I had the surron for just over a year and really liked the bike. A good price for kit you are getting. But I did find that during the winter months using it to go to work and back I was having water ingress problems. I would get cutouts and stutters. Best to keep the switch gear and battery covered when standing outside.
Its a good looking bike and it really has allot of punch. I just hope that Surron can get the bikes out to the clients so that they can start riding them. Thanks for watching.
The R/S is like the reverse mode that I have seen talked about by another person. push it in and allows the rider to get out of a bind without having to get off the bike and push.
Awesome, thank you for the tip. It does make sense as some times the electric motor can hold the bike back when there is no power. I will have to go and check it out.
@@Andre-Mostert I don't own one so just what I think I heard while watching a video on some of the electric bikes. The person didn't show the button to push but it was located on the handle bar from the sounds of it.
Yes I did spot the button but also did not do a real test with it. I will have to go and check is out when I am at the dealer. Would make sense to have something like that.
Sorry about that, this is all the time I had at that time. I had the option for a quick ride on the bike and thought I would take the camera with to record my findings. Have to try harder next time. Thanks for the feedback.
Yes this was a nice ride. I just hope they start making them more and bring them more to market. I also hope that they can bring the price down a bit as its double what the Light Bee is. Thanks for the comment.
@@Andre-Mostert yeah I have the light bee. Idk if I'd just be better off modding it to a 72vbac4000 for quite a bit less or just selling it and saving for a storm bee. Hard choice 😅
I think with the amount of updates you can do to the light bee and the low cost of running its going to be hard to beat. The Storm is the price of a full size bike.
Yes I really enjoyed it for the short time I spent on it. I wish they would get more of them out to clients as it feels like a solid bike. Enjoy and where did you get your from?
The bike is the one in you're video so you know where it came from was out on it in for nearly 2-hours and still 50% doing green laning one of the best bikes I have
I did not record the whole ride otherwise it would have been too long and boring. But the stock tyre did feel good for the short time I was on the bike. When I bought my BMW Scrambler and went out on some knobby tyres I felt it instantly that is was not to be leaning around any corners. But point taken. Thank you for watching and the comment its much appreciated. The bike has some really nice punch. Think the range might be a problem for some people.
I own a Sur Ron X and very much enjoy it. My problem with the Storm is that it weighs within 10lbs of my KTM 525 EXC. Because of the weight and seat height, my Sur Ron X is much more fun to ride around camp and in the woods.
you're comparing apples to oranges - you should be comparing the Storm to your KTM - the Sur Ron X is like a kids bike the Storm and Ktm are dirt bikes for big boys and girls
I would also add to that. This was the reason I bought the Light Bee over a bigger bike is that its so small and so much more fun for get up and go. On the Storm its full bike size. The Light Bee is more awesome e-MTB or trails bike. Allot of power but its also a good bit of money.
I think there are a massive wait on this one as Surron is focusing on the Light Bee and this one is at most of the sites on pre-order with no fixed idea of delivery times. This also with the shortages can be a bit of time. But then they can also fine tune the bike while we wait. Thanks for watching
Thx for the detailed video. Do you know if they will have an MX version that is similar to the performance of an Alta? The bike as is would not be able to handle a standard MX track. At best, trails and enduro type riding similar to the KTM eXC Freeride.
As far I understand from the speaking to the dealer is that they want to get this model out first and see how it does then looks at the full offroad version. Sort of the same they did with the SurRon light bee. You get the road and offroad version. But as you say more enduro and trails
feedback from the dealer and they checked it for me. Stag Motorcycles • 2 months ago We thought the same when we first had the bike, but rotation is correct.
Really good video I am weighing up this or the zero ds 14.4 which has a lot more range but is very heavy...any thoughts on which one? I can get the Storm for £5.5k and the DS for just over £7k for but it has 13k miles on it, really torn??!
Oh man, this video is just a quick ride really to get a feel for the bike. I had the DSR and like the bike but it was for me too a basic bike for the money at that time. The Zero bikes are much more grown up and has all the bits to make sure it can handle everything the road and weather can throw at it where the Storm and the Surron struggle a bit with weatherproofing, well at least here in the UK. If you can get a DS with the charge tank option then you have a great bike to give you solid miles and faster charging. I sold the DSR just because it had the slow charging and the range was just not good enough for my riding. The charge tank option is the key to get that 30min top up to get going again. The Storm Bee is more for a trail bike where you drop this on the trailer and drive to a location. Ride and have fun and drop it back on the trailer and lug it home. The range is also very little compared to the DS. Hope this helps.
Now that there's a huge modding scene for the Light Bee, with bikes more than doubling in power and perfornance, does that also apply to the Storm ? Can see it being a decent supermoto.
Yes the light bee's are running away with all the hop ups you can get. I think this is also the reason they have not had the time to focus on this model and try to bring it to market. Its a nice bike and it rides like a small supermoto. I think the only thing that is going to get the clients to wait is the range. But then again if you going to use it on a track and you have a trailer then its spot on.
As far I understand they are coming in drips and drabs as they are focusing more on the Light Bee. We here in the UK are not seeing them anytime soon from what I understand. If I were you contact SurRon in the US and check with them. They might have some updated information and it might be different your side. Try them lunacycle.com/
The problem they have at the moment is that they not getting started with building them as they are focusing more on the Surron Light Bee bikes. Also all thee stuff from China is taking so long to get anywhere. But there should be a Surron US dealer that can help with more upto date delivery times.
In fact, I pay a heavy sum of 10 thousand dollars for a Chinese-made bike!! It is very crazy for this amount to buy a Yamaha YZ450 bike with shipping to Saudi Arabia
yz is great bike (i have older one, 426) but both bikes drives sooo differently. EV's has all advantages in bottom range of power (awesome for hillclimbs without changing sprockets or custom gearboxes) while YZ is killer in mid-high range. i'll buy one of those storm bees as soon as they hit 2nd hand market -
I think allot of people is going to want to get something else out of the bike. I am not a MX rider and dont know how much a trimmed down MX 250 or 125cc weight but looking at it from the other side its a massive step up from the Liight Bee and it feels so light and manageable for me that is 178cm tall. I think it might also be geared towards guys that want to put this on a trailer and go to a track and just have fun. The range is not for long days in the saddle. I think if I had access to some backyard green lanes where I can get 2-3 hours into forest trails that would be awesome. Thanks for the comment.
From what I can see is I dont think so. The bike kicks out 22.5kW stagmotorcycles.co.uk/pages/sur-ron-storm Aged 16 or over with completed CBT Can ride with L plates - moped or scooter up to 50cc - max speed 45 km/h Aged 17 or over with completed CBT Can ride with L plates - light motorcycle up to 125 cc (11kW max)
This is the stock blinkers that comes with the bike here in the UK if you buy it for road use. Ping a mail over to stagmotorcycles.co.uk/ to see if they can help with options.
I am 75KG and I found it easy to push forward and move it around the parking lot. So I would say 7 if 10 was the easiest. You thinking that the motor will put allot of drag when you pushing it? Interesting. My SurRon Light bee was also easy to push around. I hope I am understanding this. Thanks for the comment.
The electric power of these bikes are where they shine. I had a Zero DSR and its very much the same feel when delivering the power. It does not have the same amount of power as the DSR but the electric deliver the same off the line punch. The kicker with the electric bikes currently is the range and the not too fast charging. If you live close to an area you can go out and ride then this is spot on or if you have a bike trailer where you can trailer the bike too it would be good. But if you dont have that and you need to ride to your trail you might find the range too short. I think the 450's would be faster and my Street Triple R is also a bit more all round power. This Storm Bee tops out at 70mph where the other bikes can go more. Not the same punch off the line compare to the electric bikes. Hope this makes sense and helps. Thanks for watching.
Makes a lot of sense. I am just in a dilemma to pick one up of just get a WR450F. I used to have a WR motard which I rode everywhere pretty much (80% road 20% dirt) before it got stolen and I loved the thing. I thought getting the Storm was gonna be a more future proof option especially seeing that it doesn't need oil changes/valve adjustments etc. You are right about the range though, it's a tough situation to be in 😅
This is super true. But for me the kicker is the range. If the electric bikes can up the range and also include in the price a fast charger then I will be back. They still have a bit of work to do with the price too. Good luck and that WR450F is a very nice machine. If anything goes wrong you can get some spares and support on that Yamaha.
This bike is a full size MX bike and can go to just over 70mph. Is more a full size bike than a Surron Light bee that is more an e-MTB style bike. Hope that makes sense. The range is about 30 miles at high speed.
The quote 60miles range @30mph but that does not really work in day to do riding. The bike is more of a back of a trailer, go to the track and ride for 2 hours. Plug in or boost charge it for another few laps. They quote a 4 hour charge time but I did not get time to test that. If that is the case then its doable at the track. Range - City 60 miles Range - Highway 35 miles Time to full charge - about 4 hours Hope this helps.
This is more an bike that you drop on a trailer and take to the trails. The range is not that long and you need to be sure to have a place to charge if you do on longer rides. Thanks for the comment.
From what I understand it is A1/CBT complaint. Check out this website with more information. www.sparkmotos.co.uk/electric-dirt-bikes/sur-ron-storm Awesome powerful bike that rides like a full size MX bike.
That looks like a lot of exposed wires and connectors. I've a Light Bee and I'm having lots of problems with water in the electrics, so this looks like a nightmare if if gets wet.
Yes this is the problem with the bikes, they are awesome but the UK weather really needs some good solid weatherproofing. I covered the top of my light bee with a tesco bag when it was standing at the office in the rain for the whole day. Just to get around the water ingress problem I had. But when its dry they are awesome. We can only hope that they design the bikes with better weatherproofing. Thanks for the comment.
This is currently the only build available and from what I understand but there will be a road and offroad version available when they can start getting the bikes out to clients. From what I understand they are also suffering from the global shortages. I just hope we can start seeing more of them.
@@Ace01010 From what I could find out it looks like around £8000. But that might also change if they start getting it out to clients some or other time. Most of the places has this on pre-order only. Hope this helps
So far I only know of two of them. One that Stag Motorcycles has and another private unit. They are all waiting on this to go into mass production. It should have been up and running already but with all the delays and them focusing on getting the Surron Light Bee out I think we have to wait. If I hear anything I will update.
YZ 125 weighs less and has more power. Probably cost less too. Husqvarna makes an awesome electric motocross bike and Kawasaki has announced they will too. Why buy a no name newcomber with no proven track record. You think that thing can hold a candle to Yamaha and Kawasaki on a track with all their decades of suspension development? Be one thing if the surron was $2000 or something but it’s not. Pass..
What you are saying is so true. It needs to come in at a really good price for people to spend that much money. Also as you say if the main brands step it up you know where clients are going to go if they want spare, repairs and so on. The bikes need to come down in price and they need to be well sorted to compare if the bigger brands starts getting into electric bikes. Thanks for the comment.
Sur Ron has been making these electric bikes for like 5 years or more with very good success. This is just an iteration from their previous lower caliber electric bikes that are $4,199. Did you know of the Alta Motorsports brand of street/moto/trail that went out of business located in California due to mismanagement of funds and likely California sky-high taxes. Their electric bikes, their branded full motocross bike competed with 2 stroke 250cc and 450cc gas machines but was a better fit for the 250cc motocross bikes as far as out-right whp. One of the pro motocross riders in 2019 competed with the Alta in the RedBull Straight Rythmn event and got to the finals. The electric Alta motocross bike cost about $11,000 USD and the prices would have come down in time if they had/were able to stay in business. th-cam.com/video/ViHaPiTsMvI/w-d-xo.html
Wow watched that video and man that bike has some awesome power. Looks also like its got much more oomph than the Storm. But then you would need to compare this two bikes on the same sort of track. They have the right idea I just wish they would hurry up and start making them and get them into the hand of guys like that. Would be awesome for the brand. Thanks for the pointers.
@@Andre-Mostert That guy AJ Catanzaro inn that video is a AMA Pro USA motocross rider that races pro outdoor motocross and indoor supercross 250/450 class. His claims are to be taken seriously! Here's another AMA pro motocross rider that is faster than 97% of the world on a dirtbike taking the Alta MXR brand electric bike to the Redbull Straight Rythum competition in California. th-cam.com/video/CTmuawNFp8Q/w-d-xo.html
Also, the Alta Redshift MXR electric bike that could be bought by the average person in 2018-19 in the USA was up against full factory racing machines From Team Honda/team Kawasaki, team KTM costing upwards of 50,000 USD which include performance parts people can't even get their hands on unless the factory pro rider.
As far I understand its going to be around £8500. But it looks like they are having trouble with deciding what they want to focus on. This Storm Bee or the Light Bee. From what I have seen its the Light Bee that is getting all the production line attention. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
Too be honest I would agree. If I am going to drop that amount of money I might as well go to a brand that has sold support and some solid warranty. But then again for that money you can get a petrol bike that can do so much more. All depends what you want to use it for.
I don’t understand why people spend so much on electric bikes the tech isn’t even there yet you’d get 30miles range weighed 220lbs unless your a child or a women then you’d probably get 60miles and even then you have to wait 4hours to charge no thanks Petrol bikes are way way cheaper and take 2 seconds to fill and your ready to go
This is so true, but the tech is moving forward just at a slower pace. For this one it would be great for someone that lives close to a track and want to have fun on a electric bike with loads of punch of the line. Compared to say me that does not stay close to a track or any place to ride it. Does not make sense to me but there are loads of people out there that it can work for and they have the cash to spend on it. But they have some work ahead. Thanks for the comment.
Cheers for the feedback. Think they went with the yellow as the reference of the bee. Surron Light Bee and Surron Storm Bee. Would be good to offer allot of color choices.
Many thanks for the feedback and comment Doug. Much appreciated. If they can get this bike out the door and into the hands of riders it would be good. But some will be put off by the range and some will just want it to do the short blasts.
Beautiful bike man, I wish I had a surron
I had the surron for just over a year and really liked the bike. A good price for kit you are getting. But I did find that during the winter months using it to go to work and back I was having water ingress problems. I would get cutouts and stutters. Best to keep the switch gear and battery covered when standing outside.
@@Andre-Mostert yeah I wouldn't ride in the rain at all
But the more they listen to the riders the more they are going to start making sure the bikes can handle some wet weather. Well we can only hope
I think im in luv! 😍 Most likely gonna be my first ever super moto ;)
Its a good looking bike and it really has allot of punch. I just hope that Surron can get the bikes out to the clients so that they can start riding them. Thanks for watching.

As far as I understand this one is going to be about double the price of the smaller Surron Light Bee. So I assume around £7500 or around there.
Is the bike available with slicker road tires?
Hi Pete, I think it comes only with one model of tyre for the first lot. They might change this when they start getting the bikes out the door.
Can you run this bike on the road after just doing a cbt?

Does it come with pedals? What is the range at max speed?
This bike is a full size MX bike and can go to just over 70mph. Is more a full size bike than a Surron Light bee that is more an e-MTB style bike. Hope that makes sense. The range is about 30 miles at high speed.
@@Andre-Mostert So, if I understand you, no pedals for this full size bike? Thx
If you mean pedals like a cycling bike then no. If you mean pedals like a motorbike then yes. Hope this helps.
Why the fuck would an electric motorcycle have pedals you moron!? Would you ask if a petrol motorcycle has pedals!?
What is the range on the full charge mate and how long it takes to fully charge?
The quote 60miles range @30mph but that does not really work in day to do riding. The bike is more of a back of a trailer, go to the track and ride for 2 hours. Plug in or boost charge it for another few laps. They quote a 4 hour charge time but I did not get time to test that. If that is the case then its doable at the track.
Range - City 60 miles
Range - Highway 35 miles
Time to full charge - about 4 hours
Hope this helps.
6:20 yeah that front tyres on the wrong way around,
Cool I did speak to them to check it out. I will check in with him again tomorrow to find out.
We thought the same when we first had the bike, but rotation is correct.
Thank you for confirming Steve. Have a good day.
שלום
למה לא קבלתי את האופנוע שקניתי ....אם רגליות לרוכב מאחור...
וגם קשה להשיג את זה... 2:46 2:48
This is more an bike that you drop on a trailer and take to the trails. The range is not that long and you need to be sure to have a place to charge if you do on longer rides. Thanks for the comment.
Surron Storm Bee
זה האופנוע שקניתי...
אני מחפש רגליות לרוכב מאחור....
אני לא נוסע בשטח...רק בכביש
איך אני יכול להשיג....
אפשר בבקשה אם יש לך את המייל של החברה...
Aaah now I get it. Try and mail the guys at Stagmotorcycles in the UK.stagmotorcycles.co.uk/
Good luck.
Can you take the key out because I order mine and I have to go to my school with it.
Yes normal key like a motorbike.
Beautiful landscape. Where is this at?
This is just outside of Newbury west of London. Really nice country side. Thanks for the comment.
Is this ok to ride on a cbt or do you need full bike license? Thanks for video
From what I understand it is A1/CBT complaint. Check out this website with more information.

Awesome powerful bike that rides like a full size MX bike.
Nice one cheers !!
هل قوته نفس ياماها الصحراوي ١٢٥ سي سي
The power is more like a 250cc as far I understand. Its also loads of power off the mark as there is no engine spin up or gear. Twist and go.
That looks like a lot of exposed wires and connectors. I've a Light Bee and I'm having lots of problems with water in the electrics, so this looks like a nightmare if if gets wet.
Yes this is the problem with the bikes, they are awesome but the UK weather really needs some good solid weatherproofing. I covered the top of my light bee with a tesco bag when it was standing at the office in the rain for the whole day. Just to get around the water ingress problem I had. But when its dry they are awesome. We can only hope that they design the bikes with better weatherproofing. Thanks for the comment.
Will there be a Supermoto version available and how much will it cost here in UK.?
This is currently the only build available and from what I understand but there will be a road and offroad version available when they can start getting the bikes out to clients. From what I understand they are also suffering from the global shortages. I just hope we can start seeing more of them.
@@Andre-Mostert Do you know of a price tho?
@@Ace01010 From what I could find out it looks like around £8000. But that might also change if they start getting it out to clients some or other time. Most of the places has this on pre-order only. Hope this helps
@@Andre-Mostert Blessings! Thank you.
@@Ace01010 No problem at all.
When in uk mate
So far I only know of two of them. One that Stag Motorcycles has and another private unit. They are all waiting on this to go into mass production. It should have been up and running already but with all the delays and them focusing on getting the Surron Light Bee out I think we have to wait. If I hear anything I will update.
How much is it now?
This one here in the UK is going for anything from £8000 to £9000. Most of the guys and dealer are still waiting on stock to come through.
@@Andre-Mostert How much is a dollar?
We have its price in the Arab Mashreq, the State of Oman, at $9,700
Yes not cheap.
Ціна цього краунця?
I tried to drop this into google translate but could not make sense of it. Can you please repeat. Keep well.
YZ 125 weighs less and has more power. Probably cost less too. Husqvarna makes an awesome electric motocross bike and Kawasaki has announced they will too. Why buy a no name newcomber with no proven track record. You think that thing can hold a candle to Yamaha and Kawasaki on a track with all their decades of suspension development? Be one thing if the surron was $2000 or something but it’s not. Pass..
What you are saying is so true. It needs to come in at a really good price for people to spend that much money. Also as you say if the main brands step it up you know where clients are going to go if they want spare, repairs and so on. The bikes need to come down in price and they need to be well sorted to compare if the bigger brands starts getting into electric bikes. Thanks for the comment.
Sur Ron has been making these electric bikes for like 5 years or more with very good success. This is just an iteration from their previous lower caliber electric bikes that are $4,199. Did you know of the Alta Motorsports brand of street/moto/trail that went out of business located in California due to mismanagement of funds and likely California sky-high taxes. Their electric bikes, their branded full motocross bike competed with 2 stroke 250cc and 450cc gas machines but was a better fit for the 250cc motocross bikes as far as out-right whp. One of the pro motocross riders in 2019 competed with the Alta in the RedBull Straight Rythmn event and got to the finals. The electric Alta motocross bike cost about $11,000 USD and the prices would have come down in time if they had/were able to stay in business. th-cam.com/video/ViHaPiTsMvI/w-d-xo.html
Wow watched that video and man that bike has some awesome power. Looks also like its got much more oomph than the Storm. But then you would need to compare this two bikes on the same sort of track. They have the right idea I just wish they would hurry up and start making them and get them into the hand of guys like that. Would be awesome for the brand. Thanks for the pointers.
@@Andre-Mostert That guy AJ Catanzaro inn that video is a AMA Pro USA motocross rider that races pro outdoor motocross and indoor supercross 250/450 class. His claims are to be taken seriously! Here's another AMA pro motocross rider that is faster than 97% of the world on a dirtbike taking the Alta MXR brand electric bike to the Redbull Straight Rythum competition in California. th-cam.com/video/CTmuawNFp8Q/w-d-xo.html
Also, the Alta Redshift MXR electric bike that could be bought by the average person in 2018-19 in the USA was up against full factory racing machines From Team Honda/team Kawasaki, team KTM costing upwards of 50,000 USD which include performance parts people can't even get their hands on unless the factory pro rider.
What’s the cost ?
As far I understand its going to be around £8500. But it looks like they are having trouble with deciding what they want to focus on. This Storm Bee or the Light Bee. From what I have seen its the Light Bee that is getting all the production line attention. Hope that helps and thanks for watching.
@@Andre-Mostert I’d sooner have the KTM free ride at that price point!
Too be honest I would agree. If I am going to drop that amount of money I might as well go to a brand that has sold support and some solid warranty. But then again for that money you can get a petrol bike that can do so much more. All depends what you want to use it for.
@@windowtintinguk Oh man that is true and they do look really nice too.
I don’t understand why people spend so much on electric bikes the tech isn’t even there yet you’d get 30miles range weighed 220lbs unless your a child or a women then you’d probably get 60miles and even then you have to wait 4hours to charge no thanks Petrol bikes are way way cheaper and take 2 seconds to fill and your ready to go
This is so true, but the tech is moving forward just at a slower pace. For this one it would be great for someone that lives close to a track and want to have fun on a electric bike with loads of punch of the line. Compared to say me that does not stay close to a track or any place to ride it. Does not make sense to me but there are loads of people out there that it can work for and they have the cash to spend on it. But they have some work ahead. Thanks for the comment.
Front tire seems to be installed in the wrong direction... lol
Thats not good. I will let the Stag know to check it out. If it is then well spotted and thank you for watching.
We did check when we got the bike as we thought the same, but it is correct according to the rotation marking on the tyre.
Thank you for confirming the tyre rotation.
Yellow sux but otherwise cool looking
Cheers for the feedback. Think they went with the yellow as the reference of the bee. Surron Light Bee and Surron Storm Bee. Would be good to offer allot of color choices.
Great video thank you for sharing
Many thanks for the feedback and comment Doug. Much appreciated. If they can get this bike out the door and into the hands of riders it would be good. But some will be put off by the range and some will just want it to do the short blasts.
Storm Bee?? Dumb name…
Light bee for the small one and storm bee for the bigger one. Good looking bike they just need to sort out a bit more range and faster charging.
