After generating quite the buzz last year with its Light Bee X model of eBike, Surron says the Storm Bee is set for 2023. “Pre-ordering is now available via Surron’s robust dealer network, with first deliveries expected at dealerships by February of 2023,” says Graeme Jones, Director of Marketing for Surron Canada/USA | DIAN Motors Inc. However, they are already incentivizing customers to get their orders into local dealers with a number of specialized promotions, including the first 100 customers to place a $500 deposit at their local dealer will receive a Storm Bee gift pack ($200 value).
The Storm Bee utilizes a liquid-cooled, brushless electric motor powered by a 104V/55Ah battery pack. “Boasting 22.5 kW of peak power and 520 Nm of torque, the Storm Bee offers instant acceleration at the twist of the throttle and a top speed of 68 mph,” claims Jones. The battery capacity allows a maximum range of 75 miles on a full charge, with a recharge time of 3-4 hours via a conventional 120V wall outlet.
“What truly sets the Storm Bee apart in the off-road world is its onboard electronics suite, which includes traction control, regenerative “engine” braking, 3 riding modes and a turbo button for a quick boost of extra power,” he adds. Settings can be fine-tuned via the LCD dash and handlebar-mounted controls. Further setting the Storm Bee apart from the crowd is a reverse gear, allowing riders to maneuver out of tricky situations with the push of a button.
Designed with the casual off-road rider in mind, the Storm Bee F comes with an MSRP of $8,499. Interested in becoming a dealer in advance of AIMExpo 2023? Get the holeshot here:
