This is my first time viewing your channel and instantly subscribed! I love this. As a Toronto rider, exploring alleys and laneways is one of my favourite things to do in the saddle. You get to know such a different face of a city, whether here or in South Central. Cheers!
I ALWAYS wear my GoPro when I ride for the exact same reasons - Got hit by a car and you capture the craziest things that people wouldn't believe if it wasn't on video!
Love your videos jon. Keep doin what ur doin. Watched your channel for a long time back in high school, just now rediscovering your videos and the new sur Ron content is awesome.
Cool vid! Thanks for the tour. Btw, "Spongy" brake levers usually means the line needs a bleed. Pro-tip: When doing a bleed push the brake pistons in and wedge something in between to hold the pads out while bleeding then you willl have crisp action once you're done.
I'm super close to where you were today. I want you to do a comparison with my Talaria Sting whenever ur free bro. Also will let you ride it from 100% to 20% because in my opinion, it still accelerate as if it was a full battery. Still hit 47-49mph in sport. Btw, ZEAL RACING in Palmdale where I bought my bike informed me to NOT let the battery go below 20% because it will eventually mess up the bike and also DON'T charge the battery unless it's 20-30%. I'm getting the 72v battery anyway but still want to keep my stock battery for backup. Love the content bro. You're definitely a LEGEND
Great ride as usual! Front brakes provide 80-90% of stopping power due to momentum pushing your weight forward at speed - your front pad will wear out faster. You still want to use both brakes together every time - just front braking may pitch you over and just the rear will cause you to skid out. Be safe Hicks!
Great first video of the year. Always enjoy your Sur Ron cruising vids. That alley at @8:13 reminds me of the alley scene in that move, Colors with Robert Duvall. L.A. looks wild.
Ep6 already on the sur ron? Dang I haven't watched watched since you used to do giveaways and was sponsored. I think I still have one of your old hoodies you had up online too. The classic HF in a circle. Definitely gotta binge the videos and see what's been going on.
Mad Props to how you ride Bro! People need to see the rawness of the world we live in, not just for exploitation but simply for the realness of reality outside the bubble that a lot of people live within. Be safe out there Bro, the Beast will eat you alive. 🙏
Yessir gotta love it the bike is a little heavy lol im a skinny tall dude so i get thrown back never really messed with dirtbikes but when i seen this majestic machine i was in love
Thanks for being a humble TH-camr and letting me take a pic with you Hicks, I can't be more thankful.. HixFam for life 💫 hope to see you on 7th again sometime
I used to watch your content when you first started becoming noticed, saw all the highs all the lows. Hope you're doing good and your life is in a much better position.
try moddin tha surron for performance like changing the battery to a 72v battery and get like a bac4000 they expensive ash but they get the top speed to like 70 mph i think and range is doubled. if u want max try bac8000 if ur serious bout tha surron gng
A bike like the Sur Ron could never really being the 80 lbs range. 100lbs would be rock bottom due to powerful enough motor and a decent battery. The Segway x160 is pretty much that bike. It's quite literally a smaller, slower Sur Ron with a smaller battery. They have been discontinued (afaik), but can still be found used. Parts are plentiful too, because it shares most of the same parts with the Sur Ron. You might want to check that out.
You see so many older nineties and early 2000 cars that don't even exist here in Ontario Canada anymore because of the salt put on the roads in the winter. Plus are climate is hard on vehicles as well.
I wish I did a little more research for an ebike. Ended up getting the pedal awd 3 from pedal, but I would've easily spent the extra thousand for the sur-ron x. One of the biggest things I noticed is the parts are far cheaper to replace too.
Came back to finish this video and yes, I remember the movie Escape From L.A. and also Escape From N.Y.! It was with Kurt Russel , who played the character of Snake Plissken. Hideo Kojima based the character of Solid Snake off of him, for his Metal Gear Solid video game series! :D
Like your vids bro. Keep it up. If i may drop a suggestion; put a smal realtime map in the upper or bottom corner 2 see your realtime location. Greetings from the Netherlands
I live in a small village of around 60 people, the next nearest village is 20 miles away, it has a population of maybe 500.. The nearest "city" is Inverness, it's 55 miles away & it has 46,000 people.. Watching videos like this just blows my mind.! My anxiety is sky high seeing how busy it is. Where I live everyone waves & says hello to everyone they see even if we don't know them.. I simply wouldn't know how to carry myself in a place like you live.!... I'd need a chaperone.! 😂 😂 😂
You should have went through there on a Friday closer toward the afternoon time. Looks like you went there on an early Monday morning when nobody is out.
I drove down the main street in Compton Cali Back in the ninties. I was in a Mercedes and three lowriders came out of nowhere and started chasing us down the street. I got on the freeway and hit the gas. They kept chasing and we saw a cop car. We caught up to the cops and they ignored us and the others so I hit the magic bitten under the gas peddle and left them all in the dust.
Great content, lots of diversity, new Mike is clear, & I like the helmet chin mount on the GoPro. What is Swift droid? Is that an app, because I could not find it? I LIKED, & still a subscriber. Great Surron ride!👍👊🤙
I’m curious, if you’re walking and riding a bike through different hoods, what color is a mutual color ? It seems like every color represents something.. I’d say white or black, but that represents a gang to. So what color do neutral people wear ? Pink ? Orange?

Amazing navigational skills and interesting exploration of the streets of LA. We love your videos.
Bruh I’m excited af to watch this whole video. I literally watch you from start to finish. You’re dope bro.
I appreciate that
Gay
Dunno how many years I’ve been subbed to you for, nothing more relaxing than watching you ride around, love from Scotland I wish we could ride someday
I ALWAYS wear my GoPro when I ride for the exact same reasons - Got hit by a car and you capture the craziest things that people wouldn't believe if it wasn't on video!
Been watching since 2018! Love your videos! I can't explain it, but they always cheer me up 🤣
Glad you like them!
@John Hicks we also have a Church's Texas Chicken way up here in Brantford, Ontario, Canada lol. If it's the same thing.
@@ScottyDoezntKnow can’t believe someone else from Brantford is watching. 👍
Love this sort of thing. I just love exploring all parts of a city on bike. I'm shit at tricks but I feel this vibe in a big way
I'm from England so everywhere you ride looks cool as hell even the bad parts I love riding my ebike great video man nice one
John, had a Honda 200X tried EVERY brake pad available (cheap to expensive)
NOTHING worked better then the stock Honda pads !!
Love your videos jon. Keep doin what ur doin. Watched your channel for a long time back in high school, just now rediscovering your videos and the new sur Ron content is awesome.

That HOB you kept seeing means hang out boys
I love these sur Ron videos, it makes me think of getting one soon. Keep up the sur Ron videos I really enjoy them❤
Yesssssir. Another year!!!!
Nothing sexier than a guy who has a big heart about animals. Just found your channel, and I love it!

Love the Sur Ron content, John.
Sweet trip and POV man, thank you! I jumped a little in my seat at that pylon you missed! Definitely would bleed the brakes if they are spongy.
There's a good jump in VENICE on rose between Lincoln and one block towards the beach. It's next to a chain link fence.
I watched this video almost all the way through. I can’t imagine watching another one.
Thanks for being a humble TH-camr and letting me take a pic with you Hicks, I can't be more thankful.. HixFam for life 💫 hope to see you on 7th again sometime
Watching how some people live, makes me feel super fortunate for the position my parents put me in.
Yep, looks like what they say! Stay safe!
I used to watch your content when you first started becoming noticed, saw all the highs all the lows. Hope you're doing good and your life is in a much better position.
My Grandfather was born in our home on Flower street in 1897 on the corner of 3rd and Flower.
Set up is 10/10 man! Awesome content !

I’ve always wanted to explore LA true LA and now I want one of those bikes
Whats you titling every video (Crips and bloods) ?
You see so many older nineties and early 2000 cars that don't even exist here in Ontario Canada anymore because of the salt put on the roads in the winter. Plus are climate is hard on vehicles as well.
some of those puddles and some of that trash water and who knows what, I couldn't imagine riding through and getting splashed by
Love the ride. Stay safe out there Uk here
