Build Service, free: we will fully build and PDI-test your bike before it leaves us at no extra cost. Built bikes cannot be posted, so you collect from us or book your own courier. Shiply lists specialist motorbike couriers, averaging around £150 per delivery. Message us on WhatsApp before you order: depending on where you are we may be able to deliver the built bike ourselves, or point you to a courier we rate. Prefer free delivery? Choose delivered boxed and we ship to your door free of charge: the bike arrives almost fully built, with only the front wheel and handlebars to attach.
Light. Rigid. Stable. That is Sur-Ron's brief for the 2026 Light Bee X, and the spec sheet backs it up: the biggest year-on-year jump Sur-Ron has made on this platform since launch. A 10 kW PMSM mid-drive with MTPA/MTPV FOC control, 295 Nm at the wheel, a 50 mph (80 km/h) top speed, and a higher-voltage 72 V battery. Same chassis you trust, more bike everywhere else.

- 10 kW peak power
- 295 N·m at the wheel
- 50 mph top speed

- MTPA/MTPV FOC controller
- Emergency Brake Alert taillight strobe

POWER
10kW mid-drive muscle
The 10kW PMSM mid-drive puts 295 N·m through the rear wheel: 0 to 31 mph in 2.5 seconds and a 50 mph (80 km/h) top speed.
CONTROL
FOC intelligent controller
The self-developed MTPA/MTPV FOC controller makes thousands of adjustments per second for smooth, predictable throttle, with adjustable power delivery, throttle curves and regen.
BATTERY
72V 35Ah, 2.5kWh
Higher voltage means less heat under sustained load. IP67 sealed, 50G shock resistant, removable for indoor charging, and 20 to 80% takes 2.15 hours.
SUSPENSION
Intersect TR rear suspension
The fully adjustable Intersect TR rear system keeps the rear wheel tracking across rough terrain, with 85 mm of shock travel.
FRONT END
200mm travel forks
Inverted front forks with 200 mm of travel soak up the hits so the front stays planted on loose and demanding ground.
BRAKING
Four-piston stopping power
Integrated forged opposed four-piston calipers deliver strong, consistent braking, and the emergency brake flash warns riders behind you under hard stops.
Colourways
The 2026 Light Bee X is offered in White, Black, Purple and Green, all proper paint rather than vinyl wrap.

Frequently asked questions
What is new on the 2026 Light Bee X?
10 kW peak power, 295 Nm of torque at the wheel, a 50 mph (80 km/h) top speed, a 72 V battery architecture, an MTPA/MTPV FOC controller, electronic gyroscope tilt protection, an emergency brake-light strobe, and White, Black, Purple and Green colour options. The chassis, wheel sizes and suspension platform carry over from the previous generation with minor revisions.
Which Light Bee X should I buy?
Every Light Bee X we sell is the MY26 model. Pick your colour, then choose UK stock for delivery in 2 to 3 working days or the longer-lead pre-order direct from the factory.
What safety systems does the 2026 Light Bee X have?
Electronic gyroscope tilt protection that cuts power if the bike tips past a defined angle, throttle override protection, power system high and low temperature protection, high and low voltage protection, overcurrent protection, side-stand protection that stops the motor running with the stand down, and an emergency brake flash that strobes the taillight under hard braking.
Is the 2026 Light Bee X road legal in the UK?
No. The Light Bee X is off-road only and not type-approved for UK public roads. It is for private land, MX tracks, motorsport venues and trail centres. We only sell off-road models.
How long does delivery take?
UK stock bikes are delivered to your door in 2 to 3 working days, PDI checked, boxed and free to mainland UK. Pre-orders ship direct from the factory and usually take around 60 days. You can cancel for a full refund any time before dispatch. Delivery times are estimates and occasional delays can happen.
Can I connect this bike to the Sur-Ron app?
Our bikes cannot be connected to the Sur-Ron app due to technical limitations with product regions. This does not change the functionality of the bike, as the app is not needed for using the bike as usual.
