I gather the power makes them a moped under NZ laws ...

Too powerful to use on DOC tracks AFAIK, doc workers use them though

this is a bit more like it, not cheap tho

If you are looking at a full sized bike, these seem to have the best reputation and performance. Front and back tyres are identical (standard 21 inch trailbike size) There appears to be a NZ rep. Some good NZ YT footage too.

This YT shows how close in performance the Sur Ron is to a high performance 2 stroke 250:

30-40 mile range. 7.5K ish NZ

Shit it looks like that thing can take a pounding. Plenty of grunt too. I wonder how the batteries hold up over time with a bit of bashing. No shortage of power though. I'm thinking about getting an E bike for a combo of commuting and off road. These look like it could be a contender
