Talaria Sting Review: Similar to the Sur Ron but with some Key Differences

We’ve moved! Check out our FULL article here. Summary below.

The Talaria Sting is an electric dirt bike built for adrenaline junkies, offering clean fun for riders seeking a larger, more substantial ride. It’s an appealing choice with key differences from the Sur Ron, as it was developed by individuals who branched away from Surron, aiming to enhance the electric dirt bike experience.

What’s the Same:

  • Both bikes share similar features, including 19″ diameter rims, brakes, front forks, headlight, suspension options, and a power system with a 60V 3000W motor.
  • They exhibit a similar style, making the transition between the two relatively smooth.

Key Differences:

  • The Talaria Sting is larger and heavier, weighing 138 lbs compared to Sur Ron’s 110 lbs.
  • It offers more ground clearance and comes with a longer seat, a wider rear swing arm accommodating a broader rear tire, and a larger 38 Ah battery (compared to Sur Ron’s 32 Ah).
  • The Talaria Sting has one battery connector instead of two, a new throttle, and an improved display with more control options.
  • It features enhanced regenerative braking that’s easily adjustable and a new start button to prevent accidental wheelies.
  • The Talaria Sting introduces a gearbox to replace Sur Ron’s problematic belt, requiring an oil change every 1000 km.
  • It’s less noisy, has more powerful initial acceleration, and a decreased turning radius.

Choosing the Talaria Sting over the Sur Ron is ideal for taller and heavier riders who engage in more trail riding. It’s equipped with upgrades that reduce maintenance needs, particularly the sealed gearbox, eliminating common issues like belt replacements. On the other hand, the Sur Ron suits shorter riders and street riders but may require more maintenance due to its belt drive system. Ultimately, the Talaria Sting provides a bigger, punchier riding experience, akin to a motorcycle, with the assurance of less maintenance, while the Sur Ron is a classic electric dirt bike with strong third-party support and accessories.
