If you think I’m just going to rant about how crappy a stock Surron LBX is, there’s some of that, but rest assured, I’m here to help. Upgrade your LBX now to avoid fixing it later.
Ok, so maybe this isn’t as exciting as adding a heap more Kilowatts, but trust me, you’ll be able to make your LBX perform so much better with a few small, inexpensive tweaks. And if you set up your e-moto correctly, you’ll be able to ride for many, many years without stuffing up your body.
Let’s look into why the primary drive belt on a Surron LBX is so important, why some riders actually choose to change the belt to a chain (even if it’s louder), and how to make the conversion (and what to do if something goes wrong!)
In most states of the USA, there are 3 classes of e-bikes. The classes range in top speeds with various configurations, but all require pedals. Each class is allowed to ride in different locations. Hence, the idea of adding pedals to your e-moto to make it an ebike doesn’t seem out of the question.
Surron headset freeplay occurs when the stem mount loosens, or the stock star nut that’s inside the steering tube loses its grip. This can happen over time, especially if you do lots of wheelies or stoppies.
Surron LBX e-motos require maintenance, just like any other motorcycle, bicycle, or vehicle. The good news is that much less needs to be done on an e-moto. There are no air filters to clean, no plugs that foul— it’s all really nice and simple.

Upgrading your Surron LBX’s battery is as simple as purchasing a new one, opening the battery cover, unplugging the cables, removing the battery, and doing the reverse with the new one!
However, it’s not quite as simple as replacing the motor with a bigger one to get a higher top speed. There are three components that need to be considered before you’ll be topping out at a lightning-quick speed.
The Surron controller takes input from the rider via throttle and brake, and from sensors such as a tilt sensor, stand sensor, and even temperature sensors to instruct the motor to output the correct power in the correct way.
Tall riders will find these bikes feel small in stock form, much like a 125cc gas bike. But we can fix that — and tell me you wouldn’t have fun on a 125!!
