Head-to-head
Sur-Ron Storm Bee vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
Sur-Ron Storm Bee leads on current VoltRipper Score, but rider fit, legality, budget, and support still decide the smarter buy.
| Bike | Score | Price | Peak power | Battery | Best fit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sur-Ron Storm Bee Moto - Expert | 89 | $8,999 | 22.5 kW | 5.7 kWh | experienced riders, full-size performance |
| Sur-Ron Ultra Bee Moto - Intermediate | 89 | $6,499 | 24.5 kW | 4.4 kWh | riders stepping up from a Light Bee, bigger/faster trail duty |
What works
- Full-size motorcycle performance — ~75 mph and a huge 5.7 kWh (104V/55Ah) pack
- 0–50 km/h in ~1.9s; genuinely fast, not a bicycle-class bike
- Sur-Ron dealer + parts network behind it
Trade-offs
- Heavy (~280 lb) and fast — an expert bike, not a beginner's
- Halo pricing (~$8.5–9.5k) puts it well above the trail-class field
- Street registration depends on kit + state; off-road-first
What works
- Big 4.4 kWh (74V/60Ah) pack, ~24.5 kW HP listings, and a 59 mph top end — a real step up from the Light Bee
- Full hydraulic discs, DNM suspension, and 2026 wheelie control
- Backed by the largest Sur-Ron dealer + aftermarket network
Trade-offs
- Heavier (~195 lb) and more bike than a beginner needs
- Premium ~$6,500 pricing sits above the trail-class value picks
- Off-road as sold; street use needs a kit and varies by state
