Sur-Ron has announced a new 2025 version of the Light Bee X off-road electric bike. It’s been upgraded with added power, improved agility and uprated suspension.
In terms of powertrain, the new Light Bee X has 33% more power than the old model, now producing a claimed 8kW (11bhp), and has a claimed peak torque figure of 266Nm (196ft.lb) – an increase of 16Nm (12ft.lb). That extra urge comes courtesy of a new high-performance mid-mounted electric motor, which gives a top speed of 46mph. Claimed range is up to 46 miles at 25mph, and the 11.6kg battery is removable for off-bike charging.
As well as the updated motor, the pressure-forged aluminium main frame is also new and is fitted with uprated competition-class suspension with adjustable damping and air assistance. A multi-link swingarm, 19in front and 18in rear wheels, and four-piston brake calipers round off the 57kg chassis spec.
As well as the previous phantom purple, Lapis blue and carbon black colourways, there is a new sage green option for 2025. The price is TBC, but further information can be found at www.sur-ron.co.uk
