Sur-Ron Light Bee X
Sur-Ron Light Bee X is one of the most recognizable electric off-road motorcycles, designed for dynamic off-road riding, conquering demanding trails, and maximum vehicle control. The Light Bee X model combines a lightweight construction with a powerful central PMSM motor, an advanced FOC controller, and an efficient 60 V 40 Ah battery.
The latest version develops a maximum of 8 kW of power, reaches 75 km/h, and thanks to its 60 V 40 Ah battery, offers a stated range of up to 75 km at a speed of 40 km/h. The design is based on a forged aluminum frame, an extensive suspension system, and hydraulic disc brakes.
The Light Bee X uses a centrally mounted PMSM motor working in tandem with an FOC Sinewave Controller. The unit achieves up to 8000 W of peak power and up to 266 Nm of torque at the wheel, allowing the motorcycle to respond very quickly to throttle input and providing high dynamics during off-road riding.
Two riding modes are available to the rider:
Sport – maximum dynamics and full capability of the powertrain,
Eco – smoother power delivery and focus on more efficient energy usage.
In Sport mode, regenerative braking is also available, which allows for energy recovery during deceleration.
The motorcycle is equipped with a removable 60 V 40 Ah lithium-ion battery utilizing 21700 cells. The capacity is approximately 2400 Wh, which provides an adequate energy reserve for longer off-road trips.
The battery can be removed from the vehicle, which facilitates charging and storage. The manufacturer states approximately 2 hours for charging from 20% to 80%.
The Sur-Ron Light Bee X reaches a maximum speed of approximately 75 km/h. Such performance, combined with the central motor and the low weight of the construction, makes the motorcycle very agile and well-suited for off-road trails.
The declared range is up to 75 km at a speed of 40 km/h under WMTC measurement conditions. The actual range depends on factors such as rider weight, temperature, speed, terrain type, and riding intensity.
One of the biggest advantages of the Light Bee X is the extensive suspension system designed for off-road riding.
The front features an upside-down hydraulic fork with 200 mm of travel, while the rear utilizes an Intersect TR multi-link system with full adjustability. The rear shock absorber travel is 85 mm, with a rear wheel travel of a full 210 mm.
The long suspension travel allows for effectively absorbing bumps, roots, rocks, ruts, and landing after jumps.
The Light Bee X comes with wheels designed for off-road use:
front: 70/100-19,
rear: 3.00-18.
The set provides adequate grip and stability when riding on gravel, dirt, mud, and other demanding surfaces.
Stopping the motorcycle is handled by a hydraulic disc brake system with 4-piston calipers. The use of large discs and a hydraulic brake system ensures precise braking force modulation and proper control during dynamic off-road riding.
The frame of the Light Bee X is made of forged aluminum alloy. The manufacturer uses forging technology under 6000 tons of pressure, allowing the construction to maintain a favorable stiffness-to-weight ratio.
The curb weight of the motorcycle with the battery is approximately 57 kg, with a dry weight of about 45 kg. The seat height is 830 mm, and the ground clearance is a full 270 mm.
