good stuff my dude! When I first ordered my Surron back in 2020 everyone said it was gonna be a cop magnet... but didnt get stopped once.

Thanks a lot for the words! Really appreciate it! And I totally agree… don’t ride like a total moron and don’t give them a reason to stop you, and they won’t. I bumped into a cop in target yesterday and asked him the e bike laws here. He told me to go with the flow of traffic, wear a helmet, follow the laws of the road, and to stay off the multi path on bay drive. Pretty simple if you ask me 🤷🏻♂️ thanks again for watching and I hope you enjoy your new bike 🤙🏽
Love the vlog style! I’ll always tell people I would rather have a electric dirt bike I can ride anywhere any time over the most badass dirt bike. I’ve owned and ridden a lot of 2 strokes and 4 strokes. And I’d still take a Sur Ron over most because they’re just that fun. I’m not racing or competing so these are fine for me. Being able to fit almost anywhere and explore is what makes these so unique. You do it on a 2 stroke and you piss everyone off and get the cops called.
I’ve got it at 15… you think I should go lower? Scared to with this stock tire. Also… this is 20psi less than the manual recommends. Probably hurt the range slightly…🤷🏻♂️
@@freerfixedit Yeah id think 15psi is fine. I wouldnt want to go much lower and run the risk of spinning/ ripping the tube. One thing to note if you feel like wheelies always pulling a little to the right. Roads are slanted for water drainage so it will natrually lean to the right if youre balanced in the middle. I think you got it, just a little more pratice and youll have full control. Love the contect. Keep it up 🤘
Great sigma energy, and I can tell your parents raised you right. All of your videos are super helpful and watching them convinced me to get my own MX4. I should have it tomorrow and will be definitely rewatching mods and upgrade videos
Dude these vids are awesome. I felt that same feeling of exploration when my dad got a few normal electric bikes and there are so many skateparks and paths and trails I wouldn’t have known about it’s awesome. I’m saving for a talaria or surron, it’s been my dream for years. I’m really hoping 🙏🏻
Thanks! Really appreciate the feedback! And thanks for sharing, same with me, its really a fun way to explore and find new places... Best of luck getting a bike, hope you enjoy it and stay safe out there!
Nice video man. Keep going. You were one of my inspirations to buying this bike. Just got mine yesterday. Your break video helped me adjust my front break.
@@freerfixedit Yo man. I dropped it at a stop light on the 2nd day. Handlebar is slightly bent. Do they sell the handlebars separately? The bike is really powerful. Coming from an ONYX and AR Grizzly, it is a little scary.
@@WeRideN404 bro I get it. I have a 22 works edition crf 450 and I almost looped this bike the first time I tried to wheelie it! If you check the description of the video there’s a link for a set of 3” riser bars on Amazon. I haven’t tried them yet so I can’t speak for them, but they have the popular 3” rise and are still fairly wide compared to others. I’m looking into a riser bar or stem soon so let me know what you end up getting and how you like it
@@WeRideN404 also, these bikes, the way the stem mounts to the fork, often gets twisted when you drop the bike. Could be as easy as straightening the stem, unless the actual handlebar themselves are really bent. Then you’ll need to bend back or replace
those wheelies are pretty sweet , but i notice since you are on regen 4 you feel you dont need to press your back brake. this may seem fine but it will make you loop out in the long run, if you pop the bike and slightly brake at balance point , you will feel yourself pop into balance point with much more control. great video loved it
Thank you!! Since this I’ve dropped down to level 3. Been figuring out how much brake pressure to apply without slapping it down. Going to gradually back off regen all together. It’s just crazy how fast you gotta be with that back brake finger with how much torque this thing has.
@@freerfixedit yes it is very torqy, i put a 54t sprocket on mine and after a while of just popping the front over and over again, you will just gain the control to stay in a deeper balance point. it took me like 2 weeks before i just started to feel all the control over my bike in a wheelie. but you are well beyond on your way to perfect balance point
@@ismevictor7289 glad to hear it. Like I’ve said, I like my moto bikes choppered out and this bike is def stink bug front end heavy. Rode it in some sand today and almost died 😂 but since it sits the way it does, the balance point is way further back than I’m used to/comfortable with. Just a learning curve, but I appreciate the tips! Want to be doin knee knockers and seat stands soon 😅
finally a real range test great video :) but how long can you ride with 1 akku? is it possible that you can ride like 2-3 hours on the trails? sorry for my bad english XD
I like you videos cause your respectful to others when you ride it. When these kids acting like punks on them is when all the laws come into play. I get mine tomorrow thanks for helping me make my decision
Love to hear it! And thanks. I love to have my fun, but I also realize that over doing it and being a jackass will ruin it for everyone sooner or later. Myself included. I hope you enjoy it and be safe! 🤙🏽
Awesome footage man! I've had a 2022 Qulbix Q140MD for about a year but I'm planning on selling it and getting a Sting R. By the way, I also hear that sound in my front brakes, not sure what it is either.
None really. These are lipo batteries so the bike feels pretty much the same until you get below 10% or so. Then it goes into a limp mode to get you home. Feels like eco mode. But I can still pop wheelies and hit full speed at like 20%
I live in PA and was wondering if these bikes are street-legal. I've been doing a lot of research on these bikes and haven't pulled the trigger yet. I am 6'2 and weigh 185, and these bikes look so much fun.
Man your videos ROCK! I live in South AZ so mostly desert. What’s your opinion on the bike in sand? Also, I’m 200Lbs I know more weight more work the bike needs to do but anything structural in your opinion I may need to consider?
Thank you! Nothing structural to be concerned with. It doesn’t do so well in sand with the stock tires and stinkbug geometry. It just makes the front end a little twitchy cause the rear sits higher than the front. Still doable tho! 🤙🏽
Hey man love your videos. I'm getting mine in a couple of weeks. Do you have a link to any pegs that you recommend? I want to have them ready to go as soon as I get the bike. Thanks boss
I’m trying to find a pair that fit myself. I got a surron set and they drop below level. The red pegs I have now are crf 450 pegs that I had to modify to fit. They’re 27$ if you want the link I’ll send it when I get home. But I’m still searching for a peg that fits as a direct bolt on. No luck yet.
Are you in Kitty Hawk? My sting r arrives next Monday! I'm in Norfolk/Virginia Beach area. Looking to make friends if you ever want to ride! I do like that you're smart about your rides and take caution to other people/mtn bikes etc.. coming from a custom built diy bike I'm super stoked to ride something that's a more dialed in and safe xD
I haven’t ridden one myself, but the people that own them that get on the mx4 instantly regret getting the onyx over the sting. I can’t believe the onyx is more money too 🤯
@@freerfixedit thanks for the feedback. I’ve been leaning towards the Talaria for the better torque. Going 50 mph isn’t the goal but being able to pull out from a dog fast is my idea of more fun.
@@chamilton83 the talaria blows the onyx out of the water in every category. Also has a mid drive motor which is far more desirable than a hub motor on the back wheel. Acceleration is great and if you wanted even more you could go to a larger rear sprocket and get even more!
Dude having the same problem with wheelies, back to front is fine….it’s the side to side that I struggle with. Did you figure out a solution? Keep up the good work
Thanks man! Seems like getting it further back to the actual balance point helps a lot. Also going atleast 15mph stabilizes things a lot. But I will say, on this bike, wind plays a big factor. If it’s too windy it doesn’t matter what I do, I lean one way or another. Good luck and stay safe!
My weight is about 235/240 do you think my range and speed would be bad ? I’m thinking of get it for work, and it’s about 21 miles there and 21 miles back but when I’m at work I could charge it up to make it back home
I think a realistic real world range is about 40 miles for me. They’ve also been talking about adding 3x more regen to future models which will help with range tremendously! I’d say you would make it there, be able to charge, and get home. 30 miles seem to be the low average
Awesome! I was saving for the Surron x ,but then the talaria sting r had came out, and now I’m $61 dollars away from ordering it from Luna cycle! Love the content! keep grinding bro
@@Sean-Marshall I did a video on free mods/setup things you can do to the bike if you want to check that out. First thing I did was pegs, headlight, I haven’t done tires yet but I’d put some Dunlop mx33s on for dirt. Most everything I’ve done to my bike is listed in the description of my videos. Links all right there 🤙🏽
@@shaveddave if you sit on it and give it full throttle, it will do a backflip in place and put you on your ass. Only reason I suggest ultra bees or larger bikes is for heavier/larger framed people
@@freerfixedit I absolutely love SuperMoto Kit from GritShift. First off I have a 30" inseam so 19" rims are too tall for my riding pleasure and personal preference. Now I have kinda the opposite of you. On the road I don't have to worry about knobby tires trying to skip around in a tight turn. On the dirt I don't have enough traction to wheelie it like you have so in grass instead of gripping and tossing grass rooster tail and my front end coming up to the balance point I spin and get fishy tailed... I grew up on knobby tires and dirt. But for Street Riding it hugs the road. So much fun..... I have not seen an automobile that can keep up with me from 0-30mph...
The US REALLY needs to figure out a way to let these on certain streets or be used. I’m tired of cops bitching about my 2 stroke in the street. This incompetent govt won’t let me add lights and plate it, so I’m just gonna ride. They whine about Onewheels not being allowed on the bike lane or the street or the sidewalk. Like cmon.

Lower the tire pressure a little and that will help with leaning while wheeling
