Yes .. BMW GV71 DDU

Thanks man!

You're never too old!

I'm selling mine if you're interested.

@@Sur-Ronhow much?

@@tylerburgess8709 £3500. It's got a private plate on it too which is worth a grand

Yeh at full speed (40-45mph) it will do about 20-25miles

Hi, no I didn't have to do that as it was already registered when I bought it. I get my insurance through Lexham insurance

I'm 170cm. You can get seat risers if it's a bit short.

Not anymore as I've got a smaller plate on it and I'm very light. When I had the full sized plate on there it used to hit all the time

@@Sur-Ron Cheers what size plate do you have coz I think I'll need to get a smaller one?

@@jonny_surrony 7in x 5in

@@Sur-Ron Nice one cheers for the help

@@jonny_surrony you're welcome mate

It's just the standard headlight that comes with the road legal version.

I don't do it very often. Only done it a handful of times.

Yeah and not that far from getting hit by a car twice.

Why not?

300-500

I pay about £800. I'm 39, last year was my first year riding so haven't built up any no claims

@@Sur-Ron do you mean first year riding a bike? Or first year on the road like never driven a car? I take it my ncd from my car wouldn't be transferable to a bike.

@@scott2735 1st year insuring a bike... I've got over 10years no claims on my car... It's not transferable

There is a wire that you need to cut to unrestrict it.

@@Sur-Ronwouldnt this cause trouble with MOT etc or invalidate insurance?

@@ImranAli-dv9dg no. I haven't had any problems

@@Sur-Ron hi thanks for replying, so when I get MOT for the surron, do you think they would check to see if I’ve cut the wire or not, have you got your MOT done before whilst the wire was cut? Also i subscribed bro good video

@@ImranAli-dv9dg thanks for the sun Bro! Tbh I haven't had to MOT it coz it's not 3 years old yet. But I don't think they would check or even know to check. Most people don't even know what the bike is, let alone know about the wire being cut

I haven't had any issues with it. It's still fully legible from behind

The wire doesn't actually need to be physically cut apparantly, insurance is fine with it, keep it eco for under 30mph sport goes full speed, but cutting the wire unlocks sport mode full speed not eco, so eco is still legal at 16 on CBT classes as a 50cc moped, insurance goes for around 400-600 from what I know, and they're fine with it being used full speed usually

I ride using my CBT. When I bought mine the wire was already cut. It's insured as a 125cc equivalent. I always ride in sport (mainly because the re-gen is more aggressive). I only found 2 companies that would insure it. I use Lexham insurance. More expensive than the other company (can't remember the name) but that other company had such poor reviews I just went with Lexham for peace of mind.

Dare I ask the price?

@@breakit46 £800 a year fully comprehensive

@@Sur-Ron is that on a provisional license? No full bike license? Cheers.

Hi. You need a CBT. There were only two companies that I found that would insure it. I use Lexham insurance. Please view my FAQs video for more info

​@@Sur-Rondo you still need l plates

@@allanallen1835 if you only have a CBT then yes.

@@Sur-Ronwhat 2 company’s?

@@te177 MCN and Lexham

I got the road legal version because I use it to commute. If you get the normal version they are illegal to ride on the road and can only be legally ridden on private land. Most people just ride them illegally. I've only seen a handful of people with the road legal version. Also I can insure it. And the police have never stopped me because I have a numberplate.

@@Sur-Ron thanks for the info mate looks like I’ll be needing a road legal one don’t want it taken off me

@@Sur-Ron What's the difference between road legal and other one? Surely it's the same product? Up to you to register it and put plate on, no?

@@jjr1728 it’s got all the bits that make it road legal. Headlight, tail light with brake light, indicators, a horn, and a number plate. If you don’t want to get arrested, and your bike taken and crushed, you get the legal version. Otherwise you run the risk of getting done

@@Sur-Ron But surely the road legal isn't totally legal ? I heard they can't insure it due to it being 50cc so they'll still take it off you

I insure with Lexham Insurance. Tax is free as it's electric.

@@Sur-Ron thsnk you buddy.

@@adematthews2396 you’re welcome mate!

Depends how you ride it! I get between 30 and 40 miles usually. That is doing 30mph average

It's registered as a 50

How much did it cost to insure it?

Haha… yeh just noticed that…

CBT

Yes. I'm selling it. Got a GSX R125. Will be putting up some videos soon

It's fully road legal... Has a numberplate

What was the licence you first got it retested on?

For the light be you just need a CBT. For an ultra bee you need a full license

Sorry for the late reply

I'm currently paying £1200 for the year fully comprehensive. However it's my first year insuring a bike and I live in London. It costs about 50p to charge on average

@@Sur-Ron thank you I was looking mainly at the insurance fact as wanted to see how cost effective it would be to get electric bike but from looking for more information on the insurance companys they seem to not have really established in this type so they seem to have it high. But saying that I still believe the pro's still very much outweigh the cons I have found more information from you than any other source thank you and I look forwards to seeing more about your journey

@@plexcontractors3500 I could only find 2 companies that would insure me... I went with Lexham Insurance. The other one was much cheaper but the excess was ridiculous and the company had lots and lots of bad reviews

I bought it already road legal. They do a road legal version.

Yeh it's stock... A few minor upgrades.

I think it's insured as a 50 as the V5 says it's a 50

@@Sur-Ron But as you have derestricted it, you will need to notify your insurance company and re register it, or the insurance will not be valid. A potential problem, if you are involved with either the police or an accident involving another vehicle.

No, just a CBT.

You need a CBT. So you can get it with a provisional license or a full license.

Already done... Without the "snip" it only does 30mph

@@Sur-Ron Nice one looks fast when you open her out, a if it's classed as moped I can ride that on my car licence with no CBT crap🙂

Once wire is cut its not road legal. Moped class is restricted to 30mph, as long as your aware. My 125 2smoker is deresricted and has 3o odd bhp, not legal now..

@@uk_familygreen Just put an inline switch on the wire, so you can have full power when you want, that's what I would do

​@@uk_familygreencant see anything in there about derestricting a 50cc bike. Ive been pulled over on my sting R road legal because the police arent used to seeing that bike being used legally and they didnt have any issues with the fact I'd cut the wire to get the full 55mph. It woukd be illegal for a 16 year old on a CBT to do it but thats all i can think of.

The lights, indicators and numberplate

At 100% battery it does 47mph. At 90% it does 45. At 50% it does 40. At 15% it does 30.

Hi, you can't. You have to buy and fit a switch. Otherwise the light is permanently on.

I know! That’s why I have the road legal version… haven’t been pulled over once, in over a year. As soon as they see me, they see my number plate, do their checks and have no reason to pull me over. 👍🏾

?

I know man, sorry, just filming on my phone…

@@Sur-Ron I am just making you aware for your content brother! Have a great day my man. No need to be sorry....

I wanted something electric and something I could take off-road/ trails. I do know what you mean though… it also has a few benefits over a normal motorbike, no servicing, virtually no maintenance, no fuel, no road tax, costs less than a pound to charge. The downsides are, the initial cost, and the range. And I mainly wanted it to commute to work and avoid traffic and not have to worry about speed bumps which are on every single road near me. I was considering selling it for a normal motorbike but decided I’ll keep it and get another bike too (next year when I have to do my full license)

@@Sur-Ron I see your points mate. Still for the price you pay, could have bought an e-bike and an e-moped (or road legal 50cc scrambler). I just think the Sur Ron looks like a kids dirt bike and is meant for fields, not the main roads. I can still see their appeal tbh and they look like great fun, but I’d still pick a petrol driven motor over an electric on anything more than a bicycle. They just don’t have the range for the money you are paying and whilst they may pay off over time in terms of fuel and tax savings, all battery powered bikes/ motorbikes are straight up a pain to constantly charge, especially if planning any trip more than 100kms from your home. The infrastructure is getting there for cars, but not even close for e-motorbikes or regular e-bikes. Indeed a great city traffic beating tool, but there are certainly far cheaper options with much greater ranges that also work well in the city.

@@NoelG-IRE all your points are completely true but it does what I need it to do. I just wanted an alternative to taking my car to work everyday. And the range isn’t really an issue for me as I very rarely travel that far and if I need to I just take my car. I can also fit it in my parents car if fold down the back seats, take the front wheel off the Sur-Ron and put in the car, and because it’s so light it’s easy to do.

@@NoelG-IRE you say that mate but theres a massive lack of decent 125 ofroaders, sure you coulf get a wr or something but the power on one of these is gonna be much better suited off road than a wr125, or you could go the two stroke route like i have, ive got a 2001 DTR but it cost over 3k when i bought it could probably add close to a grand now, and the mpg on these two strokes is awful, so im planning to get one of these for the work journeys to keep the mileage down on the dtr

@@SDrizzy ok but what IF you wanted to go on a longer spin? You have to buy and carry another battery or stop and wait for it to charge. That’s my problem, the range and the cost vs a combustion powered bike. What if you want to go to a proper track for the day? These batteries are not cheap and have an ultimate life. They are only designed for a certain number of charges and after that they start to degrade. For me, they will cost you more money in the long run and I don’t think they will hold there value either. Plus most people buying them for off-road end up changing out the forks immediately and upgrading lots of other things. Cutting wires to derestrict them etc. just seems to me like they are an expensive toy and would not prepare you to drive a bigger bike which you will inevitably want to do once you realise 70mph is not that fast

Why?

@@Sur-Ron correction you need to register and insure it you guys f*** everything up for everyone else get a low-key bike
