E Ride Pro SR VS Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
Quick Verdict
The Rundown
The E Ride Pro SR produces 25kW — double the Ultra Bee's 12.5kW — while weighing 48 lbs less and costing $800-$1,900 less. The SR hits 70 mph vs 56 mph on premium Samsung 50S cells with belt drive. The Ultra Bee carries a larger 4800Wh pack for slightly more raw capacity, but at 231 lbs with chain drive, it trades agility for bulk. The SR does more for less.

Key Differences
Power & Speed
E Ride Pro SR
25kW peak, 70 mph, 1.8s 0-30 mph
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
12.5kW peak, 56 mph top speed
The SR doubles the Ultra Bee's peak power output and reaches 14 mph higher top speed. Despite costing $800+ less and weighing 48 lbs less, the SR accelerates harder and pulls away at every speed. The Ultra Bee's 12.5kW is respectable, but the SR is in a different performance tier entirely.
Range & Battery
E Ride Pro SR
62-93 miles on 3600Wh Samsung 50S cells
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
40-65 miles on 4800Wh pack
The Ultra Bee has 33% more raw battery capacity (4800Wh vs 3600Wh), yet the SR delivers better range — 93 miles vs 65 miles at best case. The SR's Samsung 50S cells and lower weight translate to better efficiency per watt-hour. The Ultra Bee's extra capacity is consumed by pushing 231 lbs of bike. Both are full-day capable, but the SR goes further on less battery.
Weight & Handling
E Ride Pro SR
183 lbs — nimble with flagship power
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
231 lbs — heavy dual-sport platform
The SR is 48 lbs lighter than the Ultra Bee. That is a massive handling difference on trails, loading, and for riders under 180 lbs. The Ultra Bee feels like a small motorcycle — because it essentially is one. The SR handles like a performance dirt bike. Power-to-weight: SR at 137W/lb crushes the Ultra Bee's 54W/lb.
Ownership & Value
E Ride Pro SR
$5,699 with belt drive, premium cells, dealer warranty
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
$6,500-$7,600 with dual-sport features
The SR costs up to $1,900 less than the Ultra Bee while delivering 2x the power, better range efficiency, lighter weight, and belt drive. The Ultra Bee's premium price buys a larger battery and dual-sport features (lighting, mirrors) but does not buy more performance. For pure value, the SR wins decisively.
The Bottom Line
Our Pick: E Ride Pro SR
The SR is cheaper, lighter, more powerful, more efficient, and uses belt drive. The Ultra Bee's only real advantage — a larger battery — does not translate to more range. This is a clear win for the SR.
E Ride Pro SR
Get the SR if you want the best performance-per-dollar in electric dirt bikes — 2x the Ultra Bee's power at up to $1,900 less.
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
Get the Ultra Bee if you specifically need dual-sport road-legal features (lighting, mirrors) and prefer the Sur-Ron ecosystem for mixed street/trail commuting.
Service & Warranty
The SR ships with Send Bikes dealer warranty and support through Central Georgia Powersports. The Ultra Bee has a Sur-Ron factory warranty, but support quality depends heavily on which dealer you buy from. Parts availability for the Ultra Bee can be slower due to its newer platform.
Financing & Ownership
The SR is available through Terrace Finance and already costs less than the Ultra Bee at MSRP. Monthly payments on the SR are lower across every loan term. Factor in belt drive (zero maintenance) vs chain drive (regular adjustment and replacement on the Ultra Bee).
