DAMN Riders - No rules, Just ride!

Looks like my 64 tooth (or maybe a bit larger) I run on my Surron. Pulls my fat ass pretty much anywhere. I can do the big hill climb at Phil's but I have to do the old switch back routine 1 time. FWIW, The UB uses 520 chain so the sprockets have less teeth for the same diameter. My orig joking asi...

I have for sale some extra Sur-Ron parts. Tires: 1) two used 70/100-19 CST tires. These are the oem tires that come on a SurRon w/ low miles. $30 for the pair. 2) two *NEW* 70/100-19 CST tires. These are the oem tires that come on a SurRon. New replacements and have never been mounted. $50 for the p...

Thats a pretty cool way to drop a motor into a frame w/o mods. Can appreciate the engineering and work. I see he left the kick starter on :) But gears are pretty much pointless on most AC motors and he'll take an efficiency hit w/ all those constant mesh gears. Just pick a slightly bigger motor and/...

Tucker @ ECR gets first ride of the Flux Primo. Its still at least 2yrs away though :(

I'm not sure what sprocket Sam is running on there but with that 16" rear wheel it looks like 200 teeth :) Would give DaveJ's LightBee sprocket a run for its money! I'm sure it has plenty of torque even in eco mode.

Phoo, Awesome you got to ride one on real trails! Your images aren't showing up for me :( The 20hp no wheelie thing - its weird in that the LightBee, UltraBee, and KTM-Es all make <20hp and will put you on your back when you twist the grip. I still hope they allow some more customization of torque a...

Arctic Leopard E-XE 880. Lighter than a KTM gas bike and bigger battery than the Varg. WTF? This wasn't even on my radar.


CCW says there are at least 5 more electrics coming out in 2024. Including an Arctic Leopard that is more of an UltraBee competitor.

Sneekers? seriously..... Hey, I'll have you know those are hiking shoes! :) We weren't really riding. I had on just my work jeans and a t-shirt when Phil questioned my not wearing a long sleeve shirt so I zipped back and threw on a jersey. I do more on a mountain bike w/ far less on. I do wish I no...

You must be in the "convince myself I don't really want a Varg" forums because that's counter to everything I see in the three forums I'm in and the videos I just watched. :) LOL. I just used to design EV drives and can pickup on this stuff quickly. I invented an optimal SVM zero vector s...

One thing to remember about "25 HP" is that you still get all that torque and watching the video he was clearly not lacking for power. ~Patrick You don't :( It was the first thing obvious on my test ride. Its a total dog at low power. At 25hp it makes less 'snap' than a stock 6hp Light Be...
