My comment was written in a humorous tone, so I'm sorry if you took it too much seriously, as of course there good and bad examples of companies behaviour in every country. In that case, I think it would have been better if you had written “Sur Ron” in place of “Chinese people”. :wink: Also I'm not...

here's another segway prototype mobility device;) https://scontent.fric1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15/q65/72872836_10157736251153899_6961051086597652480_n.jpg?_nc_cat=111&efg=eyJpIjoidCJ9&_nc_oc=AQndyjnMPrqTltNgaZqBcok0q5SV4RGWOrz1l3fdnwybPbhRAob3AxkYJvik0JmZ0jbBDLPoi2Ay0PrxIGMtAyu_&...

bigger picture is breaking out of exclusive usa distribution channel.. segway is a global ev brand.. luna, not so much.. so this is more great news to get the masses riding EVs.. Good point. here's another segway prototype mobility device;) https://scontent.fric1-1.fna.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/fr/cp0/e15...

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...

Sur Ron is actually in our ecosystem. We’re the largest shareholder of Sur Ron. Unless they have a controlling share (> 50%) they are just a shareholder - doesn't make Sur Ron their company anymore than owing two shares of TSLA puts Tesla in "my ecosystem". All they could do is threaten t...

Interesting find dirk. Will be curious to see what the final prices / specs are on Segway versions of the Sur Ron. They list the x260 version with a 74 mile range! That'd be double what I'm averaging on my Sur Ron. If that's accurate I'll be buying at least a battery from Segway if not a whole bike...

In a hare scrambles you do laps. A 30 second battery swap 1/2 way would help your overall time a lot. Yeah, good call on a battery swap. I would do stuff like this guy but it's kind of lame with 5 hp going that slow. I think one of the reasons why he placed second is because with such tight trails ...

Sur Ron takes 2nd place in a Hare Scramble. Looks like he would have taken 1st with a bit more juice.

i think you making a mistake. the sur ron is almost too light for some obstacles, it has barely enough weight to plough throw stuff, it gets defelcted way more easily than a full moto bike. once you make it weigh less, especally in the wheels, it is going to deflect off everything, plough through n...

any of you get the feeling that the storm bee might be more capable for sand, hill climbs, and open areas, or mx tracks. but in technical singletrack? I have not ridden anything nearly as fun as the sur ron light bee in singletrack, its about as fun as my DH mountain bike was for that on the down, ...

tubliss - not tube less... its a specific product that lets you run 0 psi (it uses a small 100psi inner tube to give a bead seal) Ah - gotcha - neat-o. But I think I'll stick with an actual tubeless setup - I really don't need to run lower than 12psi, and I could probably run at 6psi if I wanted...

Havent done it yet but ill be using tubliss - atleast on the rear tire. Works great on my stealth, and lets you run whatever pressure you want (even 0psi). It's a bit heavy compared to thin tubes and requires some modification to fit the narrower rims but well worth it imo. You can't run 0 psi tube...

Can you go tubeless with stock tyres or need to change them?

I didn't use the stock tires, but I see no reason why they wouldn't work.

Ok I ordered all the parts for tubeless except maybe for the strap. I'm a bit confused what the strap is for anyways? I ordered a strap but not sure if it will work like one suggested Part that confuses me the most is how am I going to get air in the tire fast enough to make it seal? Without a tube...

Help please. I ride my sur Ron really hard and I'm having issues with tube slipping and tearing the tube where the valve stem meets the rim. Like every 3rd ride. What can I do to try prevent this? Can anyone give me a check list. I'll try them all. I couldn't find a rim lock that will work on the s...

Nice video:

ok.. have u looked at the Lotus or the Ford or the Kestral? They made it into limited production. At the time the material and the electric drive train was not available ... but now that Tesla has proved there is a market.. Looks like the Kestral and the Lotus uses hemp for the panels, which I said...

Yes.. i agree that that statement is a bit much... Then why perpetuate false information? but The three-door hatchback weighs just 2,500 pounds. A Ford Fusion, which is about the same size, weighs 1,200 pounds more than the Kestrel. This increases fuel efficiency by 25 to 30 percent over traditiona...

Hemp 10x stronger than steel? Sorry, but that's just not true.

Hemp might flex 10 times as much steel before breaking, but that doesn't make it 10x times stronger than steel. Big difference, and one wants a frame nearly as stiff as possible.

this carbon enduro electric motorcycle build was awesome : https://endless-sphere.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=35679 and the "Unit Skycraft" carbon FMX motorcycle.. https://www.motorcyclepowersportsnews.com/wp-content/uploads/News/08_01_2010/119608UnitWeb0S_00000069388.jpg would be cool to ...

A quick search shows hemp is not that great of a fiber for strength. Flax is quite a bit better. Fiberglass is more than 3x stronger. And CF at 4127 MPa is about 4.5x stronger using the most optimistic hemp MPa on your chart, and it's 7.5x using the lower value. The hemp angle seems more like a mar...

Make it like a Sur-ron except with better geo, suspension, brakes, and front wheel.

And to me, most importantly, room for a proper rear tire.

Thanks 3D. Looks like more detailed specs at this link: https://evnerds.com/electric-vehicles/e-motorcycle-news/sur-ron-storm-bee-mx-and-homologated-version-revealed/ From the specs listed for the offroad version it appears that the weight will be about 259 lbs, seat height 36", top speed 68 m...
