    Dirt Bike Magazine tests the Surron Storm Bee electric dirt bike in Southern California with Jared Hicks on the handlebars and a full review from editor Mark Tilley. This is Surron's first attempt at a more off-road big bike style dirt bike. It has front/rear brakes on the handlebars, a power mode switch, disc brakes and more. Mark Tilley gives you some insight on how this bike feels on the trail. Is the power good? Can it last a long time? What was the suspension like? All those questions are answered and more in this video.
    This bike actually made it all the way through the 24 Hour Race at Glen Helen Raceway! Impressive! Wait until you hear about it!

    Love it! Its 2 wheels on dirt, may not be everyone's cup of joe but glad you are testing these! I'd take one without much hesitation and use it for what it is.

    Love the electric dirtbikes. the first place where electric makes sense on two wheels. keep it up. this is only getting better from here on

    I ride for fun, not to impress anyone or to compensate for anything. This can open up more areas to ride closer to home when I don’t have the time to truck my full size bike somewhere. Being able to go for a quick ride right out my back door without upsetting the nearby acreage owners sounds VERY FUN! 😎👍
    I love riding on two wheels. Anyone that hates on it just because it’s electric isn’t a hard core dirt rider IMO. Your riding buddies that have one will be getting more seat time and will be better than you in short order! 😜

      Its not just noise restricting trails. It will just move on to the ecological impact on the soil of riding over it after were on electric bikes. Nothing will change unless it's a closed course on private property.

    How does it do off of a big double? Does it feel balanced? Heavy up front when you hit big air? Does it have a clutch? That motor noise sounds like a riding with a dry rusty chain.

    #1 question: When they raced the 24 hour, how many batteries did they have and how long did it take to charge each one?

  • @Cbotham
    @Cbotham 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

    My concern is what is the maintenance cost on these things battery life and etc. if I had to say anyone wanting to get into dirtbike riding, definitely should be getting a plated dirtbike these days. It gives you the ability to ride anywhere in any state two or four stroke just get a plate on it.

    • @jesterfield2
      @jesterfield2 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Batteries on these bikes are designed to last over 10 years or 50000 plus miles without out issues. A new battery is about the same price as a four stroke rebuild. Motor and transmission are basically a life time product. Run costs are a fraction of the cost of gas. To charge the battery costs about a $1.50.

    • @algee8228
      @algee8228 6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Battery life will be an issue for a while and will limit these bikes to certain types of uses...but for what you can use them for they will be great. Maintenance? What maintenance!? Change tires, sprockets, chains when they wear out. The ICE bikes at the 24-hour should have needed an oil change or two to get through the race, and some of them probably blew up or seized.

    • @doubledantastic
      @doubledantastic 6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      @@algee8228 I have one, and the battery lasts pretty long unless you are just straight ripping the track. Single track and trail riding in Colorado, it lasts a few hours no problem. That's a pretty decent amount of riding time.

    • @MrChadx1
      @MrChadx1 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Maintenance costs are a fraction of ICE bikes. I have both electric and ICE dirtbikes and love both (or anything with two wheels really including MTB and eMTB). No issues with battery in the five years of ownership and looks like I'll get a fair number of more years out of it. But if I do need to replace the battery, I'll have saved so much on gas, oil/filters, my time doing all those and also air filter oiling and valve adjustments, and cost and labor of top end rebuilds, I'll come out way ahead price-wise. (I built a spreadsheet to track and compare expenses). And even more ahead if having to do an engine bottom end in the same number of years of ownership. I love riding both as they are really different, but both fun in their own way.

    • @MrChadx1
      @MrChadx1 หลายเดือนก่อน

      They sound more annoying in videos that real life. And most of that is at higher speeds. For tight, gnarly, mountain single track, electrics are great and most of that high pitch RC type sound isn't there at slow speeds. It's kind of neat being able to year things that you normally can't (tires on the loose rocks and roots) and you start keying off those sounds as you ride to make subtle control adjustments. And the ability of everyone to give each other a hard time as you ride along. Ha.
