Surron Light Bee 2 X vs. E Ride Pro 4.0: Which Fits Your Ride?
Quick answer: We carry both bikes and like them for different rides. The Surron Light Bee 2 X is our pick when the day is about track pace, jumps and precise changes of direction. The E Ride Pro 4.0 makes a strong case for a rider who wants a lower purchase price, a blacked-out look, dual-sport tires and approachable controls. Neither choice is a shortcut around checking fit and legal riding access.

Where the Light Bee 2 X wins us over
The Surron gives us noticeably more urgency on a track. Its published 24 kW peak output comes in a bike about 24 lb lighter than the Pro 4.0. That power-to-weight advantage is a spec comparison, while our preference for its track feel comes from riding. It is easier for us to place, pick a line and move our body around on the longer seat. We also prefer its stock brake feel and the more substantial kit of tools that comes with the bike.
The charger travels on the Light Bee 2, a genuinely handy detail when you want another session away from the shop. Its traction and wheelie controls add another way to tune the ride. The off-road tire setup suits our track use better out of the box. The tradeoffs for a mixed-surface rider are the higher price and the absence of a factory taillight on our off-road bike.
Where the Pro 4.0 wins us over
We like the Pro 4.0's blacked-out style and its dual-sport tires for riders splitting time between firm surfaces and permitted off-road terrain. The display and controls feel straightforward to our team, and we find its software app more intuitive. Being able to set a top-speed limit is useful when dialing in a bike for a rider's experience; it does not make an unsuitable riding area legal or replace supervision.
On the bike we photographed, the headlight, taillight and turn signals are welcome practical equipment. They improve visibility but do not by themselves make the U.S. off-road model street legal. Check the bike's paperwork and the rules for your state and route before riding on public roads. E Ride Pro offers long and short seat variants; choose the one that gives you room to move and a comfortable reach. Its $1,100 lower factory-boxed price also leaves room in the budget for gear, transport and future tire choices.
What about belts, gears and jumping?
Drivetrain construction matters if you're repeatedly landing jumps. The Pro 4.0 uses a belt primary that calls for inspection and correct tension. There is conflicting documentation for the Light Bee 2: Surron's New Zealand spec page lists a primary gear transmission, while North American dealer specifications list a primary belt. We like the idea of eliminating a primary belt for jump-heavy riding, but ask us to confirm the actual drive on the specific bike before choosing it for that reason. Either way, tires, wheels, suspension, chain and rider technique matter on landings.
What are riders saying online?
Early Pro 4.0 owner and builder discussion tends to focus on the added ride modes, lighting, long-seat option and the changes from the SS 3.0. In a Light Bee 2 discussion against the different E Ride Pro SR, riders repeatedly bring up weight, brakes and uncertainty about a newly launched platform. Those threads are anecdotes about different comparisons, not a controlled Light Bee 2 versus Pro 4.0 test or proof of long-term reliability. We lean more on the two bikes in our shop and invite you to compare them in person.
Which one should you choose?
- Choose the Light Bee 2 X if your priority is track riding, a lighter bike with stronger published peak output, our preferred brakes and body positioning, and you are comfortable with its higher price and off-road lighting.
- Choose the E Ride Pro 4.0 if you want a more affordable mixed-surface setup, factory dual-sport tires and useful lighting and controls. Verify where you may legally ride it.
- Sit on both if height is your deciding factor. Their published seat heights are virtually identical. Weight, seat shape, bar reach and suspension sag tell you more about actual fit.
Quick answers
Is the Surron Light Bee 2 X more powerful than the E Ride Pro 4.0?
On published peak motor figures, yes: 24 kW versus 18 kW. The Surron also lists a lower bike weight. Peak figures do not predict every lap time or every rider's control.
Which has the bigger battery?
They are close in nominal energy: about 3.53 kWh for the Light Bee 2 X and 3.60 kWh for the Pro 4.0. Voltage and amp-hours alone are not a range test. Terrain, speed, tires and temperature can change real-world distance significantly.
Can I ride either one on public roads because it has lights or dual-sport tires?
No. The U.S. off-road versions in this comparison are sold for off-road use. Lights and tire tread do not establish registration or road legality. Confirm the exact model's documents and local rules.
