      That's what ruins it for people,
      But near me the local council closed an MX track because of noise and air pollution, but the nearest house to that track was 6-8 miles away,
      But before closing it they would allow it to be open 1 Sunday a month and then just closed it down.
      Give people free places to ride them etc and it will help combat the anti social part

    It’s crazy here in the UK! So many laws and rules! As soon as anyone starts having fun.. it’s like NO! Sorry that’s not happening! It makes me so angry 😡 I’m trying to make a UA-cam channel on electric scooters and possibly EUC’s and maybe even a Sur Ron but the laws and the consequences are diabolical!

    I commute to work every day on my mountain bike and use the signposted cycle paths, without exception dog walkers are an absolute daily liability even though I am as entitled to be on the cycle paths.
    I ride politely indicating my presence via a small bell, slowing down not to startle anyone. I have however lost count of the amount of uncontrollable dogs and self entitled dog walkers that seem to believe that the path is only for them. Unfortunately this is daily life in the UK.

One I came across in a pedestrian area dodged me on my legal ebike going at 30+ mph and slammed right into a tree breaking his wrist and leg. Endangered himself and others just to go for ride on a Sunday morning. His mate came along whilst he was waiting for the ambulance to stow his bike away, dropping it whilst doing so. Yes, because that’s the most important thing whilst the rider is lain stricken on the ground.

    I'm.old enough to remember the hostility towards mountain bikes in the early days.
    That looks an absolute hoot to ride, but I have a couple of questions.
    Are you riding on 'green lanes'? A bike like this would be an amazing way to go green laning whilst keeping disturbance and noise down.
    However...if you're riding bridleways/footpaths, I can see that causing bother. Common sense says we should all be able to get along...but not everyone has common sense. It will only take 1 serious injury and people will use it as an excuse to restrict access even more.

    Neg stuff for deletion:
    Being constructive, it's easy to see that you aren't taxed and insured, with no mirrors, indicators or plate, all legally required for on road use.
    Again, being constructive, I don't think the man was 'angry', maybe judgemental and definately 'informative'.
    Lastly, I sincerely hope you are aware that without insurance, you will be personally held financially responsible for any damage that you personally cause. Not that you are the sort to do this deliberately, you are clearly a decent chap but, accidents happen. I'd hate to be left out of pocket because someone like you, didn't do the right thing, after doing the wrong thing.
    Delete away mate, at least you have read and hopefully understood my concerns.👍
    I think the Suron is a bit of a dilemma. It's a great little electric motorcycle but seems too much like a bicycle to be considered a motor vehicle. As such, its just sooooooo tempting to ride it without all the costly, legal requirements. It's a shame they don’t change the law because tbh, you can go just as fast and cause just as much harm on a non motorised bicycle and you don't need a licence/insurance for one of those.

    I built a nippy mid drive ebike back in 2015 which prompted my son to get a Surron that he sold a few months later. There was nowhere to ride it without people moaning on the tracks . I get away with it because mine is home made and a mountain bike. I can look like I'm pedalling even at 37mph . Maybe if Surron put a pushbike seat option on their bikes they wouldn't be as noticeable. Their peddle conversion also looks like it was conceived in the 50's and is utter garbage...

      My thoughts too
      I want one but it looks too much like an Actual Dirt Bike
      I do own a E Scooter and I don't think police care about that as many have them and they only go 15mph but Surround are way faster and have good range so you could argue they're like an Electric dirtbike but the thing is they aren't safe enough or fast enough for a Highway but they could match road speeds
      I feel like if they made E Bikes and Scooter legal they'll have a 15mph limit like in the others where they're legal
      But USA has better laws where it makes more sense where it's 20mph federally
      I am ok with 15-20mph but I don't get the wattage limits as wattage is for range

    The people who are complaining are jealous. i can not be jealous i am a new owner 😀 of an light bee x i can pick it up tomorrow.
    In the Netherlands it is only legal with lights blinker mirrors and a licence plate and driving licence. Without licence and plate you can only drive on private property.

      Hey man. Thank you. I would say do your research and check through the dvla website. That will give you most of the answers. But ideally your gonna want to be riding on private land to completely say out of the attention of the police. But I have personally never had any issues and you can see from my videos the kinds of places I ride. Be safe and respectful and you should be fine!! 👊

      @HerrEngelsman Рік тому +1

      If the motor takes a person above 15.5mph on a peddle assisted ebike, or if it's an electric bike without peddles then it's classed as a moped or motorbike - and they should only be used on roads legally. As I understand it.

    • @rasradders9708
      @rasradders9708 Рік тому +1

      There's a UK road-legal version of the Sur Ron, the L1e. No different to the off-road but has road legal lights, indicators and a number plate holder, and comes with a certificate of conformity, so can be taxed and insured and won't get confiscated if you're stopped by the Police. IMHO you'd be crazy not to buy the L1e.

  • @ericbana355
    @ericbana355 Рік тому +3

    Why,that’s easy.Because if it doesn’t have pedals it is a motorcycle,and if it is a motorcycle you should be insured,taxed street legal.Before I get branded a grumpy old git,I am a motorcyclist (35 years) A mountain biker ,bth normal bikes and ebikes,Limited to 15.5mph so assisted cycle.The problem are the idiots who ride everywhere,pavements footpaths,bridleways on unrestricted surons and piss everyone off ,I have loads of mates who motorcycle and e mtb and they cannot stand the suron riders who in our experience show very little respect to anyone whether on off road trails or pavements.

    Ist good that you are taking time to actually learn about these bike on a machanical perspective. I am building a bike with a back panier so I can go out on long camping trails in the wilderness and camp out a few nights. Will just say this as you mentioned keyboard warriors and some one saying you give the Sur Ron community a bad name. Its not people like you, as you seem very resectful when out riding. Its the ones that ride through traffic doing wheelies on the road sometimes on the wrong side and on coming traffic has to swerve to miss these idiots. Just the other week I heard one of them ended up in hospitol and last year one was killed. Its not just the grieving families of the kids being killed its the drivers who suffer mantal trauma aswell. I hpe these great bikes do not get banned because of idiots who have no respect for others, If you got this far I enjoyed your video and agree with what you said.
