Keep it civil, guys. Be respectful. No taunting. No name-calling. I do not want to start locking threads and suspending anyone. Stay on-topic. Nobody wants to read your personal back-and-forth.

I am going to have to sanitize this thread a little; my sincere apologies. This is very unfortunate because the worst posts made me laugh the most. Thanks for that! In the meantime, boys, go ahead and wash your mouths with some contact cleaner. This was the first flame war we had had in almost 7...

Any shipping would cost you at least 10-15€, right? Try a local hardware store to save on shipping. Or order an Organic Cotton Hoodie from Stark for just $99 and get your 2 bolts shipped for free. Use Loctite on those bolts so you don't lose them.

Can-Am would have made way more money had they just kept producing Altas.

The weight breakdown info is in the 1st post. Lots of carefully thought-out details there. Little by little, our batteries are becoming more energy-dense.

I double-checked the numbers. Bike 2 with an 8.0 kWh battery is indeed similar in weight to Bike 1 with a 10.0 kWh fixed battery. If you extrapolate the size of the swappable battery to 10.0 kWh, its weight would become 90 lbs (41 kg). The total weight of the bike would then become 266 lbs (121...

The main point of this poll is to find out if folks who shop for full-size electric dirt bikes would consider a 253 lbs (115 kg) bike light enough and the range associated with a 10.0 kWh battery long enough. A big fixed battery vs. a small swappable battery. Folks who haven't yet bought a...

Hi Electric Dirt Riders! Hypothetically speaking, a dirt bike manufacturer wants to make a premium full-size electric motocross/enduro bike with cutting-edge tech and top-level components. Which one would you reserve with a deposit? Vote for your next dream dirt bike! Share your choice in the...

You are in a dedicated Sur-Ron section now. Feel free to create new threads.

Yeah, 400V controllers are rare. That is correct, you are now in the Tesla voltage territory. Without the factory VCU it is a DIY project. @DonCox

I wasn't tracking the battery. I was switching back and forth. Honestly, I had a pretty crappy day last Thursday. I was not well-rested and had no flow. I would have to repeat this exercise again to truly understand if I could even get used to a zero regen. So far, I only understood the...

This thing is a blast! I have two left feet, I never surfed, never skateboarded, and I tried snowboarding only once, but even then, it took me just an hour to stand up on this thing and then another hour to learn to hover over the water. I highly recommend! It is similar to riding a...

Done.

Yesterday, I tried reducing my regen from the usual 40% down to 20% and down to 0%. Pros: - The front end ride quality improved a lot! - The flow through some turns improved. Cons: - In many turns, the front end traction and my confidence reduced. - I had to drag the LHRB to compensate...

Alright, for a flat but choppy track, you're dealing with a lot of small, sharp hits that can unsettle the bike. Since you're happy with your baseline setup, we'll tweak the rear shock to handle that chop. You'd likely want to soften the low-speed compression a bit-maybe a click or two out-to...
