The Storm Bee is Surron Dubai’s flagship electric motorcycle model, engineered for extreme off-road performance. Featuring a 72V 40Ah lithium-ion battery and 12,000W mid-drive motor, it delivers 190 Nm torque, reaching 0-60 km/h in 3.5 seconds. With dual-crown suspension, 320mm hydraulic brakes, and IP67 waterproofing, it’s built for desert dunes and mountain trails. Pro Tip: Utilize Eco mode (6,500W cap) to extend range beyond 110 km per charge.
What technical specs distinguish the Storm Bee?
The Storm Bee combines aerospace-grade aluminum framing with a liquid-cooled motor achieving 92% efficiency. Key specs include 21-inch knobby tires, 260mm ground clearance, and regenerative braking recovering 15% energy downhill. Unlike Surron’s Ultra Bee, it uses carbon fiber-reinforced drive belts instead of chains for sand resistance.

Beyond raw power, the Storm Bee’s 72V battery architecture operates optimally between 60V-84V, paired with a FOC (Field-Oriented Control) controller for precise torque modulation. The modular battery design allows hot-swapping in 90 seconds—critical during endurance races. Pro Tip: Always store batteries at 50% charge in temperatures below 35°C to prevent lithium plating. For instance, riders in Liwa Desert Challenge reduce battery stress by pre-cooling packs in insulated cases.
Who should consider buying the Storm Bee?
Targeted at professional off-roaders and adventure enthusiasts, the Storm Bee outperforms gas-powered 450cc dirt bikes in torque-to-weight ratios. Its 118 kg chassis supports riders up to 130 kg, making it unsuitable for casual commuters seeking Surron’s Light Bee models.
Practically speaking, this bike thrives where others stall—muddy wadis, rocky ascents, or dune fields. The three riding modes (Eco, Trail, Beast) let novices gradually build skills without overwhelming power delivery. Take Red Bull Athlete Ahmed Al-Haddad’s experience: he completed 8 Abu Dhabi Desert Challenge stages on a single Storm Bee prototype. But is the Storm Bee’s maintenance schedule manageable? Yes, with Surron Dubai’s DesertCare package offering free sand-filter replacements every 500 km.
| Feature | Storm Bee | Hyper Bee |
|---|---|---|
| Motor Power | 12,000W | 8,000W |
| Torque | 190 Nm | 150 Nm |
| Charge Time | 2.5h (Fast) | 4h |
How does the battery system enhance performance?
The modular 72V battery uses 21700 NMC cells with 3,000 cycles at 80% depth-of-discharge. Integrated graphene cooling sheets reduce hotspots during 20kW rapid charging. This design prevents the 12% voltage sag seen in competitors’ packs during hill climbs.
Surron Dubai’s engineering team prioritized thermal resilience—the Storm Bee’s pack maintains 95% efficiency at 50°C ambient temperatures. How? Through phase-change materials absorbing heat during discharge. A real-world test in Jebel Hafeet showed 18 consecutive ascents without performance drops. Pro Tip: Use the Surron Dubai app to monitor individual cell voltages—replace any module dipping below 3.2V under load.
What maintenance protocols apply to the Storm Bee?
Bi-weekly maintenance includes drive belt tension checks (6-8mm deflection) and suspension pivot lubrication. The brushless motor requires zero lubrication but needs magnetic debris cleared every 200 km using Surron’s MagStick tool.
Beyond basic upkeep, the Storm Bee’s diagnostic port enables real-time OBD-II analytics—track motor temperature, regen efficiency, and battery health. For example, Dubai-based rally teams sync this data with GPS to optimize race strategies. Transitioning from gas bikes? Remember: there’s no oil changes or air filters, but inverter coolant flushes every 15,000 km are mandatory. Pro Tip: Always torque axle nuts to 110 Nm—desert vibrations can loosen them catastrophically.
| Component | Service Interval | Cost (AED) |
|---|---|---|
| Battery Inspection | 1,000 km | Free |
| Belt Replacement | 5,000 km | 450 |
| Coolant Change | 15,000 km | 300 |
