How to Assemble Your New Surron Ultra Bee Electric Dirt Bike

If you just picked up a brand new Surron Ultra Bee, congratulations — you're in for a blast. Like most bikes, it ships in a crate and requires assembly before your first ride. The good news: it's very doable in your own garage with basic tools. Below is a broad overview of the assembly process. For the complete step-by-step details, scroll to the bottom of this article and watch the full tutorial video — I walk you through every step.

You can also find quality tools to help with your build right in the Law Abiding Biker Store — free shipping on orders over $100 and no sales tax outside Washington State.

What to Expect When It Arrives

The Ultra Bee arrives in a crate with various boxes of hardware and components. Before you do anything else, carefully uncrate the bike, organize your parts, and get it into a workspace where you can wrench comfortably. Having a quality motorcycle lift stand makes the job much easier — we use the Matrix Concept LS1 lift stand exclusively in the Law Abiding Biker shop. It lets you slide the stand under the bike, lift it with a foot pedal, and work on it without wrestling it on and off a stand. Available in the Law Abiding Biker Store.

Assembly Overview

1. Front Wheel The first step is installing the front wheel. Loosen the pinch bolts on the fork lowers, remove the axle, remove the shipping spacers and wood block, install the wheel with spacers oriented correctly (they have a directional lip), slide the axle through, and torque everything to spec. Don't skip the torque wrench here — the axle bolt and pinch bolts have specific torque values that are easy to under or overtighten by hand. Always verify the correct specs for your particular model year.

2. Front Fender With the wheel on, the front fender bolts up with four bolts and collared washers. Finger-start all four before snugging them down, and be careful not to overtighten — you're threading into plastic.

3. Handlebars and Controls The bars need to be off the clamps to install the right-side controls and grip — there's not enough slack otherwise. Slip the throttle assembly and controls onto the bar first, then set the bars into the clamps. Use the centering lines machined into the bar to get them centered and positioned where you want them before final torque.

4. Brake Levers and Brake Sensors Both the front and rear brake assemblies include a small brake sensor switch that needs to be attached to the master cylinder before mounting to the bars. It's a simple install but takes a little patience to get lined up — it's easier to do off the bike. Once the sensor is attached, the whole assembly rocks right onto the bars.

5. Hand Guards The OEM handguards bolt to each side with two 5mm bolts each. Pay attention to left/right orientation — if you put the wrong side on, the guard faces down and offers zero protection.

6. Chain Guard Two bolts, quick install. Straightforward.

7. Battery Connection Remove the seat with your key, release the battery compartment latches, and connect the color-coded battery cables. Both connectors are shaped so they can only go on one way — foolproof.

8. First Power-On and Test With everything assembled, insert the key, power the bike on, hit the Ready button, confirm the green Ready light on the dash, and test the throttle. Then plug in and fully charge the battery before your first ride.

Tools That Make This Job Easier

A few tools we use and recommend that are available in the Law Abiding Biker Store:

• Torque Wrenches — calibrated, affordable, come as a set covering inch-pounds and foot-pounds. Critical for the axle and pinch bolts.
• Motion Pro T-Handles — 3/8 and 1/4 drive versions that save serious time on bikes like this. Once you use them, you won't go back.
