Great build. Love your choices. Also consider that YZ85 front end is a direct fit on SurRon. Just swap bearing races and add a 6mm spacer under the lower bearing to make up for the difference in steerer tube length. The KYB fork and the brake and hub from a YZ85 are easy to find cheap and imho offer extremely good performance on SurRon.

Just finished my talaria, ext rear shock, warp bars and pegs, ebmx 9000, 72 volt 57ah battery. Been running 12 and 15kw with 500 to 700 amps. Amazing how much more fun these bikes are with more power. I can feel the extra battery weight but the power is nuts. Forks are next.

Sold my Surron about a year too early because I needed more bike. There are so many crazy parts available now, wish I still had it.

the 21'/18' will definitely raise seat level, and Shimano H03C's are essential too. Pretty similar to my build, a nd I am running the 21/18 combo with seat extenders -I'm 6'-2" though and it works well until I want lower COG which is the only drawback. I run a BAC 4k and a Chibatt 60/60 that combined with the 18" rear is a killer combo, and should have that new swingarm from France's MTO Bros soon. Several friends run the same with 72v and are crazy hill-climbers! Thanks Tucker, you are the reason I bought my first Sur Ron in 2019

Wondering how close to this an Ultra Bee with reduced bodywork and the 16/19” wheels would be 🤔

Another awesome video. The tune was too light but glad you got to try it. Next time we’ll try the Heavy tune!

[VoltedAdventures]

Nice bro! Loving the way the build is coming together. 🙌🏼 and thats a dope trail! 🤙🏼

My stock Talaria front fender fits on the Fastace. The stock DNM had 3 bolts and 2 of them line up perfectly on the Fastace

I've envisioned myself going off roading with a Sur Ron I plan on getting. But man, you seem to be going faster than what I imagined myself going on a Sur Ron even though you're just casually talking and feeling the bike. Great riding!

[lukepowell]

I have that same swing arm and rear shock setup. It rips

[HobbiesHire]

Great job on the video! Thanks for making it.

This is awesome. Waiting for a bike that can handle the TKO like a gas bike and be in the 150LB range. It needs to be able to handle the hills as well. I've ridden hard enduros on ktm bikes here in the north east and weight and vibration ware you down quick. The gas bikes are usually around 250lb+. Even the ktm freeride is around 300 lbs. Would like a bike that comes in kit form so I can build it. Kit form should keep bike cost down and shipping cost down as well.

Bruh, this build is so dope. Curious why you aren't going with a 21" / 18" setup? I'm about to buy a Talaria w/ a 16/19 with KX85 forks, and I'm a little worried the wheels will not be big enough for real enduro obstacles.

[rabbit_holed]

I’m always so surprised how much this looks like MTB and if you jumped into the video without seeing the bike you could easily be mistaken since it’s so quiet. The speed is a dead giveaway but still…! Forget to $10k EMTB I’m gunna buy one of these.

[Briggsys_Stuff]

Great videos. Having recently installed a bac4000 & 60v 53ah I wondered what kw tune you have you found best on the surron for this type of loop? I have tried 10kw & found Level 4 & 5 too much for 95% of the enduro style trail I ride, & when I do push on the chassis & suspension quickly become a limiting factor! 👍🏻

[themillera]

This build is super cool and I'm really enjoying watching it progress, but - based on some quick back of the napkin math - you've got to be somewhere north of $13K on this build, not including labor costs, right? It just makes me wonder how it stacks up against the other proper E-dirtbikes like the Varg and the Stormbee, etc. since it's now equaling or exceeding that same price range. Would love to hear your thoughts on that.

[trasher]

Do you plan on getting a KO motor, or any other motor, to prevent overheating, especially on technical ascends?

[kountatalk]

Can you do breakdown of the costs of all your mods? Would be good to know what each mod costs for any of us looking to upgrade our surrons 👍

How big of a difference is there between Fox 40 forks and the fast ace? I’m looking to get fox but the ace are so much cheaper.
