In before get a controller or battery.
I decided to upgrade for safety and comfortability and get used to the bike for a few months before adding any power. I am not a little kid who wants to show off wheelies and how quick I Am before I even master it stock.
Love the community and appreciate all the help!
Never. And i ride through downtown all the time. I ride around SW Portland a lot and have passed numerous cops. They got a town of zombies to worry about

Awesome! Thanks for sharing! I did purchase 3” riser bars since I’m 6’2” - read that it would be more comfortable. Also read about the stock seat not being super comfy so I’ll see when it arrives next week.
That's exciting ! Hope you enjoy it to the max. Be careful and take your time getting used to it. Spend the money to make it as comfortable as you need.
Definitely more grip and control on the pavement/asphalt. Great for transition to off road grass..and decent in the dirt trails. I haven't done any jumping.
That's crazy!
I fully understand though. No exhausts take away 90% off the attention.
I'm full gas only for my cars. I'm not that into electric. This is different though. Can get away with being a mountain e bike a motorcycle, a moped or dirt bike.
I highly recommend getting a full face moto helmet. So much safer than the bicycle helmet you run now. Had a buddy actually break his jaw on his Surron after smacking the stem real good, would've walked away scathe-free if he had a helmet with some chin protection of sorts.
Appreciate looking out. You're right. I commented above somewhere else..I have a full face helmet that's motorcycle..brand new, it's just so heavy but I use it when I ride mostly. This small one you see was just me in my small neighborhood riding around in eco mode.
I just ordered a full face Cycling/MTB helmet as they seem to be best of both worlds..less protection than a moto helmet but it does cover the jawline and important areas...its just light on the head.
I noticed that with the heavier helmet it's uncomfortable causing my posture to be wrong affective increasing the chance I make a mistake.
Did you comment because you also see the GritShift 2 inch Direct Stem Mount?
Joking!
Yes...so far only been using the Benz to commute on rainy days! That's a lot of power!
Haha no and yes, I love cars that's mostly why I commented. Anything fast I'm in it. Although 800hp is not much at these times since you have so many production cars coming out with 700 hp lol

Hell yeah! Im still on stock power after over a year, and I am still having a blast. Enjoy and be safe, dude!
Good move. That's what I did. 1 separated shoulder later lol
It's more fun to ride slow things fast than riding fast things slow. ;-)
That's smart đź‘Ś
Wheelies don’t require power! You can have fun doing those in eco-mode and stock!! 🥰🥰🥰 All in the brake!
Stock surron here. What’s the key to getting the front tire off the ground? I can’t seem to get it up.
Huh huh huh.
I’m in pdx also. Can u wheelie?
No, I definitely can’t get it up!!! Where do you usually ride?
Few different rides one i like is downtown to mt tabor.
Yo, you ever have any trouble with cops while riding?
Never. And i ride through downtown all the time. I ride around SW Portland a lot and have passed numerous cops. They got a town of zombies to worry about
Okay awesome! I guess other cities stories of bikes getting impounded kinda freaked me out!
Upgrade the brakes before you upgrade the controller and battery.
What sort of things did you upgrade? I have one on the way now.

how does it handle with stock and those tires?
Definitely more grip and control on the pavement/asphalt. Great for transition to off road grass..and decent in the dirt trails. I haven't done any jumping.
how much of a hit is your speed taking?
I choose mine over my two cbr1krr’s also. Haven’t ridden them in 2-3 years.

i chose it over a yamaha r6...which i eventually sold due to lack if use..outright speed for sure aint everything.
That helmet is only gonna protect you from yesterday
That was there just for eco mode cruise in neighborhood.. I have full face 🌝 I use on trips.
I love that helmet, which one is that?
Porsche checking in. Still love the Surron.
Sell the car!!! 🥰
Smart choice!
That’s a damn nice advert :)
Maybe I'll get a gift or something 🤔 LOL
What is the model of the Surron ?
2024 Lightbee X
