Worst decision of my life was knowing about surrons when they where 3k and not buying one. Good video tho and thanks for the advice.
What has happened
@@t1ny03 still have not bought one because of the price
Yes pretty insane eh.. I started looking on facebook, saw a few around 1.5k mark so spent a week scouring forums getting myself real hyped & when I've come to look to view, the only legit bikes that aren't death traps are circa 3k & 2020/2021 models.. 🤔🤔🤔 found a brand new one 2023 model from a store 5miles from mine @ 4.5k allegedly cheapest available....wish I had the spare cash to snap it up. Good luck on hunt brother any tips?
I'm thinking these won't sell as well with the recession that's coming.
Agreed ‼️ 👍 ‼️
New follower here but I've been riding since 1964 and I am impressed with your work ethic ‼️and attention to detail like O rings ‼️‼️
just got one, 2000$ for one with 700 miles and some cnc mods and a bad controler ended up buying a used bac 4000 for 400$ on the way to get the bike and installed it at the sellers place to test it, worked great!
Bro, thanks for your video, this helped me decide, I’m buying new!
Thanks for making this informative content.
I like how you mounted that headlight bro
Thanks! Looks way better. I flattened the stock mount with a hammer and my vice
Question, where did you buy your Sur Ron X
New Subscriber here! Dope videos! Quick question. I live in the Seattle area and just picked up a surron. Does any cops or people give you any trouble for riding E-bikes on the roads or trails?
No issues man! Im always talking to the moto cops at the seattle center. Let’s ride sometime - im always mobbin in your area
@@adobomoto i live in the seattle area aswell but cant afford a sur ron lol want one so bad
just bought one for 1.7 all it needed was new weels and breaks wear on the way out its a steal
i was looking on creagslist and someone posted a "sur ron 2023" they had DNM breaks and no upgrades and was listed for 5.3k i contacted owner and he confirmed he was firm on price and was telling truth. I cant anymore finding a good priced sur ron is frickin hard bru. :/
I paid 3700 USD for a Sur ron X Black Edition. They all list for $4k near me.
Pros-JFG Racing Peg brackets, Warp 9 pegs, Prickly Performance Linkage, Shimano SLX Brake levers, pro taper grips, new screen, new seat.
Cons- dropped for sure but not bad, horn doesn’t work, headlight didn’t work, already cut the wire, 6 pin connector is broken on both battery and harness side, Atleast 400miles on the bike, stock tires are almost out, stock brake pads are out, chain and sprocket are worn out, missing bolts
The wire repairs were horrid. Just electric tape and wires that kept touching each other. But the chain and sprocket is worn to the point where I have slack no matter what. Thankfully working on this bike is like working on a Walmart bike. To be honest i think it’s a good deal for me just because all the cons I can easily fix and make better.
Look for them on sale in other countries. Took me five minutes to find a 2021 for 3200$ in Canada with maybe another 2-300 for shipping. Also worth keeping an eye out for parts. If you can find a used chassis/motor in working condition the rest can be pieced out pretty cheap from people doing upgrades.
Nice. What site?
@@adobomoto theparking-motorcycles
@@adobomoto also an interesting amount of cheap European bikes. Might be worth it to look at parts of there are cheap shipping options.
@@FumblsTheSniper what website are you looking at for the European bikes? Any specific bike you would recommend
im one of those guys doing upgrades rn. Picked one up yesterday and selling my talaria for 3.9 :D
I clicked on the video s video and now I'm just staying because the dudes stud wish you was on my team
You are amazing, thank YOU
I just got a Surron and the person that sold it to me told me that it’s a 60v battery, I looked all over the battery and it says nothing. How would I know which battery they put on my bike? Btw, I love your videos! Subscribed!
Just look at the battery itself if he says it’s 60v it’s more likely the stock battery.
The Talaria has a battery charge counter. You could estimate mileage from that too.
IMO buying new is so much better.
If I can save $800-$1000 on a like new sur ron I always try to go that route. Any less savings, then yeah, new is better!
At a certain point, the savings might be worth it. The sellers that want top dollar and wont budge on price, pass for sure, the its definitely not worth it, no matter how 'clean' and 'low miles' is claimed.
How does one mount the light low on the fork like that?
How do you know what year the Surron is why do you not cover this very important detail?
where do i buy one?????????
Crazyyy never knew they were 2700!! I bout mine at 4200 plus shipping almost 5k haha
where can I get mini motto tires like that
Riddle man i all depens, Bac4000 bypass:? it all depends sooo much im sry so much variants on buying used
I think I’ll buy the cheapest one I can find it will be really good value as a frame and not everything will be broken
I got a deal on a used 2017 one but with X controller but it cannot go full throttle . Current owner says that it needs a new motor for it to work.
I can get it for 1500$.
Yes no?
Yes, stock parts go for sale all the time. If you can get the chassis and a battery for 1500 you’re making money.
How will I know if I can have it in Pennsylvania can have it
there are a few on Offer Up for $1000 do you think that is worth it? they are in good condition
Those are scams the lowest I’ve seen one for is 4k
let me tell you about a timeshare opportunity.
Where to buy new surron?
Why you say the one with the x isn’t that just a design ? Cause this guy is selling a red surron and it seems to have a little bigger battery than stock but it just has the surron controller but also has the rst killah forks and supermoto tires but I wanna know the difference of the one that has the x on it
X is a different controller
What does it mean if it doesn’t have the x
Where can i buy a surron in europe?
Do people ever register their suron to make it road legal?
I’ve heard of people doing it yes
I was looking to buy one but i seen the max weight limit is 225lbs and i definitely exceed that.
Upgrade the suspension!
I’m 250 5’9 fits perfectly
I’m 6 foot 230 running stock works great
I’ve seen guys who would be contestants for my 500 you’d be ok
I’m working out to get down to 170 before buying one
I’m buying a used surron light bee x 72 volts for £100, but it doesn’t have a battery. Am I being scammed?
Yes, u are you
found one with just 99 miles, for $3,500 looks like the screen has been through some times so think is legit. looks good condition
We’re u lookin at yours boss
Where do you find them I can’t find any
How do you know if it is a scam
Where doi look for one in my area of so-cal
I’ve had a ton of luck with FB Marketplace
in my country they cost 5100 dollars, there is no used ones and I can't buy it from outside cuz the delivery is really trash like I mean really trash, America's delivery system is like a song compared to my guys here.
Where do I buy them online tho ? ??

I’m buying a used X160 with the 60v battery and the X controller for $3,500 from a guy here in Austin Texas. I’m going to look at it on Monday, seems completely fine cosmetically. He’s technically giving me a $7,500 bike including the accessories. I’m nervous though and I don’t really know what to look out for red flag wise
Just some additional information, the guy is moving to Hawaii and can’t take the bike with him. The price was originally $4,000 but I talked him down. He’s even throwing in a second set of 19 inch rock tires
Sounds like a good deal. Only thing with the x160’s is the motor is a different wind from the sur ron x and x260. Heard you can burn out those motors if you go above the 60v
@@adobomoto good to know! Thanks man
Make sure it’s not a stolen bike. If the vin on the head tube is grinded down, then it is. I made this mistake with out looking.
deagan z - they dont have vin #.
i want one of these so bad but idk if i can drive around where i live :( i live in houston texas and idk if taking out on the road would be a little too cop watching
In texas? Shit, not even seattle PD bothers me bro
I'm in houston..I see sur ron groups rip it up in htx.. I have onyx rcr..
So long as you aren’t goofing off and wear a helmet, most of them will treat you like a moped. I’m looking to switch from a eMTB that goes 35mph. Never had a cop even look at me.
Also, you could easily outrun the cops on a Surron. At least, you could one time and then you would have to move to ride it lol.
After checking consistently online for a week, nobody within 150 miles of me is selling one of these for less than 4 grand.
since they're only like ~$4800 brand new, I don't think that is worth it at all to go used.
Same all like 6k! Wtf
if its 6000 and has 4000 in upgrades its worth it!!!
He poops his pants at 1:09
Buying used ones in Sweden is pretty much useless, there are barely any and the ones that are is almost full price and not even the latest modell most seem to be 2019
I have someone going to china anybody know where there retail outlets are?
There are a ton. E-bikes are huge over there and this is just a model that has made its way over to the states where it’s still a niche market.

OMG LOL!!!!
could you help a homeless guy make his dream come true? i have wanted a sur ron for a long time and can’t ever seem to get the funds together. even a used one would make my dream come true.. god bless and ride safe!
What if it's an xx Ludacris? This guy wants 5 grand for it he's basing that off of there's only a hundred of them made and he's got forks and tires and a few upgrades
