2026 Surron Light Bee 2 X Electric Dirt Bike

Pre-Order Now — Estimated Ship: August–September 2026

The Light Bee created the electric dirt bike category. The Light Bee 2 rebuilds it from the ground up. Same featherweight feel at just 143 lbs — everything underneath is new. A 24kW peak motor, 302 ft-lb of wheel torque, and a breakthrough semi-solid-state battery that pushes real-world range past 99 miles. Seven ride modes from Crawl to Turbo. Zero belt to maintain. This is not the next Light Bee X. It's a different class of machine.

X Version — off-road configuration. No mirrors, no turn signals, no plate mount.

Available in Glacier White, Midnight Black, Spruce Green, and Desert Brown.

── FEROCIOUS POWER ─────────────────────────

The all-new EVO-2 motor is a second-generation permanent-magnet synchronous motor paired with the Bee Matrix field-oriented controller. Peak output is 24kW — a 200% jump over the previous Light Bee X (8kW). Maximum wheel torque reaches 302 ft-lb (410 N·m), a 54% increase. The motor spins to 8,700 rpm (up from 5,200 rpm), while the diameter shrank from 155mm to 142mm. Smaller, faster, stronger.

The Light Bee 2 maintains maximum torque all the way up to 34 mph. At 37 mph, torque still exceeds the previous Light Bee X's peak output. At 43 mph, the Light Bee 2 delivers 3.2× the power and torque of the old model. Centrifugal oil-bath cooling handles sustained high-output riding without thermal throttling.

Seven ride modes — Eco, Daily, Sport, M Custom, Turbo, Crawl, and Reverse — cover everything from technical low-speed terrain to full-power runs. M mode lets you set power, torque, speed limit, throttle response, regen levels, brake priority, and tilt protection independently. One bike, effectively unlimited configurations.

Ride mode breakdown:
- Turbo (T): 24.08kW / 410 N·m / 56 mph — full power
- M Custom: 21.75kW / 410 N·m — fully adjustable output
- Sport (S): 19.36kW / 368 N·m — strong, aggressive delivery
- Daily (D): 12.6kW / 262 N·m — balanced, smooth
- Eco (E): 6.44kW / 210 N·m — maximum range
- Crawl (L): 368 N·m / 7–15 mph — low-speed precision
- Reverse (R): 7 mph — slow reverse assist

Throttle curve: 3-level adjustable (soft to sharp response).

── SEMI-SOLID-STATE BATTERY ────────────────

The Light Bee 2 is among the first production electric motorcycles to use a true semi-solid-state battery, co-developed with QingTao Energy. The gel-electrolyte chemistry reduces electrolyte content, runs cooler, and significantly lowers thermal runaway risk compared to conventional lithium-ion packs.

Battery: 78.54V / 45Ah / 3.53kWh
Weight: 14.9 kg (32.8 lbs)
Cell energy density: 320 Wh/kg
Pack energy density: 237 Wh/kg
Volumetric density: 695 Wh/L
Cycle life: 1,200 cycles (vs ~500 for standard 21700 cells)
Max charge rate: 3.8C supported
Sustained discharge: 7C
Protection rating: IP67

The semi-solid-state chemistry delivers consistent power output regardless of charge level. Surron's lab testing shows acceleration times at 30% charge are nearly identical to full charge — no power cliff, no throttling at low battery. Quick-release battery pack. Automotive-grade locking discharge connector. Battery sleep mode for long-term storage.

Estimated range: 99 miles at 15 mph / 67 miles at 25 mph under test conditions. Charge time from 20% to 80%: approximately 2 hours.

── SUSPENSION SYSTEM ──────────────────────

Front: 38mm inverted forks (up from 35mm on previous Light Bee X) with 7050/7075 aluminum alloy inner and outer tubes. Kashima-coated inner tubes — ceramic micropore structure filled with molybdenum disulfide lubricant — delivers four times the service life of standard hard-anodized forks. SKF oil seals. Dual-chamber damping with anti-bottoming system. Direct-mount handlebar clamp for improved fork parallelism and smoother travel. Usable travel: 8.46 inches.

Rear: Completely redesigned linkage system with a higher progression rate — softer initial stroke for small bump compliance, firmer mid-to-late stroke for heavy landings. Upgraded shock body, strengthened damping, lighter spring with fewer coils and more consistent spring rate. Rear shock travel: 3.35 inches / rear wheel travel: 8.66 inches.

Ground clearance: 11.02 inches.

── TRACTION, REGEN & WHEELIE CONTROL ──────

SRTC Traction Control (3 levels): Off-road-optimized traction control system. Three sensitivity levels for quick switching in mud, sand, and loose terrain.

SWC Wheelie Control (2 levels, IMU-based): Real-time pitch angle monitoring via IMU. Millisecond-level motor output coordination for precise, safe wheelie control.
- Level 1 (15–35°): Smooth, early intervention — learning and trail use
- Level 2 (35–60°+): Active control at higher angles for experienced riders
At 85 km/h (53 mph), the Light Bee 2 can still wheelie on pure motor power.

Regenerative Braking: 5-level coasting regen + 5-level braking regen, independently adjustable.

RBS Advanced Regen Braking: Brake lever trigger for one-finger combined braking and energy recovery.

Auto-Hold: Double-click the brake lever to activate electronic parking. Holds position on inclines.

Cruise Control: Available at speeds above 6.21 mph.

── BRAKING & DRIVETRAIN ───────────────────

Braking: Lightweight motorcycle-grade integrated opposed four-piston radial calipers (20&22 piston configuration). High-temperature sintered friction pads with friction coefficient 0.55. Thickened 220mm front disc / 203mm rear disc for faster heat dissipation and stronger bite. Lightweight master cylinder, tool-free lever adjustment.

Drivetrain: Primary gear reduction + secondary chain transmission. The integrated two-stage gear reduction motor handles up to 5× impact loads. 520-90L O-ring sealed chain — 36kN tensile strength. High-grade cylindrical roller bearings — 3× the load capacity of same-size ball bearings. High-precision gear design significantly reduces drivetrain noise.

Wheel System:
- 6061 forged hubs + 7116 rims, ultra-light straight-pull spoke structure
- Single manganese steel spoke: max tension 8,100N
- 42CrMo hollow axle: ultimate load 40kN, stiffness +150%
- Front wheel bearing load: 13kN (+83%) / Rear: 28kN (+88%)
- Rear wheel accepts up to 130mm wide tires

── FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ────────────

How much more powerful is the Light Bee 2 compared to the Light Bee X?
The 2026 Light Bee 2 produces 24kW of peak power — a 200% increase over the Light Bee X (8kW). Wheel torque jumps from 266 N·m to 410 N·m (302 ft-lb), a 54% increase. The motor also spins 67% faster (8,700 vs 5,200 rpm) while being 9% smaller in diameter.

What is the top speed of the 2026 Surron Light Bee 2?
The Light Bee 2 X version has a top speed of 55.92 mph in Turbo mode. M Custom and Sport modes are limited to 53 mph. Eco mode caps at 37 mph.

How far can the Light Bee 2 go on one charge?
Up to 99 miles at 15 mph and 67 miles at 25 mph under test conditions (rider weight 154 lbs, ambient 77°F, dry flat road). Real-world range varies with riding mode, terrain, and rider weight. Turbo and Sport modes will reduce range significantly.

What is a semi-solid-state battery and why does it matter?
Standard lithium-ion batteries use liquid electrolyte. The Light Bee 2's semi-solid-state battery uses a gel electrolyte, which runs cooler, carries significantly lower thermal runaway risk, and supports higher energy density. The result: 320 Wh/kg cell density, 1,200-cycle life (vs ~500 for standard cells), and IP67 waterproofing — in a 14.9 kg pack.

Does performance drop at low battery?
No. Surron's lab testing shows acceleration times at 30% charge are nearly identical to full charge in Turbo mode. The system prioritizes consistent output over peak numbers, so power delivery stays predictable throughout the ride.

What riding modes does the Light Bee 2 have?
Seven modes: Eco, Daily, Sport, M Custom, Turbo, Crawl, and Reverse. M mode lets you freely adjust power, torque, speed limit, throttle curve, regen levels, and safety settings — effectively creating a custom ride profile. SRTC traction control has three levels. SWC wheelie control has two levels.

What is the difference between the X version and the Road version?
The X version is the off-road configuration. It has a 3,100-lumen wide-angle LED headlight, no turn signals, no mirrors, and no license plate mount. The Road version has a 2,500-lumen regulation-compliant headlight, turn signals, mirrors, reflectors, and a license plate bracket. We sell the X version only.

How much does the Light Bee 2 weigh?
143.3 lbs (65 kg) including the battery. The battery pack alone weighs 14.9 kg (32.8 lbs) and is removable for charging anywhere.

What colors are available?
Glacier White, Midnight Black, Spruce Green, and Desert Brown.
