The 2026 Sur-Ron Hyper Bee 8kW has been comprehensively redesigned, bringing significantly more performance, improved suspension and advanced rider technology to Sur-Ron's compact off-road platform.
At the heart of the MY26 Hyper Bee is a new 8kW longitudinal power system producing up to 185 N·m of torque at the rear wheel. Power is delivered through a redesigned high-strength gearbox, with acceleration from 0–31mph in just 2.59 seconds and a maximum speed of up to 40mph.
A new 58V 22Ah lithium-ion battery provides a claimed range of up to 35 miles when ridden at 25mph. The IP67-protected battery uses a redesigned quick-release system for easy removal, while charging from 20–80% takes approximately two hours.
Three selectable riding modes combine with an advanced MTPA/MTPV controller and adjustable throttle response, allowing the power delivery to be tailored to the rider and terrain. Adjustable regenerative braking provides further control, while Sur-Ron's SAWC anti-wheelie system offers three selectable intervention levels.
The suspension has also received a major upgrade. Fully adjustable 35mm inverted front forks offer 170mm of travel, while the adjustable air rear shock provides up to 185mm of rear-wheel travel. Dual-piston hydraulic brakes use a 180mm front and 160mm rear disc for strong, progressive braking.
The standard MY26 Hyper Bee runs a 14-inch front and 12-inch rear off-road wheel combination. An adjustable seat height between 665 and 705mm, compact dimensions and a kerb weight of just 39kg help retain the lightweight, manoeuvrable character that makes the Hyper Bee so accessible.
Technology includes T-Box connectivity with the Sur-Ron app, a multi-function dashboard, tilt protection, throttle protection, safety start and an intelligent battery-management system. The result is a substantially more powerful and sophisticated Hyper Bee while retaining its compact off-road dimensions.
