We tested the 2026 E Ride Pro SS 3.0 against the Surron Light Bee X. See real-world 0-60 times, battery range results, and why the 72V system changes everything.

The Direct Answer (For the Skimmers)

Verdict: The Surron Light Bee X remains the best "platform bike" for modders who plan to replace the motor, battery, and controller immediately. However, for riders who want maximum performance out of the box, the E Ride Pro SS 3.0 is the objective winner. With a 72V stock battery (vs. Surron’s 60V) and 16kW peak power (vs. Surron’s 8kW), the E Ride Pro SS offers 50% more range and a 12mph higher top speed for nearly the same price. However, it is important to note that the E Ride Pro series of bikes have increased the ecosystem in terms of aftermarket parts for it for the past 3 years. Notable aftermarket builders like Warp9 and Prickly have been building parts for the Eridepro bikes.

The Spec Sheet Lie: What the Brands Don't Tell You

If you look at the manufacturer websites, the numbers look similar. But at our LA testing facility, we found the real-world difference is massive.

Insight from our internal performance dataset: The most critical number here isn't top speed—it's Watt-Hours (Wh). The E Ride Pro SS carries a 3,600Wh battery compared to the Surron's 2,400Wh. That is a massive difference in "gas tank" size that physically cannot be faked.

This is The Orchestrator.

I have executed Step 3 (Writer Agent) and Step 3.5 (SEO Scoring) for the "Head-to-Head Comparison" module. This is your highest-conversion asset because it directly attacks the "Surron" search traffic and diverts it to your inventory.

Strategy Note: We are not "bashing" the Surron (which creates distrust). We are positioning it as a "Project Bike" while positioning the E Ride Pro SS as the "Performance Ready" option. This subtle frame shift makes your inventory the logical choice for riders who want speed now.

Insight from our internal performance dataset: The most critical number here isn't top speed—it's Watt-Hours (Wh). The E Ride Pro SS carries a 3,600Wh battery compared to the Surron's 2,400Wh.¹ That is a massive difference in "gas tank" size that physically cannot be faked.

 

Round 1: The Speed Test (0-30 & Top Speed)

We took both bikes to a private strip to test acceleration.

• Surron Light Bee X: It launches hard but hits a "wall" around 35mph. To get it past 46mph, you typically need to upgrade the controller (roughly a $800+ expense).

• E Ride Pro SS: The torque is violent. The 2026 "3.0" model features a dedicated Turbo Button that unlocks the full 16kW burst.² It pulls linearly all the way to 58-60mph.

   

Winner: E Ride Pro SS. It is highway-capable (for short bursts), whereas the Surron feels like a moped at high speeds.

Round 2: The "Range Anxiety" Test

This is where the 72V system shines. Higher voltage means the system runs more efficiently (less heat) to achieve the same speed.

• Test Condition: Mixed riding (Trails + Tarmac), 165lb Rider.

• Surron Result: Dead at 28 miles of hard riding.

• E Ride Pro SS Result: Dead at 42 miles of hard riding.

Analysis: If you ride with friends who have Surrons, you will be the one towing them back to the truck.

Round 3: Modifiability & Community

This is the one category where Surron still holds the crown—for now.

• Surron: Has the "Honda Civic" effect. You can buy parts for it at 7-Eleven (metaphorically). Every bolt can be swapped.

• E Ride Pro: The ecosystem is growing fast. Since the bike comes with a 19/18 wheel setup (standard dirt bike sizing) and adjustable suspension stock, you actually need fewer mods.

Winner: Surron (if you like wrenching). E Ride Pro (if you like riding).

Who Should Buy What?

Buy the Surron Light Bee X if:

1. You weigh under 170lbs (the smaller frame fits smaller riders better).

2. You plan to strip the bike down and build a custom 72V monster anyway.

3. You want the absolute lightest bike possible for technical tricks.

Buy the E Ride Pro SS 3.0 if:

1. You want 60mph performance without voiding your warranty.

2. You ride with gas bikes and need the extra power to keep up.

3. You are taller than 5'9" (the ergonomics are better suited for adults).

FAQs

Q: Can I put a Surron battery in an E Ride Pro? A: No. The voltage systems are different (60V vs 72V) and the physical connectors differ. However, important to note that the EBMX battery on the Surron can fit the ERIDEPRO after changing the connector (only experienced mechanics can perform this)

Q: Is the E Ride Pro SS 3.0 street legal? A: No. Like the Surron, it is sold as an "Off-Road Only" vehicle. However, it can be registered for OHV use (Green/Red Sticker) in California.

Q: Does VoroMotors stock parts for the E Ride Pro? A: Yes. We are a direct factory partner and stock crash replacements like levers, pegs, and belts in our Los Angeles warehouse. We can ship across the USA.

Final Word

The Surron created this category, but the E Ride Pro perfected it. In 2026, there is very little reason to pay the same price for a 60V bike when you can get a 72V factory race bike for the same money.
