Surron is the brand that turned electric dirt bikes into a global craze. Its Light Bee X created the lightweight e-moto category almost single-handedly, and today the range covers everything from a kids’ mini bike to a road-registerable full-size machine. If you’re trying to work out which model is right for you, this guide explains every bike sold in Australia, how they compare, what they cost and where you can ride them.
We’ll finish with a simple guide to choosing the best Surron for your age, size, experience and riding plans. Specs and prices are current as of September 2026, so always confirm the latest details with a dealer before you buy.
Who makes Surron?
Sur-Ron bikes are made by Qiulong Technology, founded in Chongqing, China, in 2014. The company runs sites in Chongqing and Hangzhou and sells bikes in dozens of countries. You’ll see the name written several ways, including Surron, SurRon, Sur-Ron and Sur Ron. They all refer to the same company. Our Sur Ron history guide explains how the brand grew and why the spelling varies.
In Australia, the bikes are imported by the official distributor, Mojo Motorcycles, appointed in 2024, and sold through a network of more than 40 dealers with a 12-month warranty. You can find the distributor’s model information on the official Sur-Ron Australia website.
Why the brand became so popular
Before the Light Bee arrived, riders had two main choices: heavy petrol dirt bikes or pedal e-bikes with limited power. The Light Bee sat right in the middle. It weighed around 50 kg, made instant torque, needed almost no maintenance and was quiet enough to ride without annoying the neighbours. It was also cheap enough to modify, and a huge aftermarket grew up around it.
That combination made the bike a hit with teenagers, adult trail riders, motocross riders looking for a training bike and even pit-bike racers. Today, nearly every competitor is measured against it.
How the Surron range has grown
The original Light Bee launched in the late 2010s and quickly became the best-known bike in the category. The Light Bee X followed with more power and better components, and it stayed the core model for years. The full-size Ultra Bee then gave bigger riders a machine closer in size to a petrol dirt bike.
More recently, the company added the Hyper Bee for kids, a high-performance HP version of the Ultra Bee with road-legal options, a heavily updated 2026 Light Bee X and the all-new Light Bee 2. Each update brought more power, smarter electronics and app features that owners can adjust from their phone.

The company also lists the Storm Bee, a larger model, in its global range. Availability varies by market, so we haven’t included it in the table. Prices change often, and dealers may run specials, so treat the figures above as a guide rather than a quote.
Surron Hyper Bee
The Hyper Bee is the smallest model and the family’s entry point. The 2026 version has a 58V 22Ah battery, 8 kW peak, 185 Nm at the wheel, a 65 km/h top speed and a 39 kg kerb weight. It’s designed for young and smaller riders, with a 55 kg maximum rider load, adjustable seat height from 665 to 705 mm and 14/12-inch wheels.
Parents get extensive controls, including GPS tracking, a remote cut-out, a magnetic kill switch and anti-wheelie control. Power can be limited through the app while a child learns, then opened up as their skills improve.
It’s the best choice for kids and small teens. Read our full Hyper Bee guide or see the Hyper Bee in stock.
Surron Light Bee X
The Light Bee X (LBX) is the bike that made the brand famous. For 2026, it moves to a 72V 35Ah battery with 10 kW peak and 295 Nm at the wheel, reaches 80 km/h and weighs 59 kg. New features include wheelie control, app connectivity with over-the-air updates, five-level regenerative braking and a new digital dash, plus a new white colourway.
Older Light Bee X models used a 60V battery and made around 6 kW, so the 2026 bike is a big step up. It still keeps the light, flickable feel that owners love.
It’s the best pick for most teens and lighter adults who want an agile trail bike. Read our 2026 Light Bee X review and our LBX upgrades guide, or see the 2026 Light Bee X in stock.
Surron Light Bee 2
The Light Bee 2 is the newest model in Australia, on sale from 31 August 2026. It sits between the Light Bee X and the Ultra Bee, with 24 kW peak, 410 Nm, a 90 km/h top speed and a 65 kg weight. Its semi-solid-state battery holds 3.53 kWh and is rated for up to 108 km at 40 km/h.
It’s off-road only at launch, with an ADR version reported to be in development. It’s advertised at around $8,990. If you love the Light Bee’s size but want much more power and range, the Light Bee 2 is the one to look at.
Surron Ultra Bee
The Ultra Bee is the company’s full-size model. The standard version has 12.5 kW peak, 440 Nm at the wheel, a top speed over 90 km/h, a 74V 55Ah battery rated for up to 140 km at 40 km/h, and 240 mm of suspension travel on 19/18-inch wheels. It comes in R (dual-sport tyres) and T (knobby off-road tyres) versions.
With a taller seat and a heavier chassis than the Light Bee family, it feels more like a traditional 125–250 cc dirt bike. That makes it the best option for taller and heavier adults. Our Ultra Bee guide covers every version.
Surron Ultra Bee HP
The HP is the high-performance Ultra Bee. The 2026 model makes up to 24.5 kW in Turbo mode and 520 Nm at the wheel, reaches 95 km/h and uses a 74V 60Ah battery. ADR-approved versions are available in R and T form and can be registered for the road. It adds wheelie control and app connectivity.
It’s the best buy for licensed riders who want one bike for trails and the road. See the Ultra Bee HP road-registerable version or reserve a 2026 Ultra Bee HP with a deposit.
Surron Light Bee L1E: the road version
The company has also sold a road-registrable Light Bee, the L1E, registered as a moped and governed to 45 km/h. Only bikes sold after May 2022 qualify, according to Australian owners’ guides. At the time of writing, we couldn’t confirm the L1E is still sold new in Australia, so check with a dealer if you’re interested.
Which Surron should you buy?
The right bike depends mostly on your size, your experience and where you’ll ride. Here’s how to narrow it down.
By rider
| Rider | Best model |
|---|---|
| Kids and small teens up to 55 kg | Hyper Bee |
| Teens and lighter adults under about 90 kg | Light Bee X |
| Riders who want Light Bee size with much more power | Light Bee 2 |
| Taller or heavier adults | Ultra Bee |
| Licensed riders who want road registration | Ultra Bee HP (ADR) |
By riding type
- Tight bush trails: Light Bee X.
- Open trails and long range: Ultra Bee.
- Motocross tracks: Light Bee X or Light Bee 2 with suspension upgrades, or the Ultra Bee HP.
- Farm and property: Ultra Bee.
- Commuting and dual-sport: Ultra Bee HP (registered).
- Kids learning at home: Hyper Bee.
By budget
- Under $5,000: Hyper Bee.
- $7,000 to $9,000: Light Bee X or Light Bee 2.
- $10,000 and up: Ultra Bee or Ultra Bee HP, plus on-road costs if you register it.
Remember to budget for gear, a charger at home and a few early upgrades. Most owners spend an extra $1,000 to $2,000 in the first year.
Surron vs Talaria
Talaria is the main rival. Its XXX (X3) and X3 Pro compete with the Light Bee X at a lower price, with about 6 kW peak and a 60V 40Ah battery for around $5,500. The Sur-Ron models generally offer more power, newer electronics and a bigger aftermarket, while Talaria offers better value.
If you’re on a tight budget, a Talaria is a smart way into the sport. If you want the latest tech and the widest choice of parts, a Surron is hard to beat. Our Talaria XXX guide compares them in detail.
Surron vs petrol dirt bikes
Compared with a 125–250 cc petrol bike, the electric models are lighter, quieter and far cheaper to run. There’s no clutch or gears to learn, which makes them easier for beginners. Instant torque makes them fast out of corners and up hills.
Petrol bikes still win on range and refuelling time. A tank of fuel takes minutes to fill, while a battery can take several hours to charge. For long days far from power, petrol is more practical. For most weekend trail riding, electric is more than enough.
Where can you ride a Surron?
Most models are off-road only. They can be ridden on private property with the landowner’s permission and at approved off-road parks and tracks, but not on roads, footpaths, bike paths, beaches or public land. Only ADR-approved models, like approved versions of the Ultra Bee HP, can be registered.
It’s also important to understand that these bikes aren’t legal e-bikes, even though they’re electric. Our guide to whether a Surron is an e-bike explains why, and our electric dirt bike laws guide covers the rules in each state.
Surron upgrades and parts
One of the best things about owning one of these bikes is the aftermarket. You can upgrade almost every part, from bars and pegs to suspension, brakes, batteries, controllers and motors. We stock a large range of parts and upgrades, including:
- Sur-Ron Light Bee modifications
- Sur-Ron Ultra Bee modifications
- EBMX power upgrades
- Light Bee X OEM parts
- Ultra Bee OEM parts
The first upgrades to make
Most riders start with comfort and control. Wider bars, bigger foot pegs and a taller seat make the Light Bee fit adults better. Better tyres transform grip on loose trails. Suspension upgrades come next for riders who jump or ride fast.
Power upgrades, such as a bigger controller or battery, should come last, once your skills and the rest of the bike can handle the extra speed. Be aware that some power upgrades can affect your warranty.
Surron showroom builds
If you want a modified bike without doing the work yourself, our showroom builds are ready to ride. Our custom LBX runs an X-9000 controller making 13 kW, and our Stage 3 Ultra Bee runs a 50 kW race tune with EBMX parts. Both are built for experienced riders on private land and tracks.
Buying a used Surron
Second-hand bikes are common in Australia, and a used Light Bee can be a cheaper way in. But there are risks, and it pays to be careful.
- Check the battery first. Ask how old it is, how it’s been stored and how far the bike goes on a full charge. A worn battery can cost thousands to replace.
- Look for crash damage. Check the frame, forks, bars and swingarm for bends, cracks or fresh paint.
- Ask about modifications. Heavily modified bikes may have been ridden hard, and some upgrades affect reliability.
- Confirm ownership. Ask for the original receipt and check the frame number matches.
- Test ride it. Listen for unusual noises from the motor and drivetrain, and make sure all modes and brakes work.
A used Surron with no history, no receipt and a price that looks too good to be true is best avoided. Buying new from an authorised dealer gets you a warranty, a known battery and after-sales support.
Owning a Surron: running costs
These bikes are cheap to run. There’s no fuel, no oil changes and very little routine servicing. Budget for tyres, brake pads, chain and sprockets, and suspension servicing, plus a few dollars per charge.
The biggest long-term cost is the battery, so look after it. Charge it with the correct charger, store it at around half charge when you’re not riding, and keep it out of the heat. A well-maintained battery should last many seasons.
Charging your Surron
Every bike comes with a standard charger that plugs into a normal household power point. A full charge usually takes several hours, depending on the model and the charger. Fast chargers are available for some models and can cut the wait considerably, which is handy if you want two sessions in one day.
Always charge on a hard, non-flammable surface, away from anything that could catch fire, and never leave a charging battery unattended for long periods. If a battery is swollen, damaged or has been in water, stop using it and ask a dealer for advice.
Simple maintenance checklist
- Check tyre pressures and chain tension before every ride.
- Clean and lube the chain after muddy or dusty rides.
- Check brake pads and bolts regularly.
- Avoid pressure-washing the motor, controller and battery area.
- Service the suspension as the manufacturer recommends.
Gear for Surron riders
Every model is fast enough to cause serious injuries, from the Hyper Bee at 65 km/h to the Ultra Bee HP at 95 km/h. Wear a certified helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and body armour every time. Our dirt bike gear guide explains what to buy.
