to sweden
the total cost is 3300 usd
although shippping time is 55 days
but whatever
good price.
it retails for 6000 usd here so
What’s a reliable shipping agent for a 3k surron ?
@@elrutoniii send the link to the store please
@@bernardo9202 I just got mine 2 weeks ago. PERFECT 10/10 Original surron. works PERFECT. cheap as fuck. really worth.

Also those foam cardboard box things that you don’t know what they are for…it’s for a bike stand you stand them on top of each other on the ground and put the rest the bike on top of it as a stand that put the bike together
Where do you buy a surron for 3k? Please and thank you
You can’t, he’s baiting. There’s no such Sur-Ron for 3k. He was called out on the last video for the link and he ignored lots of posts.
Oh thank you
you can if you buy it directly from china instead of from resellers
Maybe not 3k but 3500-4000 on marketplace all day
It depends on what bike shop you go to. I know my best friend. Talk the guy down to 3K so it’s possible.
Eco on the surron is great for ice and slick mud, and helps cornering stability at high speeds from the reduced regen
Curious to where you get a light bee x for 3k, got any links by any chance? been looking to pick one up.
Same lmk if you find one bro
Alibaba but it's a risk
The E Ride Pro is unbeatable! Welcome to the E Ride Pro club!!!
is the quality good? im worried about quality control

One man of certain calibre, unboxed it very well by himself today 😳
Yo I love the music under your explanation part in de beginning. It makes it so much more pleasant to listen.
Good improvement hix ✌🏼
Those carboard boxes that come in the bike are meant to hold the bike up while installing it. The one that is shaped like a stand is meant for that!
How do you get a surron light bee for 3000$ in Bulgaria where i live a light bee is 5000$ 😢
alright mine arrived today, def used your method to put the front tire on!!! Thanks for the tip bro

Should i buy this or a surron?
front brake lines, you need to tie them down or they will rub the tire and bleed out
nice to see your buzzing with the new bike
