NETRA Indian Ridge 2024 Hare Scramble Surron

11th in C-Open Class
4th race ever at 35, hare scrambles are the bomb
Goggles kept fogging and mud in eyes were the biggest slow downs
Finished 18.5 miles in 2:01:19 with 26% battery left
Go Pro died a little early
Hot 90F & Muggy
Surron Ultra Bee
Major Mods
- 82V 76aH 6.2kWh eBMX aftermarket battery
- KKE 18/21 Wheel Set (110/100-18 IRC VE33S rear tire, Tubliss F&R)
- Torp TC1000 Controller set to 20kW (26HP)
- KKE Performance Fork
- 53T Sprocket, O-ring chain
- Hand Guards, SXS Bash Skid Plate, etc.
IMO, the Ultra Bee is a really fun tight single track low maintenance dirt bike. Really good option to race single track after mods and not have tons of maintenance. ‪@electricisbetter‬ has won a few hare scrambles on stock power with a bigger battery, inspired me to try racing myself. Thanks dude

I have been looking into switching over to ebike pro ss from KTM 300. How do you like the EBike at the races? Is it worth the switch?

[@Tazdeviloo7]

The ebike pro SS is more like a SurRon Light Bee which is very light and fun, but not suitable for the type of racing a KTM 300 is good at. People seem most happy with upgraded Ultra Bees for Enduro type riding and Stark Vargs if you like bigger bikes.
I love my Ultra Bee for trail riding and hare scrambles. Low maintenance, hole shot killer, short wheel base nimble and ride anywhere quiet. The stock battery can't finish a 2 hour race though so factor in a $3700 battery upgrade if you want to do that. The aftermarket for the Ultra Bee is really good so you can tailor the bike to your needs which you'll probably want to do coming from a 300.

@@Tazdeviloo7 I feel like my 300 is way too much for me. As I am a novice rider. VetC class. Lucky if I hit top 50% place. I only do the netra harescambles when my kids race. I feel like I would have more fun on the eride pro ss.

@@Tazdeviloo7 what size battery you running in your ultra to finish the 2hr mark ? Pro ss comes stock with 72v 40ah I believe

@@DirtBikeFamily84 I'm running a 81V 76aH battery which has been fine in C-class for 2 hours. Based on what you said, I still recommend the Ultra Bee for NETRA. It's still a good bit lighter and easier to manage than a 300. The big difference vs an e-ride is that it uses good quality dirtbike parts instead of mountain bike parts so it can handle racing rocky trails. This video has some good detailed info on how it compares vs a KTM. ruclips.net/video/xIel7GN6Ezc/видео.htmlsi=Qi7yRUd3BGXpDoan
