Another Sur Ron Light Bee clone. 72 Volts and has a Sotion motor so it's nice little bump up from a stock Sur Ron.

I'm not sure how many "lite Bee" clones the market with support, but it seems to me that that number has been surpassed. Do you guys think that the market is flooded with these things? I suppose that sales are still good, but how much longer can it keep going? Sur Ron, Mantis, Taleria, Frozen Pussy, and likely a few more...

I hope these companies are paying attention.
 
Yeah they're definitely trying to capture those Light Bee sales. I guess it's good it forces competition. I don't think Sur Ron really cares because they have the Ultra and Storm Bee now. Would be nice if Sur Ron came out with a 72V or higher Light Bee. That seems to be where everyone has the advantage on the Light Bee is the battery.
 
Surron, Talaria, eRide, Mantis, Falcon M, etc, etc...yeah, lots of brands popping up out there. There are some notable improvements on these newer bikes, and each will also have shortcomings.

Competition is good and it'll just up the development and performance from all the mfgs.

I'll stick with Surron at this time, due to being a more established brand and all of the development and options in the aftermarket, but that could change...
 
Yep the Light Bee was the first to start this hybrid mountain bike/dirt bike craze. Everyone else is just copying them.

I think if you wanted to start off with something more than a Light Bee though I guess the other 72V bikes is a good place to start. If you are going to mod it regardless the Sur Ron is still a good way to go especially with the huge aftermarket support.
