The Lightbee X is Surron’s flagship bike. The first model was introduced in 2017 and it was 2019 when the bike hit the US market. There have been some updates to the battery, motor and specific hard parts, but overall, the Lightbee is largely unchanged since its introduction. It comes in with a super low seat height of 32.6 inches, weighs 123 pounds and has a current MSRP of $4,500. I think it’s the best bike to teach new riders, male or female, young or old, and the best all around bike that almost everyone can have fun on.
The Ultra Bee is bigger, faster and more off-road oriented than the Lightbee. It has a seat height of 35.8 inches, weighs 187 pounds and has a current MSRP of $6,500. A point that I really want to drive home with the Surron Ultra Bee is that it is a really easy, laid back bike to ride, especially when you’re in the low power modes. A lot of the DNA of the Lightbee carries over into this Surron Ultra Bee, making it a super playful, agile bike, but off road riders that are wanting more out of their Lightbee or those that are used to riding traditional dirt bikes will really appreciate the upgrades on this model. The bigger battery provides more capacity, its full size seat and more natural ergonomics, paired with proper dirt bike components, makes this bike feel like a more competitive option.
The Storm Bee is the biggest bike in the lineup, weighing 280 pounds, with a seat height of 37 inches and an MSRP of $8,500. You would think that the performance would be a step up on each of these models but I would debate that theory once we get to the Surron Storm Bee. Despite the fact that the Storm has the most power, full size moto suspension and a 21 inch front and 18 inch rear wheel combo, it also has the most weight, by a long shot. All of that makes for a strong machine but I still think the Ultra Bee is the more sporty option.

Ultra Bee. I just pre-ordered one to ride with our son who has a LBX. Can't wait for delivery in May from CCWs!
STARK VARG LOL, JK I still Love my Segway X260 it's the 1 I bought thanks to you Tucker😉
Can't understand why these things go for $12k or MORE!! Yes they are cool but they should come with a permanent girlfriend for that much $$$
Sorry I finally got artic leopard here. Surons gone to new owner. Leopard is 3x the machine. 25kw 35hp and 800 ft lbs of torque. Gas machines drewl
Ultra Bee is ballsie enough for me
I tried the LBX about 1.5 years ago. It was too small for me and I wasn't keen on the mods needed to fit me. I'm 187cm (6' 1.5") and 85kg (187 lbs) with a long torso. A while later, a used pre-release Storm Bee became available. I rode it, loved it and bought it. It's an awesome bike for my size and style. I don't do motocross tracks but we have endless open country to explore in Mongolia. So it works well for that. However, it's limited by its height and weight to less technical trails.
So a few weeks ago, I added the Ultra Bee which inspires more confidence in me to take on steep, technical trails. Whereas, I'd tip over on the Storm Bee, I can catch the Ultra Bee before I drop it. It's so light for me and lower which really helps on steep hills.
I love them both and I'm glad I can afford both. They are also cheaper to buy in Mongolia by about $1200 or so because we are next door to China. I paid $5200 OTD for the Ultra Bee (new) and $7200 for the Storm Bee (used).
Mongolia must be so fun for biking.
@@jakebarnes3054 It is incredible.
will the lbx be good for be i’m 5’5and 13
Hey, I am 190cm and 105kg, and likewise tall in the torso, if I am primary looking to do trails, should I consider more the Ultra bee?
@@flimflam7271 I think it would be okay but you might want handle bar risers.
Really loving this comparison video. Excellent job as always. I think a lot of people have been waiting for this one.
Appreciate it!
I’ve had a Light Bee for 4 years. I recently upgraded to a 72 Volt/BAC 4000. I’m 80 and I like the light weight. I live in a small town in Idaho(Twin Falls)and wish there was a local shop that had some expertise on electric propulsion systems. Idaho just got a Zero dealer (Idaho Falls). I’ve had 3 Sondors Ebikes and bought a Metacycle. Not happy with it! The SurRon is more fun. If the UltraBee had been available I probably would’ve gotten it. Thanks for the info/video.
That's why I keep going back to the 'X'...it looks small enough to not stand out if I want to hooligan. Just wish you could mod them at build, so not have to pay so much extra and then have the stock parts laying around. BTW: Don't forget, we can go to Fountain Creek, Pueblo, Penrose Commons, Seep Springs, Texas Creek...even Dragon Mans!
yea i wish surron would make like a "light bee XR". it would be like an upgraded light bee with like 10kw, slightly better suspension, better brakes and maybe a 3kwh battery. But still remaining in the same formfactor to fly under the radar.
Bro the light bee x is just as illegal as the ultra bee I’m tired of hearing this argument for a grown adult male the light bee x is like a childrens bike the size difference is not as big as everyone is trying to make it seem
Surron missed out big time not recognising that. Your best option could be to go to a dealer who can get spare parts , it is possible to build up a surrron that way depending on how much aftermarket stuff your getting
Luna's talaria R is like a built sur Ron for about the price of a stock one..
Ultrabee is for sure my next bike, next size up and much more bang for the buck over the lightbee for off-roading purposes at least. Brakes and suspension not being MTB based is a huge factor I feel needs to be considered. Being over 100lbs lighter then stormbee is a huge for keeping bike light and nimble.
@Surron SD Yup! I agree! Modded Ultra is going to be hard to beat.
@@ElectricCycleRider I wonder if this is the same for taller and heavier riders? It would be interesting if you could do a comparison for a rider around 6 + feet and around 80 + kg. Put a larger, skilled rider on each and get their opinion. It might help us bigger dudes sort out which bike suits us.
I agree with you. After owning a light bee for around a year and a half i think it would be cool to upgrade to the ultra bee. However a big problem that is see with it is the looks. I live in the suburbs of chicago, riding through parks, streets and the bike path. But the ultra bee just wouldnt fit in, in my area, it looks too much like a dirt bike to fly under the radar.
@@johnbrown562 yep and that’s why each bike has different traits that suit the individual rider. The smaller lightbee is more stealthy and more suited for urban scenarios, while still being an amazing tight single track ripper, but the caveat to it is that is uses under powered MTB brakes and suspension. The ultra bee while being less stealthy has all the things a lot of us lightbee owners have always wanted, motorcycle brakes, bigger beefier suspension, a more traditional moto style seat, a wider frame to bite down onto.
@@markwilton4412much over 80kg😝
I’m 110kg & 189cm so most of these bikes are too small.
Ultra Bee looks like the pick. I’m yet to ride one though.
Excellent review of each bike!
Amazing review, and fantastic footage.
StormBee looks like an E-Husqvarna. I really want one, but you couldn’t take it to the dunes, or mud without the batteries being depleted quickly. Seems like E-bikes still have a long ways to go before they truly can compete with a petrol burning bike.
Still they look incredibly fun, and I would love a Surron for exploring smaller trails or adventuring around locally.
Great videos! I have been following the scene for a while now, and I’m guessing that the ultra Bee is more like the old Quantyas? Size and performance? Would you agree? Also the suspension upgrade on the Ultra Bee would it be be more along the lines of mountain bike componentry or motocross…? Thanks again from New York!
There we go, bought an Ultra Bee and going to pick it up Today! 🖖
Thanks for this video, it really helped me chose!
Awesome review man. Can’t wait to get the ultra and storm out in Hawaii for some killer trail riding.
Thanks for the video, I live in Colorado... was that Berthoud ? I bought a light bee about six months ago, love it.
What kind of suspension would you recommend putting on the light bee x in order to hit the track/jumps?
I'm interested in doing ohlins downhill forks and rear shock. Have also seen people do fox 40s, Manitou dorado, marzocchi bomber, fast ace, ext Ferro, or even 85cc mx front ends. Which would you recommend for the best weight and performance??
Yes bro I’ve been waiting for this for months!
Thanks for the review
I'm also interested in version of Storm Bee which is more off-road focused that should outperform the smaller Ultra Bee in the MX track, for example.
Thanks for sharing your riding experience. Do all three have whiskey throttles?
Great video! Excited to see your full review on ultra bee! And also mods that come out for it Ultra.
EBMX already has upgrade battery 82v 75ah and controller for the Ultra . Hope Chi makes a batter as well
I checked the EBMX website and don't see that upgrade. Is it an Australia only option?
@TheShreditor For sure, we sell th EBMX X9000 controller on our site as well. It'll be a bit longer before that is an option for purchase for the Ultra but looking forward to trying it. We've got some wheel options and suspension options coming soon as well too. Will be fun to try everything!
Another gr8 review! With more videos like this, the easier it will be for riders to make a better choice. For me the LB is an electric mountain bike - and the others would be classed as electric motorcycles. For urban riders with no garage, you may need to be able to easily lift and carry the battery out the LB to charge up and charging even on AC household is about 3 hours. Taller riders would most likely naturally go for the other two bikes :)
Thanks for such an informative video. Deposit is in on the Ultra!👍👍
@Paul Danrich Solid choice! 👍
Wow... for once a great product video that convinces me the smallest one is probably enough for my wants as a van life 2nd vehicle hood crawler type thing.
Love this video!!
Now I want a Surron even more but also broke af 😭
Awesome comparison video. I am waiting for the review of the legal in Commifornina vid.
Been waiting for this 🔥
Thanks for these reviews, it really helps to see side-by-side differences between them. Really interested to see what mods would you do on a Storm Bee!
I bought the Storm Bee just 2 days ago and also tested the Ultra Bee at the same time. For me Storm feels like a better bike - much more powerful, feels more solid, and that gearbox sounds is just amazing! Ultra Bee felt a bit underpowered, it immediately needs a new set of wheels and probably a suspension tune. I am very interested in what kind of mods we will see for both bikes.
I bought a Strom Bee a year ago (the cross version, 90V48AH) and now seeing the new version with the 105V55AH battery, I want it! I wonder if it's possible to buy the battery separately...?
STORM BEE - TOP!
@Laurynas Great to hear your perspective on it! Agree the modification offerings will be interesting for the Ultra. Looking forward to trying them!
@@sixsmoke It's a good question, I rode both models and the way the battery is secured in the bike was different between the 90v and the 105v. It appeared to be the same size but I'm not entirely sure.
@@ElectricCycleRider You said that you have an idea to test making the Storm Bee more racy. Without spoiling what I assume is your future video, what mods are you considering? Is it only about suspension or is there more to it?
@@ElectricCycleRider Ohhh... =( That's too bad. But thanks for the answer.
I've had heavy street bikes. Had alot of fun on stock surron once.. But I felt I needed one with 12kw. Now I'm in dubious if I don't just need a ultra bee. However I'm afraid it's heavier and loses the nimbly. But then again it's not even that fast. So then the storm comes in. But at that moment it's even heavier....
Great job on the video folks! Thanks for making it. I think I really just want to get a light bee. If for no other reason than just for the ability to use just about any hitch-mounted bike carrier to pop it on the back of my 4runner and take it out to the desert. Now if I had a trailer I would probably be all about the new Ultra Bee
@Hobbies4Hire Thanks! The Light Bee is great but you can easily put the Ultra Bee on a hitch mounted carrier! I wouldn't let that hold you back. While it may be heavy for a bicycle specific carrier, I've put bikes as heavy as a KLR650 on a hitch carrier. 👍
Check out MotoTote $$$ but would work great for UB
Light Bee for me. I'm interested in an "e-bike" eventually, but recently got rid of my townie/hard-tail mtn bike since the riding vs. storage-hassle was too much. I saw some videos of these things getting fully submerged and riding away. It's not particularly in the budget for me, but I could see having a, mostly-waterproof, motorcycle. It would need to be "light enough" to load onto the frame of a standard 14' whitewater raft, preferably as a solo. (It's likely you would have some ramps/racks/straps that would serve multiple purposes between the bike/raft anyhow). You would still need a duo partner to avoid leaving the raft or bike un-attended for some portion of the shuttle operation. Solo-shuttle could be possible in the right time/place, but having a long-distance bike could save having to bring two vehicles/trailers and the associated logistics in either event. (river shuttle logistics are funny enough without extra people, vehicle, or trailer requirements. A typical 14' expedition-raft weighs about 200 lbs, between the frame and rubber, and comfortably weighs around 1200-1300 lbs with gear and liquids on launch day for a week-long trip. Your group size per boat, and desired level of luxury will dictate this weight, but I figure there's plenty of weight capacity for a bike and rack on my boat for a day trip...and beyond.
Would you recommend the Storm Bee or Zero FX for street use that occasionally sees dirt?
Very interested in an Ultra Bee for trail riding and if possible, supermoto track days with some 17” wheels. Will the battery/motor overheat on an asphalt/dirt supermoto track during a western USA summer track day? I can’t seem to find any info on anyone doing any SM kart track riding with these but that seems like it would be a ton of fun. I’d rather not have to deal with another gas bike and all the track prep that goes with it and have done some track days in NY on a Zero FXS that was a lot of fun. I got a few temperature warnings on the hotter summer days but never went into limp mode. Had a generator and pit power to keep it charged up between sessions which seemed to work fine. Interested to hear any thoughts or experience with an Ultra SM doing track days.
Any idea how it the ultra bee compares to the Nicot eFox? The eFox comes with a 4 speed gear box and a clutch
Is there any power upgrades for the ultra yet? Wish they would sell some easy app tune by a fee to get 15kw-18kw
Hi! The ultra bee have the same belt drive like the x? Or got something?
When you refer to not trusting it being stock. What mods are there ?
Great video, where was it filmed?
I was thinking about getting a Storm Bee but i only intend to ride woods and slower more technical enduro.
I can i magine the Ultra feels more like a big mtb rather than a moto which i would suit me better for play riding.
Thanks for the review. I'm 6'4" & 230 lbs. I think I'm stuck with the Storm Bee as my model just due to size issues haha. I would mostly be using it for mountain trail riding in Utah as well. Agree or disagree?
AGREE go for it
At 6ft. The light Bee would be like a mountain bike with a non adjustable seat. The ultra seems like it will be a good fit. I have a DRZ, so don't really want something that big. Thanks for the lineup!
You'll definitely feel better on the Ultra. And a set of taller bars will go a long way!
Hey, I'm also 6ft and and a DR-Z400 is my main bike. Thanks!
Great review Tucker.
@Michael Anderson 🙌
Is a 72v upgraded light bee faster or much more powerful than the ultra bee? Or are they around the same power wise as I'm unsure wich to get
What's the range on storm bee on an Eco mode if there's one available.
Im really trying to find the purple one which sites have them.
Thanks for another video on the Ultra Bee. Just have a question regarding the top heaviness of the ultra bee compared it's similar sized petrol counterparts like ktm 200exc,150exc, other and other 150cc type 4/2 strokes. How is the weight distributed compared to these bikes?
@Rirrid It's really hard to compare these bikes to ICE bikes in a lot of ways but I currently have a Husqvarna TC125 2 stroke and the Ultra Bee feels much lighter to me!
@@ElectricCycleRider Thank man just what I wanted to hear.
The Ultra Bee looks about the same size/weight as a KTM 85 or YZ 85. I expect the Ultra Bee is also intended for the same-size rider.
I have been riding Light Bee for a year. The problem is the small size. I think Ultra Bee has the best balance. However, it is quite expensive in Japan.
I’m 6’1 220 I don’t know which one to buy I’ve ridden some 125s and 250 which one would you recommend me?
Where at in Colorado is this track
Is there any way you could direct me to collaborate with surron to work on there design projects. I think the storm bee parts should be on a ultra
My Gf Just preordered the Light bee x In That Purple color so she Can ride with me on my Talaria. Can not Wait!! she wanted the Phantom Purple so ETA is April/may
Hey John what’s up brother? Love your content and I love how you talk about your experiences, where you’re going and the history of areas!……. Off topic. Your “about” in your TH-cam bio says you joined in 2019 but I know you have videos goin back at least 6 years, back when you were mountain biking and bmx ‘n, can you explain why it’s only counting 4 years? Thanks John and stay safe my brother! 😊
Any forks off existing bikes that would fit ultra?
I like the little jetson ebike I just got but they could b faster with better tires n battery that last longer but I'm looking into upgrades and for other ebikes as well due to just finding out about these bikes being cool
What's the range that you get on different modes on Ultra Bee?
Love the video!! I'm totally new to the electric MX scene... would you equate the power of the Light Bee to an 85 or 125, the Ultra Bee 250 and the Storm Bee 400? Or perhaps 85, 125 and 250? Or is that just too simplistic a comparison? Just trying to figure out how these bikes compare to their gas powered cousins. (I currently ride a KTM 250 exc) Thanks!
I own the following: (from least fun to most fun) Yamaha XT-250, Surron-x, DRZ-400, WRX-250, KTM XC300W. The surron X is WAY more capable off-road, or on-road than an XT-250, Depending upon the task, Historically I rode the WRX or the DRZ depending upon mission. I now use the Surron or the XC300.
the power on the light bee could best be compared to like a 125 4 stroke (just more snappy). And while i haven't ridden the others i would guess the ultra bee would be like a 2 stroke 125 and the storm bee would probably be some where in the same ball park due to this video saying they are similar in performance.
I hope in the full Ultra Bee reviewed Tucker touches on the traction control. I’ve just read that if you change the wheel size from 19 the traction control is not going to function properly anymore. I’m a fan of traction control on my dirt bike and it seems it would be a great addition to the Ultra Bee so this is an interesting topic I think.
@mattcgtx Thanks. I'll get into traction control in the full review and you heard correctly, swapping the wheel for a different size will not allow for the use of traction control. I imagine there will be a work around in the future.
Thanks for the reply!
Hopefully a work around since I assume Storm Bee has TC with 18/21.
For me just debating whether to go 18/21 or get a good set of 19” wheels to replace stock ones.
Grey review,but I do have a question. It looks like they are sold as off road, in US and Canad. Can you title this, and drive as a daily? This was not answered, even though it was referenced as a style of bike “dual sport”, as a comparison. Just want to ride on road as well.
What mods would you do to the ultra?
Very helpful, thanks, also there are some cheaper bikes as good as ultra or even better with wet clutch!
Hello John, this is the light bee x or s?
Really good video, Great info prior to make my next purchase😊 I was looking at the Ultra but would like to do a bit of streets riding so I am now looking at the light bee x.... but having a KTM300XC I may find the light x too smooth .
Have you try the storm one?
Did they change up their naming scheme? I thought the Light Bee was a lower voltage version and the X was the more popular one. Confusing by Surron if that's the case.
I believe that three models cater all body types, one for each. I prefer the Ultra.
I have the l1e the road version here in Australia i was gonna get light bee but I manly ride on streets.
it will be be comfi for 180cm hight for enduro ride?
Ultra Bee for me as I'm a larger rider. I own an LBX and its too small for my liking but I mostly bought it for my 15 year old. I'm not sure if I want to sell it and get a Talaria Mx4 (2 inches taller + more power) or sell it and get an Ultra Bee since my LBX only has about 200 miles on it and is less than a year old and pretty much mint. What mods would you do on the Ultra to improve it? It seems pretty solid from factory but curious as to your thoughts.
Maybe the main question should be:
How many battery’s do you need for a day of fun?
How many ride hr before the battery drop 80% condition, and then 60% condition.
How much is a battery and how easy are they to get your hands on?
If weight isn’t a concern I’ll take the ultra but the lbx looks like a mountain bike which is a pro if u wanna go every and anywhere without attracting too much attention
@ElectricCycleRider What mods can we expect to see come out for the Ultra Bee? Also, what would you want to mod on the Ultra Bee to get the best performance? ie: wheel size set, battery, controller, suspension
I just ordered my Ultra Bee after building out my Light Bee, and I'm quite excited to get the Ultra Bee build kicked off
@Philip Pinto Great question! We're sorting out parts for the Ultra as we speak and will have options at ECR Parts [ parts.electriccyclerider.com/ ] when they're ready.
In order of importance to me, I'm going to say 21/18 wheel combo, suspension mods/upgrade, and a controller. I don't think the bike needs a ton more power, so it may be possible to utilize the stock battery, but we'll see once we try a controller. It's putting out 12.5kW peak right now and I think 15-18kW would make it amazing.
Trying out the 21/18 wheel combo this coming week and will report on that, with suspension and X9000 controller soon to follow! Should be fun. With those mods, I think the Ultra will be a pretty incredible bike.
@@ElectricCycleRider Awesome! I’m excited to see your reviews on the mods, and can’t wait to get my hands on some as well! Cheers
@@ElectricCycleRider we are working on seat covers, triangles, linkages and headlight conversions as well 😎🤘🏼🤘🏼
Great video.
Does anyone know if you can get the ultra nee heightened ?
as someone that's 5'5 would it be possible for me ride a ultra bee or is it to big
Please do more videos of the Cyclone CS20 from E strapz
I have owned a TRX450 and rode a lot of quad bikes and BMX'ed a little as a kid. I moved into skateboarding and even built an E board but now im in my 30's and trick skating is just too hard on my back. My wallet is fat these days and even my 7 year old E board shocked me with the range and performance so I knew a nice ebike would be stellar. Soooooo my first motorcycle is gonna be an Ultra Bee!!! Im 6'2" 230 lbs So I know that light bee is just gonna be too small for me eventually. Should be here in a few weeks!
Anyone got any tips?
i new to electric how much run time foe each
avg is ok
Thanks for the comparo! I’m torn between the Ultra and Super. I love the idea of the Light Bee, but afraid I’d soon want something more substantial.
Why do you think Surron stayed with 19” front wheel on the Ultra Bee - doesn’t a 21” alway roll over obstacles better?
Would a 21” swap on the front of an Ultra change the geometry too much and slow the steering?
@Bryan Dickerson For sure. It's my assumption that Surron stayed with a 19" because it's the most affordable option and allows them to keep the MSRP low. I'm testing a 21/18 on the Ultra this week and will post about it. I think it will correct the geometry issues that I'm experiencing. I think it currently sits slightly too high in the rear and low in the front and has some nervous tendencies in corners. Hoping the 21" will cure that.
@@ElectricCycleRider That’s cool to think that a 21” on the Ultra might actually be a win-win. I look forward to seeing how that works out!
Can you compare the ultrabee to something like a yz125, kx112, husqvarna 150 etc?
The Surron x fits in my small hatchback 🚗 car 😎🤘
I’m confused…. What about the surron x ? I guess I don’t know all the models ….. Are these older models / model names ? Is surron X newer than the three you profiled ? I’m looking to buy one …. have no clue which one to go with …..
Im seeing this a year later and I’m just getting to see this company. For a start what would be the best Surron to get?
Im confused, doesnt the storm bee smoke the ultra at top end speed?
Did you ever decide to do a motocross up fit to the storm bee?
I ask because I ended up selling my Ultra Bee since it felt small for me. Being 61 200 pounds and chasing my son around now that he is riding the bigger tracks at Glen, Helen and Fox Raceway. I almost need a bigger bike. The days of 50 tracks and being able to easily keep up with him are coming to an end.
I know the stark is available and mine should be here in January if I choose to pull the trigger, but the premium price has me wondering if I should just get some good race suspension under a storm bee
i'm 6'4" and like to send it so i really can't decide between the performance of the Ultra and the size of the Storm. literally stuck in the middle lol
Any wipeouts on what you tested?
I live in CO. What track is this?
is the “max load” essentially the weight limit for these bikes ?
Where is this track? I'm in Colorado and always looking for a place to ride.
Did you get a manufacturers certificate of origin with the ultra bee?
How and where did you get Ultra in US?
Ultra Bee will be my next bike. Are we getting a version with signals, etc? Definitely want to get it plated.
@Michael Evans The US version will not have turn signals but the bike will be set up for it.
Yes, tried the light, too small. I'm 5'10" 165lbs. It seemed like a kids bike. The Storm, imo, is a pig, way too heavy! I bought a Electric Motion Escape and love it at 183lbs. Just ordered the Ultra 187lbs!! , very excited about spec, weight and size, seems perfect. I enjoy super techy rides. Bought a Beta 300 Xtrainer for riding in Moab this second with friends on ktm300s. Just got injured yesterday, sitting out now, sucks!!!! If I had EME there would be no injury. Beta is great, needed the range but EME will crush it when you hit the toughest rock climbs. Hoping the Ultra is a great techy trail bike too.
I had an electric M and really didn’t like it. Surron for me as its so stealthy. Just my 2p’s worth 🙂
@@Ukmongoose3 really? Did like the EM? Which surron do you have/like?
I had an electric bike I bought it for myself BECAUSE I LOST MY left leg and half my foot on right leg because I needed to get around I had it 2weeks and it got stolen on me I get so depressed Now I can afford to buy another one I loved my electric bike and I miss it now I can't get out and I watch yous all the time I love your bikes and maybe some day I might own one again
Can it be plated for street riding???
Wher is this track at?
I'm thinking of waiting for the new stark to come out, nervous about these bikes not being suited to my height and weight
Yeah smart thinking! These Sur Ron’s are OK, but their Chinese bikes at the end of the day. The stark is whole new level!
im impressed with how much air he's getting
To modify and then compare again and your prefer/why buy this that bike! good thoughts!
It’s more of a which one would you actually be able to get
How long will one of these actually last? Like how long until I’d have to replace the battery and how expensive would that be? Seems like just as much as a gas dirt bike for a guaranteed shorter life span.
I still stand by it: the Sur Ron is the most fun bike I have ever ridden. I have a YZ250, WR250R with dirts and supermotos. Rode a FZ-07, Ninja 400, 636, Harley, Grom, Monkey, Buell, CRF450, TTR125, etc.
It’s just a ridiculously fun bike. Quiet enough to do stupid stuff whenever wherever. Still fast enough to blend with traffic and commute.
The Light Bee is so compact and fun. Fits inside a BMW 435i Gran Coupe. It’s light and nimble. Ultra Bee looks solid and it’s lighter than a YZ250.
But the Storm Bee, 280lbs…. No thanks. The WR250 is a lot of work off road and it’s just too heavy for now I enjoy riding. Ultra Bee is a solid winner if you got the cash. OG Sur Ron is gonna be a classic.
Thanks for the info. I'm just concerned the Light Bee, or Ultra Bee is just not as sturdy enough for any faster passed jumping - like a YZ250 on a Vet MX track unless the rider is very light, about 150# or less. I don't know if the 19" wheels are an issue for riders comfortable with the 21/18s?
Can they be driven on the roads/ strees ?
These things look awesome for very specific use cases. For general, I'd still prefer an ICE or a mountain bike.
