ceramic brake pads with floating vented front disc was the only combination of brake formula that I've ever used and had an effective long lasting result when riding electric bikes. this combination makes the brakes feel as effective and efficient as a motocross bike(or dirt bike as you call it in the states). I built an off road ebike 13 years ago and ran it to work 5 days a week for three years, this said you can imagine how much I learned and experimented over the three years until finally I got it nailed😉. Great vid I'd love to have the area and terrain to play like you have. have fun dude enjoyed watching this adventure. Russell from UK
Hey, I think the cutoff your experiencing when your battery is getting low is the controller's over current protection. Power = Volts x Amps, as the battery voltage drops, the motor current has to increase to provide the Set Power on your controller. Either try decreasing your Motor Phase Amps on your controller or decrease the Max Power. Here is an comparison for the current required to achieve 10 000W at different voltages: (Battery amps and not Motor Phase Amps, Phase Amps can be over 3 times Battery Amps) 10 000W = 84V x 119A 10 000W = 72V x 139A 10 000W = 60V x 167A Try decreasing your phase amps to 400A and try it again when your battery voltage is about 65V to see if it still cutoff. To much Phase Amps is what can fry your motor. Decreasing Phase Amps a bit on your controller and keeping the same Max Power will not be that much noticeable above half battery, however you will loose some torque on take off when the battery drops below half battery, but you will increase your range and reduce the motor temperature while prolonging motor life. Cheers Dan
Thanks for the detailed comment man, I had a feeling this was the exact issue. I’m going to drop the phase amps to 400 from 430 and see if that fixes it. Happy riding man!
Ac motor?? dc to inverter to ac ?? as the motor turns slower while being put under the same amount of resistance less of the motor gets more of the heat - the motor is a electric field expanding and collapsing less volts less expansion smaller collapse a battery has current limits the controller produces the ac wave either the controller is limiting or the controller is failing to maintain the drive wave less volts less expansion less collapse , not sure how this bike works - im looking at buying one
I have the 72v battery upgrade on mine but also (after some engineering) added gears, chain, and pedal assist. This helps range and hauls ass even more especially up hills!!
Just ran into your YT's. Nice sensible upgrades much along the lines I want to do. I receive a new Sur Ron in a week or so. Gonna learn it stock... Liking your 70/38 batt. Range looks good. Wheelies look easy. Like you I will be figuring out what I can get away with on the streets - gotta keep it real. Keep up the good rides & vids. 🙂
I traded a beautiful 03” turbo Sentra spec v for a spanking new 22” surronX maybe the car was worth more but I got all the fun I could and hit the budget cut after 7 yrs so the Sur X was nothing but a reincarnated version of the fruits of my labor and the instant gratification of the free feeling of riding is comparable.
From what I understand... this is considered a motorcycle and requires a title and plates- due to the lack of pedals, and also there is no restriction for speed. Many will be getting tickets as law enforcement becomes more aware I'm sure. I may be wrong and actually would like to see no restrictions... Will be interesting to hear other comments.
Beauty of being so small if you evade it's hard for them to justify backup. Just canly proceed don't be a hooligan but don't stop. They'll leave you alone in 5 to 10 minutes
Since you can order it with pedals and it doesn’t require a drivers license or anything they can’t really give you tickets, they can try and stop you but you could easily get out of any situation
I have the gle bac8 with thumb regen..I dont use my breaks anymore ...I also don't have any cut outs..I ride way harder then what you just did and have not had any problems with slippage..no overheat..and she doesn't lose power as the volts drop...your not going to melt your motor running 12k..I run 15k on 1 mode and 7k for mode 2 for noobs that wanna ride her...my total so far is 84 miles with 21 percent left..average was 16mph with many 40 mph pulls for fun...72v 38ah battery is all you need..next upgrade is the KO motor ..she runs 30k...so 15k is easy street...
Sweeet. I think skipping the motor calibration may have caused this? 84 miles in one charge is insane, you must be a featherweight! Crazy to think you even need a motor upgrade with those numbers, have fun riding!
Excellent video, I really enjoy your rides. It would be really cool to be able to ride to the places you can from your house. Next we need a top speed pull from full battery and then some off road stuff.
@@JuicedJoyrides that’s awesome. All the Karen’s around here make it not fun to ride a sur ron. I can only take it on the street here and most roads around me 60 mph is moving traffic, even on the upgraded battery it feels dangerous
Try to see the voltage under high current at lower battery percentage. You may be triggering the low voltage protection in the Battery Management System.
Awesome man, was waiting for this vid! I wonder if it would be prudent to carry an extra primary belt and if it would be something you could change on the side of the road? I would love to see you screaming down the 405 with a full battery... subscriber request 😀! Safe riding my friend, greetings from Germany 🇩🇪 🍻👍
😂 may have to do the 405 soon. As far as changing the primary belt on the fly, it could be done I’m sure, but it seems to be a pretty in depth installation procedure. You need to take the whole rear end off, etc, prob not something you’d want to do on your first attempt doing it 😆
that power cutting off is probably the voltage cut off protection. Battery low, voltage low and when u gun it the voltage sags tripping of that low voltage cut off protection. Lithium batteries are very finicky, they like to stay within a certain range voltage wise. Not too high and not too low. Outside its happy range, you stress the battery and it will start to degrade exponentially faster. Thats why people say don't charge to 100% all the time and also don't take it to 0% all the time. Between around 85% and around 50%, if you keep it there most of the time you will get a battery that will last thousands and thousands of cycles
67V would be the bottom line on where you would want to deplete this 72V battery, that correlates to about %30 left ... Are my calculations correct OR am I missing something here ?? TY 4 TA VID !!
Nice test and with a good Result! But ... A Stock Surron is around 4.7k in $! In Europe Over 5 plus the big 72v bat Raises the Price up to 7.2k😱 Some Extras and You passed 7.5k Thats a lot for a Smal Ebike!
I did a small range test but my average speed was a little over 30mph, my results were a bit different lol. Making me want to get rid of my mini motos I feel like they eat battery
your belt drive will start slipping if you give it too much you will hear it make a unique throwup noise haha. those motors can take a good 3x their rated power but NON for constant full power. The waste heat from the extra juice being pumped into it will wreck it. the bike should be fine with 15/30 seconds of full power boosts. you might be getting bad voltage sag at the end there where youre having those strange cutoffs in power
Thanks for the tips, hope to never hear that vomit noise 😂, I was thinking your theory may be right, also maybe because I skipped the motor calibration 😆
😂 I was so angry at myself, I was trying to time speaking to the camera with the light change and then smoke him, but I messed up the timing. I didn’t upload the after wards clip but I yelled f***. On another note, his scooter was surprisingly quick.
Great video brother!👍.. can you tell us how much gains a fully stock surron gets with a 72v? The best first upgrade is the battery right? Bcs you get power plus range an I right?
Just remember if you get a 72 v yoy have to have a new controller right way or if you go at the 60v you can use stock till you get a new controller and the new controller will open the battery up even more
Stock bypassed, which probably isn’t much different then stock at all because when I rode out there I did not utilize high power, I was just cruising at the same power level the non bypassed battery could do
Have you had any problems getting pulled over in la? I’m planning on getting the same bike in a few weeks and I was wondering if I’m gonna have to dodge cops or if they just don’t pay much attention? I live in Hollywood if that makes any difference. Do you ride on the freeways or do you just stick to surface streets? And what mods have you done so far? Im super happy I just found this video and I gave you a follow. Ps you passed my apartment around 5 minutes in 😅
Haha small world, no cops probs, dude have you seen Hollywood? It’s a free for all over there as well as the rest of this city 😂. Sometimes I do kinda suck and dodge a bit haha, but just try to ride respectful. My channel homepage shows all the mods I’ve done. Happy riding brother!
@@JuicedJoyrides when you say you duck and dodge a little bit, how are you able to do that sitting at a light in traffic with no plates? I assume you have either no job or no car or neither job nor car, or, most likely, no job or car you care about
I have a Talaria, I’m not sure how chi batteries work with them. This was a good video. I just want to know, was your speed 15 to 20 mile per hour the whole time?
They have a whole section of Talaria bstteries on most battery sites im looking at chi.I plan on getting the 60v 75ah so I can still use my stock controller till I can afford the controller I want and get a ton of extra range in the meantime the only problem is I'm Canadian and these batteries are twenty-seven hundred bucks plus $318 shipping USD that comes out to about 4100 bucks 😭 canadian
I have a great idea 💡 for a video, put 2 road tyres /semi slick no wider than 2.3" on her then do a on road test doing 15mph ,see how far she'll take you .Nobody as far as I can see has put narrower tyres on for a supermax commuter range test,make sure you carry no extra weight and don't have breakfast 😉 🤟💯🙏🤠
😆 I like the idea, I’ll take it into consideration. I think I saw a guy do an extreme range test cruising at 15ish. Ultimately that is the real key to the longest range, just go 15mph steady and have the most boring time of your life haha. I’m working on a new top speed video at the moment, having struggles getting over 70
@@JuicedJoyrides And you must have narrower tyres for less friction, pumped up HARD,haven't seen anyone do a vid with narrow tyre's on.You don't look very heavy so you could getaway with using 1.95 tyres, although you may have trouble finding any with the size of wheels these bikes come with.
Hey I just got my 38 amp hour 72 V battery and I got the qs8 wire I know you got the same battery I'm just wondering where did you put the wires I'm having a hard time figuring it out where to put it on the side or inside the lid just curious to see where you put them

@@JuicedJoyrides No. Don't patronize me. You know full well that fluffy cats or even a labrador would provide positive connotations and show positive externalities like wonderful comments from onlookers. I'd recommend a Maine Coon cat or a Nowegian forest cat. You know they're fluffy and cute. If you want 'edgy' dark and batman like: you ought to have a physique with latissimus dorsaii and medial deltoids to get that v-shape. Superhero physiques deserve superhero bikes. You are clearly that of a long distance runner type so have some sensual and softness to it and put some cat or doggo stuff on it to suit your sensitive side and looks. Make sense? Thank you for reading.
Probably could have better performing street tires, mine are designed for 70% street riding. They’re a bit heavy, but they roll well, I’m learning they don’t do great on dirt
stock chain works, i wanted to try a new one for better efficiency. bac8000 is better technically, the 4000 is plenty to handle the power upgrades ive done. it seems the first limiting factor would be top speed of just under 80 mph, not that theres any reason to ever go that fast on one of these...50 feels sketchy enough!
Has anyone had a fried motor from the bigger battery? I've seen broken frames, a battery in flames once, bent hydraulics and tires but never a worn out motor.
@@JuicedJoyrides thank you for replying. Do you think the motor can last long term with the battery upgrades and modding? Wouldn't it get a little too hot and kill the magnets? I've seen a person on TH-cam water cool their motor and get 23k Watts at 50 centigrade (their words)
@@freetobe3 honestly, like you said, I don’t think anybody is really having problems with the motor on this bike unless you do something absolutely insane
@@JuicedJoyrides thank you. I need to save up to get one, they're so cool but paying for registration adds another 1k to the bike and my wallet is pretty empty as is. Oh well, we'll see. This would do great on the small island I live on.
Hey! If you’ve considered buying a second Sur Ron, I’m selling my 2022 with 114 miles on it in San Diego! Have purchase order and everything it comes in the box as well! Selling for 4300 but I’d do 4k for you. Let me know!
Have you seen the KO motor? If you are worried about frying the stock one on 72v look into the ko motor. Ur Bike would be a set up power wise after that fs. Im looking at getting their controller/motor kit if I go 72v.
blows my mind how people perceive battery capacity. i like my battery to be at least 3kwhr per 100lbs of vehicle. I used to run a 72v 70ah. a battery just over 5kwhr and it still wasn't enough range for me to be happy. Especially with surrons. it seems like 10% of the possible range is eaten up by the inefficient dual drive chain. but it's whatever. still love the surron lol
the non o-ring chain helped with the power loss in the drive train, how did you feel about the extra weight of that battery? that thing mustve been HUGE haha
@@JuicedJoyrides I can see that. I used an extremely loose (55hz) belt to help with some of the loss. With the weight of the battery it was pretty heavy. I wanna say at least 180 pounds. I took off all components that werent needed like the tilt sensor, 12v inverter, the turn key ignition, the locking mechanisms for the lid and the lid itself, all the plastic trimmings, etc. everything bare bones. I even lost 30 pounds to compensate for the extra weight. eventually me and the bike both weighed 180ish pounds lol. but it was super fun. managed to get a nuc24f and blasted my way to 85mph before my motor melted lol
Yes! Thanks to commenters, possibly you? I found in the EMB app I needed to switch to 72v and do a motor calibration as well. Now the bike works like how it did before, planning on showing that next video!
I was really interested in that one, I have to admit I feel like the weight of it might be kind of a lot for a bike that was so light at one time. How do you feel about the increased weight?

You are clearly that of a long distance runner type so have some sensual and softness to it and put some cat or doggo stuff on it to suit your sensitive side and looks. Make sense? Thank you for reading.
Would you get better range and top speed with street tires?
Probably could have better performing street tires, mine are designed for 70% street riding. They’re a bit heavy, but they roll well, I’m learning they don’t do great on dirt
sweet, wish this is how they came stock. what are you doing with your stock battery? keeping it as a back up?
Planning on selling it. I think one day bikes like this will come like this from the store, it’s all just kinda brand new still
What phone holder were you using in this video? Thanks
Yeah dude I really want to get to 72 volt 38 amp hour I'm wondering are you happy with going with the 38 amp hour and not the 51 amp hour
Definitely, the 51 would’ve made it weigh far too much
If your that Concerned turn it down too 8000w someone else runs his at 12000w and broke his belt 🤔
I saw that video, trying to take it easy 😆 also I wonder if he got a stick snagged in there or something
So if I get a Surron and put a 72v max or 60 max I would need a better chain? And would a bac 4000 or 8000 be better?
stock chain works, i wanted to try a new one for better efficiency. bac8000 is better technically, the 4000 is plenty to handle the power upgrades ive done. it seems the first limiting factor would be top speed of just under 80 mph, not that theres any reason to ever go that fast on one of these...50 feels sketchy enough!
Yeah I understand . So the chain doesn’t really matter? Cause I bet it would be sketchy to go that fast on one of those
that belt wont break.. wheelie guys run this set up
I hope not!
Has anyone had a fried motor from the bigger battery? I've seen broken frames, a battery in flames once, bent hydraulics and tires but never a worn out motor.
the motor is strong af, all the motor upgrades are a cash grab it seems
@@JuicedJoyrides thank you for replying. Do you think the motor can last long term with the battery upgrades and modding? Wouldn't it get a little too hot and kill the magnets? I've seen a person on TH-cam water cool their motor and get 23k Watts at 50 centigrade (their words)
@@freetobe3 honestly, like you said, I don’t think anybody is really having problems with the motor on this bike unless you do something absolutely insane
@@JuicedJoyrides thank you. I need to save up to get one, they're so cool but paying for registration adds another 1k to the bike and my wallet is pretty empty as is. Oh well, we'll see. This would do great on the small island I live on.
@@freetobe3 what island?
Hey! If you’ve considered buying a second Sur Ron, I’m selling my 2022 with 114 miles on it in San Diego! Have purchase order and everything it comes in the box as well! Selling for 4300 but I’d do 4k for you. Let me know!
thanks for the offer man, i don't have any need for another bike in my small space :D why did you decide not to keep it?
@@JuicedJoyrides Roger that! Going to be moving to the Philippines soon. Probably just going to do a Honda supermoto build there.
Did you sell it?
@@stopper90004 not yet. It’s on offerup in San Diego. Listed at $4500 but I’ve got wiggle room.
I want to buy one
So would you say controller and battery upgrade was worth it?
For sure, these upgrades change the bike from a toy to a beast
Have you seen the KO motor? If you are worried about frying the stock one on 72v look into the ko motor. Ur Bike would be a set up power wise after that fs. Im looking at getting their controller/motor kit if I go 72v.
Did you get a new controller as well?
Yes, I have a review of it on my channel, it’s the bac4000
What is the price on this upgraded battery?
I have a video on my channel showing all about the battery, $2300
@@JuicedJoyrides so $3200 in battery/controller upgrades alone???
@@mct8888 yep
@@Ryan-uh9le that’s insane. I’m gettin eBeast.
Is it possible to keep the same performance with the 72V battery as the original but only get increased range?
To a degree, but 2 60v batts (or simply a larger 60v) would do better ... Better suited to increase range
Did you find out why it was cutting the power? Thanks
I did, I think it was because I did not do the motor calibration, it might be because my phase answer to high as well, I will update in a future video
Ya but is a bit chuncky for the seat aha
Are these street legal in California?
My motor did that before it went out….
😆 what happened? Push it too hard?
app ??
What app were you ising?
Strava
So is that street legal can you get it registered or do you need to?
It’s a grey area
......The downside is that between an 4000/8000 BAC controller + 72V 38AH battery you can almost buy a New Surron !!
The way this dude says sirrrr RON… Watched a lot of your videos, great videos but for some reason that irks me 😂
Did he say what his weight was?
I weight 195 lbs, 6’5”
@@JuicedJoyrides Thanks, did you ride your 12kw mode the whole ride?
@@JuicedJoyrides damn big guy
so how much was your new bat?
Made a video on it, like 2300?
Can you take your older battery with you for even extended range?
, Yes definitely possible, not sure how much fun it would be riding around with a 25 pound extra battery.
@@JuicedJoyrides make a mount or rack over the rear fender.
lmao, you know how heavy that battery is? @@Huntersmokescrack
blows my mind how people perceive battery capacity. i like my battery to be at least 3kwhr per 100lbs of vehicle.
I used to run a 72v 70ah. a battery just over 5kwhr and it still wasn't enough range for me to be happy.
Especially with surrons. it seems like 10% of the possible range is eaten up by the inefficient dual drive chain.
but it's whatever. still love the surron lol
the non o-ring chain helped with the power loss in the drive train,
how did you feel about the extra weight of that battery? that thing mustve been HUGE haha
@@JuicedJoyrides I can see that. I used an extremely loose (55hz) belt to help with some of the loss.
With the weight of the battery it was pretty heavy. I wanna say at least 180 pounds. I took off all components that werent needed like the tilt sensor, 12v inverter, the turn key ignition, the locking mechanisms for the lid and the lid itself, all the plastic trimmings, etc. everything bare bones. I even lost 30 pounds to compensate for the extra weight. eventually me and the bike both weighed 180ish pounds lol. but it was super fun. managed to get a nuc24f and blasted my way to 85mph before my motor melted lol
Subbed
Thanks dude
Did you ever get the Bike to work with eggrider off?
Yes! Thanks to commenters, possibly you? I found in the EMB app I needed to switch to 72v and do a motor calibration as well. Now the bike works like how it did before, planning on showing that next video!
@@JuicedJoyrides yes it was me I have a 72v so I knew the problem. Glad you got it working!
mines a 53 ah battery
I was really interested in that one, I have to admit I feel like the weight of it might be kind of a lot for a bike that was so light at one time. How do you feel about the increased weight?
@@JuicedJoyrides they have 63 ah one now
Heat up the motor 🤔😳
It’s holding up strong still
Biouti foul!!!
15 mph average is pretty slow...
your's sounds louder than usual ..
I wonder where he purchased that bicycle ???
Ha ha ha

Plz plz plz say sur ron in one word surron not sur ron it is very annoying
Haha, you got it
why don't you keep this off a bike lane
Calories? Lol wtf

I can't believe y'all are buying these surrons for $4500. So I should have no issue selling my custom carbon fiber 2004 Buell xb9s for $10000.
so ur telling me i have to spend nearly 3000$ extra just to make the surron actually usable? yikes.
depends on your definition of usable, its certainly good out of the box, but a few $k and it becomes the lambo pev's
