Motor Protection for Your E-Ride Pro and Surron — What to Bolt On First
Share
Hey, Bryce here! If you're running an E-Ride Pro SS 2.0, an LBX, or an Ultra Bee on real terrain — rocks, roots, desert whoops — you already know the stock setup leaves the motor exposed in all the wrong places. The E-Ride Pro's motor and drivetrain take a beating from debris, rocks, and trail grime, and on an electric dirt bike, motor damage isn't cheap. So let's talk about the electric dirt bike parts that actually prevent that.
Why Motor Protection Matters More on an E-Moto
On a gas bike you've got an exhaust and a bash plate doing a lot of guard work just by existing. On an electric dirt bike, the motor is front and center with nothing between it and the ground. The E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 and Pro S motor sits low — great for handling — but that means one wrong line on a rock garden can crack the motor case. Add a chain guard to the mix and you're also protecting the jackshaft sprocket, the chain itself, and your entire drivetrain from debris thrown up by the front wheel. These e-ride pro ss parts pay for themselves the first time you punch through something stupid.
Aluminum Motor Cover — Open Style (E-Ride Pro, Surron, Segway)
The aluminum motor cover (open style) is the first bolt-on I'd recommend for any E-Ride Pro, LBX, or Segway X260 owner. CNC machined from 6061 billet aluminum, it wraps the motor case without blocking airflow — that's the open-style design — so you're protecting the most vulnerable face of the motor from rock strikes and debris without cooking your stator. It drops straight onto the OEM mount points, no drilling, no custom brackets. This is the kind of e-ride pro upgrade that takes 10 minutes to install and you'll never think about again until you smash through something and realize nothing broke.
Premium Aluminum Bash Plate — E-Ride Pro SS 2.0
If you're running the E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 in rocky terrain or any enduro-style riding, the premium aluminum bash plate for the E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 is non-negotiable. This isn't a thin stamped piece — it's a proper thick-plate bash guard designed to take rock and log strikes and distribute the load away from the frame and battery. The fit is specific to the SS 2.0 geometry, so it hugs the underside without sacrificing ground clearance or rattling loose on the trail. Heavy hits that would crack the stock guard bounce off this thing. When you're picking your next set of e-ride pro ss parts, start here.
Aluminum Chain Guard — E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 and Pro S
The aluminum chain guard for the E-Ride Pro SS 2.0 and Pro S protects the drive chain, jackshaft sprocket, and the inner motor case from debris kicked up by the front wheel. Stock chain guards on these bikes are plastic — fine for smooth track riding, but hit a rocky section and they crack or flex enough to let debris impact the chain directly. The aluminum upgrade is rigid, mounts to the same bolt points, and won't flex into the chain under hard acceleration. It also keeps mud and rocks from packing into the sprocket teeth, which means longer chain and sprocket life. If your chain is eating through sprockets faster than it should, packed debris is usually why.
LBX and Ultra Bee Motor Covers
Running a Surron Light Bee X or Ultra Bee? Same concept applies. The LBX and Ultra Bee motor covers use the same open-style CNC aluminum construction scaled to each platform's motor geometry. The Ultra Bee in particular benefits from this — the motor is larger, more exposed, and if you're running high-power controller upgrades like the Ventus Aetos Ultra, protecting that motor case becomes critical. These electric dirt bike parts are in stock and ready to ship.
Stack These Together
The full protection stack — motor cover + bash plate + chain guard — is what I run on my own builds before I start throwing performance e-ride pro upgrades at the drivetrain. There's no point bolting on a high-performance jackshaft sprocket or a new chain if the first rock strike is going to damage the motor it feeds. Get the armor on first, then go fast.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will the aluminum motor cover fit both the E-Ride Pro SS 1.0 and SS 2.0?
The open-style aluminum motor cover fits the E-Ride Pro, E-Ride Pro SS 1.0, and SS 2.0, as well as the Surron Light Bee X and Segway X260. It mounts to the OEM bolt pattern with no modification required.
Does the bash plate reduce ground clearance on the E-Ride Pro SS 2.0?
The premium aluminum bash plate is profiled to match the SS 2.0 frame geometry closely, so ground clearance reduction is minimal — typically under 10mm. The added protection is well worth the trade-off for enduro and rocky trail riding.
Can I run the aluminum chain guard with an aftermarket jackshaft sprocket?
Yes. The chain guard mounts to the frame, not the sprocket, so it's compatible with aftermarket jackshaft sprockets including Warp 9 and other common upgrades. Standard aftermarket sprocket sizes are fine — just verify the chain line clears the guard edge.
Do you ship motor protection parts internationally?
Yes — ThrottleCo ships worldwide. US orders typically leave the warehouse within 1–2 business days. International transit times vary by destination.
