    Am I in the right place?

    There's some pretty cool bikes there in the high speed bikes reviews. It's interesting how the higher performance e-bikes are in kind of a frontier on how they're regulated (or not). Sur Ron has made some attempt to, well, look like they are checking some boxes but are really a different beast...

    Am I in the right place?

    I really haven't had it long enough to suss out the range with my configuration (54T sprocket). Most people report 40+ miles in easy riding and closer to 30 if running wide open throttle and hill climbs.

    Am I in the right place?

    I'm loving it so far. As I mentioned above I'm a motorcyclist, specially a trials rider lately but the closest trials practice areas are a few hours away from me. This little bike is pretty stealthy for practice in my back yard or on private land that's nearby some homes that probably don't...

    Am I in the right place?

    Hi folks, I'm a life long motorcyclist: dirt, enduro, trials to a stint at road racing in WERA to growing up into big epic tours and adventure motorcycling. A couple of friends started showing up on Sur Ron's at Trials practice days and got me intrigued with e-bikes so I've recently picked up...
