Sur Ron X Black Edition Trail Ride

Описание: Rode some trails today on my Sur Ron X Black Edition. These bikes are fun to ride and such a different riding experience they are hard to quantify or describe. Definitely a cross between a mountain bike (more e-MTB) and a dirt bike. The Sur Ron X only weighs about 110 lbs and has an electric motor/battery with about around 6 hp but can carry my 195 lbs through the woods fast enough to be fun. The stock tires are marginal off road but easily upgraded with real moto tires. The suspension is basically downhill mountain bike stuff and feels soft when sitting on the bike in the garage but works surprisingly well on the trails. The stock brakes squeal when hot. I have heard some upgraded Shimano brake pads work better and do not make noise. My Sur Ron has about 150 miles on it so far and the only issue I have seen is loose spokes. I've done lap time comparisons with my Sur Ron X and my Husky TX300. On the tight trail I rode in this video the Sur Ron was about 1 sec quicker over a 1:50 lap time. On a more open trail with more hills and about 3:30 lap time the Sur Ron was about 12 secs/lap slower than my TX300. I think the Sur Ron with about 10~12 hp and better tires could turn similar lap times to my regular dirt bikes in the woods.
Riding a motorcycle in the woods in silence is so cool. These Sur Ron bikes are a unique experience and perhaps most importantly just fun to ride! Looking forward to more of these kind of electric mobility products coming to market soon!
