Surron Lineup Review: Hyper Bee vs Ultra Bee HP Specs

The electric dirt bike market is crowded, but Surron continues to dominate. The leaked 2025 specifications reveal a massive shift in their strategy: they aren’t just making bikes faster; they are making them lighter and smarter.

From the featherweight Hyper Bee to the torque-monster Ultra Bee HP, the 2025 lineup covers every type of rider. But with the new Light Bee Europe L1e-B controller recall making headlines, buyers need to know exactly what they are getting into.

Below, we break down the raw data to help you decide which model fits your riding style, weight, and budget.

1. The New Entry-Level King: Surron Hyper Bee

Best For: Beginners, Teenagers, and Technical Trail Practice

The Hyper Bee is a game-changer for riders who find standard e-bikes too heavy. Weighing in at just 38 kg (83 lbs), this is one of the lightest electric trail bikes ever made.

Despite its size, it packs a 5000W peak power output. For comparison, many “full-size” e-bikes only push 3000W. This high power-to-weight ratio makes it incredibly snappy.

• Top Speed: 50 km/h (31 mph)
• Range: 50km (WMTC @ 40km/h)
• Torque: 159 Nm
• Battery: 50.4V 25Ah (Removable)

Pro Tip: If you are a smaller rider or looking for a “pit bike” that fits in the back of a sedan, the Hyper Bee is the undisputed winner.

2. The Classic Upgraded: 2025 Light Bee X & L1e

Best For: The All-Rounder & City Commuters

The Light Bee X is the bike that started the revolution, and the 2025 specs show it has matured. It now pushes 8000W peak power, a significant jump from older models.

However, buyers need to be aware of the two distinct versions:

1. Light Bee X (Off-Road): The performance version. It hits 75 km/h and weighs only 57 kg.
2. Light Bee L1e (Street Legal): This is restricted for road use. It has a lower rated power (2040W) and a top speed capped at 45 km/h to meet moped regulations.

Important Safety Note: Surron has issued a controller replacement programme for the Light Bee Europe L1e-B version due to a potential hacking risk. If you are buying used or old stock, ensure this recall has been performed.

3. The Heavy Hitter: 2025 Ultra Bee HP (High Performance)

Best For: Heavy Riders, Hill Climbers, and Speed Freaks

This is the star of the 2025 show. If you are a heavy rider (200 lbs+), the Light Bee might feel too small. The Ultra Bee HP is the answer.

The specs are terrifyingly good. It produces 511 N · m of torque. To put that in perspective, most 1000cc gas motorcycles don’t produce that much torque at the wheel. This allows the Ultra Bee HP to climb vertical walls and carry heavier riders without losing speed.

• Top Speed: 98 km/h (60 mph)
• Range: 115 km (71 miles)
• Battery: 74V 60Ah (High-Performance Li-ion)
• Charge Time: 2.5 Hours (20-80%)

It also features SRTC (Surron Traction Control), which is essential when you have this much torque on loose dirt.

Verdict: Which One Should You Buy?

• Buy the Light Bee X if you want the classic “Surron” experience—fast, modifiable, and proven.
• Buy the Ultra Bee HP if you are a heavy rider or need highway-capable speeds. With 511 N · m of torque and a 74V 60Ah battery, this is the only option for serious long-distance enduro riding.
