Many thanks Jesper, there are a few other videos where I cover some of the parts like insurance and so on. I just want to get the info out there so people know all the bits of the bike before dropping the money. Shout if there are any other questions and its a great little bike with so much poke for the size.

Such a great bike for around town. Easy to ride for pretty much everyone and a lot of go off the line. Thanks for the kind words on the review.

Yes they are so much fun. I also asked the guys about the regen and being used to an Nissan Leaf and BMW i3's regen its not so strong. I am hoping that in the next versions we will get an option to set the regen via an app and be able to customise your ride like Segway do on there Onewheel Electric unicycles. The more regen the more power you can put back in the battery so a win win. Enjoy riding with your son and they are great for exploring.

Great stuff glad it helped you. Great bike and hope you enjoy when you get it.

Dont you have a Dongle to progam the regenbrake? You dont have to unplug it

Great stuff I am glad that I could have helped. Enjoy the bike when you get it.

hey glen any updates? how good is it?

So true, I just hope they keep on developing it so it gets better. For the UK I would like to see much better weatherproofing on the battery and the turn signal cluster. I would also like to see maybe two models, a lower power model like the one available now and then a pro version that has more power. Also some app connectivity to change riding profiles and see ride details. But awesome bike.

@@Andre-Mostert They do have a lower-powered 48V version, the Sur Ron S and they did make a run of 100 Sur Ron Ludicrous XX bikes at 24 HP for competition. I'm hoping they will make them more widely available,

@@Knapweed would be good. Now that Segway is involved it would be interesting to see what they do with them.

No problem, sharing and getting the word out there is always a pleasure.

Happy it helped you out. If you look in the video at min 9:38 you will see a red on/off switch. I initially thought it was to cut out the motor like a normal bike but I just checked and that switch is used to turn the headlight on and off.

Andre and Anneliese Oh, wow, I believe, it’s optional then, because it doesn’t come with this, usually, does it?

@@ckghxst Switch was added as an extra, easy enough to do. ;-)

Stag Motorcycles Could You tell me where to get it then, please, if it’s some decent switch and not from aliexpress or something like that? I haven’t found it on Your website.

Hi there, thank you for the comment. I will ask if there are more of them in stock and let you know where I got it from.

@@Andre-Mostert Ok, thank you. Don't know if there is an overseas order service?

@@user-nt3bh8ng7c Ok, so they dont make my one anymore. There is a new one thats official Sur-Ron part but they are currently all sold out. Keep an eye out on this website and they do International shipping. Hope this helps and I am going to get me one too. stagmotorcycles.co.uk/collections/sur-ron-spares/products/sur-ron-rear-hugger

No problem. You really helped me a lot. The thanks is from a Taiwanese who is also a Sur- Ron lover.

Glad I could help. Its such a nice little bike. Hope you get the fender sorted out as it does make a difference to keep the dirt off the rear shock.

Hi Kees and thank you for the the comment. This one I had was the stock standard SurRon Light Bee. Its not the upgraded version. You can get them here in the UK in the offroad version that is unrestricted to 45mph and then you have the one you see here that is restricted to 30mph so it can fall under the UK law of a moped and you have to have bike license and it needs to be registered and taxed. As far I understand to unrestrict it its not that difficult and there are loads of people that has done it. But its the risk you take. But all that aside, its a great little bike and so much fun if you are a light rider, I am 72kg. It handled my 15 miles round trip to work and back with out any problems even in the depths of winter. There are so many mods out there now for them and because most of the parts are MTB parts they are very well priced compared to motorbike parts. I also found that the insurance was high for such a small bike and they are light and can be carried away. So a good solid lock is a good idea. The new ones are more weatherproofed compared to mine but I covered the battery with a bag when it was standing in the rain the whole day at work. Shout if you have more questions.

Hi there, I checked with a few guys here at the office and they also think you should be able to use your provisional license to ride the Sur-Ron. As far I understand its classed as a moped and only goes up to 30mph (road version). Hope this help and hope you can get the bike sorted for riding to work.

@@Andre-Mostert thank you!😁

@@laurencooper1169 No problem. Shout if you have any further questions.

There are people that remove the massive back part and relocate the brake light to under the tail. The only thing to watch out for is when the shock compresses that is does not hit the tail light. They replace it with a slimmer version. This is the same for the blinkers. I know the guys in the US go for the brake light with the integrated blinkers but here in the UK its a bit hard to find. Great little bike and massive amount of fun. If you buying in the UK just make sure you spend the money to get a solid secure lock or chain as they steal these bikes like hot cakes. Also for insurance looking at Lexham but again read the fine print as most companies dont cover the bikes when they are not locked with a solid secure lock. Hope this helps.

Casey Kendall the road version is limited to 30mph as standard and has the big front light and indicator that makes it road legal. The off road version does not come with any of this and you might find it hard to pass the road legal status. Hope this helps. Here in the uk they are strict

@@Andre-Mostert Ok thanks, where I live in Canada, the limit is 70kmh (43mph) and theres no power limits

Very nice then you can remove the moped restriction and make it run at the 45mph. Good luck and man its a nice little bike. Also so cheap to work on as all the parts are MTB parts.

It was not that bad, its not road tyre smooth but it was not as bad as when I rode a BMW with offroad tyres. I used it right through winter. You just need to be careful when the roads are wet and cold as you riding on the edge knobbies and can be very slippery. I did not have any troubles with sliding out and I did use it on the road for my daily ride into work and back. Just a side note. You need to look at a solid secure lock for the bike as they are light and easy to steal. One of the things the insurance guys made me aware of otherwise they dont pay out at all. I used Lexham for 3rd party fire and theft only. Good luck and shout if you have more questions

@@Andre-Mostert Good to know! I am planning to use it all year around so it is good to know it is possible to use it as winter tires also if beeing very careful. Yes, I have two motorcycle insurance disc locks but is probably a great idea to get a chain lock for it so a thief cant lift it away.

Yes this is true. Lexham told me because it was in the agreement that if the bike is not locked with a sold secure rated lock and its not anchored you are on your own. Yes the bikes come in just under 50kg so getting it in a van is quick work. Also the other thing that I found is if you at the traffic lights it does not have enough weight to activate the traps to change the lights lol. Something small but weird.

Hi Joel, the SurRon comes in two versions, the full road version with all the bits that makes it comply with the UK law and its classed as a moped. By default its limited to 30mph to fall in the moped class. Then all you do is get insurance and you are sorted. If you buy the offroad version then you need to get all the bits to make the bike road legal and that is way too much money. But that is it. If you want more information chat to the guys at stagmotorcycles.co.uk/ they are super helpful. Just remember the range is not going to be the same as a 125cc scooter. Hope that helps and shout if you have more questions.

@@Andre-Mostert ahhh OK thank you, how would u legally go about getting it faster, like changing the battery to a 72v ect

There is no legal way to make it faster as it must comply with the moped specifications of not being able to go faster than 30mph. The offroad version does go to 45mph. I have seen on some other videos where the guy do the unlock to 45mph on the road version. But if you want to stay on the right side of the law then you are limited to 30mph, license and insurance. As far I understand the unlock is a simple change. Hope this helps.

Yes you can, both the on road and offroad versions are the same motor and X controller. The road version is restricted to comply here in the UK to the moped speed limit that is 30mph. But I have seen people install a little bypass switch that links up to the sport button that give it the same top speed as the off road version. Very simple to do from what I have seen. Awesome little bike.

Andre and Anneliese thanks m8 would they do that at that Stag place or is it illegal?

At Stag they sell two versions, the full road version and the full off road version. The trick with the bypass switch is usually from other guys modding their bikes (forums and youtube). If you mod your bike its your responsibility as the insurance is not going to pay out if they find out your bike is not restricted to 30mph according to the law. Dont want to sound like a dad lol

Hi John, this version of the bike is the road version and it came with all the bits to make it roadworthy. If you looking for parts and spares speak to the guys at Stag Motorcycles. stagmotorcycles.co.uk/ They will be able to help with all spares and hopups. Keep well and good luck.

That was the total trip of the bike when I test drove it. The bike in that form cannot do 40miles on a charge. Closer to eeeking out 28miles as far I remember. I did use the bike allot and put a good 1500mile on the bike. Great little machines and super fun to ride and easy to maintain.

@@Andre-Mostert hey,thanks for reply but I don't think you got my question right.I was asking about they way number looks on screen as there's 39(space)5 on it. Im wondering if that's odometer number?

Yes that is the total mileage of the bike. Dont know why there is a bit of a space.

Thank you for the tip on the tyre choices. I checked out the shinko 244 and they looks spot on for what I want to do.

I am also close to Reading and ride in daily and this little bike is a gem to get to work and back. Just make sure you have a good sold secure certified lock as most of the insurance companies require this. Who are you looking to buy from?

Andre and Anneliese thanks for the heads up on that. Haven’t got to that stage just yet, I know we’ve got a handful of dealers in the U.K. just traveling through the forums to see reviews on long term ownership. I’m not gonna be ragging it on trails or anything to hopefully that contributes to reliability. My only concern is how the battery holds up over time and getting parts if anything goes wrong. Your bike looks 👌 though !

As the whole bike is basically built form mountain bike part its really cheap to replace bits. For instance the brakes are high end mountain bike brakes same for the front and rear shock. The handle bar and stem are also standard bits. It you go and chat to the guys at Stagmotorcycles in Newbury they can show you around the bike. The battery is pretty solid and again easy to get hold of a spare or replacement if you need it. This is the joy of electric stuff. Low maintenance and get up and go fun. Lube the chain and keep the belt drive clean and you should be good. Mine is sitting just under a 1000 miles. Will do a little update video when I get there. Shout if you have questions

Andre and Anneliese thank you sir ! Really appreciate you getting back to me

As far I understand if you buy the road version it needs to comply to the 30mph top speed. I have seen guys do the unlock to the top end speed that is the same as the off road only model. You should be able to find allot of videos about the process.

Hi, there's a setting to actually disable the speed limiter, you would have to do this every time but its better than losing your warranty, in my opinion. What you would need to do is either use the front brake or kickstand (depends on what is used to change settings like energy braking). All you do is 5 short and 1 long, your screen will mark C0, this means that you no longer have restricted speed limit.

Great information, I think this is on the newer controllers as I think it was not available on mine. But still thank you.

You can buy one that is the off road version and then you dont need a license but then you are only allowed to ride on private land with permission or a track. If you get the road version then you need to tax and insure it. This is what applys in the UK. Awesome little bikes with good power and loads of fun. Hope that helps.

@@Andre-Mostert can you unlock the road version bike to go 45-50 mph like the off-road version…?

@@jonvickerson7694 Hi Jon as far I understand yes you can. But then the bike does not fall under the moped rules here in the UK and you might run into trouble if someone runs into you the other way around. Just have to mention that. Awesome little bike and you can have so much fun on it.

Awesome thanks for joining. I have sold the SurRon a few months back as I was looking for something a little bigger and with a bit more range. The SurRon was really good for just under 2 years and I used it right through winter here in the UK. Awesome little bike. The only thing you need to be aware of it to cover it when its really raining hard as the water can get into the switch gear and cause a bit of weirdness with the indicators. But otherwise its a great little bike.

It was on the bike when I bought it from @stagmotorcycles. Speak to Steve and he can sort you out. That is if you are in the UK.

Best place for me and I would point people too is Stag. Here is the link stagmotorcycles.co.uk/ Mail or phone them, they are super helpful. Good luck and thanks for watching.

@@Andre-Mostert thank you mate

@@Andre-Mostert can you comment the link to the actual bike not the website, sorry to be a pain 😂 I cant find the bike on the website

Here you go, direct link to the bike. But its best to give the guys a call or drop them a whatsapp. They can look out for a bike for you or if there are any second hand ones that come in. At the moment there are a massive shortage of the bikes and they cannot get them quick enough. But there are also a good load of guys buying them and then moving them on. Good luck. stagmotorcycles.co.uk/collections/e-dirtbike/products/sur-ron-light-bee-off-road

Yes the road version does have a high beam. Work ok but in the depths of winter it would be nice to have a bit more power.

Hi there thank you for the questions and I will try and get to all of them. 1. Ok so for insurance I had to go with Lexham as they are one of the few companies that insure electric motorbikes. I have my BMW with Carol Nash and they dont do electric bikes. That is bad as they are one of the big ones. I got away with 3rd party fire and theft for £250. I found phoning them to get the best result. Also you need to have the bike locked always otherwise they dont pay out. Also needs to be an approved lock. So you need to factor that in. Its because the bike is so light that anyone can pick it up and move it. 2. Yes you can. Its a simple switch that you can install to take the 30mph limit off. I get 45mph and with my bike gear on I weight 80kg. You can also change the sprocket at the rear to get a bit more speed but you loose some torque. I love the get away more than the speed. 3. I got mine as a demo model and it was 4000 pounds. It had all the extras on, carbon rear fender, mud guards and carbon sump guard. The new ones go for 4500 for the road and I think a little less for the offroad version. 4. Best to mail Steve at Stag motorcycles and ask him. If he does not do then he might be able to point you to someone that can. You can also join the facebook group UK to see if anyone is selling theres for cheaper or use comparethemarket to sort out finance. Yes its a great little bike to ride. This is more the size of a mountain bike that a motorbike. I ride into Reading daily and this is perfect to beating the traffic as where the big bike cannot filter this one does with ease. I am running the MX tyres and they are not that great on the road but I am going to run them down and then get some flat track style ones. Also all the spare on these bikes are mountain bike parts so its much cheaper to replace. But give Steve a call and go and visit his shop and ride the bike. Even if he can look out for a bike for you he is your man. Keep me posted and I hope this helps.

@@Andre-Mostert is that 250 GBP per year?

The road version here in the UK is restricted to 30mph as it needs to fall under the moped rules. The offroad version can go up to 45mph. Great little bike and had loads of fun on it.

@@Andre-Mostert they are great fun I agree but you can get 125cc mopeds that will do 60mph ish. that way you can keep up with traffic better

@@martinsavage9355 That is so true. But if you want something that is really cheap to run and you dont have allot of mile to do and you have an area around where you can ride some forest trails then the SurRon is awesome. I loved mine and I hope they keep on developing the battery and performance. Its more e-MTB than scooter. But if you need to do allot of riding and travel longer then as you say the moped is a better choice. Thanks for the feedback Martin.

Hi there, there are two version of this SurRon, the road version and the offroad version. The road version is classed as a moped so you require in the UK to have it licensed, taxed and insured and also its limited to 30mph to comply with the law. It also comes with all the bits needed for that, indicators, bigger front lights, rear light and numberplate holder. The offroad version does not come with all the road bits and its also unrestricted and can go up to 45mph a little faster if you change the sprocket. Hope that helps.

So in the UK the road version like what you see in the video is classed as a moped. So the same rules apply. The insurance was through Lexham as they were the only ones that knew about the bike and was happy to insure. I was paying about £250 a year. This is allot of money for a very small bike. But it was getting me to work and back and not costing me much to run. I think the insurance would also be based on where you live and how high the risk is. Hope this helps.

@@Andre-Mostert wow £250 is so cheap i called another company they wanted £1000 a year im 17 and live in hull

Yes because I am old lol. When you are young its not easy to get insurance. It might be worth looking at only fire and theft rather than full cover. That is what I did. I just bought a massive sold secure lock that also covers me for a £1000. Good luck

Yes still getting the hang of all the bits but been using it for getting to work and back and its been perfect. Getting around traffic is just as easy as pie.

@@Andre-Mostert nice 😎 also I'm in Australia 👍I have unlocked mine 😁too I know very nauty 😉

@@xboxice2005 Nice one, as far I know you can still use the eco mode to drop it down to the scooter 30mph speed. Then full speed with the full power button.

Did you put a mail into Stagemotorcycles they might be able to point you to someone or they might have a spare. stagmotorcycles.co.uk/ Good luck with the find

@@Andre-Mostert the uk sur-ron shop sells them. But 80% of people that buy the l1e they swap out the lights and wires. I'm hoping to find a stock l1e lighting set up for very cheap or near free. Buying just the light is $40 than i need the light bracket another $7 also could use the wires another $70 for a full wire harness for the l1e. The speedometer is around $30-$40 the front cover another $10 it all adds up lol 😆 and its not even near the best lights BUT with some simple mods new bulbs or led chips could make it work. I've piced together a full lighting kit i have everything needed and its not bad but its not plug and play each piece is a different brand so have to wire it all up. I mapped each wire but still dont fully understand how to wire in a fuse relay the sig relay and the switch

Many thanks for the feedback. Hope you get it sorted out.

I have some other videos where I ride it and cover a bit more of the details. This was long ago and total noob. Thanks for the feedback.

Thanks for the comment.

Thank you.

A J thanks for the feedback, always room for improvement. Great bike go try one out.

@@Andre-Mostert cheers anyway i am looking @ getting a ron very soon

Nice, keep me posted would like your feedback when you get it. Use mine daily to get to work and back. It’s a real traffic filtering machine and the off the line punch is great fun.
