Sur-Ron Bikes

Post by Mosel Bikes »

Anyone own or ridden one of these?
I did a search on here, but it only came up with being mentioned as a possible option for people.
They seem to have full-on dirt and also road legal.
Presumably, the road legal one has to have all the things a normal road bike would? Registration and plate, insurance, MOT, road tax? Anyone know?
Might be something I'd be interested in, as age, one hip replaced and the other due to be done in a few weeks, means I struggle to pedal, so a 'normal' pedal/assisted bike is no use to me. Just fancy being able to bimble quietly along the myriad of tiny back roads we have here in Northumberland, with the very occasional venture off the beaten track.

Thanks guys, I'll follow up on the agents, hadn't realised they were so well known. Their website seems to indicate very limited stock, must be doing ok. I'll check that video, never thought to look on Youtube.
Cheers.

I like the look of that 8-) .

The Bultaco Brinco R has also had a good review...and I believe you don't have to pedal it, you can just use the throttle so it's quite stealthy...

Rear hub motor, massive unsprung weight will mean the rear suspension will be shite, mid motor is the way to go
