58 mine.jpg (446.75 KiB) Viewed 194 times Funny we had this conversation two years ago, back on page 86,87 of the thread. I'd love to see that Sur-ron Timbersled Ripper riding in a video. Could be more fun than we think. I know my local motoshop has the older Ripper 93 version for $1k, which would ...

After recent testing of the Storm bee we have much better knowledge of the product and it’s likely production timeline. There is no point in teasing potential customers unnecessarily My big question is pricing, not too worried about time. If the boom bee ends up being $8500 USD, I will pass. The li...

Luna states Also we will support the product from here in the USA getting you any warranty replacement parts you might need shipped direct from California Don't know what that actually means, but I didn't get any of the above parts under warranty the first year that they broke. Honestly, didn't expe...

So, where else can we buy it and get warranty with support? So far no one else has announced anything, not even Luna. As an American buyer, we get absolutely zero warranty anyway. My light bee, had front forks replaced, charger broke and mangled headset in one year. Luna said, oh well, we can sell y...

Jeisute sells the light bee and I think someone here was going to buy from them. Can't vouch for them either legit or not. Just interesting to finally see a price. I emailed them and will update if I get any response.

Here's the link:

You beat me on posting this. Need to search for Boom bee, not Storm bee. Found it - $5390 with $1300 shipping to the US. Total of $6690. Looks like 10% discount if bought before January 15, 2020. Sales start in February, don't know if that means will ship by then or what. https://www.alibaba.com/pro...

Found it, but price has changed - $5390 with $1300 shipping to the US. Total of $6690. Looks like 10% discount if bought before January 15, 2020. Sales start in February, don't know if that means will ship by then or what. https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Sur-Ron-Boom-Bee-Green-Power_623882568...

jAzfnszBao4 https://www.facebook.com/lowentech/videos/554411672078756/ Sorry if this is a repost. First backflip I have seen on the Surron. Seems like they are using custom controller, Fox 40 suspension. Sweet riding. I would have thought more kids would be doing similar stuff by now - good to fina...

Seriously, fake news. Americans will wait an hour in line for a free taco, maybe two hours for a slurpee. How long would Hill hater stand in line? How long would Americans wait in line for a free tank of gas? How long did people wait when they did that throwback day with gas at $0.50? You wouldn't w...

Thanks for the post! $7k will be a decent price for this bike, $5k would still be better. This will be hard to ship, are they going to set up a dealer network or how they doing this?
Found this from the above post. Why do people still video in portrait, c'mon?!???

If the chart on Surron pro is true, why would they still be using 60v? Especially if it's going to hit 90kph(55mph).
Oh well, something else to wait for. Always something around the corner.

I was hoping/wishing for $5-6k USD. Probably not going to happen. Can get used Alta for $7.5 which is still going for a premium for a defunct manufacturer. Wish I could have picked up a bankruptcy edition where I heard the Alta was selling for $5k. If the light bee is $3.5k at a third of the cost, I...

The other thing is smaller 17" wheels with the x160 and single crown fork. Charger, sprocket and chain will also be different. You might want to upgrade everything and have it be cheaper, but you need to compare to the $5k Segway version. They released rehashed info on the Storm bee today, but no pr...

Marketing gimmicks aside, I read 3000$ for the X160 and 4500$ for the X260, and additional discount for preorders. This fact alone will put Luna monopoly in sever danger. I guess Chinese people don't care too much about loyalty: when the big fish shows up asking for 10k+ units, they will be more th...

Also, replaced the headset on my Sur-ron with the Cane Creek version. Much better. Hope it will last a few years. I replaced the headset myself, so who knows about that! Nice to be out riding again.

Saw this over on Electrek. Looks like Segway is selling a rebranded version of the light bee. https://electrek.co/2019/11/05/segway-unveils-electric-dirt-bike-sur-ron/#disqus_thread https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2019/11/segway-dirt-bike-header.jpg?resize=2500%2C0&quality=8...

Here's a picture of the other side from the Alta forum. Says they got it from surron Facebook page.

Thanks for trying! Mine's the original version, couple pages back. The newer ones look much better inside! Did they try to waterproof them?

Yes. It's on the AC side. Yes it's the original Kingpan version charger. I'll probably end up getting another charger at some point, but why throw away one that just needs a five dollar part replaced?
If it's just spark prevention I'm okay with that. My 72v lipo had much scarier sparks!

:bigthumb: Thanks! At least I know I won't be doing damage to the battery or anything. Works fine shorted out. I have already spent enough this year on the bike with new forks and Saint brake pads. I don't need another $150 charger. Noticed my headset moving on my last ride, so that's next on the li...

We need to know what it was. Kinda crispy to see a number. Need a good one to look at. Can you tell if that was on the input side or the output side? There's two nts thermistors that broke and fired up. Obviously can't get any numbers now. I know Holmes hobbies did a video about turning down the am...

Woke up to this from my charger. Can I short this to do a quick charge? Can I buy these anywhere and solder them or should I just buy a new charger?
Thanks for any help!

Yeah, wind is great when its blowing. I've wasted years of my life waiting for the wind kiteboarding. Now, I can ride anytime I want. My efoil cost $4500. Probably close to what your board and sails cost. :wink: Hopefully the boards will get cheaper in the future. No way they should cost $12000. Mot...
