Offroader said:Took my bike into Manhattan for the first time. I was worried about bringing this beast of a bike on my local ferry boat that I need to take in order to get into Manhattan. They do allow bikes and electric bikes, but the Sur-Ron is more like a motorcycle than an electric bicycle. Luckily they didn't give me any issues. This is good because I plan on commuting with the bike every so often to Times Square where my job is.
This bike is great for city riding. It turns very good with the smaller 19" wheels. It can also climb any stairs with ease and there are lots of stairs. You can ride up the longest stairs very easily with this bike. I climbed the stairs in the picture below a couple of times without any issues. You should see how the people react when you climb stairs with the bike, its like they have never seen a bike before climb stairs .
You can pretty much do what ever you want with the bike in Manhattan because the police will never bother you, its just too crowded a city for them to care.
Hands down this is a very good bike for having fun in an large urban city for doing urban assault riding, with lots of jumps to flat ground and stairs.
Some long stairs I climbed with the bike.
In many parts of the country, too, it is illegal to ride an electric car on a highwayn2mb said:Offroader said:Took my bike into Manhattan for the first time.

What? There were recent ebike crackdowns on delivery guys. They confiscated lots of ebikes in Manhattan...

Has anyone tried the cross reference the dimensions of the Sur-ron sprocket with a dirt bike sprocket like PD or JT?

crazy_dave said:Hey guys, thank you for the replies.
The way the bike sits now it defiantly needs to be re-geared for more torque. I am 190lbs and 90% of my riding will be off road. I need to be able to loft the front wheel up and over logs.
I have the latest version of the X controller, supposedly with the regen that I will be installing. Would the 55T be a good in-between gearing of the 52 to 58T?
Merlin said:offroader, on stock gearing i said that too. still stock (no X) but front lifts easy with 58T.
Sure, lack of Midrange Power and only 58kph Top Speed but Offroad its ok.
if that throttle on the stock controller wouldnt suck on smoothness i could wheelie it also.

Merlin said:not worth. go for 58T and install bigger rear tire. For offroad best choice.
Allex said:I have never had problems with lifting up the wheel with 52T at low speed. Especially easy off road!
The stock 48T is not fun at all, I admit.
New X controller, "V2" is sick! 90DC Amps and 450Phase. The difference is really there.
And when I drop in the 13p 30Q battery the bike is really wild compared to the stock pack due to low voltage sag.
Been doing 10 cycles with the belt now. The thing is so awesome! But still consider it as experiment.
Btw the stock o-ring chain is so fricking stiff. You can hardly bend it so you probably lose 50W alone because of those o-rings compared to the old chain.
Every one who tries it out just says - take my money! So I do the swap on the new bikes before the pickup.
