If you're somewhere the laws are gray, it's an electric mountain bike. Cops will generally leave you alone a long as you're not being a douche or riding dangerously. Most times they don't feel like being bothered with stupid infractions that they don't even know the codes for. Just stay away from ATV riders in the streets illegally. They'll get you sucked into their drama with the cops.
You seem so damn chill! Love it. Thanks for clarifying some issues with it. But I'm definitely getting it this coming spring 🤙🏻
That trail is absolutely beautiful, reminds me of the scenery from the movie 'The place Beyond the Pines'. That movie made me fall in love with dirt bikes.
Great video, thanks for uploading 🤙
Excellent review. Thank you so much for putting this out brother.
Those are some pretty dope trails you've got... if you really wanna ride downtown without a care in the world get the kaniwaba electric pas pedal kit.
Nice review and the bike is just super fun to ride even with its minor issues. As most, part shortages are just about in everything these days. They’re are other sites outside Luna you can get items for .
Is it actually only 59 dollars or is that bs
@@HunterBillBJJit’s bs
That's what I thought about to I wanted to ride to work with it to and where would you put a plate
Just got an X260, but I can't get it to connect to the app.
Any tips?
Great video, DO NOT RELY ON LUNA AT ALL. I've had my sur ron for a while and you have to do your own research and find parts and and you tube is your best friend.
There is a video of someone on CZcams that was able to register the b ike with the DMV and put a license plate on it using the number that's on the bike. But I guess it varies by state. Another option you have if you mostly plan to drive it on the street put a pedal kit on it. There this Colombian company called Kaniwaba that has the best fully functional pedal kits for this bike in my opinion.
Riding like that on trails and keeping a low profile is an awesome idea! I was looking at these here in VA and it does not fall under the e-bike law because it does not have pedals. The best I can tell it could fall under an e-scooter OR a moped. The good part about a moped is that if it has two wheels, a motor smaller that 1500 watts, and you keep it 35 and under it is exempt from registration. Cars will not know that you are not a regular biker. However, you best set the speed limit to 35mph because if it goes faster it is considered a motorcycle. That means if you get stopped you can get thrashed with unregistered motor vehicle, uninspected motor vehicle, no motorcycle license, no insurance, and like ten other undesirable things. Most likely they will tell you to slow down but I dont like to bank on that. At least towing probably isnt an issue you would just have to push it home...
I've been riding it around downtown San Jose for the last few months and haven't had any issues, keeping my fingers crossed!
Where do you get break pads and inner tubes from?
Most of the problems you’ve described are common to dirt bikes. In some states, maybe most, it’s easy to make dirt bikes street legal by adding appropriate lights and mirrors. Very easy in my state. Probably not in California.
Doing a good job, you have the gift for getting the word out. Very well done.
Thank you, I appreciate that!
Great video good info awesome riding those trails are sick
Thanks David, glad you enjoyed the video!
Things we would never think of. Great info & video. Thanks
Glad it was helpful, thanks for watching!
You're a smart guy. Don't sell yourself short. When it comes to repairing things look it up on youtube. You can find instructional videos on virtually anything, especially changing a tire, and there are plenty of tire and tube options for these bikes. Lots of videos about these bikes and aftermarket parts. You should be using Shimano brake pads for this anyway. Take the time to watch more videos on youtube. Then invest in some simple inexpensive tools. If you just take the time to educate yourself you can do most anything. It's not rocket science.
Yeah, you have a good point and you have a good mindset. But, LoL, it's enough for me to just wash the bike....
If you want to ride it on bike tracks, you should get the pedal kit so that it’s technically an electric bike
I'm looking to do the same. Spoke with local police and in my area, a pedal kit and roads listed as 30mph and under should be all clear for me. Also going about 10mph on rail trails seems okay too. Very vague guidelines but looking to make this purchase actually worth it, otherwise I would have just looked into a motorcycle 😂
Who cares? As long as he’s not bothering anyone?
@@brittanybradford9239 Yeah, but if you get enough knuckle-heads with bikes of this type acting stupid and then people complain to the mayor and the police....
@@You-Toober True that. People can ruin it for the rest, I hope that never happens because I'm looking to get one of these dope bikes
Or do the pedal motions when people or cops are about
Is this Stewart from Letterkenny? Great video, Luna is a pain to deal with but there are a TON of other shops and the bike uses a lot of universal sizes.
Roald should be helping him
Wow. And these are the men that are protecting our country. God bless America.
I'm going thru all the diff scenarios myself for this bike. Glad someone at least considered discussing because vids I see people are lawlessly driving around long beach in these or just on dirt roads/private property..neither apply to me..I want to ride on roads to get to be somewhat practical
U have surron version that u can register. With big light in front. Or u can out pedals and be electric bycicle. Kinda
@@First.Last.99 kaniwaba has electric pas pedal kit now.
@@MotoAlias yup, or non electric one which is also fine
@@First.Last.99 either or... but ya I just noticed the other day that kaniwaba has a full electric pas kit.. it's pretty impressive... I'm in the market for a bike right now... I kinda really like the time et bike but for legal reasons I may go with the surron since it's got a pedal kit that's so simple and works great. I could get the time et bike and figure a way to register it then not need pedals idk.
@@MotoAlias hey, did u get a bike? I also want to get a x260, but scared to death to get pulled over and loose my license, because of this bike, so
Taking the rear wheel off isn't too bad. Start by turning the wheel till you can see the chain master link, and have easy access to it. Remove brake caliper. Adjust chain to give a little slack/little droop. Remove the clip on the chain master link, remove the master link, and unwrap the chain from the wheel cog only. Loosen rear wheel axle. Take off wheel. I took the wheel axle completely out, and removed both the cog and brake rotor so I could mount the wheel on a harbor freight bike tire changer. The install is reverse, but make sure to adjust the chain evenly on both sides so the chain isn't cocked and binding. There's adjustment markers carved into the frame to ensure even adjustment on both sides. Hope this helps.
Thanks for the insight, I'll keep that in mind! I'm about to change the tires in the next couple days.
You don’t have to disassemble the chain to take the tire off.
Are you doing another season of Cobra Kai?
😂🤣😂
Yo!!!!!!
I knew someone would say this
🤣
That's hilarious 😂
Good video, trail looks fun
Really nice review, I enjoyed alot , where is that place anyway ?? Its awesome
Saratoga, CA
Hey dude, didn't ya put that front fender on backward? Longest part usually goes toward the back. It makes sense but I could be wrong...
That’s the way it looks in the pictures, haha.
Nice review. I saw the pedal kits, that could help the legality part
Good call!
Our town allows offroad vehicles and golfcarts except on certain main streets. Cars have the right away. Has to be insured though and can't be doing dangerous stuff like stunts or going too fast.
The Sur-ron limited to 30mph in UK costs £55 to register needs a number plate registration number displayed has to be insured you have to wear a helmet and it has to be MOTd every year after three years. It's treated as a limited speed moped.
That's awesome, we don't have that type of process here in California but I've been riding it everywhere lately and I haven't had any problems!
Awesome trail and a pretty good review 👍 to
Right on, glad you enjoyed it!
I always though the gray areas aren't so gray it has to have pedals number one.
Aside from the price the x260 is the same exact bike as the sur ron x. You can also get the x160 and upgrade from there. That's what im currently doing. I used to have a sur ron x with the 72v bac4000
Surron better no crappy Segway app and way more support if you have any issues.
@@scottnelson8153 you do know that you can take off the Bluetooth right? The Segway is the exact same bike.
@@tintin6291 I have tired to take it off the blue tooth if you know of a way. Pls share!!
@@tintin6291 are you going to tell me how to disconnect the app or Bluetooth? It would be much appreciated!! Because I’ve tired everything I can find online and what Segway told me with no luck! And there are a bunch of people w the same issue on the Segway forum.
@@scottnelson8153 it's in the seat
I don't know about you, but if you know what you're looking to replace, then you just have to put in "SurRon (insert part name)" and there will be 100's of stores selling those parts and not just Luna. Even upgraded parts often the same price as OEM parts. Then again this was filmed almost 2 years ago so who knows what it was like getting stuff then :/
Great review
Thanks!
Definitely recommend everyone who wants the bike to do some research and watch sur ron youtubers to learn where to get replacement parts, upgrades, and how to do maintenance for the bike.
Considering this bike… good video to consider
Thanks David!
You can get a pedal kit for this and then it’s pretty much legal everywhere you can ride any e-bike
Whats better the segway x260 or the surron lbx?
Depends on your situation.
I have samme problem live in sweden illegal / legal but if u put pedals and speed limit
25km/h its ok when i read the law! but like u say They Will stop u any whay and say this is illegal and Ask many things 🤯
I like your honesty… most guys pretend to be master mechanics and do everything wrong
Thanks, I try my best!
Did I just make a terrible mistake by choosing to purchase the X260 when living in London, England?
No. You gotta start somewhere.
Good video 👍
Thanks dude 🤙
Yea, this is why I've been debating on getting an e-scooter. I just would prefer to sit, lol
what im seeing in a lot of videos is the tubes are super weak, many replace them with heavy duty before the first ride on a trail lol
I haven't had any problems since I replaced mine!
Where can I get one I’ve been looking everywhere ?
They're back in stock now!
I'd love to ride my honda there😮
Could you name the sites your using to get your extras?
I've been using Ebikezilla!
Does it have a wire you need to cut?
Haven't done that yet but I've been thinking about it!
HELLO WILLIAM CAN YOU PUT STREET TIRE ON THE BIKE
YES!
You look like Robby from cobra Kai. Btw great vid
Thanks, someone else said that too!
U can always find parts for segway/surron but u need to look
I've been using Ebikezilla!
Also, slap a pedal kit from Kaniwaba on. DId it on my girl's bike, and I ride an Onyx RCR. Police here don't care as long as you have pedals.
great video keep it up
I keep getting ads on tiktok where ppl have these listed as low as $109.😐
60$ now
Legit that low price?? From what site??
"If it sounds too good to be true...."
Don't fall for it!
@@JadeAllenCook too late. I paid $117 with shipping, and they sent me a broken space heater 😐
if you beat on something off road, it will need repair. didnt think that would have to be explained...
Dude, It's A Pandemic.
I've been waiting over 3 months for springs for my Jeep Wrangler to be back in stock because manufacturing, shipping, etc is still months behind for some products.
Correction... it's a PLANdemic
For real he just wants to whine a bit.
Its a plandemic
Ya para que ya compré una cuando llegue compro otra
¡Que te diviertas!
Enjoy your bike and DONT look for problems or expect them. It’s a mental thing, relax and enjoy bro 😎
Thanks dude!
Dude where can I get a purple rain t-shirt
Hot Topic!
is it true that it cost 100 $ and on which site ?
Yeah which site
I've heard that it's a scam but I haven't tried it myself.
"If it sounds too good to be true...."
I can't understand why the law makes things so difficult to ride e bikes people who have done basic motorcycle training should have no problem riding one with an helmet take this kid for example he sounds like a he's got a sensible head on his shoulders and respects others around him while riding and do these have a vin number?
Because its not really about safety its about control and revenue
I think it's probably because technology advances too fast for government to keep up, I'm not sure if it has a VIN number.
Get the power pedal kit and limit it to 28 mph and it's street legal ebike in most states
Good idea!
Man I understand some people may not have extensive mechanic knowledge but being a wuss definitely doesn't help give that thang hell and have some fun.
You can put the pedal kit on it.... Then it's an electric bike.... It's not an electric bicycle, because it has not pedal cranks...
So you fell, it broke. Other guy jumped and both tires deflated. Not a reasonable buy, at all. Honda, ktm, kawa or yam will for sure make them later. Im not buying cheap Chinese 3h battery life that brings problems when you USE it
How do u make a living to be able to rv? The dream!!
I'm a software engineer!
beautiful man
Thank you, cheers!
Where is the 3rd party website you found
EBikeZilla
Wow Jade you have got some balls I could never do that on my ebike bro i take my hat off to you 😒
Sounds like this is some issues with the global supply chain
I've been having pretty good luck with Ebikezilla!
You know if its not technically a "vehicle" it cant be impounded unless you are arrested while operating it.
sounds like you pulled that bit of knowledge outa your butt.
Thanks, I'll keep that in mind!
luna sucks there's plenty of places to get parts man get ebay on your phone for starts lol
Worldwide supply chain issues many sectors have problems with it
Unfortunately this is true but I've had pretty good luck on Ebikezilla!
In order to get a plate for it it would need to be street legal... in order to be street legal it would need brake and turn signal lights and maybe more...
Thanks for the advice, I've been riding it around downtown and haven't had any issues so far!
Bicycles dont have all of that, and they are street legal. Id say 90% of it is common sense. Ride it like you would a regular bicycle when in towns, use the bike lanes, dont be hotrodding and you would be fine.
That one reason i won't be able ride bike where i live just get me in trouble. I have electric scooter does 37 mph i get look from cops of course i slow down 20 mph which the legal limit on these type of bike. save my $4k
I've been thinking about getting an electric scooter recently. Segway is coming out with one that goes like 45mph and has around a 70 mile range!
Wow
Thanks for commenting!
sounds like something out The Jetson's😂
How fast that thing go?!
Around 45MPH on a flat road.
She appears to be a lot of fun
Did you just assume my bikes gender? 😂
Try yatri p1
Aye, that's pretty cool!
An eMotorcycle is problematic in many ways, and yet.... The technology evolves faster than the laws, but not fast enough quite yet to be both a dirt bike and a touring bike. ...and yet, if you stick with it, this is a good way to die, seriously, which is most excellent, especially if it is and yet you don't. Stay well, and safe-ish!
Thank you!
Bro, see if you can go tubeless and get some slime in the tires only way to go off-road.
Haven’t had any issues since I’ve added slime!
75 dll on mexico
Too good to be true!
Why not get a new one
I've been thinking about it!
Do u need a license?
Not that I know of.
😳 Wow!🤔🤣😂Now who in the hell is going to really listen to you telling your reason why you may not want to buy a Segway X260🥴?🤗The way you ride it in this video so effortless with out a care in the world of your battery life and the way lol you ride it so far away from where you started .Wow lol and 😱 remember your way back to home😉👍 !😳 Wow you should really be getting a big endorsement from Segway for advertising there X260 the way you do so well .And they should be sending you out accessory you need for you X260 free🤨 .So I digress lol because you haven't convinced me lol are many other people not to buy one 😉👍!And they are sold out of my BestBuy😭🤪👎.
bruh did you get stuck on the emoji keyboard?
That fender is like "Fuck". Anyways
I need a driver's license?
Depends on where you live.
Put pedal on it and you could ride it anywhere.
That's what I've heard!
Meow,thanx
Legally it’s probably same rules as bicycles
Haven’t had any issues here in California but I did when I lived in Texas.
Holy crap you can’t change a tube. This generation is going to die if we loose the internet or technology
It’s hard, even a bike shop couldn’t get it off 😂 I ended up having to take the wheel to a dirt bike shop to get the tire or the rim haha
And if anybody else on here disagrees with me I really don't care
You tell em!
Probably coz that isn't a Sur ron
From my understanding, Sur Ron makes the bikes for Segway.
Bought one 5 mins before watching this video lol
It's very hard to find something not to like about this bike!
But for the $70 that’s pretty good
Where do you get it ?? Did you order it?
@@downoftheweed1357 Facebook brand new they’re all out though
@@HONDA__350x Did you order yours?? I heard its a scum those e-shops
@@downoftheweed1357 Yeah but hasn’t came yet
@@HONDA__350x i wish to get your bike my friend!! Let me know if its a scum to report them
Shortages in China are killing all supply chains.

Just bought one for $70, I couldn't pass it up. I'm seriously considering buying 2 more to sell.
Do you already have it now?
From?? Did it came??
I bought one yesterday did yours ever come in
@@Dmanrider never came. I usually know better, I thought facebook would do a better job filtering scams out but they dont
@@michaeltrujillo5068 okay. Phew. This is what I was worried about. Glad I seen this.
I bet those two Karens with the little dog wearing masks outside called someone...
I've only ever really had problems in Texas.
Dude if u can't change a tube go get a peg
Thanks Jon 😂
