I'm 65 and it is one of the best purchases I have ever made. Bought it 2 years ago and use is mainly off road. Explored many abandoned mines and cabins in Death Valley, Inyo and Mono county mountains, Put it in the back of my 4Runner, go out to the middle of nowhere and take the Surron out and explore from there. No noise, no fuel, can't get stuck on those knarly, rutted out, shelf roads. Has taken me to places that no one has been to in decades, a total game changer for me.

5 years of Sur Ron Light Bee. The bike that defined the class of light weight emotos. I'm still rocking my 2018 Light Bee MX the classic Light Bee and still grabbing podiums with it. Recently took 2nd in the Virginia City Grand Prix electric class and we had nothing but Sur Rons racing that class. That goes to show the popularity of this bike. I've nearly broken or replaced every part on it already though =P

5:43 dude tell me why my neighbors call the cops on me like once a week when I take it out on my day off 😂

Enjoyed the video. I feel exact same way about my 2022 surron x black.

Your old Surron is my old Surron! When I owned it, I went down the rabbit hole on the upgrades. If I were to do it over, I would do your “mandatory” upgrades and be done. I got a new Honda Navi and purposely did not repeat that mistake. That little moto scooter is a blast to commute on😃

Looking forward to the matchup comparisons. Wonder if you’ll race the various brands in stock form with different riders or same rider doing lap times on same track. Would be nice to see a comparison on different terrain too (dirt, mountain, street, etc.) to see which version shines in the various tracks.

Hi, is it ok for ~6'2" (187cm / 100kg) ?

[Alex-oywb]

Nice update! Given all the upgrades you did, what budget upgrades would you recommend for a new surron buyer who primarily uses it for off road mountain trails?

[Alex-oywb]

Do you recommend the Hayes dominion over the trp for Surron lbx?

[scottm.]

C'mon Tucker where is your video on the new Artic Leopards..Exe and Ex's. Other outlets are putting videos out and I know you have one... let's go!! I'm about to drive 700 miles to buy on this weekend...I need your expertise. ✌️😂

GOOD, what about the ultra? a new model soon? with 21/18 wheels?

[moto]

No mention of the new battery connection and harness ?

[timothydrake]

Can you loft the front tire over logs like a Trials bike?

[SWTrailsAndWheels]

Eride ProSS appears to be in the lead at the moment. I hope that model will be included in comparo.

[daangomersall]

i want a crossbike but i dont know which one to get can someon help i want it to accelarate fast have a good range of miles be under or 6000 euros and good max speed i dont care if its electric or not im just alot in the mountains and crossing on tracks

[tigerrider]

More power is a bit more fun but totally not needed. All this bike needs is tires and a set of bar risers to go out and play.

[MotoAlias]

If the light bee was 12kw like the ultra but still as light as it is now. That would be an awesome bike

[tannerworley]

What is the max power that can be pulled from the new battery, new battery connector and harness, assuming use with an aftermarket controller

[saskwotch]

Will they ever actually update this model? I’m surprised they haven’t introduced something with a solid swingarm, bigger 72v battery, controller, and a wide 16/19 tyre setup. After 5 years customers are ready for something more capable but… half a decade later, still the wobbly swingarm, etc, etc. not surprising Talaria, E-Ride, etc are growing segment share. Each competitor bike is a newer bike than this one - the original one, still unfortunately little changed from the bike to start it all. Such a shame not to see it evolving. Come on Sur Ron, we're ready and waiting... don't make me buy an E-ride Pro.

Sur-Ron nailed frame .. still under 5 grand has gotten added power which validates the frame .. massive after market .. Hmm .. winner winner chicken dinner
