Sur-ron Storm Electric Enduro Bike Steve Ireland Enduro reviews The Surron Electric Enduro Bike

[@bougie2k]

the electric motorbike will succeed because no noise ...no noise no complaint from Neighbors

[@imds123]

We want Alta back! But this is a step in the right direction.

[@Subaruktm]

Go blame Harley

[@richardsmith3350]

Good review that Steve.. We kind of shot ourselves in the foot with petrol bikes making them louder and louder.

[@visionlightlab6094]

Light bee looks great, got one, wish the Storm looked as good as an Alta Motors redshift. Being able to enjoy the looks of a bike sitting still in the garage means a lot to me

[@visionlightlab6094]

@@fastemx It's not terrible, sort of like a Zero FX w/ battery sideways across motor. I just wish they would have grown it on the design of the Light Bee more. As for any kind of credential as to my style considerations, I am a electromechanical artist; www.visionlightlab.com

[@russbowerschannel449]

Absolutely spot on. The stealth aspects of these bikes is transformative.

[@ste_t]

I think they are at least 5 if not 10 years away from becoming a potential replacement for a modern 2/4 stroke enduro bike. When someone can complete Erzberg or Romaniacs (single day) without a battery change then I would definitely look into it. The other issue I have is the lack of clutch. I hope the electric bike manufacturers implement a clutch to give you the extra control needed for the more technical terrain.

[@tiptoucher3694]

I will never compete or attend the Erzberg. The bike as sits will suit my needs. I'm so glad it doesn't have a clutch.

[@revjimjones]

A clutch is pointless, you have zero gears and can tune the bike to give you more torque if necessary for trail riding.

[@ste_t]

@@revjimjones depends what you're use to. I'm sure it's something you can become familiar with but a clutch is used for more than changing gears especially in technical terrain. The new electric motion trials bikes have a clutch so I'm sure they will appear on electric enduro bikes.

[@revjimjones]

That's interesting, it must be part muscle memory for trials and enduro, part complication in making throttle response good for normal riding and snap when you need it

[@low-costgearbudgettour714]

I decided to embrace EV's finally. I picked my used Storm Bee up yesterday in Mongolia (China's next door neighbour). I concur with everything you said although I've only just started riding it. It's just my first impression and I think I'm in love. I also ride around my mountain neighborhood, I don't want to disturb the peace, I don't want to do mechanical work either. Just charge and go. Mega! I don't think it'll be the hit the Light Bee has been due to cost. I tried the Light Bee and it was just too small for me (I'm 6'2") so a non-starter. The price I paid was £6.3k inclusive. No tax, no insurance, no registration because it's Mongolia.

[@crosstrainingenduro]

Good to see them coming along, thanks for the vid and your thoughts. Still a bit heavy compared to say a two stroke even when fuelled up.... 118kg for the offroad version and 127kg for the registrable version I think? We probably aren't far off these being lighter and at least as powerful as the existing dirt bikes. I know everyone has different opinions on this, but I'd prefer to buy a non-Chinese made electric bike when they get to that point. 👍

[@seamarsh3756]

No rotating weight makes big difference.. feels much light. I rode the Alta in USA when it was still being made.. it was amazing

[@MTO_Brothers]

@@seamarsh3756 Yeah, but still twice my weight. I'm better off with the Light Bee 😀

I love that this is finally here. They will get lighter as battery technology improves. It’s possible to add a motor to the front wheel. That would be a interesting combination.

I love the sound and look of the Storm Bee. This year is going to be interesting, with the upcoming Talaria Dragon.

[@584TREE]

GREAT VIDEO ! I HAD THE SURRON FIRE FLY LOVED IT BUT SOLD IT . I WANT THE STORM AS LONG AS I CAN USE IT ON THE ROAD AND GET INSURANCE IN THE US !

[@joshuatelem8796]

More Surron videos please

[@ow-my-achilles1106]

The only large obstacle to mass adoption is the one thing not solved yet. RANGE...Give my 80 miles of trail range, and FAST battery swaps, take my money $$$$. Otherwise I'll just stick with the Sur Ron X, modded, and it gets the job done for woodsy trail fun. Plus I have a street plated 2 stroke 300 for the events that require it. One electric bike will never do it all. Each electric bike will either occupy a unique niche, or be competing with other similar electrics. They don't truly stack up against gas bikes yet, apples to apples.

[@SnowbirdSteeze]

When does this get released?

[@Emtbwebb]

I think by now the sur ron should upgrade there stock battery on the light bee and make it cheap because they are very popular i love my stock just would love a little more power without changing too much!! Got to say the storm looks great pal

[@DeanF]

Doc, my name is Dean and I love my Light Bees and cannot wait to get my paws on one of these... I have ridden all sorts of bikes, but this Sur Ron... nothing tops it.

[@galaxiegalaxie5003]

it is also insane on the price level as well hehe😁, to take asian market i beleive the price must be between 3000 to 4500(may be not only made for dirt bike professional,may be for regular dirt bike lover) US dollar.Thanks for the great video.

[@enduroibizarules1803]

Nice video , good edition !!!! 👌🏻👌🏻

[@Freewheelie199]

Does it have pro link ? Or is it like the ktm freeride

[@thisguyfromyoutubesaid1537]

My questions would be about the weight and the horsepower and the price boss man

[@iraomar1]

It has a reverse feature! Come on you know it sucks to get off and push. Coming from the light bee I love the looks of this bike.

[@so-b-itcustoms908]

I think id need a lot more than 3 hours from a battery to be convinced, but you presented this bike well. Noice

[@timwatterson8060]

Did he mention quick swap? because it does

[@OneTwoFive0]

How many KW is the bike? Is it A1 license compliment?

[@kyleshepherd9602]

It says 22.5 but am trying to find that out my self cause I cant find the maximum limit before you need a full license

[@DeltaCmndrElite]

@@kyleshepherd9602 its 10kw continuous 22.5kw(30Bhp) max so can be ridden on cbt but to be honest at this price point i think i would stump up the extra 2k for the zero fx/fxs with the 11kw/34kw(46Bhp) max still cbt legal

[@brettknibbs9351]

good video mate. ABSOLUTELY NOT the future though... When the battery's will do a 6hr day then they will be popular... until then not a chance. 2 hours is not even close to enough especially with a 3hr charge. and the problem here is we need about 10 more years battery improvement before we get anywhere near and for the record silent is not a good thing... when someone gets killed by a silent bike they will find a problem with that trust me

[@coffelt683]

Silence is fine if you don't ride like an idiot, the only time loud pipes help is if your lane splitting but that is illegal in most countries and most states in the US. And considering the fact that everything Sur ron makes is flying off the shelves, I don't think popularity is an issue. I rode a light bee and it was fantastic, I'm looking at getting one for my short commute in the future. I live near redwood forests and mountain bike trails so this is perfect, especially because the rangers call the cops on gas bikes instantly (I speak from experience lol).

[@JayVipGaming]

Do you need a motor bike licence? Or can you drive it on a cbt?

storm was traded to surron for the white ghost bike

[@Subaruktm]

Range?

[@slakr7555]

From what I’ve found, it’s similarly priced with the ktm freeride. Why not buy a proven brand?

[@deadmanrolling1407]

Because that makes to much sense for the human race

[@Johnny_Utah]

In my case, because the KTM Freeride isn't street legal in the USA (also I believe the KTM doesn't have a removable battery and I'd likely want to charge the battery up in my apartment) If I didn't need these 2 things I'd go KTM in a heartbeat

Less than 3 hours to charge is nice, but the range coupled with cost of extra batteries (if they even hot swap) makes this useless for us weekend warriors who trailer our bikes out and ride all day.

[@stevestewart6287]

Two hours riding time, then charge for 3 hours, no thanks. The only way to make that work is to have a 2nd battery, and a generator to charge it while you are riding. My question: How much would a 2nd battery cost.

[@0141star]

Electric is good no doubt about it but petrol is king even the zero bikes have crap milage when you ride them properly they are great for torque and simplicity but ride a zero/ amy e motorcycle like any petrol machine and you'll be stranded in the countryside in no time I love my Electric motorbike but they're only good for short trips/commuting not fun

@Steve Shaw You just can’t.. People will not really know better and they will get use to it. I mean you only know about 2 strokes because that is what has been presented to you and what you are use too the past 35 years. If you had a croch rocket that levitated and flew you around you would be like what is this dirt bike thing... Right.. VHS, DVD, etc.
