Yeah, I'm also interested in this, thinking about pulling the trigger on one of these!
Pinotman said:Hi fellow SurRon enthusiasts,
I'm waiting on my order for 24f Nuclear too.. . Tossed up over ASI BAC800 , but felt there was more upside with this controller at around half ASI prices... so ill be interested to see how that installation goes and performance increase goes Sn0wchyld. I ride my Surron Aussie registered bike on roads strictly to commute to work at present. Its meant to be a restricted class LA moto over here... max 50ks. although I dont know anyone who has bought one who has not de-restricted it.. I have other electric bikes for off road applications but will eventually put a 72V battery in it and ride off road as well.
Being 6.2 and 95kgs i found the bike naturally small compared to my normal e-bikes and other motos i have had and the riding position uncomfortable when riding 50ks each day to work on it. So I have had a custom seat modded up over the original seat pan by a bike seat modder ( who is a bit of an acknowledged genius here in Aust when it comes to these type of things) that I have just put onto the bike and this has increased my riding height position by around 1 inch upwards and 2 inches backwards ( which is quite a lot without changing the over dynamics too much) and it is a much wider and thicker seat and extremely comfortable. I also have 3 inch riser bars and a stem extender fitted... I am really happy with the quality and result of this seat for the price I paid. From reading the posts in this forum ( as i regularly do) I know a few of you have considered options with custom seats for Surron , welding metal on to frame to push the seat back and also the seat extenders option ( that Suron Shop sells) ... but outside of Mark Kitaoka who had Renazco Racing build him a custom suede seat made for big $$$'s.. im not sure who has custom modded their seat? What has been achieved for me .. is a much more comfortable riding platform with the benefits of a higher and further back riding position - which for me ticks all of the boxes, that just pushing the existing seat backwards, or using seat extenders would not have achieved.
I actually bought a spare second seat to do this ( as it was a 2 week leas time and i wanted to continue to ride the bike) so i still have the original seat the bike came with - you can see the difference below from the photos. If anyone is interested, im happy to share the cost and the details for the modder. It would be easy for fellow Aussie Surron owners to get this done and i assume o/seas postage would increase the cost for Eu and Us.
cheers
Nic

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:i asked what fork it is (I have seen 3 different forks mentioned so far), and I just asked if its a 4.6kwh battery or a 7 kwh battery. I suspect its the former.
also how is storm bee claiming 520nm torque? the alta has 50nm torque if i remember at 35kw
so somehow it has 10 times the torque of an alta?

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
