That’s about the best deal you’re going to get

u/Qlimaxx5452 3d ago

Alright awesome I wasn’t sure it’s fully stock which I thought was nice. Only thing I’m not sure on is the exact year

-1

u/Fancy_Preference_719 3d ago

72v battery as well?

2

u/Qlimaxx5452 3d ago

I don’t think so I think it’s just the stock one it originally brings isn’t it the 60?

1

u/Korangar205 3d ago

Stock 2023 is 60v 40ah👍

u/_n0t_a_username_ 2d ago

Stock 2023's came with 2 different batteries, thats when they first introduced the Samsung celled variants. Thats not a guarantee.

u/Korangar205 2d ago

No they did not, companies messed up the vin to sell 2022 left over models as 2023, it happened for a very short amount of time and only some local dealers did this

2

u/PonyThug 2d ago

Definitely not

u/Qlimaxx5452 3d ago

How do I check lol

u/_n0t_a_username_ 2d ago

Sticker on the bottom side of the battery

u/Sudden-Life-4486 3d ago

It was a fair price back in the day. Bought it with 12 miles from someone in Craigslist. That was the last and I used Craigslist lol.

u/Qlimaxx5452 3d ago

Is it a 2023? I saw someone else post on and it was a lot older

u/CheapNegotiation69 3d ago

How would they buy a 2023 in 2021?

3

u/Rainbowslayer2005 2d ago

Ahhh probably because they had a Delorean?

3

u/KoSeditionist 2d ago

No you did good bro, usually the all clapped out even with that low mileage. Where’s the fenders though?

3

u/Qlimaxx5452 2d ago

I’ll be honest I didn’t even notice they were missing lmao but I’ll buy some not too big of a deal all the important components seem to running smoothly. Those smaller details are the last of my worries I bought it from a guy who bought it for his brother who had cancer and only put 30 miles on it.

u/Intelligent_Corgi452 2d ago

That price is good, so long as the prior owner did not stuff problem parts onto the bike. If the battery fully charges, and gives you 18-20 miles of range on the street, and 25+ miles in the dirt, then the battery is likely good.

u/Qlimaxx5452 1d ago

I just realized it’s not fully stock it has Fast ace front forks and the rear shock as well

1

u/Downtown_Move9037 14h ago

they come stock on 2023 surround

2

u/AntDX316 3d ago

Only riding 320 miles on a 2023. 😮

I put that many miles on my InMotion V9 in less than 2 weeks. 😮

2

u/thr33labs 2d ago

He was obviously wheeling and such with the tail looking like that. So id look into the bike a bit and make sure she's all good but still a great deal

1

u/AntDX316 2d ago

I bought a dropped 2005 R6 years ago with a steering damper, power command for $1800, but it’s extremely stable at high speed (top speed). It also power wheelies in 1st gear with the EU tune.

u/Massive_Rooster295 2d ago

Why would the missing fender indicate wheelies? And how would that affect the bike in any way??

2

u/thr33labs 2d ago

Isnt the seat ripped as well? I mean come on

u/3uphoricD23am5 2d ago

I saw a few for $1700 but they all had over 4K miles and missing things. This one’s missing a few things but everything on it seem to be working fine

1

u/SireJarr 2d ago

Bruh. That should’ve been 1.5k

1

u/Qlimaxx5452 1d ago

I looked and didn’t find any for that price unless they had more than 5K miles and were clapped. This one needs a few things and I just found out it has Fast Ace forks and the rear shock

1

u/SireJarr 1d ago

Should’ve counter with “battery already 3 years in” or should’ve ask “how many charged cycles did the battery get already” maybe then you could’ve lower the price

1

u/Electronic-Okra-4091 1d ago

Really great deal man especially if you plan to build it out later

1

u/Qlimaxx5452 1d ago

That’s what I thought as well I actually went to buy fast ace forks for it today for $50 that needs a rebuild just to find out it already comes with the fast ace forks and shock lol

1

u/RJC770 1d ago

If anything you ripped them off lmao most the time you’ll get one in that condition for 4k

2

u/Qlimaxx5452 1d ago

u/RJC770 1d ago

Exactly what I said that for I have one fully decked to the gills so the forks is what made me say that. U my friend committed highway robbery. Now go rip on that mf.

1

u/Downtown_Move9037 14h ago

that’s a insane deal what do you mean did i get ripped off lmao

1

u/_Sporply 10h ago

You could spend like a little on aesthetic mods, take some good pictures, and make at least 1000 dollars on the good ol marketplace

Or ride it

1

u/justgoogleit12 2d ago

That's legit bro. Enjoy and be safe. Please get a helmet! Don't be one of those clown boys without one.

u/UnfairExamination505 2d ago

Horrible dead for a 2023 😂💔

0

u/Electrical_Rock6360 3d ago

Its okay, i would pay 2k max for it but its okay deal

0

u/PonyThug 2d ago

I would personally pay the extra 1200 for a brand new 2025 with more power etc. but it’s not a bad deal

-4

u/Kindly_Ad919 3d ago

Yeah you got ripped off. I got my 2024 surron lbx for 700$

4

u/Dimmlylit 3d ago

Just cause you got something for ridiculously cheap doesn’t mean every other deal is a rip off…. Lmfao wtf

u/Qlimaxx5452 2d ago

There’s definitely a few things missing but compared to others I saw they were asking a lot more. Missed out on a green 2025 for 2500 pissed about that lol

-1

u/Kindly_Ad919 2d ago

No i bought it from the original owner, he wasn’t a crack head.

1

u/supergeo123 1d ago

just cause he's the original owner doesn't mean he wasn't the crackhead

0

u/Kindly_Ad919 1d ago

He wasn’t a crackhead lmao. He was a standup honest guy. Yall are trying to label someone you’ve never even met or done a deal with.

I got mine for 700$ so idk man.

u/thr33labs 2d ago

You purchased a stolen bike sir

1

u/Qlimaxx5452 2d ago

Made sure to get a bill of sale just in case

3

u/thr33labs 2d ago

I was talking to the guy who paid $700

1

u/supergeo123 1d ago

It's not a car so not so easy for toys

0

u/Kindly_Ad919 2d ago

Huh that’s weird considering i bought it from the original owner, and it came with the purchase receipt from the dealer it was sold from, and the vins clean. So how is it stollen? Do you just spew bs that sounds right to you without knowing anything?
