The Sur Ron X Evolved

As you can see in the excellent demo ride video from Electric Cycle Rider, the folks over at 4MFoundry are applying all that has been learned over the past few decades about off-road riding in designing their upgraded body and seat kit for the Sur Ron X.

The folks over at 4MFoundry applied decades of off-road riding knowledge to design their upgraded body and seat kit for the Sur Ron X. Already a very capable platform at a remarkable price, The Sur Ron X looks to benefit in several ways from the after-market body kit.

The kit features an extension of seat padding over the battery storage area. This allows riders to shift their weight more comfortably forward when needed. Side skirts enable riders to grip and control the bike with their knees. Aesthetically, the kit cleans up the bike design. 4MFoundry’s efforts highlight one of the best things about the Sur Ron platform—passionate and relatively easy community-based customization. Here’s wishing 4MFoundry all the best in improving the already remarkable Sur Ron X.

The bivouac has been impressed by recent videos highlighting the surprising capabilities of the Sur-Ron electric bike, proving that companies like Tesla are not alone in disrupting mobility as we know it. Check out what Electric Cycle Rider says while shaking down a Sur-Ron and watch it perform while racing. It is still early in the electric bike segment, so reaching these performance levels is impressive. While riders are dialing in brakes, forks, and other components, the Sur-Ron platform, in particular, is amazing right out of the box. Even so, companies like Luna Cycle are finding new ways to get even more out of their Sur-Rons by adding belt drives by Gates and even engineering their high-output batteries. Watch this space and keep up if you can. 2020 looks to be another fast-moving year for this segment.
