What a week. Fieldays 2026 has wrapped, and for the third year running, Surron New Zealand was right in the thick of it at Site F28. Our message this year was simple, and it was on every banner across our stand: it's the farm bike that always starts. From kids grinning ear to ear on the Hyper Bee display to seasoned farmers sizing up the Ultra Bee for their back paddocks, this was our biggest and best Fieldays yet.
Mystery Creek turned on the crowds, the test track barely had a quiet moment, and the conversations we had with Kiwi farmers reminded us exactly why we do this. Here is a look back at the highlights.

Parked Up With Ford
One of the standout moments this year was our partnership with Ford. Our bikes sat loaded in the back of the Ford Ranger fleet on display, and the pairing just made sense. The ute that gets you to the farm, and the electric bike that gets you around it.
Farmers walking the Ford stand would do a double take, wander over, and before long they were asking how a Surron would fit into their daily routine. It was the perfect picture of how modern farm transport is changing, and a lot of people stopped just to see the two together.

The Next Generation Loved the Hyper Bee
If you walked past our stand at any point, chances are you saw a few young riders sitting proudly on the Hyper Bee, grinning for the camera. On display as a demo this year, the Hyper Bee was a magnet for the younger crowd, and watching the kids light up when they hopped on was a genuine highlight of the week.
Parents loved it too. More than a few mums and dads stood by filming, asking about safety features, ride modes, and how the Hyper Bee could be the perfect first bike for a farm kid learning the ropes. Designed with safety front and centre, it is built to be safe, controllable, and an absolute blast once they are ready to ride.

Farmers Got Serious About the Ultra Bee and Light Bee
This is where things got really exciting. Farmer after farmer climbed onto the Ultra Bee and the Light Bee, and you could see the wheels turning. These are not toys. They are serious working machines, and the people who run land for a living recognised that straight away.
The Ultra Bee drew a crowd with its power and range, perfect for the bigger blocks and tougher terrain. Meanwhile the Light Bee won people over with how nimble and easy it is to handle, ideal for quick jobs, checking stock, and zipping around the farm without the noise, fuel, or fuss of a traditional farm bike.
The questions we heard most? How far does it go on a charge. How much does it cost to run. How does it handle hills and mud. And our favourite, where is my nearest dealer. That last one tells us everything. Kiwi farmers are ready for electric, and they want to know how to make it part of their operation.

The Bigger Picture
Every Fieldays we come away more convinced that electric is the future of farm transport in New Zealand. This year that future felt closer than ever. The interest was not curiosity anymore. It was farmers genuinely planning how a Surron fits into their day-to-day.
And the timing makes sense. With fuel prices climbing and showing no signs of easing, the running costs of a traditional petrol farm bike keep stacking up. Every litre adds up across a season, and farmers are feeling it. A Surron flips that equation. Charge it overnight for a few cents, skip the servicing, and forget the fuel runs altogether. For a lot of the farmers we spoke to, the maths is starting to speak for itself.
From the young riders discovering the Hyper Bee to the farmers eyeing up an Ultra Bee for the back blocks, Fieldays 2026 showed us that the appetite for a better farm bike is real, and it is growing fast.
To everyone who stopped by Site F28, took a test ride, asked a question, or just came to say hello, thank you. You made this one unforgettable. And to our partners at Ford, thank you for a partnership that turned heads all week.
