I have never felt that the lack of reciprocating mass is a negative on my Alta MXR, quite the contrary. For reference, I'm an older, casual trail rider, mainly single track, some of it pretty gnarly. Have owned and ridden a bunch of very nicely setup dirt bikes over the years, everything from...

I think its going to be a confusing mess of contradictory regulations put in place at the local, national (USA), and international level, until the battery/controller/weight technology improves to the point where it makes no sense to be riding anything but an e-dirt bike if you want to be...

Summary: he really likes it. Wants to try some suspension and wheel/tire tweaks. I can't wait to get mine and see what its all about on the trails.

I've been wringing my hands for over a year now trying to decide if I should buy a Light Bee and mod it up ($$$). Held out mainly due to my height, at 6'5" just didn't think it would work too well. Then the Talaria Sting came out, and same thing, major hand wringing. Just when I was about to...

I think you will find the Ultra Bee not suitable for your type of riding. I consider it a play bike more then a full on dirt bike. I think the Stark Varg would suit you better. As B. Frank mentioned, I think you will find the Ultra Bee not as capable as your Honda or really any typical full on...

Charged Cycles is saying the Ultra Bee will have vin #'s and MSO's and should be able to be titled in the USA. Ermagerd! ERMAGERD!!! I hope this is true. We will see. Check out the video from Charged, around the 4:00 min mark he starts talking about it.

Good to know about the Light Bee vin. And no bubbles burst, no worries, Lol.

Yes, I think the pic is just a generic pic from Sur Ron. I'm expecting the bike to look just like that except it will not have blinkers. The internet chatter is that Sur Ron has not gone through the process to sell a street legal version of the Ultra Bee in the USA (EPA certification + whatever...

An enthusiastic overview of the Ultra Bee from Electric Trail Rider (Ka Uila Motors) with some speculation since its not a "hands on" review/test: Some things he notes: 19" wheels front/back. May or may not be room for a 18" + wider rear tire within the swingarm. Controller is in a vulnerable...

Hey all, I just put down a deposit for an Ultra Bee with Charged Cycle Works in Utah (USA). Very excited to see what this "in between" bike is all about. I will report back more when I receive the bike. More info here: Charged Cycle Works Sur Ron Ultra Bee Pre-Order Price: $6,499 USD (+...

Thanks for the great report. But, Wow. I can't believe what I'm reading about the dealers getting the bikes first. What was the point of everyone putting down their $100 deposits? What is the benefit of putting down a deposit if I can just stop by my local dealer and buy a Stark there, and get...

How did it look? Overall quality looks good?

I don't know for sure, but I'm pretty sure its not since none of the dealers that have had it have put anything on social media about riding it. I know if I worked at a dealership and if we had it at our shop and if it was operational, I would be riding it somehow. (world record for most...

Yes, the red prototype bike is making the rounds of dealers in the US now. I saw online that it was at an Oregon dealership, sent Stark customer service an email asking if they could send me a schedule of where the bike is going to be so I could go see it in person. Was hoping to see it at a...

He likes it.

He's totally got that first time on an Alta "I'm so confused I wasn't sure what to expect but it's killer and I think I love it" reaction, Lol.

Interesting video on the new Sur Ron Ultra Bee. I'd buy one today if it was available in the US (while I wait for my Stark Varg to be delivered late next year, and meanwhile still loving my Alta MXR).

Good job guys!

Looks like hero dirt. Sweet.

Good luck this weekend boys! Weather looks pretty good. Looking forward to hearing how it went and some pics. Keep safe! -Ed
