Noticed my headset moving on my last ride, so that's next on the list too.

I agree a good upgrade is a sealed headset, but it sounds like you just need to tighten it.

the light bikes are great but the market will demand all sizes.. some video on facebook of it motocross track riding, well beyond the small bike capabilities.. 90volts, 20kw and a chassis built to handle hard enduro and motocross jumps.. I'm sold! I haven't found anything that I can't climb with my...

2-3w LED...that will be alot of "Overnights"

Yeah, should drain it after a month!

Apparently Luna is now shipping their Black Edition with Rockshox Boxxer Debonair:

I would only build something if I was improving on the design, so that is different. Uhhh isn't converting an IC to electric improving the design? :roll: I mean building something like a frame or modifying a frame, building a battery. Since you are rich you could just hire someone to build a batter...

You can't buy an electric KTM in a 125 size. :wink: But people are enjoying building them and ultimately have a superior vehicle to the Sur Ron. Besides, hobbies aren't necessary meant to be more productive than working. They are often pursued for the enjoyment of the endeavor and rewarded in non-mo...

Some people enjoy working on things. It's often what they like to do when not working. Think it's like a hobby or something. True you can just buy something, but often it is more rewarding to build something yourself. An added bonus is you might get what you want from the beginning without complaini...

Used gas bikes can be found for cheap yes thats for sure, but if you wanna convert one you certainly have to design and fabricate many customs parts like a mounting bracket for the motor, battery case, CNC parts etc. Build a battery, do the wiring (BMS) and everything. Then there is the question: w...

I do not consider the Sur-Ron to be anywhere near the same class as 250's. That is a whole different beast of a bike. KTM has its own electric dirt bike out that has a ridiculously good motor but it is more of a 125cc in size, I was just using a 250 as an example. Plenty of 80's, 125's etc. being c...

Well after 4 days of reading throught this thread i bought a Sur Ron from Luna in LA.

Looks like some good fun on those trails. Congrats, and enjoy!

There is absolutely no reason anymore to build ebikes for the most part, you will never match the quality of the Sur-Ron. The same reason you don't see anyone building dirt bikes, or building mountain bikes, finally got around to Ebikes. You will almost never match the quality of a properly built m...

And 'if you are skeptical' of my affiliation with Luna By the way, the definition of affiliation is: (1) to bring into close association or connection Since you were a Luna moderator, on Luna's first Sur Ron "podcast", have personal pictures of a factory tour including Eric et al, let them use your...

Since Iam from Europe I have nothing to do with Luna and his oversea stuff. But this hair loving guy disqualified himself in his podcast asking the surron guys why they don't used bicycle chains.... Yeah, that was seriously stupid and insulting; belittling Sur Ron's engineering expertise by someone...

Yep I 'was' one of the moderators for the Private FB Sur Ron Group. I was simply a member there and they asked me to be a moderator. I deactivated my FB account because I hate FB's business practices. And 'if you are skeptical' of my affiliation with Luna because I was asked to be on their podcast ...

I was surprised and honored when WebBikeWorld asked me to write an article about my own long term use of the Sur Ron. https://www.webbikeworld.com/sur-ron-light-bee-review/ WBW My Article.JPG Sorry for asking, but aren't you the photographer who also owns a blog? I think I saw your name already som...

What pressures are you guys running in the stock tires for trail riding? My trails are a bit rocky and high speed so I'm around 23 rear, 21 front to avoid pinch flats and squirming. I want to try lower but worried about impacts. I run around 12psi. With the FOC X Controller, it was tearing the valv...

This bike is so damn good now after I upgraded my brakes.

What brakes did you choose?

Same brakes I'm running: Shimano Saint M820s. Looks like we both have the Ice Tech rotors up front too.

Adding to what Natas said, an 18 MC rim, even if its a 1.85 x 18 is rim, is way bigger than the standard 1.4 or 1.6 wide 19 inch rims in terms of weight. 18x19 Bomber.jpg In this picture of Bomber 143, I have an 18 x 1.85 rim on the rear with a 19x1.4 rim up front. I am running a 2.75-19 SR241 shin...

What rear tire is that? Looks awesome. “yuanxing”3.5*17 from china Anyone know where we can we get a 17" wheel for the Sur Ron? Josh from motoped and surron forums has been building motobike and ebike wheels for a few years and now, located in Maine.. : https://facebook.com/groups/1142909482389709?...

New special edition LB X-series announced:

Seems like the main difference is it comes with a 200mm BoXXer Debonair Rock Shox fork.
