P120 RIDE REVIEW I 2025 SURRON HYPER BEE RANGE AND CHARGING TIME? We did several range tests, and kids could get up to two hours of riding time before the bike hit the 20 percent battery level. A 165-pound adult riding the Hyper Bee at a fast pace got an hour and 15 minutes of ride time and 15 miles before it hit the 20 percent mark. That 20 percent range is critical because the bike goes into a low-power mode at that point and limits the speed to 18 mph. The reduced top speed and acceleration mean that the real fun is finished, and it is time to head back to put the bike on the charger. The trade-off for that cramped cockpit is nearly two inches more ground clearance. The power is impressive, and the instant torque makes the bike fun, even for adults. Surron claims it will go from zero to 31 mph in 3.6 seconds, which seems valid. As noted before, the throttle modulation is smooth, which helps both beginner and experienced riders control the bike. And when it comes time to slow down or stop, the brake performance is great, and it is also worth mentioning that the levers have adjustable reach. We have loved the reverse option on the Ultra Bee but didn't use it at all with Hyper Bee. riding area and rode the bike for over an hour. If you are a teenager or adult who likes to ride pit bikes, the Hyper Bee can provide a great platform. In stock form, it is faster, lighter, and has far better suspension and brakes than any of the 110 gas-powered pit bikes on the market. The kid-sized 1.02-inch diameter grips feel a little small for adults, but you can certainly ride with them. The op- tional tall shock mount and slid- ing the forks down also provide a taller 27.8-inch seat height that is better for adults, but the distance from the footpegs to the seat is a little tighter than some of those gas-powered 110s, making the bike feel a little more cramped.
