    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    After looking around more at Rocky Mountain's tire selection, I decided to take a shot at the Shinko sr241 trials tire in the 3.5x19 size. It just barely fits! As with the scorpion, it's significantly taller than the stock tire and with the 58 tooth sprocket, it feels about the same it did...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    Tires came today. The rear went on the rim with the bigger tube with no issues but it’s too wide and runs the chain. It’s also significantly taller so it’s very close to the swing arm as well. That being said, I think it can be made to work by spacing the sprocket out towards the swingarm and...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    I agree, they are for a full sized bike and look a little large. However, i'm willing to sacrifice some looks for not wrecking when the levers hit trees and finger protection.

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    I've got hyde racing engine guards/skid plates on my gas bikes and prefer them over aluminum. They are more durable and also to a better job of absorbing and distributing impact forces. Hopefully someone will make something similar for the sur-ron. I got home from travelling to some goodies...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    I haven’t had a chance to ride it anywhere but on my micro-track around my property. That being said, I can ride it at around the same pace as my gas bike (yz250). I doubt it will be able to make it up the climbs we usually do, and it will probably fall back pretty quick in the open stuff. While...

    As far as legalizing a sur-ron in the US, if your state doesn't require vehicles to be registered in state, you can register it in Vermont, all they require is a bill of sale or receipt. I believe there are other states (NV maybe?) that will do this also. Here in PA, they require vehicles to be...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    You will need to take off the plate with the ignition switch in order to access the plugs for the brake cut-off and headlight. On mine it was neccesary to remove the battery cover by pulling the c-clips with needle nose pliers that secure the pins it rotated on, then remove the pins and the...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    Whoa! Just out of curiosity, how long does the battery last with that amount of output? I did a few mods so far. Higher bars (old 1 1/8" moto bars, had to shim to get them to work), Cheapo hand guards and disconnected the brake cut-off switches. Thinking down the road, those switches could...

    Sur-Ron - New Mid drive Bike

    Like Enginepy, I also got mine yesterday that I had ordered from the pre-order sale. I'm a long time off-road dirt bike guy and was considering an Alta, but it's weight and range (an price!!!) gave me enough pause to be patient for a few more years until they are more in line with the gas bikes...
