Head-to-head
Torp Bike (15kW) vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
Sur-Ron Ultra 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Torp Bike (15kW) Moto - Expert | 70 | $7,900 | 15 kW | 1.8 kWh | expert racers, freestyle/stunt riders |
| 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
- Astonishing power-to-weight — 15 kW peak in a 64 lb bike is unmatched here
- ~30-min fast charge and ~68 mi off-road range from a removable 1.8 kWh pack
- Purpose-built for racing and freestyle/stunt riding
Trade-offs
- Expert-only: 15 kW in a 64 lb bike is a serious handful
- Niche builder with a limited dealer/support footprint
- Premium ~$7,900 for a stripped-down race machine
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
