Excellent demonstration of what the Storm Bee can do! Thanks for doing real jumps later in the video. Can the stock suspension hold up with some adjustments? The turbo button seems to give the bike the push needed for some jumps.
Great stuff, I would love to see a day riding casual enduro, and after you are finished tell us how many miles you were able to achieve and how much time you were able to ride for. I have a modified 72-volt Sur Ron model X and can get 1.5 - 2 hours of riding and a range of around low 20 miles on sandy singletrack. I wish it was more and am hoping the Storm bee can do more like 40 miles and 2.5-3 hours of riding. I got one on pre-order and should have it in February.
@@haydensmale4256 I have a feeling all three Sur ron models will be about the same, electriccyclerider did a range test on the ultra bee and it's about the same as the model x albeit with double the power. I'm guessing the US version of the Storm bee will be comparable to the ultra bee range. We'll see soon.
i’d say similar to a 250 but just a bit less power. there may be settings in the bike that i don’t know about yet that gives it more power but we’ll have to find out :)
@@nate0031 from my tests while riding with other people one charge is about 4lt of fuel. When I run out they still have about half a tank of fuel. On really technical stuff they get down to about 1/4 of a tank when I run out.
@@franciscoshi1968 That makes sense. I just meant from a pure energy content perspective. Like the Storm Bee's battery has about the same energy content as 0.1557 US gallons of gas. I guess that just highlights the huge difference in efficiency. Honestly for the limitations in size/weight on a bike, half to three quarters of the range on that seems pretty decent. Pretty well covers the riding I'd do.
@@nate0031 I would like to have more range. On the hard technical rides everyone is buggered by the time I run flat. The solution would be to have two batteries and swap half way thru the ride. So far the benefits do outweigh the shortcomings. I am hoping for better batteries to arrive. There are some starting production (not available for us unfortunately) that have twice the energy density. That would mean one charge is equivalent to one tank of fuel. On the open tracks the electric is a problem. The battery runs down too quick.
The e-bike race scene could be massive and bring in new riders creating a whole new generation of motor sports. The perks + no stressful 4 stroke rebuild dilemmas, no tuning or air filter changing/cleaning ( a problem for people who aren't mechanically minded ) + they aren't super loud meaning the e-bike supercross/motocross scene could make tracks in central areas of towns/cities and run day/night events without a community whining about noise. + no petroleum emissions ( will align with global government environmental policies and by doing so the perks would result in big government/private sector investments ) + upkeep cost would be much less long term The cons - tracks would need solar charge points, you'd need spare batteries or a diesel generator lmao - charge time - battery life could be questionable meaning you might have to test the battery constantly ( a problem for anything electric based ) - may take some hours to get used too compared to say a 450f or 250cc two stroke due to instant torque power
YESS! Enjoyed watching this so much, hope you do more MX track videos in the future whether it's electric or petrol bikes.
so glad you enjoyed! for sureee will make more moto track videos 🤝
think my parents are getting me this!! so dope, your videos are sick!
You’re gonna love it! So sick man!
Thanks for the ride-along! Exhilarating
no problem! 🤝

Sick riding! Love your videos man 👍
LOVE this!! Please please do a laptime comparison vs a petrol bike!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Unfortunately I don’t have the bike anymore :( only had it for a couple weeks to shoot videos with
Wow, so between this bike and the Stark Varg, we have some real choices for the MX tracks. Thanks for the video!
Yeah! I mean the stark varg I imagine would blow this out of the water from what I’ve seen😅
How many hours did it last? Think I want one!!! Would be good to have one and a 2 banger to be carbon neutral
Great Video
Yooo such a sick video Jesse!
thanks logan! 🤞
very sick video! engaging the whole way through
ayyyy thanks brother 🤝❤️
been waiting for this one haha ur riding is crazy good bro would love to see u take ur 125 there for a comparison
thank you bro! 🤝 definitely!
Would love to know how it compares to a 125

thanksss man! i have actually uploaded some normal enduro riding and when riding trails it definitely does last a lot longer :)
storm bee is bad range, ultra bee will have more

@@haydensmale4256 bro storm bee has more than ultra bee
@@JayJankulovskiwe need numbers. You could save me 12 grand.
Sick video 🤙🏽 Keen to see more content 🔥
Awesome vid Jesse
❤️❤️❤️
Those jumps look small around 07:50, is that the track, the angle it's filmed, or the bike?
Amazing… thanks… yes more eMx track videos would be cool… 🎉
thank youuu!
How's the suspension?
whats the power euivelent to more a 250f or a 450?
i’d say similar to a 250 but just a bit less power. there may be settings in the bike that i don’t know about yet that gives it more power but we’ll have to find out :)
I tried today in Netherlands but when the track is to soft it really eat the battery
Wish you could turn turbo mode on full time.
My parents are keen on getting me this
How much fuel would a petrol bike use for the same amount of riding as one charge?
The Storm Bee's Battery is about the equivalent of 0.1557 US gallons of gas.
@@nate0031 from my tests while riding with other people one charge is about 4lt of fuel.
When I run out they still have about half a tank of fuel. On really technical stuff they get down to about 1/4 of a tank when I run out.

Can't wait for the street legal version
2 hours of riding your first day on one charge. Did it last a little less time on the next time you came out when you were riding it harder?
yes it did drain the battery a little bit quicker
😮omg lol😂
I must have this bike how much?
$8,500 USD
Oiiiyah
😁
The e-bike race scene could be massive and bring in new riders creating a whole new generation of motor sports.
The perks
+ no stressful 4 stroke rebuild dilemmas, no tuning or air filter changing/cleaning ( a problem for people who aren't mechanically minded )
+ they aren't super loud meaning the e-bike supercross/motocross scene could make tracks in central areas of towns/cities and run day/night events without a community whining about noise.
+ no petroleum emissions ( will align with global government environmental policies and by doing so the perks would result in big government/private sector investments )
+ upkeep cost would be much less long term
The cons
- tracks would need solar charge points, you'd need spare batteries or a diesel generator lmao
- charge time
- battery life could be questionable meaning you might have to test the battery constantly ( a problem for anything electric based )
- may take some hours to get used too compared to say a 450f or 250cc two stroke due to instant torque power
