- In this video, I showcase the newly fitted Shinko 244 tires (front and rear are identical) and new Shimano HO3A Ceramic Resin Brake Pads with cooling fins! The stability and stopping power of the Surron are greatly improved with these two affordable and popular upgrades. Do you have any modifications to your Surron or other ebike? Leave a comment below!

killin these videos dawg!
Thank you!!
Another not exspensive upgrade is a bigger sprocket & a non o’ ring chain. I went with an alum 54 tooth sprocket. ( it’s also 1 lb lighter than stock) non o ring way less drag . It all helps . I didn’t get those tires because of the heavier weight & I ride sand & dirt . Those still have to be better than stock . I really thought about those . There nice tires for dual purpose conditions .
Agreed!!
try shinko 241s!! theyre way lighter! still full knobs. my friend has hella light weight Shinko 241s on his surron!! theyre sick af we go riding together off-road all the time. You should keep the o-ring chain tho unless you trust yourself to clean VERY frequently. if youre going off-road id suggest an o-ring chain due to decreased mainainance intervals. although this is coming from a motorcyclist with a drz400sm (with shinko 244s- how i got here xD) you really want a wheelie do everything go anywhere machine thats faster than a surron? get a drz400sm. theyre better for the environment than battery powered EVs too :) i still take the sidewalk and bike trails when i want to haha. wish my friend with the surron would street legal his dirt bike so i dont have to go so slow when we ride lol
So sick! Thanks for the info, I appreciate it!!
Great content, just subscribed. I bought the Shinko 244 but haven't put them on yet. My surron's new and the stock tires, obviously new as well. I usually ride on street only, but watching so many youtubers riding on dirt, I'll proably will do also. I'm in Arizona. Btw, what size brake pad are those??
Hey, thank you so much! Here is a link to the pads I bought. They are an amazing upgrade from stock, but the same size and shape as stock (other than some cooling fins that stick out on the top). They are on sale right now for 51% off on Amazon, normally $60 but only $29 right now. I'm going to pick up an extra set for myself...here's the link.....amzn.to/3YS7UgF
@@leetjohnson i don't see the link. I'm still waiting on the regen brake, do to supply issues, but I think, for the kind of rides I do, for now, it will be very benenfical.
@@bongwoophet the link is at the very bottom of my text in the above comment. You may need to hit the "see more" button to see it.
Hi I like to new tires and brakes upgrade. After watching a lot of Surron videos yours are great please add a little end of video comments as to miles and power left when you ended you said 18% was that used or what was left? I am a older person what is wanting to get one but that gray cloud about street and bike trails is making me think-it may be a waste of money if I can only use it off road when I really want to rid it everyday to work you are one of a few riders that is not reckless I have watches lots of them not respectful of people and cars on the road and bike trails thanks. JoP
Thank you for the feedback! I meant to say 18% left, sorry about that. I would say regarding the grey zone and how people feel about them on trails....as long as you slow way down around people and ride carefully, following traffic laws, you shouldn't have any issues. The fact that you care shows that it probably won't be a problem for you. Have a great day!
Tires look sick!! Does it feel like the bike is any slower cause of the added weight (Less torque/top speed)?
Thanks! Yes, I definitely noticed a slower acceleration (torque) and took longer to get to the top speed, but probably only lost 1 or 2 mph from the top end, mostly noticeable uphill....downhill, still hits the same top speed.
Drop the lonk

How are they on the road? would it be better to get SR241 for more road use.
They are very stable but probably a bit heavier than the 241 if you are only going on road.
@@leetjohnson oh wow so you are saying that the 244 are a little heavier than the 241? 🙂
Not sure how much heavier necessarily, but bigger nobbies and more traction for offroad. The 241 will probably have better onroad traction and ride quality compared to the 244s.
@@leetjohnson i tried to get 241s for my drz400sm xD unfortunately im cant find them in my size. theyre the best option though especially for a surron owner! i watch my friend throw rocks all over the place when we ride like its raining pebbles or something lol. he did a water crossing and his back tire bumped into something and he had so much traction under water his tire didnt even slide like youd expect
@Merc399 that's epic! I'm gonna have to get some!
Have you noticed a loss in range? I had the 244s on my talaria and took them off because of the loss of torque and range.
I've noticed some range loss for sure, but not anything major...maybe 1 mile less per charge. Do you ride high speed or mostly offroad? I notice it more on the road riding at high speed. I'm putting a 58t sprocket to compensate.
@@leetjohnson I ride mostly off road. But I noticed it riding across town my range was much less so I switched back to stock it was a pretty significant difference tho
@@MotoAlias yeah, if I didn't need the extra rubber for the offroading, I would probably keep the stock tires too, but I really like how the bike feels with these tires. I'm planning to go BAC4000 soon, and probably 72v eventually.
@@leetjohnson ya I mostly off road so I ordered a 16in rear with some nice knobbies. Try and keep the weight down but gain some traction. Should be here next week. It may affect my power only slightly but when I get an upgraded controller it won't matter.
@@MotoAlias that's a great idea. I have a buddy I ride with that has that setup with a 54t sprocket.
Are the 244s 2.75 19s? I have a 2022 sur ron here in NZ =)
They sure are! Here is the link to where I got them...amzn.to/3NpIIrX
@@leetjohnson Cheers mate.. i wonder top speed with a 58t, would ya say the 244s are taller than stock? as in increased diameter? if so by how much roughly ya reckon?
@@peteythebull812 definitely taller, by at least an inch. Also a bit heavier, but much more stable offroad.
@@leetjohnson sweet! should pair up nicely with the 58t then.. cheers for the info bud =)
@@peteythebull812 anytime! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
I recommend Shinko 241s for a surron over the 244s due to the wiehgt difference and they still come full knobby
I would have to agree with you. The 244 are solid for 72v but for stock, the 241 are a better option. Thanks for watching and commenting!
@@leetjohnson
The 241s don't give the grip off-road.
Let’s rip, we riding tonight
Unfortunately, I'm not available tonight, but any other time, hit me up!
@@leetjohnson you got to get a IG so we can send you messages for group rides trail rides etc
@@northsandiegorc4248 I got rid of Instagram and Facebook long ago....seems to be the way a lot of CZcamsrs communicate though.
@@leetjohnson yeah unfortunately There’s not a easy way of messaging on CZcams.
What kind of bike is that?
A Surron! Check out Luna Cycles website for more info!
@@leetjohnson it's pretty cool.
@@stormw777 Thanks. I absolutely love it!
Just a comment to correct false information - the Shimano brake pads H03A are Organic resin; H03B are semi-metallic; H03C are metallic.
There is no such thing as a Shimano 'ceramic' brake pad.
You are correct, I apologize. For some reason I mix that up in my head. Thank you!
For some reason Amazon has it listed as ceramic in the description area. My apologies.
So what are the best pads to buy? A B or C? At my place they are all the same price
@@johandevries3734 comes down to preference and riding style. I went with the H03C metallic ones, as they tend to last a bit longer than the resin/organic ones. However, people like the resin feel and braking, but wear a but quicker than metal. The resin H03C are on sale right now ($36) on Amazon....amzn.to/3BogkCw
@@leetjohnson Thank you for the quick reply, i live in The Netherlands sadly most of the Amazon deals have to be shipped over seas.
Are you still happy with the shinko's?
Close only counts in horseshoes & hangernades . I agree the stock tires & brake pads are garbage. At first I thought people were just being winers . I put less than 100 miles on stock pads & tires . They were like new tread but they don’t grip & I actually crashes because of both of them . Now it’s 100% better . People spend the $160 .00 right away .
I agree 100%!
