- March 29, 2020 my first ride on my Segway. Some initial thoughts- it fills the gap between a BMX bike and a dirt bike but definitely leans more toward the BMX side of things.

You’re not gonna have a good time on eco mode. Sport mode is the only way to go. Also, the battery starts lasting much longer after a couple rides.
The weight level thing can be adjusted by the handle bars 🍻
Why would you have to “break in” an electric dirt bike?
To get use to the power delivery and using the bike.
@@frankparisi2433 so you’re breaking in the rider, not the bike.
Thanks for your review. It turned out very useful. Soon this model will appear in Russia, I want to be the first to buy it. I really want to buy this electric monster
I just bought this thing and it hasn't arrived yet, when it arrives I want to be prepared, so any advice on the bike? Like in general 😂
Saw another youtube video where someone only got 18 miles with 15% battery left in sport mode. Pretty lame range if that is the case for $4500.00. The regeneration they posted was only 2% going downhill and was not worth to engage as it didn't increase battery power. Great looking and light, but I am not going to be dropping that dough for only 20-25 miles of sport riding. Maybe next year or model when the Battery systems improve with Panasonic and Tesla new batteries coming on line.
I'm a bit confused why did you end up buying the bike and paying extra for the segway logo? And you were wondering about slow acceleration because it has 6kw peak power at stock and you were riding it on eco mode?
And also I would like to hear why would you buy it if you have no plans of upgrading the battery and controller?
I didn't know much about Sur Rons before getting this thing. Been looking at a batt and controller but I seriously doubt the wheels and suspension is going to last off road with that power and my weight.
@@BarryShaffer just suprised to hear that anyone would buy a product with no research. Especially because it seemed like you were almost conplaining about how much it costs.
There are tons and tons of customations you can do to this bike. New suspension and wheels is a given thing for everyone who buys this.
That's why it seems very odd to pay extra for a plain sticker that says segway. But I guess money is not a problem xD
BossManaatti yup total impulse buy. I thought It’d be a fun toy, I research things I’m serious about that I plan on owning for a long time. Not this. Personally, I never understood the whole mentality of buying buying something with the intent of upgrading most of the major components when new. I come from a dirt bike background and saw guys spend $2-3k blinging out a $7k Kawasaki just to get it to the level of a bone stock KTM that they could have bought for $9-10k. If I were serious, I’d build from the ground up but I guess my issue with the SurRon / Segway class of bike is, for me and the off-road terrain available here in Az, it won’t replace a 300 2t- even with 72v lightspeed bat and BAC4000 controller and upgraded suspension and upgraded brakes and tires and wheels and...
Cool video! How has it been keeping up? Any issues?
Metal Virus I actually got new tires upgraded the handlebars and gearing rode it a couple more times and then turned around and sold it. There just aren’t enough opportunities to ride it around my area. The places I can ride it I would rather ride my dirt bike..
How many miles can it goes by 1 charge (in reality)?
I was into the electric mountain bike thing for a bit but realized there just junk compared to a dirt bike.Only real benefit is there quiet and you can ride them more places but for the price just ride a dual sport motorcycle if you want street and off-road use.Better range ,better speed ,better suspension ,better parts all around and definitely better handling .
Electric dirt bikes??
Barry did you cut the green wire with the black stripe? That's what you have to do to get the full power out of the bike. They have to ship the bikes "street" legal for all countries. I have a SurRon & the X260 and once you cut the wire they are pretty damn fast but no longer "street" legal in Sport mode.
No, if I'm gonna mod it, I'll probably do a 72v battery and a different controller....
@@BarryShaffer does your bike go 45 mph in sport mode?
@@BarryShaffer if it's not doing 45 mph in sport mode that's because you have to cut the wire. Did both my SurRon & my X260 , they are flying.
@@benriding8678 it'll hit 45-47 on the street without cutting the wire. But only after activiting it with the Segway app over Bluetooth.
hi Ben what else do you like about the x260 Segway?:)
Definitely a single track beast. I have a Ktm as well, but this bike is great on tight stuff. Take off the brake sensors on the handlebars before you go. 👍🏻
Heard. Will look for some tight stuff this weekend. No brake sensors to remove on this guy. Segway must consider this for advanced riders? My ebike has them.
Barry Shaffer the brake sensors on the sur ron make it unridable if you are a dirt biker that is used to trailing a little rear brake when on the “gas”. Interesting that they took it off the Segways. I heard the segways come with a limited top speed, on sur rons some bikes come that way and you must cut a wire to activate the full potential, not a lot of info on the Segways yet. Keep making vids man! 🤙🏻
You can disable the brake sensor in the Segway App. It's a must. Also, sport mode really wakes it up. The eco mode seems irrelevant unless you are trying to maximize range. 🤙
Do you like riding this better in single track compared to your KTM? I had a KTM 200 XCW and it was pretty nice in the single track. Also, how does it hold up with small log crossings etc? Is it easy to get the front wheel up and over at slow to medium speeds for that stuff? Thanks!
NostalgiaRider46 the KTM is the ultimate machine. The ground clearance is much less on the Sur Ron so you’ll need to adjust for that. But unless you are doing big mountain hill climbs, the Sur Ron will be very quick in the woods!
How's it holding up? Thinking about buying one In stock next week!
I ended up selling it. Found that I could only ride it (legally) in the same places I ride my dirt bike and my dirt bike is more fun
@@BarryShaffer thank you for that comment. I don't have anywhere cool to ride besides around my land. I've been looking at used dirtbikes for a while but can't find one that's not thrashed. So figured same price buy one with no engine
Buy an Alta
Sir where is market this bike
Please reply
Bro not in India
He starts riding the back at 5:50
ราคาเท่าไรครับ
Do you need a motorcycle license to drive one of these? Thanks
I don’t think so because it is not considered a motor cycle atleast I don’t think and it’s not gas powered so I think even a kid could ride it
whats the price tag on these?
$3k shipped think you can save a few bucks buying a Surron which is the bike that Segway slapped their branding on.
@@BarryShaffer $5k for the Segway 3.5k for the Sur-Ron
@@shredmas don't think I'd pay $5k for this bike.
@barry Shaffer did you pay for this bike? Would you ever want to sell it
What's the price and where do you get one I can find the surron but not this
You don’t need to break in anything with a electric drive system !!!!
@Lan Astaslem 11 likes tho
MOTO : matst of the Obvious
I just watched a video of a guy doing a review flying down and up hills of sport mode your on eci comparing it to a dirt bike its a bike not a motor cycle friend
They need a car next
Top speed
fab lan there’s one that goes 30 and one that goes 40 mph
With a better controller it can go upto 60mph
Nice Sur Ron
Segway isn't trying to steal the thunder genius, small Google search would inform you Segway is largest share holder in Sur Ron. Great for the consumer!
Did you break in your electric bike yet? Lol🤦♂️
You dont seem to happy?
Not sure yet, a second hand dirt bike would be more capable for the same money. You could also buy a pretty decent mountain bike for the price of this thing...
@@BarryShaffer looks decent but for the price and made in CHINA, think I'll pass!
@@hightidelowtide6380 Do have an american made alternative for the same price?
Kevin Schmidt yes I’m pretty sure the Sur Ron is American made and this company actually uses the same design as the sur ron.
Fag 1000 false. Both are Chinese. You can’t get US product this good for the price.
All you do is criticize and put down every single part of the bike in the video, just by the names of the components). What did you expect for a $3k bike 😂
You want to sell it
Already did
RIP offffff!!@ all distributors are RIOFFFFFFFFF
