Surron’s comprehensive guide to batteries: everything you need to know in 2025

Introduction: Surron’s growing popularity of electric motorbikes

Surron electric motorbikes have taken the hearts of two-wheel enthusiasts around the world by storm, and in Poland their popularity continues to grow. In 2025, when electromobility technology is developing at a dizzying pace, models such as the Surron Light Bee and Surron Ultra Bee are becoming synonymous with freedom, adrenaline and eco-friendly riding. Why? It’s simple – they combine lightness, power and customisability.

From the debut of the Light Bee in 2018, which found tens of thousands of buyers all over the world, to the introduction of the powerful Ultra Bee in 2023, Surron is proving that electric crossovers are not just a fad, but the future of off-road motoring. But what makes these vehicles so special? The key lies at their heart – the batteries. They determine range, power and comfort. In this article, we take a look at why you should invest in a Surron battery upgrade, what options are available and how to choose the best solution for you.

Why should you consider upgrading your Surron battery?

Benefits of extended range and increased power

The standard batteries on Surron motorbikes offer solid performance, but for many users this is not enough. Upgrading the battery is a way to unlock the full potential of these machines – both in terms of range and power. Here’s why it’s worth considering:

1. Longer range – With an improved battery, you can cover longer distances without worrying about charging. Ideal for those who love all-day field trips.
2. Increased power – Higher voltage and capacity mean more energy for the engine, resulting in better acceleration and driving dynamics.
3. Better efficiency – Modern batteries, such as those from City Lion, minimise energy loss, allowing for longer and more stable operation.
4. Personalisation – You can tailor the battery to your driving style – from economical driving to maximum adrenaline.

Examples for Surron Light Bee and Ultra Bee

Let’s look at the specific benefits using two popular Surron models and their improved batteries from City Lion as examples.

Our opinion: upgrading your battery is an investment that quickly pays off – not only in the form of a better riding experience, but also more freedom. For the Light Bee, we recommend the 60V 68Ah battery if you value plug & play simplicity, while for extreme performance fans the 72V 65Ah is a real game-changer.

Battery upgrade options: Comparison of 60V and 72V

60V batteries – Ideal for everyday driving

60V batteries, such as the 60V 68Ah 7kW for the Surron Light Bee, are a great choice for those looking for a balance between range and cost. Their advantages include:

• Simplicity of installation – Plug & play means that no complicated modifications are required to replace the battery.
• Performance – Range increases by up to 120% compared to a standard battery.
• Price – This is a more economical option compared to 72V batteries.

For whom. For Light Bee users who ride recreationally and do not need extreme power.

72V batteries – Maximum power and adrenaline

On the other hand, 72V batteries, such as the 72V 65Ah 23.4kW for the Light Bee or the 72V 90Ah 30kW for the Ultra Bee, are the choice for fans of maximum performance. What do they offer?

• Huge power output – up to 23.4 kW for the Light Bee and 30 kW for the Ultra Bee.
• Robust range – Up to 170-200 km depending on model and driving style.
• Durability – The use of LG and Samsung cells ensures a life expectancy of 1000 cycles at 80% capacity.

Who it’s for. For those who want to squeeze the best out of the Surron – ideal for off-road and sport riding.

Comparison of key parameters

Our opinion: If you want simplicity and longer range, the 60V is a hit. The 72V batteries, on the other hand, are a must-have for those who prioritise power and aren’t afraid to have a bit of technical fun with assembly.

The Surron 72V battery provides significantly more power and better acceleration compared to standard models. If you are primarily concerned about performance and dynamic riding, this is the option for you. The 60V 68Ah battery, on the other hand, offers the best range while maintaining compatibility with the standard controller.

It is worth noting that the 72V battery for the Surron Light Bee usually also requires a controller replacement to realise its full potential. This is an additional cost, but the end result is well worth the investment. In the case of the Surron Ultra Bee, controller replacement is not necessary.

How to increase the power of the Surron by up to 6 times with the right controllers

Simply replacing the battery with a higher voltage or higher capacity model is only the beginning of the tuning possibilities. In order to fully exploit the potential of the upgraded battery, it is also necessary to replace the controller (controller).

Increasing Surron’s capacity – what is possible in 2025?

With a Surron 72V battery, you can increase the power output of your motorbike by up to six times. While the standard Surron Light Bee offers a power output of around 6 kW, when you upgrade the battery to 72V and use the right controller, the power output can increase up to 23.4 kW!

Such power translates into:

• Significantly improved acceleration
• Higher maximum speed
• Improved off-road properties
• Easier climbing

One of the best controllers available on the market in 2025 is the Torp TC1000 Controller for the Surron Light Bee. This advanced controller is specifically designed to work with 72V batteries and allows them to reach their full potential.

For the Ultra Bee, we recommend the Torp TC1000 Controller for the Surron Ultra Bee, which is optimised for use with the model’s more powerful engine.

Here’s how the Torp TC1000 controller affects Surron’s performance:

Installation of the Torp TC1000 controller is relatively simple and can be carried out at home by people with basic technical knowledge. The controller also offers the possibility to program various parameters, such as throttle characteristics, power limitation or regenerative braking sensitivity.

Surron battery installation and maintenance – step-by-step guide

Installing a Surron 72V battery is relatively simple and can be done at home. Below is a detailed guide to walk you through the process.

Tools needed:

• Allen spanner set
• 10mm and 13mm spanner
• Phillips screwdriver
• Insulating tape
• Optional: multimeter to check voltage

Step 1: Preparing the motorbike

1. Make sure the motorbike is switched off and the key is removed from the ignition.
2. Place the motorbike on a stable surface, preferably on a centre stand.
3. Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid a short circuit during operation.

Step 2: Removing the old battery

1. Remove the screws holding the battery cover (usually 4 Allen screws).
2. Carefully remove the cover, being careful of any wires.
3. Disconnect the battery main connector (usually a large connector with several pins).
4. Remove the screws that secure the battery to the frame (usually 2-4 screws).
5. Carefully remove the battery from the motorbike, bearing in mind that it can be heavy (around 10-15 kg).

Step 3: Installing a new battery

1. Check that the new battery fits into the mounting location. For a “plug & play” battery, it should fit perfectly.
2. Carefully place the new battery in the frame of the motorbike.
3. Tighten the screws securing the battery to the frame, taking care not to over-tighten them.
4. Connect the main battery connector, making sure it is correctly orientated.
5. If you are also replacing the controller, now is a good time to install it.

Step 4: Finalisation and testing

1. Reinstall the battery cover and tighten all screws.
2. Connect the negative terminal of the battery.
3. Turn on the motorbike and check that all systems are working properly.
4. Carry out a short test drive to make sure everything is working as it should.

FAQ: Frequently asked questions about Surron batteries

1. is the battery upgrade difficult?

No, especially with plug & play models like the 60V 68Ah for the Light Bee. 72V batteries may require adapters, but the instructions from City Lion are clear and intuitive.

2. how long do the improved batteries last?

Thanks to Molicel, LG and Samsung cells, batteries from City Lion retain around 80% of their capacity after 1,000 charging cycles – that’s many years of intensive use!

3. does more power harm the engine?

No, as long as the battery and controller are properly matched. Products from City Lion are designed with compatibility and safety in mind.

4. what range can I achieve in practice?

It depends on your driving style and terrain. In ECO mode on the Light Bee with a 60V 68Ah battery, up to 200km is realistic, but in rough terrain it can drop to 100-120km.

5 Where can I order a battery?

We recommend the “Surron batteries and modifications” category – you’ll find everything you need there

6. what is the actual difference in range between the standard battery and the upgraded battery?

The standard Surron Light Bee battery offers a range of up to 80km under ideal conditions, but in practice, especially when driving off-road, this range can drop to 40-60km. The upgraded 60V 68Ah battery can increase the range to as much as 140 km in urban conditions and 100 km off-road, an almost twofold improvement.

7. does replacing the battery affect the motorbike warranty?

Yes, replacing the original battery with an unauthorised model will usually void the powertrain warranty. However, our batteries are designed to be fully compatible with Surron motorbikes and we offer our own warranty.
