Electric mobility continues to reshape how riders move through the backcountry, and Surron’s new Hunter Edition camo models take that shift into real-world utility. Built on the proven Light Bee X and Ultra Bee HP platforms, these machines introduce rugged camouflage bodywork and functional upgrades designed for hunters, landowners, and riders who need more than performance alone, they need purpose.
The question is simple. Do these camo variants live up to the demands of serious field use?
We put both models under the microscope.
Design and Hunter Edition Details
Under the new camo plastics, the bikes retain Surron’s signature forged aluminium frames. They are lightweight, rigid, and capable of handling repeated punishment. Riders familiar with the standard models will notice immediate improvements in practicality.
The Hunter Editions add:
-
Camouflage bodywork suited to bush, paddocks, and scrub
-
Rear utility racks for packs, fencing tools, recovery gear, or small game
-
Ergonomic contact points suited to boots, gloves, and outdoor gear
-
Quiet electric operation that naturally suits hunting use
A special thank you goes to Action Equipment, who prepared these early units and helped get them into the hands of real riders for testing.
Light Bee X Hunter Edition: The Quiet Scout
The 2025 Light Bee X Hunter Edition is the lighter, more agile option in the range. It shares the same mechanical foundations as the standard Light Bee X but gains upgraded aesthetics and a practical rear rack.
Key Specifications:
-
Peak Power: 8 kW
-
Weight: approx. 57 kg
-
Battery: 60V 40Ah removable lithium-ion
-
Top Speed: around 75 km/h
-
Range: roughly 70 to 75 km depending on terrain
-
Wheel Torque: up to 260 N·m
On tight tracks and ridgelines, the Light Bee X feels effortless. The low weight makes it easy to reposition by hand, lift over obstacles, or move quietly through uneven terrain. The removable battery means overnight charging is simple, with no fuel cans, no noise, and no warm-up time.
The rear rack turns the Light Bee X from a pure sport machine into a practical tool. For daypacks, jackets, small gear, or supplies, it carries well without upsetting the balance.

Ultra Bee HP Hunter Edition
The Ultra Bee HP takes everything the Light Bee offers and scales it up with significantly more power, more range, and a heavier-duty chassis. It is the strongest Hunter Edition option for riders covering longer distances or hauling more equipment.
Key Specifications:
-
Peak Power: 21 kW (Turbo Mode)
-
Continuous Power: approx. 18 kW
-
Top Speed: around 95 km/h
-
Battery: 74V 60Ah
-
Range: up to 115 km at a steady pace
-
Wheel Torque: up to 511 N·m
-
Weight: approx. 88.5 kg
Its upgraded suspension, strengthened components, and advanced ride modes make it a legitimate replacement for mid-range petrol trail bikes. Turbo mode is more power than many hunters will ever need, but it is there for steep climbs, deep ruts, or when carrying extra weight on the rear rack.
The Ultra Bee HP’s expanded utility rack offers meaningful carrying capacity, ideal for heavier packs, supplies, or equipment.

Field Feedback: Tested by Hunters
Silence matters.
Electric torque without engine noise allows quieter transitions between locations.
Weight and balance feel natural.
The Light Bee X behaves like a heavy-duty mountain bike. The Ultra Bee HP behaves like a mid-size enduro bike.
Charging suits the lifestyle.
Most hunters finish the day and charge the bike overnight, removing the need for fuel storage or engine maintenance.
Interest from the hunting community has grown rapidly. The camo finish gives these bikes more than visual appeal. It supports a clear purpose.
Final Thoughts
The Hunter Editions push Surron’s electric lineup into genuine utility territory. The Light Bee X excels as a nimble scouting machine. The Ultra Bee HP provides significant power for more demanding hills, terrain, and load carrying.
They are not simply cosmetic releases. They are practical tools built for people who spend long days outdoors and need machines that are reliable, quiet, and economical to run.
