that white bmw at 7.20 minutes
That was lucky
And they diss escooters and bikes and there’s people like that, in weapons on wheels. I don’t know.
Yes .. BMW GV71 DDU
I enjoyed that thanks for posting 👍🏻
As soon as you said "North Circular" i wondered if you'd get to the Ace Cafe..... I love that place!... A two hour trip to get there for me 😕
Bike is brilliant, I wish I was a bit younger.... Video quality was great, let's not talk about the wind noise on the audio 🤣🤣
Thanks man!
You're never too old!
mega respect to you. Firstly having a Road legal version, and secondly, taking it on the a406 too. I've had plenty of bikes in my time, cbr600rr, mt07, honda grom, loads of mopeds, I'm tempted to get a Surron for a bit off fun, but would only want a road legal version like you have. Prob look a bit silly with a helmet on though lol keep up the fun
I'm selling mine if you're interested.
@@Sur-Ronhow much?
@@tylerburgess8709 £3500. It's got a private plate on it too which is worth a grand
what is the way the save towards and use for off road slightly. I then went seen one i like to test and learn i will or may not go through with it.
Heya, I picked an L1E up not long ago and have been riding it around quite a bit. With the high speeds (75km/hr) how do you find the battery? Running it at those speeds tends to get me I reckon around 30-45km out of a battery.
Yeh at full speed (40-45mph) it will do about 20-25miles
Hi. Did you do MSVA approval or not?
Second question is what insurance company you are with?
Thank you
Im asking because I've bought ebike from. China and I have to do MSVA approval then register with DVLA and get insurance.
Hi, no I didn't have to do that as it was already registered when I bought it. I get my insurance through Lexham insurance
You brave man haha i wouldn't be doing that with 72v and a BAC8000 installed. Nice job
I don't do it very often. Only done it a handful of times.
Yeah and not that far from getting hit by a car twice.
Why not?
Got a surron black edition 2022 it's 51 mph flat out its okay 👌 for off road and just bought a k5 8000w ebike she will push 80mph plus ➕ instead off the upgrades ect bac 8000 and a lit 72v battery the k5 8000w is running 72v battery 🔋 and 40amp 150 subvert control she flys back wheel hub instead off mid drive I'm a bike freak will be posting k5 8000w ebike videos thete a surron killer I do like my surron if kneed speeds k5 8000w all day long fun off road both surron got the off road covered but k5 8000w flying machine on wheels dude
How tall are you? Is the Sur-Ron comfortable for someone who’s like 1,82m tall?
I'm 170cm. You can get seat risers if it's a bit short.
Hey Amit, Is there a brand name on your headlight please?
It's just the standard headlight that comes with the road legal version.
Do you have any issues with the number plate rubbing or catching on the rear tyre with the tail tidy?
Not anymore as I've got a smaller plate on it and I'm very light. When I had the full sized plate on there it used to hit all the time
@@Sur-Ron Cheers what size plate do you have coz I think I'll need to get a smaller one?
@@jonny_surrony 7in x 5in
@@Sur-Ron Nice one cheers for the help
@@jonny_surrony you're welcome mate
Have you stopped riding the surron now..
Its nice to see people actually being sensible on them and not just doing wheelies..
Yes. I'm selling it. Got a GSX R125. Will be putting up some videos soon
Anyone able to give estimate of price for fully comp for someone whose 30? Eager to buy something like this to use for commuting but not be worried abut thieves as can be taken indoors.
300-500
I pay about £800. I'm 39, last year was my first year riding so haven't built up any no claims
@@Sur-Ron do you mean first year riding a bike? Or first year on the road like never driven a car? I take it my ncd from my car wouldn't be transferable to a bike.
@@scott2735 1st year insuring a bike... I've got over 10years no claims on my car... It's not transferable
Is the license-plate holder legal at that angle?
I haven't had any issues with it. It's still fully legible from behind
how much battery is last after u riding
Depends how you ride it! I get between 30 and 40 miles usually. That is doing 30mph average
Hi do they have to be road legal now? I’ve saw a few knocking around with no plates and off road. Was thinking of getting one for work combination of on and off road to avoid the motorway is this possible or will the police have it off me
I got the road legal version because I use it to commute. If you get the normal version they are illegal to ride on the road and can only be legally ridden on private land. Most people just ride them illegally. I've only seen a handful of people with the road legal version. Also I can insure it. And the police have never stopped me because I have a numberplate.
@@Sur-Ron thanks for the info mate looks like I’ll be needing a road legal one don’t want it taken off me
@@Sur-Ron What's the difference between road legal and other one? Surely it's the same product? Up to you to register it and put plate on, no?
@@jjr1728 it’s got all the bits that make it road legal. Headlight, tail light with brake light, indicators, a horn, and a number plate. If you don’t want to get arrested, and your bike taken and crushed, you get the legal version. Otherwise you run the risk of getting done
@@Sur-Ron But surely the road legal isn't totally legal ? I heard they can't insure it due to it being 50cc so they'll still take it off you
how did you uncapped it? I was thinking on getting one it says that top speed is 70kms/hr but when I called someone from the shop they said that it will be capped to 50kms/hr
There is a wire that you need to cut to unrestrict it.
@@Sur-Ronwouldnt this cause trouble with MOT etc or invalidate insurance?
@@ImranAli-dv9dg no. I haven't had any problems
@@Sur-Ron hi thanks for replying, so when I get MOT for the surron, do you think they would check to see if I’ve cut the wire or not, have you got your MOT done before whilst the wire was cut? Also i subscribed bro good video
@@ImranAli-dv9dg thanks for the sun Bro! Tbh I haven't had to MOT it coz it's not 3 years old yet. But I don't think they would check or even know to check. Most people don't even know what the bike is, let alone know about the wire being cut
Hello what type of license do you require to ride the sur-Ron and was it easy to get insurance
Hi. You need a CBT. There were only two companies that I found that would insure it. I use Lexham insurance. Please view my FAQs video for more info
@@Sur-Rondo you still need l plates
@@allanallen1835 if you only have a CBT then yes.
@@Sur-Ronwhat 2 company’s?
@@te177 MCN and Lexham
Who did you insurance for the sur ron with and how much is tax etc etc
I insure with Lexham Insurance. Tax is free as it's electric.
@@Sur-Ron thsnk you buddy.
@@adematthews2396 you’re welcome mate!
I have a full driving licence. Am I right in saying I just need a CBT and I can ride this?. Also, if you snip the wire to unrestrict it, is it still legal and will Insurance companies insure it?.
The wire doesn't actually need to be physically cut apparantly, insurance is fine with it, keep it eco for under 30mph sport goes full speed, but cutting the wire unlocks sport mode full speed not eco, so eco is still legal at 16 on CBT classes as a 50cc moped, insurance goes for around 400-600 from what I know, and they're fine with it being used full speed usually
I ride using my CBT. When I bought mine the wire was already cut. It's insured as a 125cc equivalent. I always ride in sport (mainly because the re-gen is more aggressive). I only found 2 companies that would insure it. I use Lexham insurance. More expensive than the other company (can't remember the name) but that other company had such poor reviews I just went with Lexham for peace of mind.
Dare I ask the price?
@@breakit46 £800 a year fully comprehensive
@@Sur-Ron is that on a provisional license? No full bike license? Cheers.
Living in London. Is that you hiding under that helmet ?
U got plates for the bike or fake pedal kit on it
It's fully road legal... Has a numberplate
Heya quick Q&A have you registered the bike as a 50 or 125? I may be getting one soon so just trying to find out some info on em
It's registered as a 50
How much did it cost to insure it?
Do u need any kind of license for these?
CBT
How much do you pay for insurance..
£800 fully comprehensive
Yo mate, what licence do you need for the ultra bee?
What was the licence you first got it retested on?
For the light be you just need a CBT. For an ultra bee you need a full license
Sorry for the late reply
Who you insured with
Sorry for the late reply... Lexham insurance
How do you get it to be Road legal?
I bought it already road legal. They do a road legal version.
7:22 standard bmw driver
Haha… yeh just noticed that…
how much is the insurance for it ? and how much does it cost to charge?
I'm currently paying £1200 for the year fully comprehensive. However it's my first year insuring a bike and I live in London. It costs about 50p to charge on average
@@Sur-Ron thank you I was looking mainly at the insurance fact as wanted to see how cost effective it would be to get electric bike but from looking for more information on the insurance companys they seem to not have really established in this type so they seem to have it high. But saying that I still believe the pro's still very much outweigh the cons I have found more information from you than any other source thank you and I look forwards to seeing more about your journey
@@plexcontractors3500 I could only find 2 companies that would insure me... I went with Lexham Insurance. The other one was much cheaper but the excess was ridiculous and the company had lots and lots of bad reviews
@@Sur-Ron wtf here in germany youll pay just 40€ per year😂
@@zombeloffical for what? Insurance?
Dont you need to do the A1 light motorbike course to drive this over 45km/h
No, just a CBT.
Is this the stock bike bro?
Yeh it's stock... A few minor upgrades.
How do I turn the front lights off?
Hi, you can't. You have to buy and fit a switch. Otherwise the light is permanently on.
What license do I need to be able to ride this?
You need a CBT. So you can get it with a provisional license or a full license.
What u got it insured as a50 or125.. these are great but not many people are gonna pay shit loads to ride 20 miles at full chat.. then have to recharge it. I like them but they need to make them more easy to insure. It’s such a con ..mite as well get a ped that’s derestricted..
I think it's insured as a 50 as the V5 says it's a 50
@@Sur-Ron But as you have derestricted it, you will need to notify your insurance company and re register it, or the insurance will not be valid. A potential problem, if you are involved with either the police or an accident involving another vehicle.
Ant they a wire you can snip to make that go faster
Already done... Without the "snip" it only does 30mph
@@Sur-Ron Nice one looks fast when you open her out, a if it's classed as moped I can ride that on my car licence with no CBT crap🙂
Once wire is cut its not road legal. Moped class is restricted to 30mph, as long as your aware. My 125 2smoker is deresricted and has 3o odd bhp, not legal now..
@@uk_familygreen Just put an inline switch on the wire, so you can have full power when you want, that's what I would do
@@uk_familygreencant see anything in there about derestricting a 50cc bike. Ive been pulled over on my sting R road legal because the police arent used to seeing that bike being used legally and they didnt have any issues with the fact I'd cut the wire to get the full 55mph. It woukd be illegal for a 16 year old on a CBT to do it but thats all i can think of.
Why is he going 47mph tryna to talk with f you can hear me 😂😂5:03
What makes it road legal?
The lights, indicators and numberplate
@@Sur-Ron thank you for the reply.
Sick Buddy like this video :) As A girl rider Year Owner im all Stock Basically .:) wanting to upgrade Battery and what not soon
Drive Safe :_)
Thanks! I'm basically all stock too! Going to get the supermoto wheels next! And I'm wrapping it this weekend! Video will be up soon after! Do you have a road legal version?
@@Sur-Ron I'm in Canada 🇨🇦 😎 and I don't have that version I have surron x and u can upgrade it to make have singal lights and whatever else lol
I'm always on road and trails
Have had some problems with cops but beat that in court lol
But now I feel I been left alone for awhile from cops .
But yeah I have a surron X lol I don't think it's street legal lol as cops messed with me
But I just started it my ebike 🤣🤣🤣😝 and yeah
Learn my lesson keep it 32 and bike lanes and back roads lol 😆
How fast is top speed destricted
At 100% battery it does 47mph. At 90% it does 45. At 50% it does 40. At 15% it does 30.
you need street tires i use mine on road and off road
Yeh, that's my next "upgrade" if I keep it... Will probably sell it in a couple of months tbh
@@Sur-Ron mine goes hard out with the bac 4000
@@Sur-Ron how come you’re selling?
would hate to live in a city, traffic nightmare
Cant here a word you are saying while you are riding, lolololol
I know man, sorry, just filming on my phone…
@@Sur-Ron I am just making you aware for your content brother! Have a great day my man. No need to be sorry....
Yt

It's so funny that guys are making videos, crying cause they are getting pulled over for driving their unlicensed sur Ron's on the roads. Crazy. If it was legal to ride a motorcycle On the road WITHOUT A license or INSURANCE , everyone would be doing it. Plus they wouldn't had come out with one that's made to drive on the streets LEGALLY. LOL. WOW
I know! That’s why I have the road legal version… haven’t been pulled over once, in over a year. As soon as they see me, they see my number plate, do their checks and have no reason to pull me over. 👍🏾
I don’t understand why anyone would buy a Sur Ron over a normal motorbike? I actually cannot fathom it at all? In saying that, I wish there was a good electric motorbike with decent range. Few more years before that becomes a possibility.
I wanted something electric and something I could take off-road/ trails. I do know what you mean though… it also has a few benefits over a normal motorbike, no servicing, virtually no maintenance, no fuel, no road tax, costs less than a pound to charge. The downsides are, the initial cost, and the range. And I mainly wanted it to commute to work and avoid traffic and not have to worry about speed bumps which are on every single road near me. I was considering selling it for a normal motorbike but decided I’ll keep it and get another bike too (next year when I have to do my full license)
@@Sur-Ron I see your points mate. Still for the price you pay, could have bought an e-bike and an e-moped (or road legal 50cc scrambler). I just think the Sur Ron looks like a kids dirt bike and is meant for fields, not the main roads. I can still see their appeal tbh and they look like great fun, but I’d still pick a petrol driven motor over an electric on anything more than a bicycle. They just don’t have the range for the money you are paying and whilst they may pay off over time in terms of fuel and tax savings, all battery powered bikes/ motorbikes are straight up a pain to constantly charge, especially if planning any trip more than 100kms from your home. The infrastructure is getting there for cars, but not even close for e-motorbikes or regular e-bikes. Indeed a great city traffic beating tool, but there are certainly far cheaper options with much greater ranges that also work well in the city.
@@NoelG-IRE all your points are completely true but it does what I need it to do. I just wanted an alternative to taking my car to work everyday. And the range isn’t really an issue for me as I very rarely travel that far and if I need to I just take my car. I can also fit it in my parents car if fold down the back seats, take the front wheel off the Sur-Ron and put in the car, and because it’s so light it’s easy to do.
@@NoelG-IRE you say that mate but theres a massive lack of decent 125 ofroaders, sure you coulf get a wr or something but the power on one of these is gonna be much better suited off road than a wr125, or you could go the two stroke route like i have, ive got a 2001 DTR but it cost over 3k when i bought it could probably add close to a grand now, and the mpg on these two strokes is awful, so im planning to get one of these for the work journeys to keep the mileage down on the dtr
@@SDrizzy ok but what IF you wanted to go on a longer spin? You have to buy and carry another battery or stop and wait for it to charge. That’s my problem, the range and the cost vs a combustion powered bike. What if you want to go to a proper track for the day? These batteries are not cheap and have an ultimate life. They are only designed for a certain number of charges and after that they start to degrade. For me, they will cost you more money in the long run and I don’t think they will
hold there value either. Plus most people buying them for off-road end up changing out the forks immediately and upgrading lots of other things. Cutting wires to derestrict them etc. just seems to me like they are an expensive toy and would not prepare you to drive a bigger bike which you will inevitably want to do once you realise 70mph is not that fast
It's not road legal.
Why?
