    btw this is a mid-drive motor, so it goes through your bike's gears i.e. could climb efficiently, but more complex mechanically. if you just want to run errands around town the more common hub motors are locally available
    pedelec ba to sir? meaning may pedal assist or may throttle for cruise without pedalling? pano ang power source?

    Reminds me of gogo ebikes. More pedestrian lang...di pa rin pwede sa major roads ata ito. Maganda sana for short errands.

    i still remember the velosolex. black. tiny gas engine, but it got the job done.
    it would probably be a hit today.

    there are lots of full-size electric dirt bikes. check out the Alta Redshift MX. just like electric cars they weight a lot more than their gasoline counterparts they cost a lot too

    i want something i could easily lift over obstacles and such. so the sur-ron fits the bill. it actually uses some mountain bike components. and it's cheap too. got to hand it to china for producing an excellent product at a reasonable price

    This KTM E-SX is around P450,000 (shipping not included). The KTM 250R freeride gasoline equivalent is P400,000. The Redshift MX is at P550,000. (All converted from USD).

    But, it's not as if we're not used to the exorbitant prices of mountain bikes. Lmao!

    I would love to buy one, but availability is something we have to dream about. I hate shipping it from abroad and besides, you are on your own here if something goes wrong. No support, nothing. It will suck big time.

    But, if there are authorized dealers here, I prefer the concept of renting the battery. It should help keep the price down. I could rent 2 battery packs, one for back up so I won't have to wait for it to fully charge.

    I don't like the gasoline types because I hate the clutch and sequential shifting. I prefer simplicity of operation. It's just throttle and brakes for the electric. Nothing can get simpler than that.

    Look Ma! No clutch. lol

    I hope for future electric bikes, they would also incorporate self balancing bikes.



    Also, tip over proof with the help of gyroscope when the bike gets involved in a collision. Skip at 0:50.

    check out what i'm building. i'll upgrade to rockshox if needed. and maybe a quad piston. that's a 203mm rotor

    i could import the Sur-Ron and become the distributor here in PH. i'm already very familiar w/ battery packs and such

    the question is, would it sell here?

    Woah! That's so cool dude!! That requires mad skills building your own e-bike.

    Not familiar with Sur-Ron, but, I checked the video and it looks pretty fast!



    It's only USD3,475 or P185,000 converted. It's more or less the same price as the Specialized Enduro Comp. The price sure is very enticing.

    https://lunacycle.com/sur-ron-mx-electric/

    It looks sick! You posted an earlier video of the Sur-Ron, but, I thought this was just another stealth bomber knock off. lol



    But, not sure whether it can handle high flying jumps and abuses though. lol

    I'll just have to check it out then.

    The abuses:

    LOL



    It can do endos, wheelies, stairs, jumps, bunny hops, drifts and a 360 burnout.

    Not bad at all. Now, we're talking. I'm stoked!

    The quality built:



    It's a carefully and well thought out design. Although, this is made in China, thus, the general perception of questionable quality, it seems that the guys from China hired European engineers and designers. I can smell Euro design, quality and safety standard all over the bike. lol

    Since, this bike is just new, I really hate to be an early adopter. I'll wait it out and give it time for it to mature in the market.

    Overall, a cool bike that I'll buy in a heartbeat.

    you're underestimating the "enemy" if i could design, build and weld everything by myself from scratch in my garage then definitely a team of chinese engineers w/ millions in funding could do a nicer job

    though i have to say my build came out even lighter than the surron, despite carrying more cells
