I've got a 2020 model (probably a prototype) which I was able to buy used in Mongolia where I live - I'm a British expat. The previous owner imported it directly from the Chinese factory in April 2021. I've done a few rides and been very impressed so far. I'm trying to winterize it now for extreme weather since Mongolia has a very cold winter. I'm making a battery insulator/warmer to keep the battery pack warm enough in -20C to -30C. Also, I've added some KTM handguards which will support the handlebar muffs that I've made.
@@Beniamin6665 What USA dealer network will that be? New retailers? Existing ICE motorcycle dealerships? Luna? In other words, where could we see one in person, get a test ride, buy one? Thanks.
@@eddieb3915 not Luna, they already said no because they only deal with classified bicycles. I have a feeling it's going to be a long time before these are available in the US because dealers are going to want to have to actually take a chance on selling them and I have a feeling they're not going to be anywhere near as cheap as the sur rons were. Probably triple the price at a dealer.
@@petergriffin4629 yah, but it’s not quite there yet. It’s only got 18 kw of power, trial sized, impossible to mod and fucking expensive. Although I’m guessing this machine is going to be in the same ballpark but I believe it has like 25 kw or something? Which is pretty impressive.
@@happygnome4620 Well, I mean nobody said it was a 450 competitor, but the dude claimed the chinese overtook us and that's as far from it as possible. Those communist bastards still can only steal and copy.
La Storm es una buena moto electrica para la calle, en pista y cerro se siente pesada, especialmente de adelante, ademas requiere una bateria de mayor alcance , aunque sea menos potente.
sooo it dosent stop when you ride it through a river and you dont have to clean an air filter and thats a review... or as david says "a rave review" ok.
Nice marketing/propaganda. The title says David Knight does a review, then there is no review, just a music video of David riding the bike, with some slow motion clips. No information we actually need, like how long can you ride it in sport mode, how long does it take to charge it, and most important, how much would a 2nd battery cost, and how long does it take to swap the battery out. Some other important info would be, what is the estimated cost, in U.S. dollars. In my opinion, if that bike can not run for at least 4 hours on a charge, and a 2nd battery is affordable, it will never work for me. And I mean 4 hours in sport mode with full power in use. If it only runs for an hour or two in sport mode, and a 2nd battery would cost $2,000, or more, the bike is worthless to me.
@@danphelps8120 I think you’re going to need to speak to my mother about that? 51 years ago. She is a woman only real women can give birth too by the way😂😂 Ouch.

nice!
Thanks graham have a good season! If you need something to train on that won’t annoy the neighbours reach out to us !

Is this thing ever gonna come out?
When will the US see the storm bee? Will it be direct to consumer? Or dealer network?
Dealer Network

@@JoshStreetDesign they are in The U.K. soon if anyone serious wants one
( I.e. an actual order not a tyre kicker )
I don't know about the USA but Canada's distributor is saying Q2 2022.
How can we test it? In Romania is possible?
When is Stormby going to be released?
I want it so bad.
Very nice 👍
I love what Surron has accomplished. Who would have bet that China would leapfrog Europe and Japan in producing an electric Enduro bike?
Isn't the KTM freeride on the market for half a decade?

What’s the trail range?
What engine does it use? QS??
in house built, 22.5 kw---30hp
Straight up... Bad ass! Who would have figure..
@@Beniamin6665 If you can mod it like the light bee expect to crank it up to 50 even 60 hp
@@taxximaxxi Insane......
That's actually underpowered for how heavy this thing is at 276 lb. This thing is 50lb heavier than my RMZ 250 dirt bike, and that has over 40hp.
but how heavy is it
appr 120kg
276lb

Nice very nice bike....I think this is an honest review from a guy that really knows. Cool
