Life Time Warranty: "Side Rails Only" We are so confident in this skidplate that we will replace the side rails if they ever bend for FREE! (Not applicable to bash plates, replacements are available upon request).
Meet the last skid plate your bike will ever need. With 7075 T6 billet aluminum side supports and replaceable bash plates, the GritShift Heavy Hitter Skid Plate can withstand a whopping 6,000 lbs of force, making it the end-all protection solution for Sur Ron, Segway, and Talaria e-bikes.
The most vulnerable part of our e-bikes is the motor. It’s at the very bottom of the frame, right where obstacles like rocks, roots, and logs can strike at a moment’s notice. Unfortunately, Sur Ron, Segway, and Talaria ship their bikes with skid plates that lack critical support structures. Even most aftermarket plates only have a weak frame rail underneath a thin lightweight bash plate, leading to deformation, punctures, and outright breakage when you start going full send.
Depending on what kind of riding you do, you might even be hitting those obstacles on purpose – sometimes there’s no way through but to drag it through – and that’s when you need a skid plate with precise angles designed to keep you moving and not bog you down.
The Heavy Hitter Skid Plate has the perfect strike angle for logs, rocks, and other obstacles. With a thick 10mm aluminum bash plate, extended tail section, and strategically placed venting, our skid plate offers top-notch motor protection for on-road and off-road use alike. And if you do happen to damage it, the replaceable bash plate can be switched out for a new one in minutes.
The end-all solution. When you're sending it off jumps and over rocks like we do, it only takes one obstacle deforming or punching a hole through your bike’s skid plate for the motor to become vulnerable, or worse, for it to get damaged beyond repair. We were tired of constantly destroying weak and wobbly skid plates that had little to no support structure, so we made our own. Months of R&D later, the final product is this overbuilt skid plate engineered to keep your bike going when the terrain tries to hold you back.
TKO tested. GritShift approved. We put these skid plates through the ultimate test of endurance at the 2022 Red Bull Tennessee Knockout Hard Enduro. Our bikes kept going through dozens of miles of rocky step-ups, big drops, log jumps, and rhythm obstacles in what Electric Cycle Rider called one the most punishing courses in all of Hard Enduro. And not only did our skid plates hold up, they were ready for more. We integrated what we learned into the final product, and today’s Heavy Hitter Skid Plate was born.

I bought a silver belt cover thinking it may be a perfect fit but it isn’t and I’m not downplaying this piece I absolutely love the look and talaria boys I just wish there was more detail or description explaining the fit I probably could use big spacers and longer screws but I was expecting a good fit especially since I know TB test all
Their pieces on the bikes before confirming bike fitments , when I first put the belt cover on I automatically did notice it was smaller then the OEM belt cover and that the TB cover was pressed up against the belt and I was willing to test it out for a few days accepting the fact it might wear down my belt or snap it because of the rubbing but I was get assuming if it did so then the belt wouldn’t be touching the cover anymore with a chance of not snapping the belt entirely but after about a week of having the TB cover on riding home from work each time I’d let off the throttle and get under 10mph I started to hear metal scraping , the same sound you’d hear if one of your break pistons is touching the rotor two metals sliding and scraping against eachother and at first I just thought it was the break pistons plus I have to make it home so I wasn’t fully examining what and where the sound was coming from just because my old talaria mx3 break piston would scrap against the rotor and make the exact sound but once I got home and took the SR out again I was looking for the exact reason and place the sound was coming from and when I put my head near the belt cover I heard the sound loudly and when I did the same by putting my head near the break disc I did hear it as loud there and that the sound wasn’t perfectly coming from there and then I knew it wasn’t the break pistons but the belt and that was yesterday and today with sunlight I took the belt cover off to find a section on the belt cover grinded away from the belt and again I’m not knocking TB or there pieces because all my aftermarket pieces are mainly from them for my MX3 and SR i just wish they describe in the description not snug fit and may need longer screws and big spacers for a perfect fit I still want to keep and use the TB belt cover but at this point I’d rather rock the OEM cover rather than lose the belt and I’m just informing TB or future buyers for SR and maybe 3.0’s , I’m sure it fits on past models from Eride but for the SR it’s not a snug fit and will be scraping I can’t fully say about the 3.0 but I know the SR and 3.0 are very similar so take the risk but 2.0s and lower I’m sure this will fit and I’m just informing this information for positive future changes , maybe TB could make a slightly bigger and longer belt cover for the SR and have bike fitment selection for Eride pro s all the way up to the SR for better fitments now I don’t wanna compare websites but I found another website offering the same exact design of belt cover just a different logo but they have an option for 2.0’s and 3.0/SR belt cover I’m assuming the option would be because the 3.0 and SR would need a bigger cover and I’m not looking for no refund or to tarnish TB I’ll actually point people to buy from TB because their reliable for a lot of aftermarket parts just not this belt cover FOR the SR . But thank you TB I’ll still be buying parts just wanted to inform future buyers for certain bikes and for possibly positive improvements TB could take for this specific piece and bike
( I’ll even add photos of my belt cover and belt for reference)
I was blown away by TB Electric. I ordered the X9000 for our LBX as we were chasing a throttle issue, and I wanted the Torp TC1000, but since it wasn't in stock anywhere, I decided my second choice (the X9000) was worth a shot, and found that TBElectric had it in stock. So glad we went this route. The bike (with a stock battery 60V32Ah) is transformed. Already had the Domino throttle as we were chasing an intermittent issue, once the throttle was mapped, the bike went from being a difficult bike to wheelie, to floating up to BP with relative ease. Not only that, but there is so much programmability in the controller, (I hope we don't screw that up). but with throttle regen for breaking, ability to change batteries quickly and easily, and just the overall riding experience upgrade, I am now thinking I want the same thing for my MX4. Now I see why so many people have controllers on their bikes...it actually improves the stock bike experience. I cannot imagine what it might be like with a 72V battery...but that will have to wait for now.
Anyway, this thing arrived within a few days!...for some reason, I was expecting to have to wait a week or two if not more. The whole experience blew me away. Good job guys.
I bought the talaria xxx headlight upgrade bundle to make the front look better. Upon arrival, I tried to fit the bracket and it just would not fit the xxx. The most I could get it to do was fit the first two holes, but that was about it. It's not like everything isn't functional, but my headlight area just looks goofy and honestly seems like the bracket might snap off with a hard enough crash.
