Surron vs Talaria comes down to size and power more than brand. The Surron Light Bee X is the light one: 123 lb, 47 mph and 6 kW. The Surron Ultra Bee is a 196 lb machine with 12.5 kW, 440 Nm and over 56 mph, and the Talaria Komodo is the most powerful of the three, with 32 kW peak, a 96V battery and 65 mph. The Light Bee X sells in the $3,000–$5,000 band, the Komodo in the $5,000–$7,000 band and the Ultra Bee in the $5,500–$7,500 band; see today's price on each product page.
All three are electric dirt bikes, built and sold for off-road riding. We sell them with free shipping to the lower 48, and our technicians service Surron, Talaria and every other brand in our shops.

*Prices change often: the product pages show today's price. Surron figures are Surron's, from our product pages and Surron USA; Komodo figures are Talaria's, from our product page and Talaria Canada (Talaria's Canadian distributor), credited where they come from. Each maker tests range at a different speed, so compare the test speed as well as the number.
How the Surron and Talaria lines compare
Surron's Light Bee has been on the market since 2018, and Talaria's lightweight models are its Sting family. Talaria Canada places the Komodo in a newer class: smaller than a full-size dirt bike but bigger than the lightweight models like the Light Bee and the Sting. That puts it up against the Surron Ultra Bee, not the Light Bee X.
So the useful comparisons in our line are Light Bee X against the two bigger machines if you're choosing a size, and Ultra Bee against Komodo if you already know you want a big one. Talaria's current line, by Talaria Canada, is the Komodo, Sting MX5, Sting MX4, X3 Pro, X3 Mini and Junior 16, compared model by model in Talaria models explained; of these, we carry the Komodo, on our Talaria page.
Which is fastest?
On paper, the Komodo: 65 mph (105 km/h) on our listing, from 32 kW peak. The Ultra Bee is rated for over 56 mph (90 km/h) in Sports mode with a 154 lb rider, and 0 to 31 mph in 2.3 seconds. The Light Bee X is rated for 47 mph (75 km/h) in Sports mode, measured with a 165 lb rider.
Peak power tells the bigger story. The Komodo's 32 kW is more than double the Ultra Bee's 12.5 kW and five times the Light Bee X's 6 kW, so it is not a machine to learn on. Surron's 2025 build of the Light Bee X is listed at 8 kW peak in its owner's manual; the details are in Surron Light Bee X: price, top speed, range and specs.
Which goes farthest on a charge?
- Talaria Komodo: up to 115 km, about 71.5 miles, at moderate speeds, from a 96V 45Ah Greenway battery (our listing). Talaria don't state the test speed there.
- Surron Ultra Bee: up to 62 miles at a constant 31 mph, from a removable 74V 55Ah battery, with a full charge in about 4.5 hours.
- Surron Light Bee X: up to 47 miles at 25 mph, from a removable 60V 40Ah battery that lifts out in about ten seconds and charges in about 4 hours.
Hard trail riding, hills, cold and a heavier rider cut all three figures. The Ultra Bee's is the most demanding test of the three, at a steady 31 mph.
Size and weight: the first thing to decide
The Light Bee X has an 830 mm (32.7 in) seat and weighs 123 lb, light enough for two people to lift into a pickup. The Ultra Bee and the Komodo both have a 910 mm (35.8 in) seat and weigh 196 lb and about 216 lb (98 kg, by Talaria Canada). The Komodo is the only one on 21-inch front and 18-inch rear wheels, the sizes a gas dirt bike uses, which is part of why Talaria Canada pitches it to riders coming from gas machines.
If you are shorter than about 5'8" or new to off-road riding, start with the Light Bee X. The head-to-head of the two Surrons is in Surron Light Bee X vs Ultra Bee.
Best for first-time adult riders: Surron Light Bee X
The Surron Light Bee X is the easiest of the three to ride, lift and transport: 123 lb, a lower seat, 47 mph and a gentle Eco mode, on a 200 mm fork and 210 mm rear suspension. It carries riders up to 220 lb. It also costs the least of the three by a wide margin.
Best for experienced riders: Surron Ultra Bee
The Surron Ultra Bee is the full-size step: 440 Nm at the wheel, three levels of traction control, 240 mm of fully adjustable travel and a 330 lb carrying capacity, with a range rating measured at 31 mph. It suits riders who already ride off-road, ride rough ground or bigger jumps, or are over the Light Bee X's 220 lb limit. Price, versions and who it suits are in how much is a Surron Ultra Bee.
Best for maximum power: Talaria Komodo
The Talaria Komodo is the one for experienced riders who want the most power and gas-bike wheel sizes: 32 kW peak, a 96V 45Ah battery, a dual-chamber air fork with 250 mm of travel, a rear air shock, Eco, Street, Hyper and Reverse modes and a regen button. It is the newest of the three, released in late 2025, and our listing shows it as pre-order with limited stock, so check the product page for timing.

Are Surron and Talaria electric dirt bikes street legal?
Not as delivered. We sell all three as off-road electric dirt bikes, and Talaria Canada says the Komodo is intended exclusively for off-road use. They aren't e-bikes either. California's Vehicle Code §312.5(d), as amended by SB 1271, says a machine built to go past 20 mph on motor power, or with more than 750 W, is not an electric bicycle and can't be sold or labeled as one; all three are far past both.
New York State Police class electric dirt bikes as off-highway motorcycles, not legal on public roads unless fully registered, insured and street legal. California treats them as off-highway motorcycles too, and since January 1, 2026 they need a Green Sticker to ride on public off-highway land. Other states set their own rules. Models over 20 mph aren't sold or shipped to New York City addresses. See where to ride electric dirt bikes in New York and California electric scooter and e-bike laws.

Frequently asked questions
Is Talaria better than Surron?
Neither brand is better across the board; it depends on the model. In our line, the Surron Light Bee X is the lighter, easier machine, the Ultra Bee has the most torque and carrying capacity we can quote, and the Talaria Komodo has the most peak power and top speed.
Which is faster, the Talaria Komodo or the Surron Ultra Bee?
The Komodo: 65 mph on our listing, against over 56 mph for the Ultra Bee by Surron's rating. The Komodo's 32 kW peak is more than double the Ultra Bee's 12.5 kW.
Is the Talaria Komodo bigger than the Surron Ultra Bee?
Slightly. Both have a 910 mm seat, but the Komodo rides on 21-inch and 18-inch wheels against the Ultra Bee's two 19-inch wheels, and weighs about 216 lb (98 kg, by Talaria Canada) against 196 lb.
What is Talaria's version of the Surron Light Bee X?
The Talaria Sting family, which we don't carry. The Komodo is Talaria's bigger, more powerful machine and competes with the Ultra Bee.
Are Surron and Talaria motorbikes or e-bikes?
They are electric dirt bikes, not e-bikes: classed as off-highway motorcycles in New York and California, and too fast and powerful to be sold as electric bicycles under California law.
