Key Differences
Power & Speed
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
12.5kW peak, 56 mph, street-legal options
E Ride Pro SS 2.0
12kW peak, 60 mph top speed
The Ultra Bee has a marginal 4% power edge (12.5kW vs 12kW), but the SS 2.0 actually reaches a higher top speed — 60 mph vs 56 mph. The SS 2.0's lighter weight means its power-to-weight ratio is dramatically better: 86W/lb vs 54W/lb. On the trail, the SS 2.0 feels noticeably quicker despite near-identical peak output.
Range & Battery
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
40-65 miles with dual-use capability
E Ride Pro SS 2.0
50-90 miles on 2880Wh pack, 2hr fast charge
The SS 2.0 delivers 25 more miles at best case. Its 2880Wh battery and lighter weight both contribute to better efficiency. The 2-hour fast charge (20-90%) means you can top up during a lunch break. The Ultra Bee's heavier frame draws more energy per mile.
Weight & Handling
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
231 lbs — planted feel at highway speeds
E Ride Pro SS 2.0
139 lbs — 92 lbs lighter, trail-nimble
This is the defining difference. The SS 2.0 is 92 lbs lighter — nearly 40% less weight. That's the difference between a bike you can easily load solo and one that needs help. On the trail, the SS 2.0 is in a completely different agility class. The Ultra Bee's weight provides stability at road speeds, but it's a liability off-road.
Ownership & Value
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
$6,500-$7,600 with street-legal registration option
E Ride Pro SS 2.0
$4,599 with belt drive, dealer warranty, financing
The SS 2.0 saves you $2,000 to $3,000 upfront while delivering comparable power, more range, and belt drive. The Ultra Bee's premium buys you street-legal options and a dual-use platform. If you need highway capability, the Ultra Bee justifies its price. For off-road and trail use, the SS 2.0 is dramatically better value.
The Bottom Line
Our Pick: E Ride Pro SS 2.0
The SS 2.0 delivers 96% of the Ultra Bee's peak power at 60% of the weight and 60-70% of the price. The Ultra Bee only wins if you specifically need street-legal registration.
Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
Get the Ultra Bee if you need street-legal registration, highway use, or want a dual-purpose on-road/off-road platform. Be prepared for the 231 lb weight.
E Ride Pro SS 2.0
Get the SS 2.0 if you want the same power class at 92 lbs lighter, $2,000+ cheaper, with belt drive, more range, and dealer warranty through Send Bikes.
Service & Warranty
The SS 2.0 ships with Send Bikes dealer warranty through Central Georgia Powersports. The Ultra Bee's warranty depends on your Sur-Ron dealer. Parts availability for the Ultra Bee can be inconsistent at some locations.
Financing & Ownership
The SS 2.0 can be financed through Terrace Finance — at $2,000+ less than the Ultra Bee, monthly payments are significantly lower. The SS 2.0's belt drive also eliminates ongoing chain maintenance costs that the Ultra Bee's chain drive requires.
