I hadn’t had a dirt bike in decades. Got on the Sur-Ron and kept wanting to push the rear brake foot lever. Didn’t even know I had remembered motocross bikes had foot brake levers. Took a while to get used to the Sur-Ron setup including the long reach from fingers to brake levers. Once I got used to it I just decided to stay with the setup. Great bike. Thanks for the video.
GReat video! I’m waiting on my new Sur Ron x from Luna right now! Such a difficult wait! Videos like yours make the wait a lot more bearable. So glad there’s a nice sized community of people upgrading and fixing these bikes and posting videos! Makes the jump into an electric bike seem more manageable. Thanks for the vid I’ll like and sub
Hey Matt one thing that’s easy to make and works well that could help if you ever mount a high front fender again is a small aluminum fender brace, I bet you could fab one up in no time if you ever go that route again. Take care and thanks for posting!
The front/rear brake setup is location based as well. In the UK I know most have the front brake on the right and rear on the left. I didn't know the Sur Ron followed that. When I get mine I'll definitely be swapping that over, good info.
I got mine yesterday and just tried it out today and it's a blast. Getting a more powerful battery/controller kit that'll make capable of hitting over 70mph lol. Definitely going to be a ton of fun!
Nice! Looks like you have the "medium" or "standard" mudhugger. Is it a bit longer than you need? I am wondering if I should get the "small" which is 80mm shorter than this one.
Hey! Great video. I’m planning on getting the saints, does the existing surron brake rotor work with it? Or will I have to get new ones? Would you suggest a magura mt5?
Matt that bike is really cool! Wow what a machine 👍 I would love to try one out sometime. Nice to see you got some amazon links to your upgrades in the description.
Can you determine what would be an equivalent cc gas motor to your electric bike? Is it even possible to make a fair comparison because of weight, etc. ?
@@Darkstar22177 that’s about where I put it. Had a two stroke KX 80 as a kid and felt the Sur-Ron was faster but not as fast as a friend’s YZ 125 I had ridden.
I’m pretty sure that sentence didn’t/doesn’t come with two contractions. Just in case this is a quiz, the correct answer is the second choice in both of our sentences... I think. 😉
Put it this way, it is the only one at this price point(under 4 grand), it has no competition, everybody else is priced at 15 grand all the way to 20 grand for the similar performance. No Competition, so none to compare worthiness :D Buy it cheap and you can upgrade every part of the darn thing at your leisure.
I'm glad you're having some fun and not just sitting around thinking about stoves.

it isnt and u shouldnt switch them
dude that bike is so cool

The reason the rear brake is on the right handle bar end is to allow the left hand free for hand signaling in traffic.🙋
Only if you drive on the wrong side of the road lol in the UK its always been front brakes on right same as a motorcycle, anyway cool bike
Will try your mudguards, thanks for the links
We need Sur-Ron with at least 30% more power and range , name it Su-Ron XT with battery 74V 60Ah , current model is good for 70kg / 150 LBS rider only
Truth!
Then it would be a 10 grand bike, at that price I'm going for a different EV MX brand :D
If I have a wild animal hunting me like that I would need a Sur-roon to get away from it, that thing looks ferocious
Love hearing your throughts opinion of the bike too

Nice⚡bike great upgrades 👍i was watching the primary chain upgrade looks good too.Ride safe😃

all you need now is a nucular 24f controller and a 72v gladiator battery... to create Satans mountain bike
its lovely
In the UK & other countries the rear brake on their bicycles is on the left as it should be
And if you want to drive and give hand signals?
@@talonjuel4021 Well I only ride off-road myself. I guess use your front brake and or do most of your braking before you signal and after.
Nice!
I ordered the same pegs but I'm having trouble getting the springs to work. Any suggestions?
That's cool man.
Is there a reliable way to make it tubeless or is there a tubeless rim/wheel set that'll fit the sur ron?
Can you determine what would be an equivalent cc gas motor to your electric bike? Is it even possible to make a fair comparison because of weight, etc. ?
According to other Sur Ron owners, I found that it's comparable to 80cc-100cc motors

What is the difference between the bee and the light bee and the black edition?
Is there a way to get pegs that are lower? Do you know if they exist for sur ron or what I could search to look for myself?
Changed the tyres to get more grip and lost 10mph
Did you add that front fork too? Im pretty sure they didn't/don't come with the Rock Shox Boxxer.
I’m pretty sure that sentence didn’t/doesn’t come with two contractions. Just in case this is a quiz, the correct answer is the second choice in both of our sentences... I think. 😉
There are something like 4 different fork variations for Sur Rons, depending on when you got it, and who you got it from.
Any seat upgrade ideas?
YOU HAVE YOUR LEVERS THE WRONG WAY AROUND SAYS A MAN FROM THE UK LOL
Stay on your side of the road bro! Lol jk
Good video, cheesy as hell but some decent info 👍
What was the model number for the Pro Taper bars? Thanks
They are the Woods Hi, you can find them in either EVO or contour, both should work. Here's a link: amzn.to/2KqOSxp
😎👍
What was that sound at 7:50?
That is just your cheap China made speaker, no one else heard what you heard.............
Looks like his neck covered the mic. Your speaker is fine. Lol
Is this bike worth it

@@mannyechaluce3814 Any suggestions on manufacturers?
