Beautiful Presentation & Knowledge to know. Thank you 🙏. I just bought the Segway X260. I can’t wait to get riding
i spooled mine on low speed, lined up perfect, also added another master link about half way just so it wasn't too tight
What do you mean when you say you spooled yours on low speed? Does adding another master link make the chain more prone to break? Thank you.
@@len9483 i left the pedal sprocket loose, when ya spin her it will align itself, my chain was way too tight, so added another master link about half way
Thanks for that video
Thanks for the great review on this kit! I live in NYC and no one seems to care about a Sur-Ron with pegs on it, but if I wanted to ride on roads or trails outside the city I could see attention being drawn if it didnt have pedals. These really look like theyd do the trick if you ride trails as much as I do!
Where can you ride trails in the city / Long Island? I live in LI and just naught a sur Ron and am wondering where the trails are at
@@gregorypahl7690 put on a Kaniwaba pedal kit and ill bet you could ride local trails as long as its not crowded
Thanks.. just got my kaniwaba kit... good to know...I ordered just the 89mm arms pedals and brackets.. but they sent me the full kit on accident lol.. so I think I will just install the whole kit for compliance since they gave it to me... must be a sign to just do it full legit . Lol
Take your time with the chain alightment. When you roll the rear wheel backwards and you feel/hear binding and popping, the chain is not aligned. A single pop here and there won’t cause any issues.
@@skyungjae thank you... yes I'm going to take me time for sure.. im riding a different bike for now. . So I'm not rushng to get on the surron. Just been watching videos such as yours before I start assembling 👍👍 glad to come across this video
Besides the pedal kit, what other upgrades have you done? What tire you run?
Any recommendation on fixing my chain grinding, Sur Ron is dead silent but with the chain its causing peg vibration as well as a loud grinding
💯👍👌
I'm curious how the pedal assist electrical option works.
Thanks for the vid! I'm contemplating about getting pedals instead of pegs for compliance reasons. What's your experience riding trails with pedals vs pegs? I'm coming from a dirt bike background. Can I ride over logs or rough rock sections with pedals? Or make steep hill climbs?
As long as you’re not trying to pedal while going over obstacles, you’ll be fine. The bash will hit anything first as long as you keep the pedals level similar to riding a downhill bike. Hill climbs are also not an issue.
Does anyone know if the version for the Talaria is any good? ive seen a couple people saying it rubs on the frame which has been putting me off buying it
I use a short, steel straight-edge laid sprocket-to-sprocket to ensure alignment.
I think the pedal-shaft to jack-shaft distance should be shortened slightly, a minor re-design, that would fix the chain tension problems. A more sophisticated design would have some adjustment, it's not too hard to mount the shaft bearings in some index-calibrated eccentrics.
just curious.. does no one use tape measures anymore?
In the event of a tip-over, bent cranks would be preferable to bent or broken frame mount holes. I got the 100mm unicycle cranks shown in this video they are steel and probably wont bend. Is Sur Ron frame damage common from crashing with a pedal kit? please advise
I think your frame would be fine. If the crank doesn’t bend, I imagine the pedal spindle will.
Very detailed explanation of installing, so thanks. But how about actually USING the pedals? This review is theoretical, how about adding showing HOW well, or not these work?
The pedals don’t work very well. They are geared so low you can pedal a thousand strokes and go about a 1/2 city block at best. As everyone knows, they are only for legal compliance.
I pretty much just have clown pedals at this point, my pedals grind like crazy
Did you notice ant top end speed loss when you installed the "power kit" portion of this set up?
No, the drag from the chain and freewheel is so minimal, you'd probably lose top speed from a misaligned caliper or a bent rotor before that.
how about different sprocket sizes so you could actually get the pedals to work "reasonably" instead of just for show?
The electronic PAS is probably the way to go. Check out my more recent videos.
I don't even own a sur-ron bike, but interested in one. Would have to buy the pedal kit to not get pulled over or get the bike confiscated. My question is, why is there not a larger chain ring on the pedal axle? Cant really see but I guess the chain would get too close to the motor? With a larger chain ring you could pedal at reasonable speed :)
It is a clearance issue and the fact that the Sur Ron wasn’t really designed to be pedaled. There is a 25T rear sprocket that people can use with the OEM pedal kit, but you have to keep it in the limp 10kph/6mph mode to avoid burning out the motor.
@@skyungjae a
If the pedal kit chain breaks, can you still ride it home fine? Can you add an additional link to the new pedal chain kit?
You can throttle back home.
With this pedal kit on, do you need to keep it under a certain speed to not fuck up your motor?
No, you can run it at full power.
@@skyungjae that's sick thanks bro
hi i have a question i too live in socal and ride and e bike, i have been planning to make some money and get a surron, i am 13 i heard by adding petals to the sur ron it makes it “street legal” or at least to the point where you can tell police it’s not illegal is that true?
It’s technically street legal as is in eco mode. Doesn’t exceed 30mph. Motorized bicycles don’t need operational pedals. Riding on trails and bike paths is where you need pedals. If you want to be safe, you can run a 64T sprocket. Even in sport mode it won’t go past 30 and will have incredible torque and climbing power.
@@skyungjae ok thanks but where i live cops hate e bikes and i’m 13 so you think i can get away with riding a surron in eco with petals?

@@prizedagoon enforcement of ebike laws is really subjective. You have to be 16 or older to ride ebikes legally in this state. So regardless of configuration, they can always get you on that.
@@skyungjae oh well in my area kids my age and younger ride e bikes everywhere so i think it will be fine i ride mine to school and downtown everyday and i have no problem i’m just worried cops will pull me over
ya master link is backwards
This kit is not practical. But it does work, sort of. If you're battery goes dead, you will not be able to pedal home. I wouldn't buy it.
Yeah, I’m pretty sure it was only made for legality purposes. The factory Sur Ron pedal kit is terrible.
That kick stand design is trash it just comes lose no matter what and kickstand swings down on large bumps . Just take it off and have no kickstand
Haven’t had any kickstand issues. Some people tie a piece of tube around the swing arm and stretch it over the kickstand so it doesn’t drop down over rough terrain.
