The verdict
The Ultra Bee HP is Sur-Ron's grown-up bike, and the 2026 HP version is a monster on paper: 24.5 kW, 384 ft-lb of torque, a 74V 60Ah battery (about 4,440 Wh), 59 mph and 71 miles at a steady 31 mph, per Sur-Ron USA. Voro Motors sold it for $5,999 on November 12, 2026, in stock. The catch: no warranty or charge time on the pages we read, which costs it points in our formula.
What we like
- 24.5 kW, 384 ft-lb (Sur-Ron USA)
- 74V 60Ah, about 4,440 Wh: the biggest pack under $6,000 here
- 71 miles at 31 mph, per Sur-Ron
- About 187 lbs in off-road X form
- In stock at Voro Motors on our check date
The catch
We couldn't read a warranty term or a charging time on the pages we used, so the formula scores those as not stated. At $5,999 it's also $300 more than the Komodo, which charges far faster.
Who it is for, who should skip it
Buy it if
- You want Sur-Ron's dealer network and parts support
- You ride long days and want the biggest battery in this class
- You've outgrown a Light Bee
Skip it if
- Beginners: 24.5 kW is a lot
- Riders who want charge time and warranty in writing before paying
What "HP" buys you
Sur-Ron USA's home page lists the Ultra Bee X HP 2026 at 24.5 kW maximum power, 384 ft-lb, a 74V 60Ah battery, 1.84 s from 0 to 31 mph, 59 mph and 71 miles at 31 mph. That's a big jump on the original Ultra Bee and puts it right next to the Komodo and the Sigma.

Weight and balance
Sur-Ron says the Ultra Bee has a 50:50 weight split on a forged aluminum frame and weighs about 85 kg (187 lbs) in off-road X form. The road version is heavier because of its plate bracket, passenger pegs and road wheels.
Road versions exist, but not this one
Sur-Ron builds road-registered Ultra Bee versions for some markets. The HP version sold by Voro is an off-road bike. In the US, road use depends on your state, and you shouldn't assume a plate is possible.
How the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee earns its 8.2
Our formula gives each of seven criteria a score out of 10 from the published figure, then weighs them. Here is the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee's line, with each criterion's weight in the overall score.
| Criterion | Score | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| Price, against the catalog median (dated, US) | 6.4/10 | 25% |
| Peak motor power (kW) | 9.4/10 | 15% |
| Battery energy (Wh) | 9.0/10 | 15% |
| Weight with battery (lighter is better) | 5.7/10 | 15% |
| Published warranty | 2.0/10 (not stated) | 10% |
| Road status (brand wording) | 4.0/10 | 10% |
| Charging time (published) | 2.0/10 (not stated) | 10% |
Weighted together, that's 8.2/10 on our published scale, No. 10 of 14. Anything marked not stated scores 2/10: publish the figure and the score goes up. The full formula is on our methodology page.

What's in the box
The bike, charger and manual from the dealer.
Getting started
Dealer prep or crate assembly, a full charge and suspension setup. Learn the modes (Sur-Ron lists Eco, Rain and Sport plus Turbo on the road version) before you use full power.
Whatever bike you buy, set the softest mode for the first rides, check every bolt after the first few hours, and keep the battery charged between 20 and 80% when you store it, unless the manual says otherwise.
Hidden costs
Shipping, gear, faster wear on tires and drivetrain with 24.5 kW, and possibly a home charging setup. Ask about warranty in writing.
Plan the total, not the sticker: freight or dealer prep, a full set of gear (helmet, goggles, boots, gloves, armor; see our safety gear guide), a stand, and wear parts. Road rules vary by state; read are electric dirt bikes street legal? before you ride on public roads.
Questions to ask the seller
- What warranty comes with the Ultra Bee HP, and who handles it?
- What's the charging time with the included charger?
- Is it the off-road X form (about 187 lbs)?
- Freight and setup cost?

Alternatives
The three bikes closest in price, and how they differ on the published specs:
Talaria Komodo MX costs $300 less ($5,699), hits harder (32 kW peak against 24.5 kW peak), is 29 lbs heavier (216 lbs), is listed as road kit / l3e option. It scores 9.4/10, ahead of the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee, so it deserves a look before you decide.
Segway Xaber 300 costs $699.01 less ($5,299.99), has less punch (21 kW peak against 24.5 kW peak), carries 1,270 Wh less battery. It scores 8.1/10, below the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee's 8.2, so we'd only pick it for that one strength.
Altis Sigma costs $700 less ($5,299), carries 1,038 Wh less battery, is 11 lbs heavier (198 lbs). It scores 8.8/10, ahead of the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee, so it deserves a look before you decide.
