They ship with a 30mph speed limiter, but i got into the wiring harness... mine does 50 now.

I've owned and still own several bikes... '78 KE100, '01 CR125, '80 XR250, '73 F7, '06 KX250F, '75 CL360, '01 300 EXC, '42 WLA, '20 XG750A

But this dumb little electric bike has been more fun than any of them.


What do you use to lock it up? Love the sur ron bikes! Also love 2 strokes but not waking the entire town up just to go for a ride - love how you can just jump on these and go, in silence!


So far, I don't lock it up. When I go get groceries I bring a backpack and hurry my butt to the register as quickly as possible. I recently purchased a cable loop and padlock though and plan to use 'em.

Also, all Sur Rons (and rebranded Segway versions) do come from China, which makes me guilty of being a hypocrite for as much as I tout buying American. The build quality of this bike has exceeded my expectations. There is a youtube channel where a guy races harescrambles on a Sur Ron against full size dirtbikes, I believe he has over 2000 miles on his.
