Excellent review. Thank you so much for putting this out brother.

[@SanchezzzKid]

That trail is absolutely beautiful, reminds me of the scenery from the movie 'The place Beyond the Pines'. That movie made me fall in love with dirt bikes. Great video, thanks for uploading 🤙

[@H2guggi]

You seem so damn chill! Love it. Thanks for clarifying some issues with it. But I'm definitely getting it this coming spring 🤙🏻

[@phillyguerrilla]

If you're somewhere the laws are gray, it's an electric mountain bike. Cops will generally leave you alone a long as you're not being a douche or riding dangerously. Most times they don't feel like being bothered with stupid infractions that they don't even know the codes for. Just stay away from ATV riders in the streets illegally. They'll get you sucked into their drama with the cops.

Riding like that on trails and keeping a low profile is an awesome idea! I was looking at these here in VA and it does not fall under the e-bike law because it does not have pedals. The best I can tell it could fall under an e-scooter OR a moped. The good part about a moped is that if it has two wheels, a motor smaller that 1500 watts, and you keep it 35 and under it is exempt from registration. Cars will not know that you are not a regular biker. However, you best set the speed limit to 35mph because if it goes faster it is considered a motorcycle. That means if you get stopped you can get thrashed with unregistered motor vehicle, uninspected motor vehicle, no motorcycle license, no insurance, and like ten other undesirable things. Most likely they will tell you to slow down but I dont like to bank on that. At least towing probably isnt an issue you would just have to push it home...

[@JadeAllenCook]

I've been riding it around downtown San Jose for the last few months and haven't had any issues, keeping my fingers crossed!

Nice review. I saw the pedal kits, that could help the legality part

[@JadeAllenCook]

Good call!

[@hakualex]

There is a video of someone on KZbin that was able to register the b ike with the DMV and put a license plate on it using the number that's on the bike. But I guess it varies by state. Another option you have if you mostly plan to drive it on the street put a pedal kit on it. There this Colombian company called Kaniwaba that has the best fully functional pedal kits for this bike in my opinion.

[@photomorti]

Great review

[@JadeAllenCook]

Thanks!

[@surronstuntz3146]

Great video, DO NOT RELY ON LUNA AT ALL. I've had my sur ron for a while and you have to do your own research and find parts and and you tube is your best friend.

[@dagarnertn]

Most of the problems you’ve described are common to dirt bikes. In some states, maybe most, it’s easy to make dirt bikes street legal by adding appropriate lights and mirrors. Very easy in my state. Probably not in California.

[@deez5683]

If you want to ride it on bike tracks, you should get the pedal kit so that it’s technically an electric bike

[@Ryan-lo8xf]

I'm looking to do the same. Spoke with local police and in my area, a pedal kit and roads listed as 30mph and under should be all clear for me. Also going about 10mph on rail trails seems okay too. Very vague guidelines but looking to make this purchase actually worth it, otherwise I would have just looked into a motorcycle 😂

[@davidwatchesyoutube247]

Considering this bike… good video to consider

[@JadeAllenCook]

Thanks David!

[@mds6387]

Taking the rear wheel off isn't too bad. Start by turning the wheel till you can see the chain master link, and have easy access to it. Remove brake caliper. Adjust chain to give a little slack/little droop. Remove the clip on the chain master link, remove the master link, and unwrap the chain from the wheel cog only. Loosen rear wheel axle. Take off wheel. I took the wheel axle completely out, and removed both the cog and brake rotor so I could mount the wheel on a harbor freight bike tire changer. The install is reverse, but make sure to adjust the chain evenly on both sides so the chain isn't cocked and binding. There's adjustment markers carved into the frame to ensure even adjustment on both sides. Hope this helps.

[@JadeAllenCook]

Thanks for the insight, I'll keep that in mind! I'm about to change the tires in the next couple days.

[@Poise716]

You don’t have to disassemble the chain to take the tire off.

[@dave7577]

The Sur-ron limited to 30mph in UK costs £55 to register needs a number plate registration number displayed has to be insured you have to wear a helmet and it has to be MOTd every year after three years. It's treated as a limited speed moped.

[@JadeAllenCook]

That's awesome, we don't have that type of process here in California but I've been riding it everywhere lately and I haven't had any problems!

[@videoogler]

You're a smart guy. Don't sell yourself short. When it comes to repairing things look it up on youtube. You can find instructional videos on virtually anything, especially changing a tire, and there are plenty of tire and tube options for these bikes. Lots of videos about these bikes and aftermarket parts. You should be using Shimano brake pads for this anyway. Take the time to watch more videos on youtube. Then invest in some simple inexpensive tools. If you just take the time to educate yourself you can do most anything. It's not rocket science.

[@You-Toober]

Yeah, you have a good point and you have a good mindset. But, LoL, it's enough for me to just wash the bike....

[@INUAGAIN]

Hey dude, didn't ya put that front fender on backward? Longest part usually goes toward the back. It makes sense but I could be wrong...

[@JadeAllenCook]

[@Macky4941]

Our town allows offroad vehicles and golfcarts except on certain main streets. Cars have the right away. Has to be insured though and can't be doing dangerous stuff like stunts or going too fast.

[@pattrass7692]

You can get a pedal kit for this and then it’s pretty much legal everywhere you can ride any e-bike

[@ulukini9183]
