RIDE REVIEW I 2025 SURRON ULTRA BEE HP
The Surron Phenomenon
For those unfamiliar with Surron,
this Chinese company has culti-
vated a cult-like following world-
wide with its Light Bee electric
motorcycle,
introduced in 2018,
which has become the go-to pit
bike. Surron has since expanded
its lineup to include the full-sized
Storm Bee and the original Ultra
Bee in 2023, as well as the new
kid-sized Hyper Bee for 2025.
All Surron motorcycles utilize
electric powerplants and there
-
fore offer several advantages
over
internal combustion op-
tions: they're comparatively
quieter and easier
to maintain,
with no air filters to clean, oil to
change, or fuel to store. This al-
lows for quiet operation in back-
yards and other areas where
noise would be
problematic.
The Goldilocks Factor
In our opinion, the Ultra Bee is
the Goldilocks of the Surron
lineup. It's large enough for
full-sized adults to enjoy, while
adjustable power settings make
it great for beginners. The ab-
sence of a clutch or gears sim-
plifies operation considerably for
new riders.
At 195 pounds, it's
about 50 pounds lighter than a
ready-to-ride 300cc two-stroke
off-road motorcycle and lighter
than most entry-level trail bikes.
As noted in our 2023 Ultra
Bee test, some weight savings
are achieved through a slightly
smaller overall package. The
35.8-inch seat height is approxi
-
mately two inches lower than
that of
most full-size off-road
We are big fans of the Surron Ultra Bee, and the upgraded
2025 model only expands on that. More power, better throttle
modulation and improved suspension amp up the fun.
