Hello! Thank you for the kind words and yes, I am doing GREAT thanks for asking. That is funny that people told you it wouldn't be painful during PT. I had experienced the complete opposite. In fact, the first time I went to PT they asked me what I was there for, what was my injury? I told them a rotator cuff and heard gasps from everyone within earshot. Then the nice lady at the desk informed me that it's the worst recovery in PT that anybody can go through. So yes, to answer your question, I was very much in pain during PT while they were trying to increase my range of motion breaking the muscles loose again was painful. Yeah, but with that in mind, you have to stick with it because PT is very important to a good recovery. I wish you the best luck on your recovery. God bless!

@@clu801 i really appreciate you taking the time to reply, thank you very much! It's quite reassuring to hear your experience as well, that there is indeed a lot of pain involved. I really had no idea it'd be this rough. It is manageable, but I'm glad noone sees me besides my PT when I'm moaning like hell due to the pain of the exercises 😅. Thanks again and all the best!

Hello, thank you for your comment! First, I am sorry you are going through this recovery. The fear of re-injury during recovery was always there for me. It drove me nuts. And yes, it will be a while before you are getting normal sleep, but it does start getting better each week. As for the bicep. I remember having pains in lots of strange places that were not near the injury or surgical site. I think my PT told me that it is muscles overcompensating or even struggling after not being used for so long. For me, it was like right above my elbow, not quite triceps or biceps, and it would just feel very sore all the time. I wish you the best on your recovery, hang in there as it gets easier week by week. God bless!

Thank you so much for getting back to me. Hopefully I someday make a full recovery like you did. I honestly feel like I did at 7 weeks like I did prior to surgery which I s very discouraging. I had felt so much better weeks 1 through 6. It’s hard for me to imagine that this pain at this stage is normal. Hearing from you that it is from your experience is encouraging that it’s part of the healing process.

For sure not a quick fix. Took me a full year to start feeling normal.

Thank you so much for the comment! I pray that your rotator is found to be intact so you will not need this horrendous surgery. My daughter plays Cello and I love it. So please get better and play that beautiful instrument! Good luck and God bless!

Perfect comment from a person that is angry with life and feels the need to be an internet tough guy 🤣 I never mentioned the graphics kit that my son picked. Or what type of bars to get, just 'riser' bars. But hey, you really showed me with your witty comment. Thanks!

@@clu801 Hehe 🤣 I've been building ebikes for nearly a decade now, let me say what I've got to say son. Sorry that you have to project your feelings onto me

Less dangerous rubber isn’t as liable to catch fire.

Also you won’t be changing the cardboard every 3 uses

Also this Air Wedge can be found for $9.00

U selling it? ​@@clu801

@@chrisarsov9818 nah. Just letting people know as a good solution. Here’s a link for Amazon. amzn.to/3W5hi0M

Hey thanks for the comment! Thats awesome we both have 2 bikes ;) Great tip on the Air Wedge I will pay attention to where it's at next time. I haven't had any issues yet but better safe than sorry. Yes. when I got the flow wheel it came 'Dished' to the side to not rub on the knobbies👍

LMAO. I love the double SMH. Got me rollin. thanks for the lesson.

@@clu801 its blah lol i jeep hearing it. It got to me lol i just bout the 72v surge. So i been binge watching stuff on the torp and the batteries. Btw im a huge torp supporter

Nice, Yeah the Torp is holding up really well. The surge looks nice, I like the stock fit part.

@@clu801 yeah that was my main selling point lol. The full stock drop in size.

Thanks! I appreciate it. I would say go for it! If you like to do it why not? I enjoy making the vids, it gives me reasons to ride and work on upgrades or editing. I just enjoy it.

@@clu801 it’s okay man and cheers for the advice dude.

Good luck. Let me know when you get vids up and I will check it out. Love build vids!

@@clu801 oh no way nice thanks my man you just gained yourself a sub and I definitely will mate

Yes, this is one of the reasons I have not gone to a direct Mount stem yet, is because my brake cables are definitely not long enough. I had to move the brake levers in just going to the riser handlebar. So I will wait until I get new brakes and I’ll get a direct stem mount as well at the same time.

I would say the big difference would be that there is more wiggle room where the spring goes in the Amazon footpegs, this lets the spring move side to side and can come undone, which I solved by just putting a ziptie in there so the spring will not move back and forth. Other than that, I couldn't really see a difference. My cheap footpegs have held up great.

Thanks bro! You got the KO or thinking about it?

Hi, thanks for watching and your kind words! Yeah, my sling off at 5 weeks was nice. I definitely started PT later than you. At 5 weeks my shoulder was very tight and I, like you, was super paranoid about re-injury. The tightness and soreness is totally normal. Easy for me to say, but I know you will still be worried. It's part of the recovery ;) I did drive right after the sling came off. It wasn't too bad. Just have to be mindful of everything going on. Keep your spirits up! that is the best thing I can offer. It is very depressing to not be able to do things. But time will go by quicker and quicker as you go and next thing you know you will be back to your old self! I wish you the best! God bless!

Appreciate the reply and answering my questions. It’s very encouraging to hear that I am on the road to recovery. Also, happy to see in your later videos your progress and full recovery! God Bless

Thanks for watching! It was a lot of fun, those trails were a good combination of Tech and flow and I really enjoyed it.

I am not sure what that is to be honest. I used a pulley to raise my arm up to help with my range of motion. If that is what you mean. But I don't know about a chair like that, Interesting though.

Nice! thanks for the comment! I am glad you found the videos to be helpful. Keep at it and you will be through it before you know it! Good luck on the rest of your recovery!

Cheers! Thanks for watching. I am grateful to have these trails so close to home 😁

I am guessing the trail was approved for Moto? Sounds fun for sure! Here the bikers are pretty reasonable. I still run into a few Karen’s here and there, but for the most part people are pretty cool.

Tell them you're disabled and you're testing a new environmentally friendly single track wheelchair - they'll love that sh1t is Portland. If they say anything else negative, just call them race-ist.

Thank you for your comment! I am so glad the videos help give people hope. There is a light at the end of that dark tunnel. You go this! Keep your spirits up and you have my best wishes on your recovery! God bless!

I really like just a flat linear line with no curve feels the best to me

Thank you for the comment!

Thank you for the comment, and I am sorry you are going through this recovery! At least you are past the worst part and everyday will get better little by little. Hang in there and you have my best wishes on a speedy recovery! God Bless!

haha Nice! I know the exact scene you are talking about. He is coming up that hill bouncing and passing the shed. What a great movie! Thank for the comment!

Are you using the stock kickstand? I was also thinking the bike would just tip over since it is much taller. Honestly I haven't been to upset with not having the kickstand. I thought I would be super bummed. But it's not that bad.

@@clu801 Yes using stock kickstand. However, I used a 1 inch hole saw bit and took it to a hockey puck And then screwed it to the bottom of the kickstand as a riser. Counter sunk the screw in the bottom of the hockey puck. It works great now

The controller and Battery Links can be found in the description. Any increase in power will surely drain battery faster. But its way more fun!

3.5. I didn’t see any extra bolt for the kickstand. I think the bike would tip over anyway to kickstand is too short.

Thanks! They are holding up well and look great!

Here is the thing. I think it could be worth it if you try to register it. They are great bikes for that purpose. Here are the things to think about. If you register it. You will have to pay taxes on it, insure it, etc. Also another thing to consider is that Sur-ron's have an actual VIN / Serial that can show up in the database making them much easier to register than other bikes. Keep that in mind. If all this sounds like way too much to deal with, its probably not worth.

I feel like there are so many e-moto's out there now they can't just ignore it anymore. I used to ride by cops all the time with no issue. I think the safest thing to do now would be to try and get it registered. As for stunting. Lol that is very risky since they will hit you with a reckless driving citation which can be very expensive.

Hey thanks for the comment! First, I am sorry you are going through it. It has to be the worst thing I have endured. Second, you can get back to 💯. Here I am many years later and I don't even think about it when I am out riding dirt bikes or playing sports. Since this surgery I have broken my opposite collar bone and still didn't really think about the rotator until I was recovering from the collarbone break. It was like 5% of the anguish of the rotator, and I was in a good mood most of the time because I knew it would be a cake walk in comparison. So yeah, hang in there, do the things they tell you to do and be religious about it. I wish you the best on your recovery! God bless!

@@clu801 thanks brother , glad to hear your really active and enjoying riding and all that again . Gives me a lot of hope ! Peace ✌️ be safe

Hello! I am so sorry you are going through it right now. It's super scary to think about re-injury. I am pretty sure I was lifting 15lbs around then. I know I overdid it a few times and was sore and super worried. Think about where the pain is. Is it right where the repair was? Or is it more muscle. I know its hard to tell but I would imagine that you just strained your muscle/tendon and its sore. I am not the Dr. or an expert by any means. I know when I was scared my Dr. told me I would know if it was re-injured. That didn't really comfort me, how could he be so sure. I was scared to death because its the worst thing ever to go through. I suggest taking it easy on your shoulder for a bit. Make sure to take some anti-inflammatory meds. Ice it more often. See how it comes along. You have my best wishes! Good luck and God bless!

@@clu801 Thank you so much for your reply! Your words did comfort me a bit, however, I’m still scared as it had been a week and I am still in pain. I did ask my surgeon and physiotherapist a few times as what would cause retear. They both said a sudden fall and have my arm stretch out and land on the arm or shoulder would cause retear. When I’m thinking of my pain, it feels like it’s all over my shoulder and neck and back. Sometimes it does feel the surgical area is painful too. Sometimes the pain goes all the way to my forearm and fingers. I’m not getting any better today and I’m extremely scared. I don’t know if the hike would cause more strain on my shoulder since I had to use my shoulders quite a bit with hiking poles. We still got so much snow in the mountains(Canada). I saw my chiropractor last Thursday and he said that I strained a bit and had shockwave treatment. I’m seeing him tomorrow again and see what he says. I’m seeing another surgeon on Thursday and really hope that she would say the same thing. I really appreciate your kind words and wishes. I’ll update with you after I see the surgeon. Thanks again! Kayla

@@clu801Hi! I just want to update with you regarding my doctor visit. Good news is that she said i did not ruin the repair as I did not lose any strength. She said that’s the best indicator that I didn’t retear the tendon. She also said that the pain might last up to 6 weeks. Because what I have been through (having frozen shoulder and had to go through manipulation under anesthesia) would put me full recovery up to 1 year and half. I’m getting better and have to be more patient. My recovery got delayed than most patients. Patience, patience, and patience is the key! Thank you again and I’ll keep positive attitude!

I totally get it, it is scary to think about re-injury. Be sure to ask people for help. You would be surprised how much help you will get. Hang in there and you will be doing great. God bless!

@clu801 some people will help, while some will hide when I need help I can't find them. My doctor wants me to wait a little longer. Thanks for responding.

@@VelroneRamdon That is good, listen to the Dr. You have my best wishes on the rest of your recovery!

@@clu801 Thank you

Yes, I am sure you would. If you want 100% guarantee, reach out to them. They are great at responding communication. Remember they are in Croatia so it may be next day. 👍

they are both 2022 LBX. My son's bike at the time of this video had a Torp TC500 controller. The rest is all cosmetic (seat cover, graphics, handlebar, footpegs, etc) His bike now has my 16/19 wheelset and a 3/4" riser on the rear shock.

Hi, thanks for watching! I am back to the way I was before. I rarely think about that shoulder and the injury. As much as a nightmare it was it was worth it for me. If you are planning on doing the surgery or have done it already you have my best wishes.

Thanks for the response I'm two weeks out before surgery and your videos help thanks ​@@clu801

I'm two weeks out before surgery and your videos helped thanks ​@@clu801

Hey, thanks for watching, you are right it is for the Bluetooth module. I appreciate the comment for sure.

Yeah, I am fully recovered now. Thanks for asking 👍 I was on my MTB passing an elderly couple on a bike trail, and I said "On your left" the lady went to the left and I had to crash to avoid hitting her. I outstretched my hands to brace for the fall and my left side slid and the right stuck and tore my rotator. 😒

Thanks for watching! It does make taking my Surron anywhere quick easy and quick. 👍

Any idea when they will be back in stock??

@@andymcvicker4274Preorders will be open in a few days for our new carrier that works with more bikes than just the Surron!

North Canyon Trail in North Salt Lake City, Utah

Haha. what an eye. I went to original footage, it is a helicopter 👍

Totally agree, can be made for way cheaper. A) if you have a welder, B) if the cost for you time is still less than buying it. :) It is a great item for sure!

Nice! Congrats on your purchase! You are about to have so much fun on that bike. If you do get the carrier, I am sure you will enjoy it.

Yeah man. Its even faster to load a bike on this than a truck if I am being honest.

Hell ya! Thanks! Not many people know what it is 👍

You are definitely not alone. I am sorry you are going through this, and the only comfort I can bring is that it WILL get better. You WILL be glad you did it down the road. You have my best wishes on your recovery! God bless!

Yes! Totally. Not many people want to mess around with taking the front wheel off but it makes putting in your car a ton easier! Also look for a video from me releasing tomorrow about a hitch carrier I got that makes taking my bike anywhere even easier. If i want to take 2 Surrons now I can put one in the back of my RAV and one on the carrier.

Yeah, I would love to get an extended. Just not able to justify the money for it yet.

I am glad the videos help! Its been 4 years and I have been doing much better on that 'other' shoulder. Doing exercises and things every now and then, or if I feel it. So ya, no way I am getting that surgery again! Good luck with the rest of your recovery! You got this!
