Surron® Announces U.S. Release of 2023 Storm Bee Electric Off-Road Motorcycle
DIAN Inc., distributor for Surron electric motorcycles in the U.S. & Canada, is excited to announce the official release of the long-anticipated 2023 Storm Bee F electric off-road motorcycle to market.
Following the explosive popularity of the exciting Light Bee X model, Surron and DIAN are thrilled to bring the full-size Storm Bee to eager enthusiasts. Designed with the casual off-road rider in mind, the Storm Bee F comes with an MSRP of $8,499 in the U.S. and $10,999 in Canada. Pre-ordering is now available via Surron’s robust dealer network, with first deliveries expected at dealerships by February of 2023.
To celebrate the Storm Bee’s release, the first 100 customers to place a $500 deposit at their local dealer by Oct. 31 will receive a Storm Bee gift pack ($200 value) and be among the first customers in the country to own a coveted production Storm Bee.
The Storm Bee F utilizes a liquid-cooled, brushless electric motor powered by a 104V/55Ah battery pack. Boasting 22.5 kW of peak power and 520 Nm of torque, the Storm Bee offers instant acceleration at the twist of the throttle and a top speed of 68 mph (110 km/h). The battery capacity allows a maximum range of 75 miles (120 km) on a full charge, with a recharge time of 3-4 hours via a conventional 120V wall outlet.
What truly sets the Storm Bee apart in the off-road world is its onboard electronics suite, which includes traction control, regenerative “engine” braking, 3 riding modes and a turbo button for a short, quick boost of extra power. Settings can be fine-tuned by the rider via the LCD dash and handlebar-mounted controls. Further setting the Storm Bee apart from crowd is a reverse gear, allowing riders to maneuver out of tricky situations with the push of a button.
The adjustable suspension is plush yet capable of tackling difficult terrain via 11.4 inches of travel front and back. The lack of a clutch means no shifting gears, thus simplifying the riding experience. An exclusive feature on North American Storm Bee F models is the inclusion of both a headlight and number plate, giving customers the ability to alternate based on rider preference and environments.
Like the Light Bee X, the Storm Bee’s electric motor produces zero emissions and an almost-silent ride. For more info, full specifications, photos and a list of dealers, visit our Storm Bee model page here.
