honestly for 1000 bucks what you got from that guy is an amazing deal. here in germany a good (worth to have) fully on its own used is at least 800 bucks.
This is actually such a dope idea! so many people under-estimate the power of second hand parts and Facebook market place, it's a gold mine. Great video though man!! props to you on this one.
That’s smart, I’ve seen some surron kids doing the mtb method for 40s but in the long run they’ll give out earlier since they’re not built for a 120lb bike, I recommend the fastace forks, 600$ and part availability is great.
Oh sick! that’s partially why it’s so important to not spend full price on new ones haha - more money to rebuild them later! And that Fastace being made for the surron is definitely a game changer!
@@logan-taylor yea definitely, I will say, those Fox ones are the best looking, but i don’t have money for that since I’m saving for a new wheel set and 72v
I always build Ebikes like this. I've got a stealth bomber 84v 37Ah & with fox air shockers. Bought everything separate. All together for everything full e-bike = £380 The only thing I can't get cheap or pre-owned. Is the cooling radiator hubsink & Statorade ferrofluid for Hub motors Which is £130. So after I buy them Altogether will have cost me £510.
I'm thinking of building it from scratch like from the frame up not buying a surron and upgrading it but just buying the bare frame and building it fully upgraded in the end it should be cheaper than most of the builds
great video thanks bro. Can you tell visually if the steerer tube isnt going to be long enough? like no spacers on a modern frame is probably going to be too short?
So this mainly worked for you as you found some one selling the fox40's and the mountain bike for 1k$. What's the odds of this for some one else ? I so wanted to like this info. Great video though.
I'm just wondering, if you could fit a 29 fork on the surron could you technically fit the 29" mtb front wheel on that surron? I'm super curios!! Please respond😅😅
What if I plan on riding almost exclusively on pavement and paved trails / extremely light off roading (flat field of grass type) do you still think I should get a new fork
@@logan-taylorhaha trueee Different time then But I appreciate the video man. I am using same route you are running to upgrade my suspension brother. Appreciate it boss 🤙🏻
In my opinion people aren’t taking advantage of the used market when it comes to surrons I have my 4th surron since Jan 2023 & each bike I’ve bought I sold for a profit
You add forks then ride around on the street? No comments on how they are better, if the brakes were better, no jumps or even riding down stairs… is this just the posers guide to getting orange forks? Sorry if I missed something here.
1. It’s not that serious, chill out a bit 2. this video is supposed to help people find good deals on parts they want no matter what type of riding they do!
dirt bikes are sick but way different from Surrons - totally different benefits and drawbacks to both. Surrons are overpriced but they’re nowhere close to $7k stock. If you build a surron this way it’s like $5k total, which is a ton of money but well worth it to me!
@@logan-taylor man this whole mountain bike n this electric bike industry is rip off . I am not comparing benefits. It just don’t sense to me how some people justify the price of these scooters
@@logan-taylor yes just one time its not impressive may b for first time rider or new motorcycle rider but for me nothing special . I am 220 n suspension sucks n power was ok . V over priced.
Nice vid but for me the coil 40s are just perfect and I am a heavy rider. I run mine with a green spring and 3 spacers. Also the forks in your video are around 550 bucks used. So buying a used dh bike is still the cheapest way to upgrade your surron and I just did the same thing like a month ago. Nice that you are keeping those code breakes. Remy Morton (Pro athlete) had them on his freeride bike which he uses for Riding huge jumps.
If the coil 40s work for you that’s sick! There are some awesome deals out there. Local to me, I couldn’t find any sub-$1k float 40s unfortunately, even non-kashima. I think it super depends on your market, but pinkbike is another great option for some good deals. And the code’s have been great, awesome power. Semi-retro MTB stuff is so cool on surrons!
AND your name is logan, that’s so sick. We do an all-electric ride every saturday, you should come out. Everyone departs from Gasworks at 7:30, or MOHAI around 7:45, depends which spot is easier for you to get to!
Oh dude I JUST moved out of Seattle and getting into these bikes (I used to do a lot of DH mtb). Gonna be moving back in a couple years, ill have to hit you up.
i don’t think surrons meet any current e-bike classifications in WA. It’s maybe closest to class 2 because it’s throttle operated, but with more watts and foot pegs haha
@@logan-taylor oh ok thank you I’ve recently been looking into getting one and don’t want to get it confiscated but the police if it’s illegal on the street 😅 but thank you this was helpful
Surrons are closer to light dirt bikes in terms of power & riding experience, but the mountain bike size makes them much more versatile than gas dirt bikes imho. True E-mtb’s to me are more about helping the rider pedal and climb trails rather than zipping around like you do on a surron. Both are sick.
lower woodland! The DJ/BMX jumps are pretty sacred though, surrons would definitely mess them up. We’re working on some surron-specific jump lines in the forest tho, it’s a sick area all around!
Man you got the formula down, been looking for a old fox 40 instead of a bike WITH a fox 40
Your a Fricking genius
it’s a game changer bro!!
Technically you got more than just the fork and handlebars for $250 since you got the other bike as well!
great point - that Kona Stinky is priceless!
As a mountain biker(a poor one) watching this guy tear down a downhill bike for its parts is painful.
sorry about that :( but all the other parts went to other mountain bikers at super low prices
@@logan-taylor thats nice to hear :)
@@yelo7856pain cured?
Thanks for your video. Thanks to you. Bought a bike with fox 40 for 450 usd. Sold the bike later a week later for 450 usd without the shock 😅
yooo that’s sick!! Nice find
honestly for 1000 bucks what you got from that guy is an amazing deal.
here in germany a good (worth to have) fully on its own used is at least 800 bucks.
Totally, i’m super grateful to this guy! It took a while to find the deal but it was so worth it :)

thanks so much man!! Totally agree, if you’re crafty you can save buckets. And with surrons we gotta save as much money as we can haha
@@logan-taylor Couldn’t be any more right bro! The bike costs enough as is it is. Gotta save every penny possible for the power upgrades 😁!

I've just stuck with the stock KKE forks and tbh they do extremely well

What? Are you not including the price of the huge battery you have?

Just found your channel, absolutely love this video brother
thanks bro!! I appreciate it
Dude this is exactly what I did it’s the best thing you can do, also this was a great video
right?? Whenever i build my next surron this is the first thing i’m going to do, no question.
Great idea and awesome build. Can you tell me what direct mount spacers you are using?
Thanks! They're Emoto Bros 14mm spacers and I'm running two of them (they come in a pack of 2 for like $45 I think)
@@logan-taylor Thank you kindly 😁
Did I see clothes on a clothes line? Whack👊🏻 mad laundry skills bruh
lmaoo i think my neighbors were drying tie dye
So this mainly worked for you as you found some one selling the fox40's and the mountain bike for 1k$. What's the odds of this for some one else ? I so wanted to like this info. Great video though.
You're not consider the time it take to take pictures, list, deal with buyers, and meet up for a sale, for each individual part from the mtb.
really nice that you can ride main streets and dont give a fvck, USA win with all other countries in that, I feel like a criminal riding on my ron :|
what bridge is that bike park under? how have I never seen that
Logan that was a fantastic video thank you so much I wish I could get this done in the next week before I leave town for Moab!
thanks so much Brian!!
What kind of tires do you have, friend?
do not get 26inch they will not fit ur bike properly
what about talaria? how would i go about the measurements and all that
I'm just wondering, if you could fit a 29 fork on the surron could you technically fit the 29" mtb front wheel on that surron?
I'm super curios!!
Please respond😅😅
It amazes me how this video only has 7k views
7000 people is such a crazy number of viewers to me, but in the grand scheme of TH-cam it's tiny haha
@@logan-taylor yea
What if I plan on riding almost exclusively on pavement and paved trails / extremely light off roading (flat field of grass type) do you still think I should get a new fork
My question is? Was that a 26" glory or 27.5 boost
it was a 26er I think
Yo dawg I’m in Seattle too I’ve got a modded razor and Surron like you do been trying to find you on Facebook so we can ride!
All I want is an ultra bee with street tires and I'll be a happy man. 😊
What kind of bike is this that he bought to swap the parts from
@@Samzbusiness surron
@@robertsilva5041 ik I mean the bike he took the suspension off
@@Samzbusiness MTB buddy. It was his cost effective way to get parts without breaking the bank
No you need to show another SX500 Wheelie Video
Sadly it only works if you allready have a MTB ^^
You are really makin me wanna get a sur ron
This is certainly the secret sauce!
Kona STINKY? 😂😂😂 someone was absolutely smoking crack when they named that bike lol like tf
haha it was classic early 2000s era Kona to name it something like that
@@logan-taylorhaha trueee
Different time then
But I appreciate the video man. I am using same route you are running to upgrade my suspension brother. Appreciate it boss 🤙🏻
Glad I found this post! Thanks
Where did you get that wrap?
In my opinion people aren’t taking advantage of the used market when it comes to surrons

ssshh don’t tell anyone haha

u got shazam lil bro
For a 1000$ thats like one of a lifetime buy. You will never get that one that low
i feel super lucky, the seller was such a cool guy!
if your looking to get fox 40s look on pink bike and they sell more things like brakes or also bikes
pinkbike is great - almost bought a used bike off a seller there for this video! But sometimes local FB marketplace deals just can’t be beat
Oh dude I JUST moved out of Seattle and getting into these bikes (I used to do a lot of DH mtb). Gonna be moving back in a couple years, ill have to hit you up.
no way!! I feel like DH translates so well to surrons. Yeah shoot me a DM when you’re in the area!!

ODI number plate! I think I got it on Amazon
What Wheels/Tires are you driving?
Stock 19 inch wheels with Shinko 244s and motorcycle tubes!
@@logan-taylor thanks mate :) But which size is possible on the Stock 19" Wheel?
i want the controller or battery :/
Those are the most expensive things definitely, but stock power with suspension and brakes is still sooo fun

you too bro! let’s do it, I’m excited for megaride
Hey Logan I’m in WA Seattle as well what are the surron laws? Does the surron count as a class 3 e-bike?

@@logan-taylor oh ok thank you I’ve recently been looking into getting one and don’t want to get it confiscated but the police if it’s illegal on the street 😅 but thank you this was helpful

@@logan-taylor alright thank you again🙏🏽
yo how tall are you man. Im a big fan. Do you fit well on the razor SX500 Bike?

aha your bikes the inspiration! Thanks for watching
Where is that dirt jump spot? looks epic!
lower woodland! The DJ/BMX jumps are pretty sacred though, surrons would definitely mess them up. We’re working on some surron-specific jump lines in the forest tho, it’s a sick area all around!
the fox 40s also need to be 1 1/8" p sure
yep! I'm 90% sure all fox 40's are straight 1 1/8", don't think they ever came tapered (even the new ones)
What camera do you use?
Sony A6500 with either a sigma 30mm or Samsung 12mm!
Nah, those are hype, I’m going for Ktm 85 forks
85s are too heavy and tall for the surron IMO but a buddy rides them and loves them.
