I want to see you on the charged cycle ultra bee with Wp suspension and the big boy battery.

That thing is a machine to be bone stock!! Makes me wanna get my hands on one 🤝

One thing about the Sur Ron every weekend way past midnight still riding the mtb trails and no noise complaints

So cool Josh! You are so amazing. I could never ride that bike to its potential. Thanks for showing what can be done. I love my E-bike. Not having to put gas in it makes it so easy. Plug and play. 🥰👏🏻👏🏻

Man! I bought one of the first Light Bees from Luna Cycles. I’m feel kinda like a pioneer. Finally sold it but sure had fun on it in the hills and fields around Long Beach and Huntington Beach. Always great to watch Josh rip!

It looks like he needs more power, like he’s wringing it out

I grew up watching Josh i remember here in Texas when he was an amateur hearing about him in the C class 😂 a rider was telling me about him. But his bmx background is perfect for this bike. Josh your 2 wheel ability is crazy

Round town this would be great. Come to raleigh!

Josh is killing it with the stock suspension. I would be dead after one lap. I changed to a Fox fork and rear shock. It is butter now. You can probably ride a beach cruiser faster than me on that track. 😂

this is the bigger surron not the light bee

Great Video, Makes me want to replace Light bee with ultra.

You should upgrade it, the power is insane!

Josh, you should compare lap times on that and a 250f.

Only issue I have is the government won’t make laws yet for them because they’re waiting till a major company mass produces these things then they can regulate around how well their pockets get lined. Texas some cops let you ride it on the street/sidewalks no issues. Then some cops will tase you off it without warning. No laws = cops get to enforce how they want

That is perfect space to be in, in my opinion. Its not like they're going to pass a law giving e-bikes free range. Regulations will most likely only tighten the belt. My interactions with police on e-moto's bike have all been positive. I have been asked to leave certain areas before, like skateparks and parking lots. But never been ticketed or impounded. Its a grey area on where they can and cannot be ridden, so if you're respectful to the police, don't blatantly break traffic laws. Your chances of not being harrassed are pretty good from my experiences.

thicker wheels and a bigger sprocket will be the first thing to upgrade and then about 4k in parts following lmao

Is it better than a full moded lightbee or talaria?

the stock suspension on this bike is definitely good for the trails, not so much set up for mx, but this thing is just fun wherever you take it! wish you at least had a 21/18 wheel set cuz it makes a world of difference, glad you liked the bike tho :) you're right on the money it's more of a KLX/TTR i think the storm bee was their attempt at MX

@@joshhill75 If you already have one, just do 18/21 wheels and a 54T sprocket. Torp controller if you want more power. You can go all out with a battery too, but then you're in Stark Varg price range. I race in c-class hare scrambles with all the mods mentioned + guards and I love it. Very tough woods bike with minimal maintenance. Makes hard enduro easier

So many good used ones on the Facebook marketplace for good deals. I bought one with a 72v setup and Fox Shocks. It was a lot cheaper than a new one. It was in mint condition. So many people are buying them in the cities and then realizing cops are now cracking down on them in the streets so they sell them at a loss cause they never intended to use them offroad. The law was more in the grey area before. Now you get caught without peddling assistance and no motorcycle license and without the street legal parts on it they will tow it away. So many city folk and wheelie boys ruined it for us who wanted to ride it down the street to the trails.

No. The Torp controller does 17kW with the stock battery. Stock controller is 12.5, it's a big boost.

I’m not in the market for this bike, but either way it’s amazing how much skill you have on the 2 wheel machines🤙 I would be stoked if you did some legit street bike videos…just an idea.

How about we keep him on the dirt so he doesn't become another street bike statistic? I have had two friends who went from dirt bikes to street bikes. One is now mentally handicapped and the other passed away when a car went into his lane. Neither was riding recklessly. The cars were reckless. Your life is in another driver's hands. Some people don't just don't care about another person's life when driving. Then you have drunk drivers who are even worse. I know I'm being a Negative Nancy Pelosi. But for good reason.

Get rid of the o-ring chain. You will be floored how much of a power robber it is.

Dude I am not poor but jeez 6500 for that thing. I’ll take a used 125 lol It does look fun 😂

Theres a huge aftermarket for it too. My Ultra is atleast $10k. I love it though. Barely any maintenance and it rips.

as someone who rides emotos and loves them, don't fall for the hype on this bike. there are folks on YT showing the real world range at about 20 to 25 miles and less if your pinned all the time. The quality is shit on sur rons. No warranty. Its a cheap china bike. Sure they're are a lot of fun and if you mod them out they can be good. but i'm always breaking parts on my sur ron.

I fully modded a '20 Lite Bee and raced hare scrambles and never broke in 3 years. I like my stock Ultra much more. Of course I changed wheels and chain and prefer trails on the D mode and get 35+ miles living at Rampart Range. That it charges on my rv solar is a bonus. Now Josh, a FACTORY dirtgod, has reaffirmed my original impressions of the bike. Big thanks to Hill for taking the time to review a humble Chinese ebike but a bike that many of us have come to appreciate.

Surrons are covered by warranty as for the range there are alot of variables with the range and alot of it has to do with weight. I average 30 mile rides and I'm usually at 50-60% range and I a heavy set fella ..

Why not just make it radio control and stay in the truck? What's next

Yeah it took your abuse for that 10 minutes but unfortunately i doubt it would make 10 hours, let alone 100 like a real dirtbike
