Just found this link for a factory street legal SurRon. Prices are higher but still within ebike territory. https://surron.co.uk/products/surron-lbx-road-legal-dual-sport-e-dirt-bike

Basically most bike shops won’t sell anything faster than 32kph to avoid any hassles with insurance/law. My LBS practically kicked me out of the store for asking them if they could delimit my Vado. I do see some delimited bikes on the streets and the riders have no issues with the police. As...

An April fools joke that got a little out of hand. Now it’s a local land mark.

The extra money is for the Segway brand recognition.

Bike is 8 months old, tubes are cleaned and lubed so friction is not an issue.

First I want to thank you for taking the time to put this together. My suggestion is that maybe the ratings should be also sorted by motor manufacturers. Most of the reliability has less to do with the brand of the bike and more to do with the component manufacturers. A Bosch failure should go...

Looks like Segway is rebranding SurRons and raising the price. https://store.segway.com/segway-dirt-ebike-x260

As soon as the warranty expires!

My $4,400 cdn. Vado has only the most basic fork and no rear suspension and a much smaller battery and motor. So where are the excellent components I am supposedly getting?

Me, I’m in love with it already.

The battery is easily replaced with tools. Any owner can do it.

Yes the lock is open. I see in the documents that they carry three springs for these forks, light, medium and stiff. I guess I will assume that the fork shipped with a medium spring. Maybe once I take the fork apart the spring might be identified is some way.

I have a Vado 4.0 with the Suntour 50mm travel NCX fork. The fork is adjusted with the minimum preload and rebound. However it barely moves even on sharp deep potholes. I believe I do not weigh enough for the spring used in the fork. I am 160 pounds. Does Suntour offer optional lighter springs?

My Pedago latch has no powering up issues but the trip meter is useless. I’ve had two of them for 4 years and they are still working fine so the trip meter is sure isn’t affecting anything else.

Those aren’t really ebikes they are poorly made scooters that have useless pedals required by law. Nobody ever pedals those bikes.

Making it a pedal ebike costs more because you have to to Shimano, Magura, Suntour and such to buy components.

Being up front about it doesn’t make it right. All I am saying is that the current business model leads to high prices. Having only a few really large ebike manufacturers that each made more of the total bike would be cheaper.

They built a limited edition version with all the lights and stuff. Like ebikes they want to avoid all of the regulations around building street legal motorcycles so they stick to off road to keep the price down. The batteries used in the SurRon are high output Panasonic 18650s so they did not...

The SurRon actually is light weight for its power. The battery is 32 Ah. more than double most ebikes. The motor and controller are much more powerful than ebike components.
