2026 Sur-Ron Light Bee L1E 10KW
Description
The 2026 Sur-Ron Light Bee L1E 10kW takes the latest Light Bee platform and equips it for fully road-legal use while retaining the lightweight handling and responsive electric performance the range is known for.
Its high-performance PMSM mid-drive motor produces up to 10kW and 295 N·m of torque at the rear wheel, managed by Sur-Ron’s MTPA/MTPV FOC controller for smooth and predictable throttle response. The road-legal L1E version has a maximum speed of 28mph.
Power comes from a 72V 35Ah lithium-ion battery with 2.5kWh of energy capacity, intelligent battery management and IP67 protection. Sur-Ron quotes a maximum range of up to 46.6 miles when ridden at 24.9mph, with a 20–80% charging time of approximately 2.15 hours.
The bike uses a 19-inch front and 18-inch rear wheel combination, with 200mm of front fork travel and Sur-Ron’s fully adjustable Intersect TR rear suspension system. This setup is designed to provide stable, predictable handling across road and mixed-surface riding.
Integrated forged opposed four-piston brakes provide strong stopping performance, while an emergency brake flash automatically warns following road users during heavy braking.
The L1E also includes two-level Sur-Ron Wheelie Control, five levels of energy recovery, electronic auto-parking, tilt protection, brake override protection and side-stand protection. Sur-Ron App connectivity is provided through the integrated T-Box.
At 62kg kerb weight, with an 830mm seat height and 100kg carrying capacity, the Light Bee L1E remains compact and manageable while adding the equipment required for road use.
The Light Bee L1E 10kW MY26 is supplied as a road-legal model and must be registered, insured and ridden in accordance with the applicable UK licensing and road-use requirements.
