Sur-Ron is the brand most Australians think of when they picture an electric dirt bike, and the shopping questions are always the same. Which model should I buy, how do they differ and what do they cost? This guide compares four bikes from the Electric Dirt Bike Australia range: the Light Bee X, the Ultra Bee and the two Storm Bee models. People often type the brand as one word, so you will see the Surron Light Bee X written that way in searches, but the bikes are made by Sur-Ron.
All prices and specifications come from our product pages. These bikes are for private property and designated off-road areas only.

How to choose the right model
Work through these questions before you pick a bike.
- How much do you weigh, and how heavy a bike can you handle?
- Do you ride tight trails, open bush tracks or a motocross track?
- How far is your usual ride, and can you recharge between sessions?
- What is your total budget, including gear, a spare charger and transport?
Price per kilowatt: a rough value check
Dividing price by peak power gives a simple value comparison. The Light Bee X works out to about $1,082 per kW ($6,490 divided by 6), the Ultra Bee to about $879 ($10,990 divided by 12.5), and the Storm Bee MX to about $644 ($14,490 divided by 22.5). More power per dollar does not mean a better bike for you. A heavier bike needs more skill, so choose the one you can control.
Cheap Surron options: what is the lowest-priced bike?
Riders looking for the cheapest surron in our range will find that the Light Bee X at $6,490 is the lowest-priced Sur-Ron we list. We sell new bikes only, so there are no used or discounted older models. If you want a cheap surron style bike at a lower price, compare the lighter electric bikes in our electric dirt bikes category.
Accessories and spares
Before you buy any part, check the voltage and connector on your battery and controller so the new part matches the bike. Genuine packs and chargers matter for safety as well as performance. The most common additions are a replacement battery and protection. A Surron e bicycle style pedal bike is a different product, so make sure any part you buy matches your exact model. The Sur-Ron OEM 60V 40Ah replacement pack is $1,790, and the heavy-duty skid plate is $195. Browse more in our accessories range.

Where to ride
A first ride is best spent on flat, open private ground where you can learn how the throttle and brakes respond. Build up gradually, learn the riding modes before you head onto steeper or rougher tracks, and ride with a friend when you can. These bikes are for private property with the owner's permission and designated off-road areas. They are not road registered. Rules differ by state, so check with your state authority. Wear a certified helmet, goggles, gloves, boots and knee protection every ride. For more on pricing, read our Light Bee X price guide and the Sur-Ron electric bike price guide.
