2025 Sur-Ron Hyper Bee 12/10 – Compact Power Meets Youthful Agility
The 2025 Sur-Ron Hyper Bee 12/10 is an exciting entry in the electric off-road segment, specifically tailored for younger or smaller riders. Combining Sur-Ron’s advanced electric powertrain technology with lightweight components and premium safety features, the Hyper Bee 12/10 is designed to introduce riders to off-road excitement without complexity or noise.
Design and Ergonomics
The Hyper Bee 12/10 is compact and lightweight, built on an aluminum alloy frame optimized for strength and low weight. With a curb weight of just around 38 kg (84 lbs), it’s extremely manageable for youth riders. The adjustable seat height (between 635 mm and 675 mm) makes it accessible for a wide range of rider sizes, offering both control and confidence on various terrain types.
Despite its small stature, the bike is engineered with a rugged stance, emphasizing durability and rider safety in real off-road conditions.
Motor and Performance
At the heart of the Hyper Bee 12/10 is a high-efficiency PMSM electric motor delivering peak output around 5 kW. It’s capable of producing impressive torque at the wheel—up to 159 Nm. With instant torque delivery, this bike can accelerate from 0 to 30 km/h in just under 2 seconds, giving riders a taste of real performance in a safe and manageable form.
The bike includes three riding modes (Eco, Sport, and Boost), and a reverse gear—rare in youth-focused models. Regenerative braking is also adjustable across three levels, giving riders control over how the bike slows down and recovers energy.
Battery and Charging
Powering the motor is a 50.4V 25Ah lithium-ion battery pack, using high-capacity 21700 cells. It’s designed for quick swapping and easy handling, with magnetic connectors allowing for rapid battery replacement in under 10 seconds.
On a full charge, riders can expect up to 50 km of range under moderate riding conditions. Charging from 20% to 80% takes roughly 2.5 hours with the standard charger, making it easy to fit in a top-up between trail sessions.
Suspension and Handling
Built for real-world off-road riding, the Hyper Bee 12/10 comes with a long-travel suspension system:
-
Front: 35 mm inverted fork with 170 mm travel
-
Rear: Air shock with 230 mm stroke and 185 mm rear wheel travel
The suspension is fully adjustable, offering rebound and compression tuning to match rider skill, weight, and terrain. The 12/10 wheel setup (60/100-12 front, 70/100-10 rear) ensures precise steering and grip on loose surfaces like dirt, sand, and gravel.
Braking and Safety
Sur-Ron equips the Hyper Bee with hydraulic disc brakes—dual-piston calipers on both front and rear wheels. The brakes are progressive and responsive, supported by protective rotor guards to reduce damage during trail use.
For safety, the bike includes:
-
Magnetic kill switch
-
Tilt and crash detection system
-
Remote-controlled power lock and emergency shut-off
These features help protect both the rider and the bike in unexpected scenarios, especially for newer or younger off-road enthusiasts.
Who It’s For
The 2025 Sur-Ron Hyper Bee 12/10 is ideal for:
-
Youth riders transitioning from balance bikes or small gas-powered pit bikes
-
Smaller adults or beginners looking for a lightweight trail machine
-
Families looking to introduce electric off-road riding in a safe, quiet, and clean way
Its lightweight frame, intuitive controls, and reliable power delivery make it an excellent introduction to high-performance electric off-roading.
