How Much Did I Save Building My Own Surron? $$$

  • I built my own Surron x starting with a cheaper electric motorcycle model the Segway x160. This is the same bike with smaller forks and tries plus a weaker battery. My first step was to buy a Surron X or X 260 battery then sell in smaller battery. Next I bought dual clamp forks and traded my 17" wheels for the 19s from a Surron X. Get every thing used and save some money! This was a super easy DIY. With a few wrenches and Allen keys you can build your own Surron.

    These are all Chinese sourced components that rebrand locally. Every seemingly specialized component? Yep; it’s a Chinese product. Search long enough and you will find a exact part or one better that is made in China. They are running a decade in advance of our EV understanding.

    I think if I could get a Segway x160, I'd be happy w/ that then I'd upgrade the parts over time whenever I save up enough.... I don't do much off-roading so it would be a street beast for me to get around town and not have to use gasoline, I'd probably look to set up a solar panel so I could charge the bike for free too, a completely emissions free transportation is a dream bike for me. 😁❤️

    I really want to get one of these for my Dad. He’s in his mid seventies and still riding a KLX 250 but I think this would be an awesome addition to his arsenal.

    The price of the Segway x160 has almost doubled. Pass

    Gas is expensive i have 3000 miles on mine (starting mid July last year) basically commuting. 20 miles per gallon ( Ford ranger) =150 gallons. 5$ per =$750 per year I didn't spend on fuel. I floor it to and from work 45mph for 11.5 miles and still have 55% battery left. Id be losing money and having less fun if i didnt get one last year.

    Great video!! Would be great to have a similar video on doing the 72v conversion as I'm looking to do the same to mine when it finally arrives

    Thank you for this - very informative. for someone intending to build a much upgraded surron x 72v/upgraded controller/supermoto tyres upgraded forks/brakes etc its a no brainer to start with the segway.

    Holy crap, did not realize the X160 controller can handle 60V (vs the 40V battery it comes with). You just saved me $200 and a drive!

    I believe the engine numbers are different on the 160 and light bee S in the newer model… just something to keep in mind not sure if the upgrade path is as vast power wise but probably not an issue. I would have loved a Red Ron! Though powder coating the frame is definitely something I’m going to be doing. Good to see an upload looking forward to the next one!!
