The best attribute to the Sur-Ron X and Segway X260 electric Dirt E bike is it's affordability. It's currently the cheapest electric dirt bike available and these e-bikes have a low cost because they do not come equipped with expensive components.
We all want our bikes to perform well, but adding thousands of dollars worth of high end components defeats the purpose of buying a cheap bike.
One of the best modifications you can do to your Sur-Ron X or Segway X260 is improve the suspension. Most of these bikes come equipped with a DNM Volcano fork and DNM shock and in stock form are not the best option for riding offroad. On the flip side, replacing these suspension components with high end suspension brands like Fox, Rockshox, Ohlins and DVO would cost a couple thousand dollars.
If you're wanting to improve the offroad handling of your Sur-Ron or Segway without spending thousands of dollars, Dirtlabs Suspension can revalve and overhaul your fork and shock to improve it's off-road capabilities. They revalve the fork, make the damper progressively stiffer and replace with high quality oil and seals. Learn more by contacting Dirtlabs here: bit.ly/Dirtlabs

Hi, Thank you for this video. From what I am seeing as far as the Sur Ron X, is that everyone is taking a cool little and affordable e-dirt bike and trying to make it into a KTM free ride. As an ex-SX/MX racer, now older wanting a fun bike for single track, whoops, and trails around our farm without scaring the horses or ticking off the neighbors, too much. Being able to have a decent bike without spending more after the purchase of the bike, on accessories and extras, that are for someone wanting to send it.

@Coldasllfe 3 года назад

I’m glad you pointed out the fact that this bike is supposed to be an affordable alternative. People throwing thousands into upgraded controllers and high voltage batteries on these would have been better off just getting a E-XC Freeride.

I just love having high-powered machine at 60kg, which I can ride in city parks and not get arrested :) full sized bike won't give this. As to Kuberg - thd battery is just a tad too small :) And don't forget the pleasure of building the bike, it's like a Lego for adults :)

@GustavoTestaCorrea 3 года назад

@@electroendurodiary I fully understand your point. I do prefer my Sur Ron and Kuberg better than my gas powered one for the same reasons. The Kuberg has a 30Ah battery option that's better than Sur Ron's battery. If you're a taller guy you'll definitely like to ride the Kuberg. Also, the 14kw version is really powerful.

@bencote2219 2 года назад

Look for mtn bike rebuild and revalve articles for the fork and shock. I revalved Honda XR400R and XR200 forks. Not that hard, but getting the valving right is the trick. Part of the price is getting tested valving.

@mrskywalker115 Год назад

@@user-FishermanRick I wouldn't get the RST revalved but mime worked fine for slower tech riding(sub 25mph) after adding oil to wipers and lowers. Even ran a few arenacross pitbike races and they were fine. But now that there are dnm forks for 1/3 the cost fox40s and on 2x as much as these with the ability to revalve them it doesn't make sense to go with anything else. They are actually even heavier duty than the 40s but still lighter than full mx 85 forks

@troymuni6120 3 года назад

Normally a huge fan of this guy, especially the first video but this one, not so much. It’s a friggen commercial. You want to improve your suspension? You replace it. Jade in the rear + plus the 550lbs DNM spring and replace the front. I’ve even been lucky enough to snag a titanium spring in back which was not cheap, but is incredibly light. Total cost for my used Jade and DNM 550 spring was $350. The cheaper DNM 550 spring is only $50 and Is a huge improvement. That’s not a lot of $ considering the cost of the bike. The front fork is just ok, but there is no other option other than replacement for true any real improvement. This video doesn’t address the elephant in the room with the forks - does the service magically make the stanchions 38’s or 40s? The DNMs would be ok if they were adjustable, but they are not designed to sustain the weight of this bike over the long term for hard riding. Anyone who has them knows the stock adjustments don’t do anything. You don’t need a service to improve them either. People have been buying the inners off eBay. If the intent of this video was to help people save money, it would be telling you what to buy yourself. There’s no need for this service because the majority of the work is in removal/installation which you still have to do yourself.

@ElectricCycleRider 3 года назад

@Troy Muni Hey Troy, Thanks for the note. Yes. The intent of the video is to help people save money and is not the last video I have planned for showing cheaper suspension options. It's great to hear you've found a solution for your bike. Buying used suspension on ebay may work for some but it isn't always straight forward and affordable. I'm showing that alternative options exist and there are ways to make the stock equipment better.
