Sur-Ron X Chain Drive Conversion | How To Make The E-Moto More Reliable

In an effort to make the Sur-Ron more reliable off-road, I decided to ditch the stock belt drive system. In it's place is a full chain-drive conversion that uses a 13-tooth front gear and 30-tooth jack-shaft gear. The biggest draw is I know have a D.I.D 420 D motorcycle chain keeping me moving. I purchased my setup through eBay early this year (2021). It was stupid expensive compared to the one Luna Cycle sells, but Luna didn't have anything in stock. I would recommend buying it through them (or wherever you can get the best deal with quality parts).

Awesome brother! I just replaced the belt but should’ve got the chain conversions 👌🏽 I hit that sub button too, so close to 1000 man!!! 🚀

Thank you!

Was your bike harder to roll, with the chain drive? I had a shop install my chain conversion and since then it feels like my rear tire has a ton of resistance to spin

[@Ali_Mansour_Editor]

I haven’t noticed it being harder to roll. It’s much louder, but that’s the only real difference.

@@Ali_Mansour_Editor ok thanks, I think the shop put my primary drive chain too tight….

[@yevgeniylankin7032]

That’s most likely due to the fact that the primary chain probably uses orings, just like stock chain. Orings cause resistance.

The luna 219 kit is garbage, you did yourself a favor. Also, you should actually be getting slightly better range. A belt is only around 80% efficient, whereas a chain is 95%.

That’s good to know on the Luna kit. As soon as my shoulder heals, I’m heading back to the mountains with the bike. It will be interesting to compare the range.
