Bro said they didnt sponsor the video,they only gave him a 2000$ battery😂

[@ironmantwilliam]

😂😂😂😂

[@seal802]

True but technically he would make even more if they did sponsor him

[@russellzauner]

When teams start forming for EV sports, Chi is probably going to be one of the more coveted component sponsorships short of being sponsored by factories like Sur Ron themselves. Can you imagine how hard the Sur Ron factory team's bikes are going to rip? They'll get all the prototype goods...

[@russellzauner]

I would also say he should try to not get sponsored by KO motors lol and get himself a controller upgrade. KO has beefed up controllers for the stock motor and they're only like 600 USD or less so they'd probably toss him one to piggyback off the Chi product placement viewer gains.

[@russellzauner]

if this is not sponsorship, don't sponsor me all day long lol

[@whatthe3711]

usually top speed dont change unless you switch out your controller since that controls the power output

[@str1kez367]

Pro tip: Replace your brake pads with some Shimano JO4C brake pads - They give you a lot more stopping power than the stock pads, and are worth a try before upgrading the brakes.

[@Red_AIert]

Bro get your brakes fixed. You never know what could pull out in front of you. Awesome video. Keep grinding. 💯

[@user-kb7ij6ye8u]

Hicks pioneering the brakeless Sur Ron revolution.

[@VoltedAdventures]

The battery you got does not add power or speed, you need a controller for that.

[@VoltedAdventures]

💯

[@BikeLuca]

Finally someone that knows something

[@russellzauner]

Chi battery is the single most impacting and honestly simplest upgrade you can make. Their product is basically the beast of batteries. Accept no substitutes.

[@pizzabones7217]

A mod many surron owners forget about other than the power controller, is the power booster for the battery, it plugs into your battery cord and adds some extra power for like $250

[@SiiiiGuey]

Which battery exactly did you get since you don’t mention that?.. Does 60 (M) stand for the 60 max? Which is 2500 not 2000....

[@StevenAvery4Life]

You been talking about them brakes for a while. 🤣 open up your toolbox

[@nxdboi]

Keep the stock battery and do a bypass on it. If you get an aftermarket controller, you can get 7.5kw out of the bypassed stock battery. That seems to be more your style. Same weight, more power.

[@chartchaser]

That would decrease the range

[@nxdboi]

@@chartchaser Why do people keep saying this? No it won't. If you ride it the same way you would actually get MORE range because most aftermarket controllers are more efficient than the stock controller.

[@danimayb]

@@nxdboi 100% true! And that's usually all across the e-bike spectrum. Stock controllers are almost always not the best they can be even on very expensive vehicles, Aftermarket is the way to go.

[@BigMoneySniper]

I agree.. I think range will be decreased. Reason being now that you get more power because of the higher continuous amp-age... your using more amps to achieve that power.... Battery are limited to a certain amount of amp hours. I don't see how one can get more range by using more amps. Maybe if you turn of the break regen and let the surron coast once higher speed is reached? I just don't see it.

[@nxdboi]

@@BigMoneySniper It'd give you more range _if you ride it the same way_. The Sur Ron controller is less efficient than most aftermarket controllers by about 3%. So, all settings/riding equal to stock, you can get 3% further with an aftermarket controller.

[@Felts_cro]

Need a new controller to make the most out of that battery💯 once you’ve ridden a 72v you won’t ever go back on a standard one😈

[@ishadow6044]

It’s easy to watch these videos

[@tacticooldennis]

I would also like a free battery.

[@expozure_in_the_elements]

What's up with the brake lines and cable going across the front of your headlight😅, you need to fix that bro it looks horrible

[@DannyF-cj4gh]

Don’t get me wrong I really enjoy watching your videos but if a company sends you a $2000 battery. The least you could do is charge it and put the risers on the cover. Felt like you disrespected this company.

[@user-kb7ij6ye8u]

planning is not hicks strong point lmao

[@jay.mcclou1056]

He’s a bmx rider he dont know what he doing

[@thatoneguy9482]

Man fuck that company

[@palmhall]

Right! Don’t forget no brakes, and low tire pressure lol 🤦🏻‍♂️

[@sundayromance7253]

I'm.not a fan of the electric stuff miss the old days and BMX giveaways and stuff

[@russellzauner]

The top end speed is 100% controlled by the...uh...controller. So idk what's the next step up from clipping the green wire but that seems logical. If there was a high performance firmware option we could flash to the stock controller but maybe it can't handle any more juice on the top and will burn up - controller upgrade seems to be a definite necessity if you want to ride hard without cooking everything at some point.

[@ironmantwilliam]

Riding through the carpark whilst riding mention gotta watch out for these Hollywood drivers around here after cutting that car off 😂😂😂

[@jeffo9599]

Yo! That stoppie was fresh bro! 🤘

[@BosleyBeats]

Bro you did an indo on that e-bike! Hah! Such a boss I swear

[@JohnDuthie]

IDK about that battery but Surron's look like so much fun. I wonder if Police ever try messing with people riding bikes like this.

[@koilamaoh4238]

I don't trust any sort of chargeable batteries, as they can explode, if theres any "dent" or puncture on them internally or quality check bad... Been tempted to buy a electric bike tho, only afraid of the batteries lol. Police can't do nothing about electric. Only real problem is once they regulate, which will suck sooo much which I hope not. Or they start adding "taxes", insurance. There are good odds that they might get confused thinking its a gas bike or dirt bike, I think those are illegal in a way, depending on state laws.

[@nonyabizz3533]

Me2 man. Afraid of those batteries

[@expozure_in_the_elements]

And if your bleeding your own hydraulic disc brakes, and they still are not dialed in, bring it to a qualified certified, before you get killed on those streets in LA, and be wiped up with a sponge

[@dmd8552]

Fix your breaks.

[@metalofthedeath]

You misspelled brakes.

[@yvonnezarzuela5290]

2016 air max those shoes are super comfy

[@jannaben_mtb]

Can we see some more MTB vids please, thanks John

[@benwinston1203]

Hope you’re having a good day

[@Gamer_4Life.]

U 2 ma boi.😊👍

[@choomanfoo]

This is what those dudes in Cardiff, Wales were zooming about on.

[@malditomalo619]

why would wight matter? you don't do jumps on your bike. Nice upgrade though.

[@baoff666z]

would love these companies who send people products who already have the wealth to buy them send the products to people who cant afford them and actually give an honest review

[@cheeko_914]

Wtf are you talking about lmao, why would they send something to a nobody with no subscribers? They'd make no money by doing that.

[@ExploringTheUnknown1]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jimjr9143]

Think it might be time for the new Talaria Sting R

[@user-nd1ke6gl1n]

You should ride around some of the locations from the show Snowfall

[@hellavisionsmellavision]

Bro i watch ur vids all the time, do you still rock this battery?

[@benwinston1203]

If you add the risers, a seat raiser and an aftermarket controller that would make this bike absurd

[@benwinston1203]

Ofc new brakes lol

[@richtheory.]

He won't even fix the brakes so I wouldn't hold your breath!

[@phantomroadster]

I'm old school and don't mind commercials, but it's hard watching this with an ad every minute.

[@jeremiefitzpatrick9722]

Glad you replaced it:) i didnt get to watch the whole video yet, busy. But will later:) stay safe out there bro:)

[@doni2209]

why dont u just fix those breaks

[@bk6271]

Because he’s an idiot and doesn’t know how

[@kacsa]

Thought I recognised you, I used to watch the BMX videos years back! =D

[@tmoore7049]

Cool intro HIXS!

[@jeremiefitzpatrick9722]

Watched the whole thing.. damn dude that battery is like adding nos!! Hahahaa😊❤ great video!

[@liamm6557]

How come you never ride the RAWWR bike anymore? only done one video on that and then swapped back???

[@JohnHicksFilm]

More with the Mantis soon!

[@tylerburden5144]

I really wanted one but saw the cost, just gonna go for a motorbike instead 😅

[@xboxice2005]

If the pins are the same on the new battery as the stock you can use stock charger.

[@ShenryRNBSN]

Great battery. I'm thinking of running an EBMX 72v 57ah battery x their x9000 controller power upgrade kit. Might eventually run the f spec ko motor and Cnc swing arm.

[@xboxice2005]

I have the EBMX 65ah 60v great battery and not much voltage sag too.

[@FlyingNimbuscloud]

Use a sotion motor or ebmx one

[@expozure_in_the_elements]

And it seems like your bike is not getting the proper amount of torque and speed because you probably haven't adjusted the tension on the belt since you first got it, eventually the belt will shrink because of friction ,so then it eventually becomes over torqued and a belt that's too tight will actually hold the power back, you have to be able to wedge at least a thumb, a half inch of flex on the belt, the only way to achieve this is to loosen the motor mount bolts and slowly adjust the belt tension, until you have the desire tension, also you don't want to leave that belt dry, it causes the belt to squeal against the pulley, a dialed-in belt is going to have a little bit of polylube, so this way the belt doesn't crack and snap. A finely-tuned belt will increase the overall performance of the bike, mine screams at about 55 mph , without any upgrade from chi battery systems

[@brianmcfarland8377]

I want to see your bike collection from the connections you got. It’s probably like jay lenos garage

[@keithfoidel2333]

What battery size is this Chi battery you are using?

[@expozure_in_the_elements]

And of course that bike is going to be faster with and upgraded higher voltage battery, higher wattage and voltage more power, but the chi battery systems don't tell you that they will wear the motor down faster decreasing life expectancy, there's two battery models that you can choose from with a stock Surron , Panasonic, and Samsung, the Samsung is $150 battery upgrade compared to the Panasonic factory stock battery, but I think it goes from 32 amps to 37 amps if I'm not mistaken, as far as an after-market upgraded battery, Surron doesn't recommended for engine longevity.

[@TheLarkinStensrude]

This upgraded battery is same voltage as stock ie:60v. It has too be as the stock controller only runs on a 60v battery. The reason he is feeling more acceleration is because the new battery has less of voltage sag and more capacity so when you get on the Full Throttle instead of sagging 5 V is only sagging 2V so he get more power versus stock battery

[@sundayromance7253]

It's LA did he really just leave the other battery outside of his vehicle in the ground and take off on his bike?

[@ItisMeMike]

I think they give you an extra maybe 10 miles i read

[@davecook81]

Brother....fix....your....brakes....

[@TrustedSilver1987]

No gloves dude.....that's a no no. I guess I might get one of these batteries.

[@2smoker64]

2500 plus 115 for the charger. 😮

[@Frankii3oOo]

some fox shocks next bro

[@christiancooper478]

So what's the milage on it? Can't beat 100 miles on a single charge can it?

[@Glen799]

my 53 ah battery fits in the case of the bike

[@editz_8086]

u should buy an electric scooter and reveiw it

[@ctaylor1451]

What brakes are you running on the Surron?

[@dennisc7232]

ur telling me the new battery is more than 40% of the cost of the sur ron

[@peteradams8618]

BroBro

[@jaysonespinosa7389]

Im trying to buy one and now they told me i have to register it because they have serial numbers is that TRUE

[@jordannns2511]

How what's the range on that bike in total is it more then 60

[@tomasbasualdo3654]

What happened with the mantis?

[@JoeNoBuddy]

Man, John I've seen batteries explode by not turning the breaker off then plugging them in, careful my guy seriously!

[@snuffeluffigis]

How much you weigh man ? I'm probably pushing the max at 220 myself

[@teddy_123.]

Nice

[@chrisc6162]

My guy you have to let us know what battery it is….

[@ItisMeMike]

Chi batteries he got the 60

[@jonjon9270]

Is there anything that compares to a suron but cheaper?

[@krazykid2002k]

I want a sir Ron so bad!!! But can’t afford one

[@AidenMcMahon-id1kb]

You forgot to shut the charging port on the battery

[@1sir-onworld]

💯👍

[@Dumah.-]

please send that battery to me if you don't need it.

[@Bazze03]

"anyone who live here know how bad the drivers are", drives 30 mph in a parking garage, swervs between cars and doesnt stop for any stop signs, double standard lol

[@ReaperRamsy]

Damn bro I wish chi would send me a battery 😢

[@SwarmMcReynolds]

[@alexdesignz09]
