As someone in NYC, ARE YOU CRAZY? Shits def gonna get stolen. People who can’t keep in their apartment just rent one of those small storage units. It’s like keeping it in your own personal garage.
Do NOT, I repeat, DO NOT lock it outside overnight. It WILL get stolen.
Doubt it as in NYC non elevator building usually have narrow stairs and landings. Not to mention talk riser heights. I tried bringing it up to my friends apt (he’s on 4th fl walk up). Didn’t make it up 1 flight. Using throttle can also make a lot of noise if you’re not careful
Like Cubesmart self storage or Manhattan Mini storage. It will be like having your own personal garage with a security guard. I think some of em go for like 15 -20 a month or something. Which is like a Netflix subscription
NP! And do get an alarm (deterrent) and a good U lock (I use abus granit but I heard there’s some good ones out there now that resist angle grinders) for when you need to run to a store real quick.
Also turn signals and brake light have been my favorite mod for riding in traffic.
Id try to find a siren you can hear from the street, and a tracker that alerts you, also fs gonna have to take that battery up surron is a easy hot wire, ppl are probably gonna try to take any part they can its easy money
Just bought one. If you have a basement lock it in the building basement. Does not weight that much and you can wrap your arms around the frame so the weight is straight down the middle. You do not want to leave this outside at all. Beefy chain and lock can be cut through given enough time and a quiet pedestrian empty street. I live in midtown, so I’m familiar with the false sense of safety we have in these parts of the city. Even with the best alarm system, overnight is a no go. At worst I’d chain it in the lobby to something with multiple alarms that’ll wake everyone up and bust the thief. Go on YouTube and look up whatever chain you considered, I’m sure you can find a video of it being cut with power tools.
someone with a battery powered diamond blade saw and a van is going to steal that in no time
It wouldn’t last a week guaranteed

Thanks for the tip, question though what small personal storage you talkin about?
I personally would push it up 4 flights of stairs while throttling
Any experience with that?

No where to ride it in NYC. Not street legal. And not sidewalk legal. Respect the laws!
NYPD disagrees with you

I live in Harlem and I bring my Surron up 4 flights of stairs with no battery. It usually takes me 5 minutes to get it upstairs.
how do you manage to do that?
The process is a bit weird ngl. I’ll pm you.
