E Ride Pro SS 2.0 Review: The Budget Ultra Bee Alternative
E Ride Pro SS 2.0 Review: The Budget Ultra Bee Alternative
The E Ride Pro SS 2.0 arrived in the UK as a value alternative to the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee — and it delivers. At 12kW peak, a 72V system and roughly 56mph, it punches above its price on paper. Here is the full breakdown for UK buyers deciding between the E Ride Pro and the bigger brands.
E Ride Pro SS 2.0 specs
| Peak power | 12kW |
| Top speed | ~56mph |
| Battery | 72V removable lithium-ion |
| Range | Up to 55 miles (Eco) |
| Wheels | 19in front / 18in rear |
| Suspension | Inverted front forks, adjustable rear |
| Brakes | Hydraulic discs front and rear |
| Price at VoltTrail | Competitive — see product page |
Performance: punching above its weight
12kW of peak power puts the E Ride Pro SS 2.0 in the same bracket as the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee (11kW) and above the Light Bee X (6kW). The 72V system delivers instant, linear torque and a top speed around 56mph — slightly faster than the Ultra Bee's 55mph. On trail the delivery is smooth and responsive, though the throttle mapping is less refined than Sur-Ron's at very low speed.
Build quality and components
The SS 2.0 uses a steel alloy frame, inverted front forks and an adjustable rear shock. Build quality is solid if not premium — the suspension and brakes do the job without the polish of Sur-Ron's components. For a rider who wants performance over brand prestige, this is a fair trade. For a rider who plans to race or wants to upgrade suspension later, the aftermarket for the E Ride Pro is smaller than Sur-Ron's.
Battery and range
The 72V removable pack gives up to 55 miles of Eco-mode riding. Hard Sport-mode sessions return around 25–30 miles. The genuine E Ride Pro 72V replacement battery is £849. Charging takes around 3 hours from flat.
E Ride Pro SS vs Sur-Ron Ultra Bee
The Ultra Bee (£4,999) has slightly better build quality, a more refined ride feel and the massive Sur-Ron aftermarket. The E Ride Pro matches or beats it on raw specs — more peak power, similar speed, competitive range — at a lower price. If you are brand-conscious or plan to heavily modify the bike, buy the Ultra Bee. If you want the most performance per pound and are happy with a smaller aftermarket, the E Ride Pro is the smarter buy.
Is the E Ride Pro road legal?
No. The SS 2.0 is for off-road, private-land use only. See our road legal electric dirt bikes guide for the models that are.
