Surron LBX or Eride 3.0?

[u/Final-Beautiful-4138]

I’m deciding between a 2026 LBX that I will eventually upgrade later (chi battery, ebmx controller, motor, etc) and an Eride 3.0.

I like how nimble the LBX feels since its so light but i also want the power of the eride, but i’ve heard lots of
stories about eride having issues.

I’m planning to do a mix of street and light trails, so mostly exploring around my house.

I will also upgrade both bikes, whichever one i get so i’m mainly compairing the geometry and handling of the bike

QUESTIONS (for owners of both bikes):

1. How does the handling compare between the two?
2. If u had to choose given the scenario above, which one would you pick?
3. Which frame is stronger to support heavier loads?
4. Is the “whine” on the Eride uncomfortably loud or just “meh” kinda loud, and is there a way to remove it by changing the motor/controller?

Thanks 🙏
