The SUR-RON Light Bee 2 is one of the most interesting new electric dirt bikes coming to the UK in 2026.
The headline figures stand out immediately: 24kW of peak power, 410N·m of wheel torque, a 65kg curb weight and a claimed 90km/h top speed.
SUR-RON has developed the Light Bee 2 as a new generation of the platform, with a new powertrain architecture, battery system, chassis and electronic controls built around the higher performance.
Here's what SUR-RON has confirmed about the new Light Bee 2, covering price, availability, performance, battery, range and its road-use position in the UK.
Quick take from Go Off Road: The Light Bee 2 is a serious step up for the Light Bee platform. The combination of 24kW, a 65kg chassis and a 3.53kWh battery is what stands out most. UK availability and final specification are still being confirmed, so we'll update this article as more information comes through.

How fast is the SUR-RON Light Bee 2?
SUR-RON's published figures put the Light Bee 2 at a 90km/h top speed, or 55.9mph, with:
- 0-50km/h: 1.8 seconds
- 0-80km/h: 3.43 seconds
Maximum wheel torque is rated at 410N·m.
What stands out isn't the top-speed number on its own. It's that SUR-RON has put this level of output into a bike weighing 65kg.
That combination of power and weight, rather than either figure alone, is what should define how the Light Bee 2 feels on the trail.
SUR-RON Light Bee 2 24kW Power Explained
24kW is the Sun-Ron Light Bee 2's peak power output, not a figure the motor sustains constantly through a ride. Real-world power demand shifts with speed, terrain, throttle input and riding mode.
The more useful way to read the specification is as a combination of 24kW peak power, 410N·m of torque and 65kg of weight.
Together, those numbers describe a bike built to be very responsive under acceleration while staying light enough to manage on tight or technical trails.
The new motor and controller
The Light Bee 2 uses SUR-RON's EVO-2 motor paired with the new Bee Matrix controller.
Together, they form the new powertrain architecture behind the bike's 24kW peak output and 410N·m of wheel torque.
That's an important distinction from simply increasing the output of the existing Light Bee platform. The Light Bee 2 has been developed around a new powertrain system and the electronic controls needed to manage it.
Seven riding modes
The Light Bee 2 has seven riding modes:
- Eco: energy-conscious riding mode
- Daily: everyday riding mode
- Sport: sport riding mode
- M Custom: customisable riding mode
- Turbo: maximum-performance mode
- Crawl: controlled low-speed mode
- Reverse: reverse function
M Custom provides additional control over the bike's power characteristics, while the different riding modes allow riders to choose how the Light Bee 2 responds.
Having this range of modes on a bike this compact is one of the clearer signs of how much more sophisticated the Light Bee 2 is compared with the original Light Bee.
How far can the Light Bee 2 go?
SUR-RON quotes two range figures, each tied to a different test standard:
Up to 108km at a constant 40km/h, under SUR-RON's more practical testing standard.
Up to 160km at a constant 25km/h, under the industry's conventional testing standard.
These are manufacturer test figures, so actual range will vary depending on riding conditions.
Rider weight, speed, terrain, elevation, temperature, riding mode and throttle use can all affect how much energy the bike consumes.
Riding technical trails with frequent full-power use will use considerably more energy than travelling at a constant 25 or 40km/h.
Light Bee 2 battery
The Light Bee 2 uses a 78.54V, 45Ah battery with 3.53kWh of capacity.
SUR-RON describes the battery system as semi-solid-state technology, making it one of the major changes introduced with the new generation.
The battery sits at the centre of the Light Bee 2's performance equation, giving the new powertrain the energy capacity it needs while the complete motorcycle remains at a claimed 65kg.
SUR-RON's published charging figure for 20% to 80% is approximately 2 hours.
Charging time will still vary with battery temperature and charging conditions, so treat this as a published specification rather than a guaranteed time in every situation.
Suspension and chassis
The Light Bee 2 uses a forged aluminium alloy frame, with 215mm of front suspension travel and 220mm of rear wheel travel.
Ground clearance is rated at 280mm.
For UK off-road riding, ground clearance matters as much as the headline power figures. Roots, rocks and uneven ground put the underside of a bike at risk, and more clearance gives a rider more freedom to pick their line when the trail gets rough.
The suspension figures are also important because the Light Bee 2 has considerably more performance than the previous generation. The chassis and suspension need to work with that additional output rather than simply accommodate it.
Brakes
The Light Bee 2 uses opposed four-piston brake calipers, with a 220mm front disc and 203mm rear disc.
That's the sort of braking hardware you'd expect on a bike capable of 90km/h.
Off-road, consistent low-speed control matters just as much as stopping power from top speed, particularly when the terrain changes quickly.
Traction control
The Light Bee 2 has SRTC off-road traction control.
Electric motors deliver torque immediately, and on loose dirt, mud or changing surfaces, that can turn into wheelspin quickly without assistance.
Traction control doesn't replace good throttle control, but it gives the rider an additional electronic layer of control over the available power.
Wheels, tyres and seat height
The Light Bee 2 runs a 19-inch front wheel and 18-inch rear wheel, with 70/100-19 front and 3.00-18 rear tyres.
It's a familiar dirt-bike setup suited to the bike's off-road focus.
Seat height is 830mm, on a 1,280mm wheelbase.
Inseam length matters more than overall height when working out whether the bike will suit you, particularly for technical riding where you may need to put a foot down on uneven ground.
TFT display, GPS and smartphone connectivity
The Light Bee 2 uses a 2.86-inch TFT display, with GPS and smartphone app connectivity.
SUR-RON describes the model as having a brand-new cellphone app and control experience, adding a more connected interface to the Light Bee platform.
That gives the Light Bee 2 a significantly more modern electronic package than the basic display and controls associated with older generations.
How does the Light Bee 2 compare with the Light Bee X?
The Light Bee 2 introduces a substantially higher published power output than the Light Bee X, alongside a new motor, controller, battery and electronic systems.
Rather than asking which bike is simply "better", the more useful question is whether you need what the Light Bee 2 adds.
If you want a proven, simpler Light Bee platform, the Light Bee X remains worth considering.
If you want significantly more performance and the latest SUR-RON technology, the Light Bee 2 is the obvious step up.

Is the SUR-RON Light Bee 2 road legal in the UK?
Check the exact vehicle specification before assuming anything here.
The Light Bee 2 covered in this article is an off-road specification electric motorcycle, not a conventional EAPC electric bicycle.
For an electric bike to fall within the UK's EAPC rules, it needs pedals capable of propelling it, a motor with no more than 250W continuous rated power, and electrical assistance that cuts off at 15.5mph.
The Light Bee 2 is marketed by SUR-RON as an off-road electric motorcycle, and its published specification is not that of a conventional EAPC electric bicycle.
Don't assume an off-road Light Bee 2 can be ridden on UK public roads as an electric bicycle. Different requirements can apply to vehicles classified as motorcycles or mopeds, including approval, registration, tax, licensing, insurance and helmet requirements.
UK legal note: The Light Bee 2 is an off-road motorcycle in the specification covered here. Road use depends on the exact vehicle approval and registration status. Always confirm the exact specification Go Off Road Barnsley is stocking and check current UK requirements before using any Light Bee 2 on public roads.
Where can you ride the Light Bee 2?
Think private land, dedicated off-road tracks and riding facilities where you have permission to ride.
Don't assume an off-road electric motorcycle can be used on a public road, cycle path, bridleway or other public route just because it doesn't have a petrol engine.
Always check the rules for the land or facility before riding.
Is the Light Bee 2 worth buying?
On paper, the Light Bee 2 makes the strongest case for riders who want maximum performance without moving to a much heavier electric motorcycle.
If you want an inexpensive way into electric off-road riding, the Light Bee X remains worth considering.
If your priority is performance without a big weight penalty, the Light Bee 2 is a different proposition entirely: a 24kW powertrain and 3.53kWh battery, traction control and a more sophisticated electronic package, all inside a 65kg motorcycle.
Our Go Off Road verdict
The Light Bee concept has always worked because it's small, light and easy to manoeuvre.
The challenge with adding this much power is keeping those qualities intact.
On the figures SUR-RON has published, the Light Bee 2 does exactly that: 24kW, 410N·m, 90km/h and 65kg.
The new EVO-2 motor and Bee Matrix powertrain sit at the heart of the performance increase, while the 3.53kWh battery and expanded electronic controls give the Light Bee 2 a very different specification from the previous generation.
For UK buyers, the open question is still availability.
Go Off Road Barnsley currently lists the Light Bee 2 at £4,495, with final UK pricing, specification, colours and availability still being confirmed.
We'll keep this page updated as those details become official.
