I ordered the 80 hp because, why not? It sounds fun. I'll never ride on that setting except to try it out once in a while where I have a nice flat spot and plenty of room. Meanwhile, when the day comes to sell it, I think it will make it a little easier to sell. Maybe the next guy wants a hill...

Awesome Bryan! Thanks for filling us in. Sounds like the SV is a significant performance upgrade from the MXR in every way, which is exactly what I was hoping it would be. I can't wait for these to be in customer hands so we can continue to get real world feedback.

The new Sur Ron Ultra Bee is supposed to be 187 lbs. Will be interesting to see what its like on the single track, could be 125 2 stroke fun. Maybe. Hopefully, Lol.

How do you get to 173 lbs for the EXR?

Thanks, I think I may order up a set of these and see how they do. Edit: just put in my order for the 21/18" wheelset from ECR, ordered HD tubes and the IRC IX09w Gekkota's. I like that they are light and gummy. They get mixed reviews, some complaining knobs getting ripped off, short life, but...

Wow. That sounds amazing. I hope this technology pans out and is affordable enough to make its way into car, motorcycles, etc.

Another great video by Tucker, he is LOVING the new 21/18" wheels and tires. He just killed my plan to NOT buy a 21/18" wheel set and just upgrade the 19" tires and be happy with it. I knew this was going to happen, Lol. Pretty decent price too, I think I may be ordering these wheels. Bigger...

Sur Ron's corporate website, I had never seen this before: 杭州虬龙科技有限公司 Looks like there's a phone app for the Ultra Bee. Not sure if the phone app will install on phones on the US, nor if its in English: 杭州虬龙科技有限公司 That page also shows owners manuals for their other bikes, likely the Ultra Bee...

Tucker just posted a great video comparing the three Sur Ron bikes.

You sure it got pushed out recently? They pushed out the orders sometime around October 2022, and before that around August 2022. My latest delivery date of November 30, 2023 (to the PacNW) has been the same since around Oct. 2022. From my notes: Order date December 17, 2021, original...

We really need a betting pool along the lines of the NCAA's, Lol. My money is on customer #1 here getting his bike in March, followed by dealers and other customer bikes the rest of 2023. And mine is delivered earlier then my current expected delivery date of Nov. 2023. Meanwhile I'm an...

That is the worst written, least enthusiastic announcement of production starting on what could arguably be one of the most anticipated dirt bikes ever. At least I think it says production is starting next week. Hard to tell exactly. You would think they would have wanted to really nail such an...

My gold wedding band disappeared into the ether last year when I was changing the rear tire/tube on my Husky. Didn't realize it until I had completed the task and was washing up in the kitchen sink. I thought for sure it was in the scary garbage disposal grinder finger eater thing in the sink...

I am with you on that kangaroo thing, Lol.

Tucker did a range test on the prototype Ultra Bee, very interesting, about in line with my MXR. He runs the battery down to about 10% SOC where the power is cut significantly. Summary: ~19 miles mx track. ~26 miles single track. ~46 miles milking it on flat gravel road.

I have never felt that the lack of reciprocating mass is a negative on my Alta MXR, quite the contrary. For reference, I'm an older, casual trail rider, mainly single track, some of it pretty gnarly. Have owned and ridden a bunch of very nicely setup dirt bikes over the years, everything from...

I think its going to be a confusing mess of contradictory regulations put in place at the local, national (USA), and international level, until the battery/controller/weight technology improves to the point where it makes no sense to be riding anything but an e-dirt bike if you want to be...

Summary: he really likes it. Wants to try some suspension and wheel/tire tweaks. I can't wait to get mine and see what its all about on the trails.

I've been wringing my hands for over a year now trying to decide if I should buy a Light Bee and mod it up ($$$). Held out mainly due to my height, at 6'5" just didn't think it would work too well. Then the Talaria Sting came out, and same thing, major hand wringing. Just when I was about to...

I think you will find the Ultra Bee not suitable for your type of riding. I consider it a play bike more then a full on dirt bike. I think the Stark Varg would suit you better. As B. Frank mentioned, I think you will find the Ultra Bee not as capable as your Honda or really any typical full on...
