The Surron Ultra Bee is the full-size electric trail bike that finally gave Surron riders something bigger than the Light Bee. If you’re over 175 cm, carry a bit more weight, or simply want more range and suspension, the Surron Ultra Bee is usually the next step. This guide covers every version sold in Australia, what the numbers mean on the trail, and how to choose between them.
We’ll walk through the standard model, the more powerful HP, the difference between the R and T, road registration, running costs, upgrades and the questions we get asked most in the shop. Prices and specs are current at the time of writing (September 2026), but always confirm the latest details before you buy.
What is the Surron Ultra Bee?
The Surron Ultra Bee is a mid-weight electric dirt bike made by Surron, the Chinese brand behind the hugely popular Light Bee X. Where the Light Bee is closer to a mountain bike with a motor, the Ultra Bee is built like a proper motorcycle: 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, long-travel suspension and a much bigger 74V battery.
That extra size changes who it suits. Taller and heavier adults who feel cramped on a Light Bee usually find the Surron Ultra Bee roomier and more planted at speed. It still weighs far less than a typical 250cc petrol trail bike, so it stays easy to pick up, push through tight singletrack and load onto a trailer.
In Australia, Surron bikes are imported by the official distributor, Mojo Motorcycles, and sold through a network of dealers with a 12-month warranty. You can read the distributor’s model overview on the official Surron Australia Ultra Bee page.
You’ll see this bike written several ways: Sur-Ron Ultra Bee, Sur Ron Ultra Bee, Surron UltraBee, Ultra Bee Surron and even Suron Ultra Bee. They’re all the same machine, and everything in this guide applies to every Surron Ultra Bee Australia dealers sell, from 2025 models still on the floor to the latest Surron Ultra Bee 2026 HP.
Surron Ultra Bee specs at a glance
There are two main versions: the standard Ultra Bee and the higher-powered Ultra Bee HP. Here is how they compare using the published figures.
| Spec | Standard Ultra Bee (R/T) | Ultra Bee HP (MY26) |
|---|---|---|
| Peak power | 12.5 kW | 24.5 kW (Turbo) / 21.5 kW (Sport) |
| Rated power | 6 kW | Not published |
| Torque at the wheel | 440 Nm | 520 Nm |
| Top speed | 90+ km/h | 95 km/h |
| Battery | 74V 55Ah (4,070 Wh) | 74V 60Ah |
| Range | Up to 140 km at 40 km/h | Up to 115 km at 50 km/h |
| Suspension travel | 240 mm | 240 mm fork travel |
| Weight | 88–93 kg | Around 88.5 kg (MY25 kerb weight) |
Two things stand out. First, the HP roughly doubles peak power over the standard bike, which you feel most when climbing and accelerating out of corners. Second, range figures are measured at steady speeds on flat ground. Real trail range is lower when you’re climbing, carrying speed through sand or riding in Turbo mode.
Standard Surron Ultra Bee vs Ultra Bee HP
The standard Surron Ultra Bee is already quick. With 12.5 kW peak and 440 Nm at the rear wheel, it pulls harder than most riders expect from an electric trail bike, and it’s smooth enough for newer adult riders to learn on.
The HP is aimed at experienced riders. The 2026 model makes up to 24.5 kW in Turbo mode and 520 Nm at the wheel, and it adds Surron Wheelie Control and app connectivity. The MY25 HP produced 21 kW and 511 Nm, which is the figure you’ll still see quoted on many Australian listings, including ours.
Surron Ultra Bee 2025 vs 2026: what changed?
- 2025: the Ultra Bee HP arrived with a 74V 60Ah battery, 21 kW in Turbo mode, 511 Nm and extra riding modes, alongside the off-road-only Surron Ultra Bee X HP.
- 2026: the HP gained 24.5 kW and 520 Nm, Surron Wheelie Control, app connectivity with over-the-air updates and an upgraded charging port, and is sold in ADR-approved R and T trims.
Top speed stays at about 95 km/h on both. Our Surron Ultra Bee top speed guide converts every figure into horsepower and compares the Ultra Bee with the Storm Bee and Light Bee X.
Which one should you choose?
- Choose the standard Ultra Bee if you’re newer to riding, mostly trail ride at moderate pace, or want the lowest purchase price.
- Choose the Ultra Bee HP if you’re an experienced rider, ride steep or sandy terrain, carry more weight, or know you’ll want extra power later without swapping the controller.
- If you’re a lighter or shorter rider, compare it with the Surron Light Bee X before deciding, as it’s lighter and easier to throw around.
Ultra Bee R vs T: which trim suits you?
Every Surron Ultra Bee is sold in two trims, and the difference is mostly tyres and intended use.
- Ultra Bee R – dual-sport focus, with 90/90-19 front and 120/80-18 rear all-terrain tyres. Better on gravel roads, hard-pack and bitumen connecting sections.
- Ultra Bee T – off-road focus, with 80/100-19 front and 100/90-18 rear knobby tyres. Better grip in mud, loose dirt and sand.
If most of your riding is in the bush, the T is the obvious pick. If you plan to register the bike and link up trails on public roads, the R’s tyres are quieter, longer-lasting and more predictable on the road. You can always swap tyres later, and our wheels and tyres range includes Shinko rubber that suits the Ultra Bee.
There’s also a third option if you never ride on the road. The Ultra Bee X HP is the off-road-only version with no ADR approval, so it can’t be registered. Our Surron Ultra Bee X guide explains who it suits.
Is the Surron Ultra Bee road legal in Australia?
This is the question we’re asked most often. The short answer: some versions are, but only once they’re properly registered.
Surron Australia states that the Ultra Bee R and T are ADR-compliant, and ADR-approved versions of the Ultra Bee HP are now sold in both R and T form. An ADR-compliant bike can be registered as a motorcycle, which means you’ll need:
- a motorcycle licence (or learner permit, where your state allows it on that bike),
- full registration and compulsory third party (CTP) insurance,
- an approved helmet and the usual road equipment working, such as lights, indicators and mirrors.
An unregistered Surron Ultra Bee is treated like any other off-road motorcycle. It can only be ridden on private property with permission or at approved off-road parks. Queensland, for example, introduced new penalties for unregistered and unlicensed e-motorbike riders from 1 July 2026, as explained on the Queensland StreetSmarts e-motorbike page.
Registration costs and rules are different in every state, so check with your transport department before you buy. Our store lists the Ultra Bee HP road-registerable version, and we’re happy to talk you through what’s involved in your state.
Range, battery and charging
The Surron Ultra Bee uses a large 74V lithium battery: 55Ah on the standard bike and 60Ah on the HP. In practical terms, most riders get a full morning of trail riding from a charge, and considerably more if they’re commuting at steady road speeds on a registered bike.
What affects Ultra Bee range the most:
- Riding mode – Turbo mode on the HP uses energy fast. Sport mode is the better all-day choice.
- Terrain – steep climbs, sand and mud drain the battery much faster than flat fire trails.
- Rider weight and speed – every extra kilogram and every extra km/h costs range.
- Temperature – lithium batteries deliver less in the cold, which matters on winter mornings in Victoria and Tasmania.
The HP comes with a fast charger that takes around four hours for a full charge, and it stores under the seat so you can top up at a campsite or a friend’s place. For longer rides, many owners carry a spare charger rather than a second battery, as the Ultra Bee battery is heavy and expensive.
Surron Ultra Bee price in Australia
At the time of writing, the Surron Ultra Bee is advertised in Australia at roughly these prices:
| Model | Typical advertised price |
|---|---|
| Standard Ultra Bee R/T | From about $9,990 plus on-road costs |
| Ultra Bee HP (ADR, MY26) | From about $10,490 plus on-road costs |
On-road costs vary by state and dealer and can include registration, CTP, stamp duty and dealer delivery. Off-road-only versions don’t need rego, but you still need to budget for gear and a way to transport the bike.
Stock of the Ultra Bee HP has been tight, so many buyers secure a bike with a deposit. We offer a fully refundable $1,000 Ultra Bee HP deposit, and you can email us for current pricing, colours and delivery to your area.

Who is the Surron Ultra Bee best for?
The Surron Ultra Bee suits a surprisingly wide range of riders:
- Adult trail riders who want a quiet bike for private property, farms or registered off-road parks.
- Riders stepping up from a Light Bee who want more power, range and stability.
- Commuters and dual-sport riders who want a registered electric bike that can handle gravel and fire trails.
- Farm and property owners who need a quiet, low-maintenance bike for checking fences and stock.
It’s less suited to young kids. At 88–93 kg with a tall seat, the Ultra Bee is a full-size machine. Younger riders are better off on a Surron Hyper Bee or another kids electric dirt bike sized for them.
Surron Ultra Bee upgrades and mods
Like the Light Bee, the Surron Ultra Bee has a strong aftermarket. The most popular upgrades we fit and sell are:
- Controller and motor upgrades – EBMX’s X-9000 controller and XUB-80 motor add serious power. Browse EBMX Ultra Bee mods to see what’s available.
- Suspension – upgraded linkages, triangles and shock springs tuned for your weight.
- Wheels – supermoto wheels for road use or a 21-inch front for motocross-style riding.
- Brakes – oversized rotors for stronger stopping on steep descents.
- Protection – chain guides, shrouds and bash plates.
Our Sur-Ron Ultra Bee modifications range covers bolt-on upgrades, and our OEM Ultra Bee parts cover replacements. Remember that power upgrades can affect registration and warranty, so ask us before modifying a road-registered bike.
Stopping power matters as much as speed. Our Surron Ultra Bee brakes guide covers pads, rotors, bleeding and the Ultra Bee parts worth keeping in the shed.
The Stage 3 Surron Ultra Bee
If you want the ultimate version, our Stage 3 Ultra Bee is a turn-key race build with a 50 kW tune, X-9000 controller, XUB-80 motor and 22S battery, all under 100 kg. It’s built for experienced riders on private land and tracks, not for the road.
Surron Ultra Bee vs Light Bee X
It helps to see the two Surron models side by side.
| Surron Ultra Bee (standard) | Surron Light Bee X (MY26) | |
|---|---|---|
| Peak power | 12.5 kW | 10 kW |
| Top speed | 90+ km/h | 80 km/h |
| Battery | 74V 55Ah | 72V 35Ah |
| Weight | 88–93 kg | 59 kg kerb |
| Wheels | 19/18-inch | 19/18-inch (smaller tyres) |
| Best for | Taller adults, range, stability | Agility, lighter riders, tight trails |
The Light Bee X is lighter and more playful, while the Surron Ultra Bee is more comfortable, more stable and goes further. Many riders who start on a Light Bee eventually add an Ultra Bee to the shed. Our Surron model guide explains the whole range, including the Hyper Bee.
Maintenance and running costs
One of the best things about owning a Ultra Bee is how little maintenance it needs compared with a petrol bike. There’s no oil to change, no air filter to clean and no fuel to buy.
The regular jobs are simple:
- Check and adjust chain tension, and lube the chain after wet or dusty rides.
- Inspect brake pads and bleed the brakes when the lever feels soft.
- Check tyre pressures before every ride.
- Keep the battery between about 20% and 80% for storage, and charge it at room temperature.
- Avoid pressure-washing the motor, controller and battery area.
Charging costs are low. Even a full charge of the 60Ah HP battery costs only a few dollars at typical Australian electricity prices. Over a year of regular riding, the savings on fuel and servicing add up quickly.
Gear you need for the Surron Ultra Bee
A Surron Ultra Bee reaches 90–95 km/h, so treat it like any motorcycle. At minimum you’ll want an approved helmet, goggles, gloves, boots, and knee and body protection. If you’re riding on the road, your helmet must meet an approved standard such as AS/NZS 1698 or UN ECE 22.05/22.06.
Our dirt bike gear guide covers what to buy and which standards to look for.
Where to ride your Surron Ultra Bee
Where you can ride depends on registration:
- Registered Ultra Bee R or T: public roads plus forest roads and trails that allow registered motorcycles.
- Unregistered bike: private property with the owner’s permission, and approved off-road parks and tracks.
Each state has different rules for off-road areas, so read our guide to electric dirt bike laws in Australia before you head out.

Buying checklist: questions to ask before you pay
Whether you buy from us or another dealer, run through this checklist before you hand over money. It takes ten minutes and saves a lot of regret.
- Is the bike the current model year, and which battery and motor does it have?
- Is it the ADR-approved version if you want to register it, and does it come with the paperwork you’ll need?
- What warranty applies, who honours it, and does it cover the battery and controller?
- Are spare parts such as brake pads, chains, sprockets and tyres easy to get?
- Is a charger included, and what is the charging time?
- Is delivery included, or will you need to collect the bike or book a courier?
- What are the on-road costs in your state if you plan to register it?
Buying a used bike
Second-hand bikes can be good value, but check the battery carefully. Ask how many charge cycles it has done, whether it was stored fully charged or flat for long periods, and whether the controller or motor has been modified. Look for cracked plastics, bent footpegs and a worn chain and sprockets, which tell you how hard it has been ridden. If the seller can’t show proof of purchase, walk away, as stolen electric bikes are common.
Tips for your first rides
Even experienced petrol riders are surprised by how an electric bike behaves. There’s no clutch to slip and no engine braking in the usual sense, and full torque arrives the moment you twist the throttle.
- Start in the lowest power mode and ride in an open, flat area until you’re used to the throttle.
- Set the regenerative braking to a level you’re comfortable with, as it changes how the bike slows when you roll off.
- Practise emergency stops with both brakes before you head into the trees.
- Stand on the pegs on rough ground and keep your weight centred over the bike.
- Ride with a friend, tell someone where you’re going, and carry a phone and a basic tool kit.
Build up speed and terrain gradually. The quiet motor makes it easy to go faster than you realise, and other trail users may not hear you coming, so slow down around walkers, horses and cyclists.
