The best attribute to the Sur-Ron X and Segway X260 electric Dirt E bike is it's affordability. It's currently the cheapest electric dirt bike available and these e-bikes have a low cost because they do not come equipped with expensive components.
We all want our bikes to perform well, but adding thousands of dollars worth of high end components defeats the purpose of buying a cheap bike.
One of the best modifications you can do to your Sur-Ron X or Segway X260 is improve the suspension. Most of these bikes come equipped with a DNM Volcano fork and DNM shock and in stock form are not the best option for riding offroad. On the flip side, replacing these suspension components with high end suspension brands like Fox, Rockshox, Ohlins and DVO would cost a couple thousand dollars.
If you're wanting to improve the offroad handling of your Sur-Ron or Segway without spending thousands of dollars, Dirtlabs Suspension can revalve and overhaul your fork and shock to improve it's off-road capabilities. They revalve the fork, make the damper progressively stiffer and replace with high quality oil and seals. Learn more by contacting Dirtlabs here: bit.ly/Dirtlabs

Hi, Thank you for this video. From what I am seeing as far as the Sur Ron X, is that everyone is taking a cool little and affordable e-dirt bike and trying to make it into a KTM free ride. As an ex-SX/MX racer, now older wanting a fun bike for single track, whoops, and trails around our farm without scaring the horses or ticking off the neighbors, too much. Being able to have a decent bike without spending more after the purchase of the bike, on accessories and extras, that are for someone wanting to send it.
Nice post, great price. Back in my 'vintage racing days' that track would be considered a TT track!
@Mark Kitaoka Thanks Mark!
Dirt labs did a fox 40 and roxshox rear my sur ron rips . they helped me win mt bike national now im racing a toy in the 55+ with 450s 250s ect it was baller to race on the line first time i backed off on the hole shot because i was a guest . Next time im pinning the start because i only freaking have 9.4 hp to your 48hp
I want to make mine a super moto for stunting but I definitely want tires both good on and off road and with stop a flat inner tubes
I’m glad you pointed out the fact that this bike is supposed to be an affordable alternative. People throwing thousands into upgraded controllers and high voltage batteries on these would have been better off just getting a E-XC Freeride.
Or a Kuberg 14kw with a 30ah battery.
Or a real dirt bike...
I just love having high-powered machine at 60kg, which I can ride in city parks and not get arrested :) full sized bike won't give this. As to Kuberg - thd battery is just a tad too small :) And don't forget the pleasure of building the bike, it's like a Lego for adults :)
@@electroendurodiary I fully understand your point. I do prefer my Sur Ron and Kuberg better than my gas powered one for the same reasons. The Kuberg has a 30Ah battery option that's better than Sur Ron's battery. If you're a taller guy you'll definitely like to ride the Kuberg. Also, the 14kw version is really powerful.
Totally agree! So many people spend more on a controller, wheels and batteries than the value of the stock bike!
Thank you for sharing the tip. 🍻
Great video. Thanks got pointing out on how costs can skyrocket to doing upgrades.. nothing wrong with it like you said but can pricey quickly
@michelle evans 👍
i know there not new, and pretty hard to find now... but some marzocchi super monster mtb downhill forks with 12inches of travel, thats where it's at hahaha or sticking with used stuff, the marzocchi monster t (lesser 8inch travel but still beefy) and for upside down bling some gold marzocchi shivers
Hi again, why would you not send the left fork tube on the DNM? Does it not work better with higher quality oils and does it not needs better shims? etc.? Or am I missing the point and the left tube is just the to balance the front of the bike?
What size fork or type should I be looking for for a Segway x260 is there a certain size or something I have no clue
Stock what is the better option DNM or RST?
good stuff
i got the kke surron forks on my downhill bike
Thank's nice Vidéo ! 😎.👍
But For my Need 2020
Black Édition is Comming &
Good Enough...😉😆!
Good call on the suspension work, Tucker. Speaking as someone who went too far on modding a SurRon, I’d have to agree with you, lol! Cheers!
@Introvert Adventurer Haha, for sure! Easy to get carried away with it.
What is too far? I’m still in the process of upgrading things!
@@MTO_Brothers I regretted getting the big battery, fancy controller and upgrading the wheels. I liked the simplicity before I did that! A $3.5k lesson learned, lol.
@@ark6959 really? I just got the controller and am working on the battery too 🤣 it’s just that I feel like I’ll get more out of this beast with these small improvements! Hope I won’t regret them.
@@MTO_Brothers it’s really personal preference. I’m just not into riding motos any more. Have fun! That’s what it’s all about!
uhhhh is there a way for us to do this at home? dont really want to send it out
Nice, can you post a link for the handle bar? Is this a 3 inch rise Pro taper, right?
Bars: amzn.to/32vdpVR
Aren't the fork fully adjustable ? Chnaging oil for a thicker one can be made by yourself easy ..
Do you still recommend going to a 21 inch front wheel after the time you have on these? What about for a smaller rider around 5'3"?
I wouldn't recement it for someone your height. 18"/16" is probably better for you.
Nice video. Curious how difficult it would be to revalve and replace the oil yourself?
Look for mtn bike rebuild and revalve articles for the fork and shock. I revalved Honda XR400R and XR200 forks. Not that hard, but getting the valving right is the trick. Part of the price is getting tested valving.
@@kevinmoore4887 Do you mind sharing what Dirtlabs charge for this upgrade to the front forks ?
@@iainbrown4945 Ask the author.
I have only revalved my XR400R suspension. It was done with a friend who took 3 tries to get the valving right.
Part of the cost is R&D to get valving right.
Is that the bigger battery model, that looks super zippy😁
Do you mind sharing what Dirtlabs charge for this upgrade to the front forks ?
@Iain Brown It's $150 to have them rebuild the fork.
I may reach out to them after I upgrade my front bc finding a rear is difficult. Mine is the RST/Fastace setup, any idea if they can work with the fastace or would I be better off getting a use dnm cheap and send it to them?
Curious if u did reach out to them?
@@turbotim9009 I haven't, been to busy to get around to anything on the surron
Avalanch revalves Fastace and KKE but don't provide much info. I'm not sure that I'd spend anything on the DNM. Same goes for the clunking RST forks, mine bent with no jumping.
@@user-FishermanRick I wouldn't get the RST revalved but mime worked fine for slower tech riding(sub 25mph) after adding oil to wipers and lowers. Even ran a few arenacross pitbike races and they were fine. But now that there are dnm forks for 1/3 the cost fox40s and on 2x as much as these with the ability to revalve them it doesn't make sense to go with anything else. They are actually even heavier duty than the 40s but still lighter than full mx 85 forks
Bro! Hello from Stalingrad!
@Владислав Тирюков Hey!
Im from Alberta but my parents are from Cheylabinsk! Hi!
How can I get the bike?.is it available in Amazon?
Lunacycle.com
The Segway is available on Amazon the sur ron is available through Luna cycles
What part of Colorado you in Bro?
@Harley Renegade I'm based on the northern Front Range of CO 👍
I live in Colorado Springs Bro! Do you even ride your Sur Ron anymore or did you just stop posting your Sur Ron CZcams Vids?
Wow
why the eco in the helmet mic..
I’m in co too we’re you riding
Come out to Buena Vista, let’s shred 🤙🏻
Hi! Are you sure they´re changing oil? Check this service video where it seems to be grease. czcams.com/video/TllgInrrYYU/video.html
Fox all around 49 and dhx2. Unbelievable..
@Dick Tomasko The Fox stuff is hard to beat for this bike for sure!
Those are some long straights.
@gophop Too long on the vet track. Haha.
the only reason a gas bike is better then a sur ron is suspension. it takes another 2k to even have a chance on a motorcross track
Wheelbase / suspension travel etc etc it’ll never have the high speed stability of a purpose built gas dbike
@@mikeaust80 the weelbase is perfect and the travel is also perfect for the bike weight but its just not a dirtbike its more of a trail bike
The size / wheelbase is virtually identical to my little crf100. You wrote the suspension is the only thing holding it back to a dirt bike that’s why I replied . I still want one though
@@mikeaust80 👍🏾
True. You want to run it on the track, get dirt bike, you want to run it on the street, get ebike. However, you can run ebike on the track, be performance will be low.
Normally a huge fan of this guy, especially the first video but this one, not so much. It’s a friggen commercial. You want to improve your suspension? You replace it. Jade in the rear + plus the 550lbs DNM spring and replace the front. I’ve even been lucky enough to snag a titanium spring in back which was not cheap, but is incredibly light. Total cost for my used Jade and DNM 550 spring was $350. The cheaper DNM 550 spring is only $50 and Is a huge improvement. That’s not a lot of $ considering the cost of the bike. The front fork is just ok, but there is no other option other than replacement for true any real improvement. This video doesn’t address the elephant in the room with the forks - does the service magically make the stanchions 38’s or 40s? The DNMs would be ok if they were adjustable, but they are not designed to sustain the weight of this bike over the long term for hard riding. Anyone who has them knows the stock adjustments don’t do anything. You don’t need a service to improve them either. People have been buying the inners off eBay. If the intent of this video was to help people save money, it would be telling you what to buy yourself. There’s no need for this service because the majority of the work is in removal/installation which you still have to do yourself.
@Troy Muni Hey Troy, Thanks for the note. Yes. The intent of the video is to help people save money and is not the last video I have planned for showing cheaper suspension options. It's great to hear you've found a solution for your bike. Buying used suspension on ebay may work for some but it isn't always straight forward and affordable. I'm showing that alternative options exist and there are ways to make the stock equipment better.
im needing a 550lb spring as well. can you please provide me with a link to a direct fir 550lb spring for the dnm rear shock. i see alot on line but not sure whats a direct fit. thanks for your help
@@mauricemalone6717 There's literally only 1 DNM 550lb spring and at the same place you bought your Sur Ron
slow lane
The best upgrade to Surron is to buy a vigger bike :)
cool but pretty much a pit bike be awesome if they get way faster
its all about money but they can be incredibly fast, some people are pushing 30hp and 80+mph
@@mrskywalker115 aren't they really expensive
@@stevenkilleen8149 the stock bike is only $3800, about the same price wise as a ttr125 new and very similar on power but actually imo better suspension. Now to get it to do the speeds and power I mentioned takes a $2000 battery and $1000 controller but you will want brake upgrades too but that's the bare minimum
@@mrskywalker115 i didn't know that I raced big bikes was an a rider 10 years ago lol thanks for info def gonna look into it I got a downhill mountain bike good to know suspension is good so important too me
Don't buy one cab motorworks are more powerful and better
It’s not even close when it comes to off road the Sur Ron is much better. The cab moterworks is nice but expensive. The frame is a dated design and so Is the suspension geometry
@@turbotim9009 hahaha sure Ron is weak no comparison my eagle goes 60mph can do a wheelie at 40 mph have u even rode one!! No stfu!!!
@@turbotim9009 If you want to argue. Cab is more powerful, Sur Ron is more beautiful.
@@Xenumiscagive naw not the Eagle but have the Recon. Like I said there nice but expensive and not great for off-road. Sur Ron does 50 If I put new controller and battery in the sur ron it will also smoke the cab motors in acceleration and top speed to so how about u stfu... oh and be thousands less... dummy
@@NoNegotiations wasn’t arguing I was stating facts. The cabs are nice like I said just not made for any serious off road. No hub bike really is. U can have a heavy motor of unsprung weights s expect it to be good off-road
Fit a gas engine!
For a motocross track yes, but for tight woodland single track trails this bike can be quite competitive to fill size dirt bikes.
quality is poop
totally not true the bike rules
buy for 4000 bucks throw 4000 bucks at still cheap chinese bike
as fun as my wr450 less maintenance cheap yes poor quality resounding!! no
