Sur-Ron Electric Dirt Bikes
The 2026 Lineup, Explained
Four bikes carry the Sur-Ron badge right now, and they are not trim levels of the same machine. Peak power runs from 8 kW on the Hyper Bee to 24.5 kW on the Ultra Bee.
Sur-Ron sells four electric dirt bikes in 2026: the Hyper Bee, the Light Bee X, the Ultra Bee and the Storm Bee. Peak power runs from 8 kW to 24.5 kW, and the packs run from 58V to 104V. The only price we can tie to a source we trust is $6,399 for the Ultra Bee HP SW at Voro Motors. Sur-Ron does not publish US pricing, and dealer quotes for the same bike differ by thousands. None of these bikes meet the federal definition of an electric bicycle, so in most of the country they are off highway vehicles rather than something you register and ride to work.

How the Sur-Ron Lineup Breaks Down
Sur-Ron builds one kind of bike and builds it in four sizes. Every model is a lightweight electric off road machine with a mid mounted motor, a removable battery and no pedals. What changes across the range is how much of everything you get.
The Hyper Bee sits at the bottom at 8 kW. The Light Bee X is the middle, and it is the bike that built the brand. The Ultra Bee is the fast one most adults end up on. The Storm Bee is a full size dirt bike that happens to be electric, and it weighs what a full size dirt bike weighs.
One model left. Sur-Ron discontinued the Light Bee S in 2025 and the Hyper Bee replaced it. A new Light Bee S listed in 2026 is old stock.
Ultra Bee: The One We Have Numbers On
The Ultra Bee is the Sur-Ron we have our own numbers on. We track the Ultra Bee HP SW in the RiderGuide spec database and last verified it on September 6, 2026.
It runs a 24.5 kW peak motor and a 74V 60Ah pack, which works out to 4,440 watt hours. That is a lot of battery on a bike that weighs 195 pounds. Voro Motors claims 87 miles at a steady 25 mph, which is a cruising figure rather than anything you will see riding hard.
One detail gets missed, and it matters. The bike is capable of 59 mph, but the listing says it ships with a 20 mph governed top speed. In practice that restriction is how these bikes get sold and shipped. It is not a ceiling on what the hardware does.
At $6,399, down from a $6,899 list, this is the only Sur-Ron price in this guide we can point at a source for.
Light Bee X: The Bike Everyone Pictures
The Light Bee X made Sur-Ron a household name in the off road world, and it is still what most people mean when they say they want a Sur-Ron.
For 2026 it got a real update. The pack moved from 60V 40Ah to 72V 35Ah, and peak power went to 10 kW, up from 8 kW on the 2025 bike. Sur-Ron Canada lists the 2026 bike at about 130 pounds.
We are leaving the top speed out of the table on purpose. Wikipedia’s Sur-Ron model table lists the Light Bee X at 46 mph. Sur-Ron Canada lists the 2026 bike at 50 mph. Two sources that both trace back to the manufacturer disagree, so we are not going to pick one and print it as fact. On the power and the pack, both sources agree.
Storm Bee: The Full Size One
The Storm Bee stops looking like a big bicycle and starts looking like a dirt bike. Full size wheels, a 21 inch front and an 18 inch rear, with real suspension under it.
Sur-Ron lists 22.5 kW of maximum motor power, a 104V 55Ah removable pack and a top speed of 68.3 mph. Claimed range is 74.5 miles at 31 mph, and a 20 to 80 percent charge takes about four hours.
Weight is where it gets odd. Sur-Ron’s own spec sheet prints the curb weight as 209/279 pounds, two numbers with a slash and no explanation of which is which. We are printing it the way they publish it instead of guessing which one is the ready to ride figure.
Hyper Bee: The Small One
The Hyper Bee is the small one, and it exists because the Light Bee S went away in 2025.
For 2026 it makes 8 kW of peak power, up from 5 kW the year before, on a 58V 22Ah pack, with a listed top speed of 40 mph. Sur-Ron UK, the official importer, puts the kerb weight at 39 kg, about 86 pounds, and claims up to 35 miles at 25 mph.
For scale, the Light Bee S it replaced was a 3.5 kW bike that topped out at 31 mph on a 48V pack. The small Sur-Ron got a lot quicker when it changed names.
Sur-Ron Models Compared
Here is the lineup side by side. The gaps are deliberate. Where we could not verify a number against a source we trust, we left it out instead of repeating a dealer’s marketing.
| Model | Peak power | Top speed | Battery | Weight | Price |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sur-Ron Ultra Bee HP SW | 24.5 kW | 59 mph (ships governed to 20 mph) | 74V 60Ah (4,440 Wh) | 195 lb | $6,399 |
| Sur-Ron Light Bee X (2026) | 10 kW | Not confirmed, see notes | 72V 35Ah | About 130 lb | Dealer pricing varies |
| Sur-Ron Storm Bee | 22.5 kW | 68.3 mph | 104V 55Ah | 209/279 lb as published | Dealer pricing varies |
| Sur-Ron Hyper Bee (2026) | 8 kW | 40 mph | 58V 22Ah | 39 kg (about 86 lb) | Dealer pricing varies |
| Sur-Ron Light Bee S | Discontinued 2025 | Discontinued 2025 | 48V 20Ah | Not published | Discontinued 2025 |
You will notice one price in that table. That is not laziness.
Sur-Ron does not publish US pricing on its own site, and the dealer network quotes the same bike at very different numbers. We found Light Bee X listings spread across roughly $3,899 to $5,500, and Ultra Bee listings from about $6,499 to $8,000. Printing a single MSRP would mean picking one dealer and calling it the truth.
The Ultra Bee HP SW is the exception because two sources we already rely on agree on it. Our own verified Ride Finder entry says $6,399, and so does the Voro Motors product page.
Are Sur-Rons Street Legal?
The short answer is no, and the reason is federal rather than local.
Under 15 U.S.C. 2085, a low speed electric bicycle needs fully operable pedals, a motor under 750 watts, and a motor only top speed under 20 mph. A Sur-Ron misses all three by a wide margin. It is not an e-bike in the eyes of the law, whatever the listing calls it.
What it is instead is an off highway vehicle. California’s DMV puts electric motorcycles on its list of OHVs, which carry an ID plate or placard from the DMV rather than a license plate. That ID expires on June 30 of the second calendar year after it is issued, and registering one means a REG 343 application plus a REG 31 vehicle verification. California is explicit that OHVs are for use off public roads, on land open to the public.
The US Forest Service says it plainly and names the brand while doing it. Electric motorcycles such as those made by Sur-Ron, Talaria, Segway and E Ride Pro count as off highway vehicles rather than electric bikes or mopeds, and they must be registered with a CA Green Sticker through the DMV.
Rules change at every state line, and some states title these bikes differently. Riding on private property with the owner’s permission is usually the one clear exception. Before you buy, read our full breakdown of whether electric dirt bikes are street legal, and check how these machines compare in our guide to mopeds, e-bikes and motorcycles.
Sur-Ron FAQ
Is a Sur-Ron street legal?
Not as it comes. A Sur-Ron fails all three parts of the federal low speed electric bicycle test in 15 U.S.C. 2085. It has no functional pedals, its motor is far over 750 watts, and it goes well past 20 mph on motor power alone. That makes it an off highway vehicle in most of the country. California treats electric motorcycles as OHVs that need an ID plate or placard from the DMV and are meant for use off public roads. The US Forest Service names Sur-Ron directly, saying these machines are off highway vehicles rather than electric bikes or mopeds and must carry a CA Green Sticker. Riding on private property with permission is the usual exception.
How fast is a Sur-Ron?
It depends which one. Sur-Ron lists the Storm Bee at 68.3 mph, and it is the fastest bike in the range. The Ultra Bee is capable of 59 mph, though the Ultra Bee HP SW listing says it ships governed to 20 mph. The Hyper Bee is listed at 40 mph. We are not printing a Light Bee X top speed, because two manufacturer linked sources disagree, one saying 46 mph and the other 50 mph.
How much is a Sur-Ron?
The only figure we can verify is $6,399 for the Ultra Bee HP SW at Voro Motors, down from a $6,899 list. Sur-Ron does not publish US prices on its own site, and dealers quote the same bikes very differently. We saw Light Bee X listings from roughly $3,899 to $5,500 and Ultra Bee listings from about $6,499 to $8,000, so treat any single quoted MSRP as that one dealer’s price.
Can a Sur-Ron go 70 mph?
No, not on the published numbers. The fastest bike Sur-Ron sells is the Storm Bee, and the company lists it at 68.3 mph. Everything else in the lineup is slower, with the Ultra Bee at 59 mph and the Hyper Bee at 40 mph. Modified bikes are a different conversation, and one with real safety and warranty consequences.
Which Sur-Ron should I buy?
Match the bike to the rider rather than to the spec sheet. The Hyper Bee at 8 kW and 39 kg suits smaller or newer riders. The Light Bee X sits in the middle of the range and is the easiest to get parts for. The Ultra Bee is where most adults land, with 24.5 kW and a 4,440 watt hour pack. The Storm Bee is a full size dirt bike, and at a published 209 to 279 pounds it asks a lot more of you than the others do.
Bottom Line
Sur-Ron built this category and the 2026 range is the clearest it has been. Four bikes, four sizes, with a real step up between each one.
Pricing is the frustrating part. A brand this size should publish what its bikes cost in the US, and it does not, which leaves buyers comparing dealer quotes that differ by thousands on the same machine.
If you want the one we have verified, it is the Ultra Bee HP SW at $6,399. Whichever you pick, budget for gear and a legal place to ride it.
More before you decide: our tested picks for the best electric dirt bikes, our size by size guide to the best electric motorcycles, and how we test.
Ride Safe: Always wear appropriate safety gear and ride within your abilities. Off highway vehicle rules, registration requirements and where you can legally ride vary by location. Check and follow your local laws before riding.
