And you will never stall the motor on an electric.
Jasonjm said:so what is it like riding this thing on single track trails vs a 250cc?
obviously the 250cc has more power, more top end, and is an all around bigger bike, with a much larger rear tire.
but what about manouverability? is the sur ron at 100lbs much easier to manouver on trail? like for ruts, downhill sections etc?
what about grip? is the sur ron harder or easier for steep climbs vs a 250cc?
Offroader said:You really can't compare it to a 250cc dirt bike. As some have even commented on this before saying the sur ron was inadequate for them and a 250cc would have probably been fine for them.

Jasonjm said:does that X controller on the sur ron have regen braking? or only the asi 4000 ones?
reading mixed things about X controller regen braking....
regen breaking (or engine braking) is great for downhill sections on bikes, so i definitely need that.

DNM is better than the RST. That said, if you want some really good suspension, plan on a fork upgrade.smr310 said:Any recommendation for which forks to get from Luna?
I think I'm probably going to pull the trigger on one of these in the near future. I was looking at Luna Cycles site and it looks like they are offering two different fork options for the Surron X:
"New DNM Volcano DNM USD-8S Spring Fork (except orange colored bike which has a RST)"
Any recommendations for which one to go with? Also -- I'm a motorcycle rider and will be riding the Sur Ron in tight technical single track.

sur-ron suspension is really good and I don't see any reason to upgrade any of it.
