    Very cool videos dude the surron looks like the best way to see LA you cover so much ground its really inspiring to see; On a side note, there is a universal key/tool that can access locked electrical and water valves commonly found on the outside of commercial, office, parks, schools, and retail buildings also on many lampposts in every city. They are commonly called silcock keys there are also a few cabinet key variants as well, they can all be kept neatly on a keychain and can be used to access locked power and water can reduce range anxiety quite a bit, just remember to be discrete.

I used to ride regular bikes a lot, but since getting the Sur Ron this year I hardly ever convince myself to actually ride a pedal bike anymore and I can feel a difference in my body because of it 😆, not that Sur Ron’s aren’t exercise necessarily, popping wheelies and riding stairs/tough terrain is definitely exercise.

They still look almost new, vs the oem rear tire basically worn out in three months. I kinda want to try the 241s, if I can remember correctly they had a softer compound than the 244s which is why I opted for the 244. One downside is these shinko tires weigh considerably more than the oem tires.

    Nice, sooner or later looking to pick up one of those Chi batts. Dont mean to sound like a noob/my current Sur Ron is stock so haven't ventured into the after market batt realm yet. So em is the unlocking part necessary? / is it just to be used with the 4000 bac? if your just sticking with the 60v version of the Chi and the x controller is it necessary?. I know it not a big deal, its commonly done , but i hear that "unlocking" the battery removes fire protections AND any kind of warantees so "whats the point" and does it have to be done?. Thanks for any info, -Cheers

    • @JuicedJoyrides
      @JuicedJoyrides  2 роки тому

      I think what you’re talking about is doing the bypass on the battery. If you buy a 60 V from chi, you will not need to bypass it in order to get full power. The only reason to bypass the stock 60 V battery is so you can get the BAC 4000 controller to pull 7000 W from the stock battery, whereas if you do not do the bypass the controller will only be able to pull 5000 W

    • @JuicedJoyrides
      @JuicedJoyrides  2 роки тому

      I debated many options. I want more speed too, from what I hear and my experience riding other 72v bikes, it seems like more voltage is the better route to go for more power. I almost got the larger 72v 51ah battery, but ultimately decided to get the 38ah so it will look less goofy, and because the ship time was listed as faster. Going from the stock 60v 32ah battery which is 1920 watt hours to the 72v 38ah is 2736 watt hours is a 42% increase in energy. So riding at the same speeds as the old battery I should see a huge increase in range. I hope I’m happy with my choice, but part of me wonders if I should have gone for the larger 72v.

    • @JuicedJoyrides
      @JuicedJoyrides  2 роки тому +1

      I find that the battery percentage drops off linearly, and as the percentage gets lower the power gets weaker and weaker. It goes kinda like this:
      100-85% thrilling, really powerful
      85-70% pretty darn fun still
      70-50% I wish it was more charged
      50-40% still holds good top speeds but the acceleration has reduced considerably
      40-20%% it's getting you from a to b with good speed but you know its time to go home
      20% and less I rarely ride, it can still pop a wheelie at 20% but its not much fun anymore

      I didn’t attempt top speed climbing the hill, I’d guess it would be able to do mid 40s, about 45mph, but it will drain the battery really quickly and also cause the motor to potentially overheat running too much power up a steep hill for a long time.

    These type of bike frames is the standard for e biking. Being a very expensive e bike in these ,the market is flooded with ecomical ones starting at 700$ range. Majority of these cheaper ones goes up to the 1000$ range depending on power of motor and so on. Most used the standard 1 piece frame of jus front shocks. E bike speed differs from jus foot power as I found out with 1 piece frame with jus 1 shocks in the front wheel, the comfort when going 20mph is still a bit rough. I bought a Conversion Kit and used sam we typ we of frame as the ones in to his video of 2 piece frame Dual Shocks being a hardtail type. It goes 40mph and way smoother of handling the road much like the suspension from Mercedes-Benz Cars. Knowing the difference ,every future buy or CKit I get, it will always be the 2 piece Dual shock frames I will only use.
