Sur-Ron Light Bee X NA 2026 — 10 kW Electric Off-Road Dirt Bike
The 2026 Sur-Ron Light Bee X NA (MY26) is the most powerful Light Bee X ever built. Peak power rises from 8 kW to 10 kW, wheel torque climbs to 295 Nm, and a new 72V 35Ah (2.5 kWh) removable battery delivers up to 75 km of range and a top speed of 80 km/h — all on a forged aluminium double-cradle frame weighing just 59 kg. With two-level Sur-Ron Wheelie Control, five-level energy recovery, forged four-piston brakes and app connectivity via the built-in T-Box, this electric dirt bike is built for everyone from first-time trail riders to experienced off-road racers. Available now in Carbon Black, White, Sage Green and Purple from Inner City Scooters, Dublin — delivering across Ireland and the EU.
What's new on the 2026 Light Bee X NA
Sur-Ron has spent almost a decade refining the Light Bee, and the MY26 "NA" model is the biggest step yet. Compared with the 2025 Light Bee X (8 kW, 60V 40Ah, 57 kg) you get 25% more peak power, a higher-voltage 72V electrical system, 295 Nm at the rear wheel (up from 266 Nm), a stronger double-cradle forged frame, integrated forged four-piston brakes, the Intersect TR rear suspension, an emergency brake flash and — for the first time on a Light Bee — two-level Wheelie Control, five-level energy recovery and full Sur-Ron App connectivity through the built-in T-Box. Kerb weight stays at just 59 kg, so the bike keeps the light, playful character that made the Light Bee a worldwide off-road icon.
Performance redefined — 0–50 km/h in 2.5 seconds
The 10 kW high-performance mid-drive motor and Sur-Ron's self-developed MTPA/MTPV FOC intelligent controller make thousands of adjustments every second, precisely matching throttle input to motor output. The result is smooth, predictable power at low speed and ferocious acceleration when you open it up.
High-performance motor, FOC controller and 72V battery
10 kW mid-drive motor
The permanent-magnet synchronous (PMSM) mid-drive motor delivers 10 kW of peak power and 295 Nm of torque at the rear wheel — up from 8 kW on the 2025 model — for stronger acceleration without sacrificing controllability. Drive is through a primary belt and secondary chain.
FOC intelligent controller
Sur-Ron's self-developed MTPA/MTPV FOC controller makes thousands of calculations per second for smooth, precise and predictable throttle response. Choose from three throttle response levels and Sport or Eco riding modes to suit the terrain and your ability.
72V 35Ah lithium battery
The removable 72V 35Ah pack stores 2.5 kWh of energy for up to 75 km of range at a steady 40 km/h, charges from 20–80% in around 2.15 hours, and is protected by intelligent battery management, IP67 sealing and 50G shock resistance.
Battery safety, never compromised
Premium UL-certified cells
High-rate cells from top-tier global suppliers, all of which have passed rigorous UL certification standards.
Intelligent BMS
An automotive-grade battery management system monitors every cell's status, pushing performance to the limit while never crossing safety lines.
IP67 waterproof, 50G shock resistant
An aluminium shell optimises durability and heat dissipation, while IP67 waterproofing and 50G shock resistance ensure failure-free performance in mud, rain and extreme environments.
100,000 km+ extreme testing
Validated over 18 months and 100,000 km of road testing, the battery has passed 200+ safety evaluations to meet UN38.3, MSDS, CE and RoHS standards.
Safe, efficient fast charging
Charge from 20% to 80% in approximately 2.15 hours. Real-time temperature and voltage monitoring prevent overheating, making fast charging worry-free.
Sur-Ron App via T-Box
Connect over Bluetooth to adjust Wheelie Control, energy recovery and throttle response, run diagnostics, update firmware and lock the bike electronically.
Light. Rigid. Stable.
The lighter the bike, the wilder the ride. Built around a 59 kg kerb-weight platform with a compact, centralised centre of gravity, the Light Bee X NA 2026 stays agile, stable and easy to control. The forged aluminium alloy double-cradle frame combines high structural rigidity with controlled flex, supporting precise handling across rough terrain, while the forged aluminium swingarm, 830 mm seat height, 1255 mm wheelbase and 270 mm ground clearance let you thread through tight singletrack and clear rocks and roots without a second thought.
More travel. More traction.
The Light Bee X NA 2026 pairs a 200 mm-travel inverted front fork with the fully adjustable Intersect TR multi-link rear suspension, helping the bike maintain traction, stability and control across rough and uneven ground.
Intersect TR rear suspension
The Intersect TR multi-link system works with a fully adjustable reservoir shock (85 mm stroke) and a high-strength alloy spring. Its damping is tuned specifically for the Light Bee platform, keeping traction consistent and control predictable.
200 mm front fork travel
The inverted front fork provides 200 mm of effective travel to absorb heavy impacts while maintaining smooth compression and rebound. Reinforced mounting points and improved sealing add durability and protection against dust and debris.
All-new Sur-Ron Wheelie Control
The new two-level Sur-Ron Wheelie Control helps riders manage front-wheel lift with greater consistency and confidence. Settings are adjusted through the Sur-Ron App so the response can be matched to rider ability and conditions.
- Learning Mode (L1) — holds the front wheel in a gentler 15°–30° window for riders learning to loft the front.
- Advanced Mode (L2) — allows a 30°–55° window for experienced riders when the required operating conditions are met.
- Five-level energy recovery — dial regenerative braking from light to strong to suit descents and extend range.
- Electronic auto-parking, gyroscope tilt protection, brake override and side-stand protection come as standard.
Stronger stopping. Clearer warning.
Integrated forged four-piston brakes
Enlarged pistons, reinforced brake lines and a stronger caliper structure apply consistent pressure across the pads, giving powerful, predictable hydraulic disc braking front and rear across changing terrain.
Emergency brake flash
Under hard braking the rear LED light flashes rapidly to alert following riders — an extra layer of visibility and safety when riding in a group.

FAQ about the Sur-Ron Light Bee X NA 2026
Is the Sur-Ron Light Bee X NA 2026 road-legal in Ireland?
No. The Light Bee X NA is a 10 kW, 80 km/h electric off-road bike supplied for off-road and private-land use only. It is not type-approved, taxed or registered for public roads, so it must not be ridden on public roads, footpaths or cycle lanes in Ireland. Ride only on private land or sanctioned off-road areas with permission.
What's the difference between the 2026 Light Bee X NA and the 2025 Light Bee X?
The 2026 NA model moves from 8 kW to 10 kW peak power, from a 60V 40Ah to a 72V 35Ah (2.5 kWh) battery, and from 266 Nm to 295 Nm of wheel torque. It also adds a forged double-cradle frame, integrated four-piston brakes, two-level Wheelie Control, five-level energy recovery, an emergency brake flash and Sur-Ron App connectivity via the T-Box, while weighing only 2 kg more at 59 kg.
What real-world range can I expect?
Sur-Ron rates the 72V 35Ah battery at up to 75 km at a steady 40 km/h in Eco mode; hard Sport-mode riding typically returns around 40–60 km. Range depends on rider weight, terrain, temperature and how much throttle you use, and the five-level energy recovery helps claw some back on descents.
How long does it take to charge?
The battery charges from 20% to 80% in about 2.15 hours, and a full charge takes roughly 3–4 hours from a standard Irish/EU wall socket using the supplied charger. The pack is removable, so you can charge it indoors away from the bike.
Is it suitable for beginners?
Yes. Eco mode, three throttle response levels and the new Learning Mode (L1) Wheelie Control make the Light Bee X NA very approachable, while its 59 kg weight and 830 mm seat height keep it easy to handle. Sport mode and Advanced Mode (L2) unlock the full 10 kW for experienced riders.
Can it handle rain and mud?
The battery is IP67 sealed and 50G shock resistant, and the bike is built for mud, rain and rough trails. Avoid deep water crossings, submersion and pressure-washing the electrics, and dry the bike down after wet rides.
What warranty and support do you offer?
The Light Bee X NA 2026 comes with the standard Sur-Ron manufacturer warranty against defects, plus after-sales support, genuine spares and servicing from Inner City Scooters in Dublin. Please confirm the current warranty terms with us at the time of purchase.
