RIDE REVIEW I 2023 SURRON STORM BEE F
P82
KILLER BEES
IN TENNESSEE !
I
raced the new electric
Surron Storm Bee F at the
most challenging hard en-
duro event in North America—
almost on purpose. In fact,
I wasn't sure they'd let me
race this bike at the Red Bull
Tennessee Knockout, but
I showed up anyway to film
the final episode of SUPER-
HARD Season 1 and figured
something would work out
when I got there.
After all, this was a pre-
production Storm Bee model
without the final production
tweaks, battery specs and
other inclusions that are now
making their way to dealership
floors. This was a demo and
display bike. Heck, we didn't
even know how much the
Storm Bee cost until the day
before I typed this!
At this point, I certainly
wouldn't let me race it if I
worked there. That's for sure.
But, luckily for me, the crew
at Surron thinks I'm much
better at racing dirt bikes
than I am. Their confidence
in me was welcoming. Pos-
sibly foolish, but welcoming.
So, we raced it!
