Surron electric motorcycles, such as the Surron Light Bee and Surron Ultra Bee, are true gems for adrenaline junkies and off-road enthusiasts. Their lightweight design and agility, paired with electric propulsion, deliver tons of fun—but what if you want to squeeze even more out of them? Boosting your Surron’s power is a dream for many riders, and in this article, I’ll show you how to make it happen! From swapping batteries to upgrading controllers and adding small tweaks, you’ll find everything you need to know to turn your Surron into a beast on wheels. Ready? Let’s dive in!
Why Boost Your Surron’s Power?
The Surron Light Bee comes stock with 6 kW of power, while the Ultra Bee offers around 12.5 kW—solid performance, but for many, it’s just the starting point. More power means faster acceleration, higher top speeds, and better handling in tough terrain. Imagine your Surron tearing through muddy trails or climbing steep hills without breaking a sweat—sounds exciting, doesn’t it?
Increasing power isn’t just about thrills; it’s also a way to tailor your bike to your riding style. Are you a fan of quick sprints, or do you prefer long off-road adventures? Either way, there’s something here for you. Let’s explore the best ways to crank up your Surron’s performance, starting with the most popular method: batteries!
1. Battery Upgrade – The Key to More Power
The simplest and most effective way to boost your Surron’s power is by upgrading to a more capable battery. The stock Light Bee battery (60V 35Ah or 40Ah) and Ultra Bee battery (72V 55Ah) have their limits, but the market offers options that can take your performance to a whole new level.
Options for Surron Light Bee
For the Light Bee, we recommend switching to a 72V battery—a real game-changer! Here are our top picks from CityLion’s lineup:
- 72V 50Ah 18kW – Check it out. Lightweight and powerful, perfect for starters.
- 72V 55Ah 20kW – Click here. More power and range in one package.
- 72V 65Ah 23.4kW – See the offer. Maximum power for the demanding rider.
Options for Surron Ultra Bee
The Ultra Bee already runs on 72V stock, but you can push it further:
- 72V 90Ah 30kW – Check it out. The highest power option—30 kW!
- 72V 104Ah 13kW – Click here. Focused on range but still packing solid power.
Why it works? Higher voltage and capacity allow the motor to operate with greater intensity. For instance, the 72V 65Ah battery for the Light Bee boosts power from 6 kW to 23.4 kW—nearly a fourfold jump! Want more battery details?

2. New Controller – Unlock Full Potential
A battery alone isn’t enough. To fully harness its power, you need the right controller. The stock Surron controller limits performance, but the TORP TC1000 changes the game.
TORP TC1000 for Light Bee and Ultra Bee
- For Light Bee: Check it out. Handles 72V and allows precise parameter tuning.
- For Ultra Bee: Click here. Perfect for pairing with 90Ah or 104Ah batteries.
How it works? The TORP TC1000 gives you control over power, torque, and throttle response. You can tweak settings to suit your needs—from aggressive riding to smooth acceleration. Paired with a 72V 65Ah battery for the Light Bee or a 90Ah for the Ultra Bee, your top speed could hit up to 100 km/h!
3. Small Mods – Big Impact with Little Changes
You don’t always need to swap out batteries or controllers to boost power. Here are some simple tricks:
a) Lighter Wheels and Tires
- Reducing rotational mass improves acceleration. Opt for aluminum rims and lightweight off-road tires.
b) Upgraded Chain and Sprockets
- A better chain and larger rear sprocket can increase torque, giving you more low-end punch.
c) Motor Cooling
- Intense use heats up the motor, reducing efficiency. Add a fan or heat sink for better power stability.
These mods are more affordable and easier to implement, and when combined with a new battery or controller, they deliver impressive results.
