Essential Metal Upgrades for Your E-Moto: Kickstand, Motor Cover and More

Emirali Mazanov

Light e-motos like the Sur-Ron, Talaria and E-Ride Pro come with a lot of plastic and some parts that are built to a price. Ride hard and those are the first things to crack, bend or wobble. These are the essential metal upgrades we'd put on any bike that gets ridden properly, starting with the kickstand.

1. A kickstand you can trust

You use the kickstand every single ride, so it should be built to last. Our Upgraded Kickstand is a heavy-duty replacement:

  • Sturdy: thick, heavy-duty metal with a reinforced design, made to handle daily use, uneven ground and heavier builds.
  • Adjustable: the length adjusts so you can set the right lean angle. That matters most after you change wheels, tires or suspension and the stock stand no longer sits right.
  • Easy adjustment: set it to suit your bike and you're done.
  • Clean finish: chrome silver or gloss black, with laser-engraved logos.

Choose the version for your bike: Sur-Ron LBX / E-Ride / Talaria XXX / MX3 / MX4, or Sur-Ron Ultra Bee.

On a Tuttio Soleil 01? It doesn't come with a kickstand at all. Our Tuttio Soleil 01 kickstand adds one without permanent frame modifications, and it also fits Razor mini motos.

2. A metal motor cover

Most stock motor covers are plastic, and they're often the first thing to crack from rocks, roost and drops. A metal cover bolts on in its place and shields the motor. Each one carries a laser-engraved Forged Racing logo:

3. Underbody protection

The underside of the bike takes the hardest hits. On the Sur-Ron Light Bee X, the Heavy Hitter Bash Guard is CNC-machined aluminum that protects the motor, frame and lower chassis from rocks, roots and logs. It bolts on using the factory mounting points and works with the stock motor, the Ventus 28kW and the EBMX XLB60.

4. Stronger foot peg brackets

Stock peg brackets are a weak point when you ride aggressively. Our metal replacements give your pegs a solid base:

Then add wider pegs or a foot lock for more grip and control.

5. Talaria XXX: replace the rest of the plastic

XXX owners can go further with CNC metal side panels (both sides, bolts included) and a metal ignition cover that helps protect the ignition wiring.

6. Protect the display

A CNC aluminum display guard shields the screen on the Talaria XXX (not the Pro), the Talaria Sting MX3 / MX4 and EBMX displays.
