Jasonjm said:i didn't, i made a deal, asked them to give me a better price with a 2nd battery included.
they dont know how many kwh the batteries will be, and they dont know what forks / suspension will be installed
talk about ordering in the dark lol
Jasonjm said:well I guess I will be the forum guinea pig. I am busy placing an order on the alibaba thing. Storm bee + extra 2nd battery + shipping to los angeles for $8000
btw I already own one sur ron, to get a sur ron up to spec for real abuse and a 2nd battery is more than $8000
Jasonjm said:ah well, now its a lost cause lol
ill just keep riding my 300 until these specs are ironed out and someone official sells it
i really really wish honda would release a their electric prototype erex so a tier 1 manufacturer would have an electric bike
That's what I did. I still have my 300xc along with a nicely modified Light Bee. I only use the 300 for really long rides. There are certain types of shorter trails where the 300's suspension and size would make it faster than the Light Bee but I have more fun on the much lighter, slightly slower bike.Jasonjm said:i rode the KTM freeride (in italy)
I liked it, a lot. Its not quite a full size bike, but a lot bigger and a lot more sturdy than the surron light bee.
but the bike with 2 batteries is like $15 000 if I remember.
irony is that the surron light bee when driven on technical trails with the X controller will probably be just as fast or close to the freeride and I reckon will outlast the freeride in distance.
maybe the solution is as follows: keep my 300 gas bike for more open / long distance non crazy trail riding. Get a surron light bee with the 88v battery pack whenever luna makes it, put in a 60T and use that for technical trail riding. Kind of the best of both worlds. I have to admit that super low weight on the surron light bee is really convenient.
You can get yours today for only $3,999, taking $500 off MSRP. By paying the full amount up front, you cut the line and get delivery faster than pre-ordering.

Jasonjm said:why cant luna just get that hotrod battery kit upgrade thing going? and make a real ready to go bike, with proper forks, proper shock, proper wheels. proper tires, etc etc, seems like such a lost opportunity.
Jasonjm said:probably better that segway is getting involved, luna just doesnt inspire confidence. have you ever called their office to get that terrible message on the machine that sounds like it was recorded in 1982.... just bad
Merlin said:The new Surron has VTC6. So if same qulity of Battery build comes here into play the stock storm bee battery will pretty good as well.
