Really happy you took time out of your day to make this video. I definitely didn't think the chain was going to be that much of a improvement very surprised
@@fcalin21 If the Surron style of bikes find a home like Honda and Yamaha?...soon all will be outfitted with Gear Box. As it stands, the jack-shaft is the weak link in their puzzle.
What an iteresting video. I havnt seen one better. I was hoping the chain was quiet things down because that ultra Bee makes this clacking drive train sound vut must not be coming from that part of the drivetrain. Nice looking bike too. 😊
how is it with the chain when I only drive offroad? does the chain need to be lubricated or does it work all the time when dry? because there is no need to take care of the belt
Great video. Do you expect the chain to be more durable and last longer? Also, are the police cool seeing Bees on the road if going under 25mph and not drawing attention?
Thank you! They last about the same but the benefits favor the chain. The cops are so different everywhere that it depends on your area and the mood of the Cop but I wouldn't go on the street without a plate.
Definitely get the 21 front but I would stick with the 19 stock rear, you'll get five more miles range because all the 18 inch tires are so heavy, I run either Michelin Starcross five or Kenda Trackmaster 100 rear, 10 psi, tons of grip
@@slovarick1 Cool, and great channel/info, man! I'm about to switch to an 18/21 setup and was thinking about upgrading to a 54-tooth sprocket to maintain low-end torque. Some people say not much torque is lost with the stock 46-tooth sprocket and that it tones the bike down a bit, but it's still very rideable. If possible, I want to keep the bike in the 50 mph range for riding the firelines with the gassers. Single track is fine, but I'd like to maintain some of that speed for the aforementioned.
@@y2k1307 I would do 58 for more power and range, depends at what speed you usually ride at, but at least 54, not sure I wanna go 55 mph on a fire road, I've been over the bars enough times ha ha
I have 18/21 setup with 54 sprocket. My top speed is 49mph. Plenty of torque in daily mode. A little too much in sport. I think similar torque can be achieved with stock 46 in sport and throttle control at 2. I'm actually going to change back to the stock to try it out. Have a street setup with the stock rims, and it's pain switching out chains between the two setups. Also I would like to go faster in the trails. Can go up to 56-58 with stock sprocket.

You're very welcome… Only took five months to film, ride and edit, all for just a couple of views lol
@@slovarick1 Thank you for your effort.

@@shockadellick I think I prefer automatic over manual

Solid video mate, love ur edit style dont change it up its perfect. Earned yourself a new subscriber and supporter 👊👊
Thanks, I'm a bit of a goofball
Great job on the comparison! Makes me all the happier that I converted to the primary chain.
Thanks shred! Great minds… Ha ha
Just the video I was looking for. I am thinking about putting a chain drive on my Eride Pro SS. Thanks

I lube it every other ride, I have the x-ring chain, if you have non o ring then you have to lube it every ride
Great video. So it adds a little more torque from the size/ratio difference. I highly doubt the chain is less resistance than a belt
It is though
Chosen one!

Looks like the chain is the way to go! What is the cost?
Chain is $100, well worth the peace of mind
Where did you get your chain drive?
Charged cycle works or edirty bike, or Google it
What are your tire specs I’m also looking into a 21/19 setup

Ever run the 54 tooth sprocket? What was your top speed with it?
Yes top speed was 51 mph

Nice work on the video by the way. Wish I had the time to create quality content like this.
