The Sur-Ron has landed

[juddspaintballs]

My daughter fits on it just fine and my wife even rode it a good bit today. It is the "wife's" bike. The first time she's ridden any sort of motorized bike, actually. She did about 5 miles on the farm today with it and even got it up to 30 mph. I did a couple laps myself. In stock form, it'll pull a wheelie in sport mode with me on it. I'll learn how to set the suspension and get a front fender for it. I like it a lot. My wife seems to like it, too.

Cool!

Fantastic! I can get you a sheet of rubber for a rear shock splash guard if you like.

I'm running this for a front fender:

That would be great. I'll order that front fender, too. I didn't even put the stock front fender on yet.

Nice Jed. You guys are making it harder to resist getting one of those things. DAMN it

stock, they are pretty cool. Once the wife gets used to the stock power, If you start to feel the need for more torque, go up to a 64-68 tooth rear. Makes a huge difference! Talk about wheelies!

OK, I cut a strip of rubber off the roll. I made mine 5.5" wide but there is plenty of extra there to do whatever you want and its long enough to make a spare. I'll be al Phil's on Sat if you make it - remind me to give it to you.

I need to order a front fender for the kiddo's bike. The factory one was busted off when we got it. I was going to get another factory one when whey came back in stock, but now that I'm thinking about it, should prob just order another mudhugger long. I'd be able to swap that onto the spare dual crown fork when I upgrade him to that.

A larger rear sprocket also marginally increases your range if you don't need the top speed. For the same hp output, it allows the motor to spin faster w/ less torque (= less current = higher efficiency generally.) Can get up a much steeper hill too.

Welcome to the club! I can be on mine 20-30 minutes every day because of its stealth. Often a couple of times a day on an obstacle course on a lot across the street from me.

I think there is an unsanctioned club meeting tomorrow, poor bucho
