- Join us was we head to Glen Helen for a private track day!
Zay Solis has switched the fork on his Surron Light Bee from a KTM 85 fork to the EXT Ferro.
We decided to take this fork and put it onto a bike that the geometry fits better! Come for a ride with Zay as he rides the Surron Ultra Bee for the first time!
Thank you to Glen Helen Race way and AME Minicross for the private track day! - Розваги
That thing looks good im jealous
Very nice rig. As others have said, it would be nice to have a complete breakdown of the build and challenges hopefully that is coming...looks to have an aftermarket seat, bars, plastics etc..
Nope factory seat, plastics minus number plate and front fender which came with the fork. EBMX x9000 controller, and EbMX motor, ODI bars, EXT Rea rear shock, billet sprocket, pegs, KTM 85 forks specially coated, SXS skid plate
@@surronsd Thanks for the breakdown. It would make sense that the fork, triple, number plate and fender would be off the 85. Makes it look more like an ICE 125.
Our next video we dive into the pros/cons of installing a KTM fork on an Ultra Bee as well as paying for suspension tuning, hopefully this answers a lot of your questions. Thanks!
100% I want one!
Now we need for ebmx to make it a brand new bike with this drivetrain so we can have a 13 k bike instead of 20k
I want
Build cost with all upgrades (including the forks)?
over 15k i guess
Better buy a varg but the varg aint road legal, ultrabee is.
@@e-mike9776…..ugh. Almost two brand new 125’s right there.
@@Shecki603This can be tuned for more power than a 125, but yeah the Stark Varg with 80HP costing $13k is a better deal $ for HP.
Around 17-18k. Bike $6500, 80v battery 3800, EBMX motor 1400, x-9000 controller 1200, wheels and tires 980, sxs skid plate 135, forks 1500, bars and grips 100, billet sprocket 65, non oring roller chain 95, EXT Rea rear shock 1400
@@surronsd .....Insane.
What power level was the bike set to?
23kw
Is the front fender 85cc or 250cc?
the entire front end is from an 85cc
Damn the world is changing fast. This is the way. How much for all of that?
That setup is at least $15,000 😬
@@OffthevoltzThe stock bike is $6500 though and a great trail bike stock. Only mod I’d say is a must is a 21” front wheel which is $300. A maintenance free trail ripper for 7k is good.
For the money and MX use, the Stark Varg is a better bike than this modded Ultra Bee. Only reason to do all these mods is if you want a small bike or you just like doing mods.
@@Tazdeviloo7stark also doesn’t have a hot swapped battery
This exact bike is expensive, as it's modded all the way with $3000 Fork/wheel/brakes, $1400 shock, $1200 controller, $3700 battery and lots of other smaller upgrades. It's not for the faint of heart to build a bike like this. However if you're looking for a bike with incredible speed, suspension, range, and about 50 pounds lighter (and smaller) than a Stark Varg this is one way to do it. With that said, if your sole purpose is racing MX on an electric, the Varg is the way to go as it was purpose built for this without modifications and built to take the abuse of MX. BUT, if you are the off-road crowd we prefer Ultra Bee over the Varg for a lot of reasons and you don't have to spend as much as this bike to make the Ultra an incredible off-road bike. Most put 18/21 wheels on it and love it with no other mods. More videos coming soon about this, be sure to subscribe. :)
I want to buy those decals/plastics please! - where from??
We sell complete graphics and the black plastics on our website: chargedcycleworks.com/collections/surron-ultra-bee-upgrades
What exact fork is that on the Ultra Bee?
WP air fork from a KTM85. Yeah we made fun of the KYB sticker too….
@@BrianLampright913 Do they fit in the Surron triple or do you need to make other mods. Cheers and Thanks,
No, stay tuned for an ultra bee suspension video coming soon where we talk about all the options out there, pros/cons, and what’s coming in 2024 that is worth waiting for
You guys should start working with ERide Pro now.
We will be soon!
Why not buy a Stark Varg with that amount of money tied up in a Surron? More fun building your own creation possibly?
I have an ultra and started modding it, it honestly started innocently. First EBMX 9k, then thought why not a motor and I got sotion fw01 pro. Now I’m not using that motor to its potential so I want a battery. Voila now I’m in varg territory. But I tell you this I cannot ride the Varg the places I ride the ultra. The ultra is already a stretch. I will not disrespect vargs enginuity by riding a varg on city streets and occasional side walk not to ride at 45+mph to conserve battery. Although a varg is tenfold better that’s how you end up there. The biggest problem is price of the batteries, they are killing us. How is it you replace the battery of certain cars like hybrids that have much more kWh for similar prices.
@@Offthevoltz Did you see any benefits in power (low, mid high) torque/acceleration with just adding a new speed controller on stock motor setup? I have a surron X black and just broke a engine mount on the stock motor. I don't need all the upgrades to go 65+-70 mph (72 volt batt, speed controller) but if I'm going to have to buy a new motor at $700-$800 to have it repaired right then I would like to gain some more zip for that money. Not looking to spend the additional $1,600-2,000 on a more powerful battery. Am considering a upgrade speed controller and motor combo. Maybe like the KO Moto RS basic motor and controller. Now I'm seeing some negative reports on KO electronics?!?
@@GettingthruLife I can only speak for the ultra bee. I definitely feel the controller is extracting a bit more power from the battery. I can pop a wheelie at 20mph with stock it was 18mph, top speed is 59mph vs stock controller 56mph. I have not upgraded the battery and not sure if I will.
@@GettingthruLifewith just a controller swap, you can bump power up pretty considerably (16-17kw) with no need to bypass battery.
@@surronsd I was forced into buying a new motor, days ago, I don't know all there is to know about e-bike electric motors and controllers, so I bought the K.O. RS motor and Nano controller which seems fairly good. Sticking with stock battery due to all the add cost. I'm expecting at least more power with this setup but i'm not going crazy with speed. From what I've read the KO motors can push higher power for longer 10kw-12kw-15kw and higher rpm without wearing out as quickly. I broke a motor mount on my motor making one hard landing.
How can it be a full size bike when it has suspension and forks for a mini bike? lol
It’s not a full size bike it’s slightly smaller then a 125, weighs only 186lbs
That's right, and what many don't know is this is the same fork that is used on the KTM Freeride which is a very heavy bike (450 weight), the 43mm WP forks are excellent on a medium sized bike like the Ultra Bee
@@ChargedCycleWorksI WP air forks are okay, enzo makes a kit that makes them great 👍
