How to Get the Best Performance From Your Surron Ultra Bee
Posted by The Custom Moto Crew on Dec 23rd 2024
If you've been winding through canyons or cruising the streets on your Surron Ultra Bee, you already know it’s an impressive machine. With its powerful electric motor and sharp handling, it’s built for versatile, adrenaline-fueled rides. But here’s the secret every Surron owner should know—it’s possible to make this electric beast even better.
Whether you’re chasing higher top speeds, seeking better off-road performance, or simply looking to push its limits, strategic upgrades can elevate your Surron Ultra Bee to a whole new level. Below, we’ll dive into the best upgrades to help you unlock peak performance.
Upgrade #1: Sprockets and Chains for Customized Riding Style
Why This Matters
Your riding style and terrain dictate the type of performance you’ll need from your Surron. Whether you prioritize top speed or rugged trail-climbing torque, upgrading your sprockets and chains is the key to optimizing your Surron Ultra Bee for the job.
Sprocket Upgrades
- For Top Speed: Swap to a smaller rear sprocket to reduce resistance, allowing your bike to hit its ultra bee top speed. Perfect for flat terrain and road riders who crave that high-velocity rush.
- For Torque and Trails: If hills and off-road adventures are your thing, opt for a larger front sprocket. It provides more torque, helping you power over steep climbs and rough surfaces with ease.
Heavy-Duty Chains
Upgraded sprockets demand chains that can handle the increased torque. Reinforced heavy-duty chains are a must—they’ll prevent the dreaded "snap" and ensure durability under heavier loads.
Upgrade #2: Power Kits for Maximum Torque and Speed
Why Power Kits Matter
If you crave hair-raising acceleration or higher top speeds, a power kit should be your first stop. By enhancing the Surron Ultra Bee's motor output, you can take your e-bike from capable to utterly dominant.
High-Performance Motor Controllers
Think of the motor controller as your Surron’s brain—it manages how power flows to the motor. Swapping out the stock controller for an advanced one can drastically improve your acceleration and efficiency. Popular options like the ASI BAC8000 are tried and tested among Surron enthusiasts for unlocking massive torque gains.
Battery Upgrades
Even the best motors need a solid power source to shine. Upgrading to a larger-capacity lithium-ion battery keeps your rides powerful and consistent, especially on long-distance adventures. Bigger batteries not only extend the Surron Ultra Bee’s range but also prevent voltage sag, ensuring steady performance when you’re putting the hammer down.
Upgrade #3: Wheels and Tires for Off-Road Adventures
Why This Matters
While the Ultra Bee already comes equipped with off-road tires, you might want to take your adventures to the pavement. Upgrading to street-specific supermoto wheels and tires transforms your ride, providing smoother handling, better grip on asphalt, and improved performance for urban environments. Whether you're commuting or carving up city streets, this upgrade makes your Ultra Bee a true dual-purpose machine.
Tire Recommendations
If you're looking to tailor your Ultra Bee to specific riding conditions, here are a few street-oriented options to consider:
- Warp 9 Supermoto Wheels: These wheels are designed to maximize street performance with durable construction and excellent handling. Perfect for riders seeking top-tier quality.
- Surron Ultra Bee Front and Rear Wheels: Individual options allow you to customize or replace specific wheels. Starting at $369, they provide a cost-effective way to upgrade.
- Pre-Built Surron Wheels: Ready-to-ship options like the Warp 9 Surron/Talaria wheels ensure convenience and reliability, available in 21-inch designs for added versatility.

Upgrade #4: Suspension for Rugged Terrain Handling
Why This Matters
Revving up your Surron Ultra Bee for aggressive trail riding? A high-performance suspension setup can make all the difference. It takes the edge off bumpy trails, allowing a smoother ride while keeping your bike planted in the trickiest sections.
Performance Shocks
- Upgrading to heavy-duty shocks like Fox Float X or RockShox Monarch Plus allows you to absorb significant impacts without compromising control. Whether you’re tackling rocky slopes or jumping off ledges, quality suspension smooths everything out and feels like riding on clouds.
Customizable suspension systems also allow you to tweak settings to match your riding preferences, giving you the ultimate personalized trail experience.
Push the Limits With Confidence
The Surron Ultra Bee is an exhilarating electric bike straight out of the box. But with these upgrades, you can fine-tune it to your unique riding needs and take its performance to extraordinary levels.
Remember, a great bike deserves great components. Why settle for ordinary when you can transform your Surron into an unstoppable force?
