⚡️ Fitment on Sur-Ron & Talaria Electric Bikes
| Bike | Stock Front Wheel | Fitment | Mods Needed? | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sur-Ron Light Bee X | 70/100-19 (stock) | ⚠️ Yes, with 17” rim | Requires 17" front wheel | Lower ride height & quicker steering; ideal for flat-track or youth riders |
| Sur-Ron Ultra Bee | 90/90-19 (stock) | ❌ Not recommended | Too small | Better suited for 19” or 21” front tyres |
| Sur-Ron Storm Bee | 80/100-21 (stock) | ❌ Too small | Not compatible | Drastically reduces front-end geometry |
| Talaria Sting R | 70/100-19 (stock) | ⚠️ Fits with 17” mod | Swap to 17" front wheel | Lowers front end – good for supermoto-style builds |
| Talaria XXX | 17” stock front | ✅ Direct fit | None | Great match — lightweight tyre for small electric dirt bikes |
🧠 Why Use a 17” Front Like This?
✅ Good Fit For:
-
Shorter riders: Lowers front end ~1–1.5 inches vs. 19"/21" setups
-
Supermoto or flat-track conversions: Improves turn-in and flickability
-
Youth MX builds: Lightweight front with soft-terrain bite
-
Urban jump/park riders: Better feel for tight turns and tech lines
⚠️ Not Ideal For:
-
Full-size e-moto builds like Ultra Bee or Storm Bee — tyre is too small for the geometry and suspension travel
-
Rocky, hardpack terrain — softer terrain tyre; knobs can chunk on hard terrain
🏁 Performance on Sur-Ron / Talaria
| Terrain | Rating |
|---|---|
| Soft Dirt / Loam | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ – Strong bite and direction |
| Mud / Sand | ⭐⭐⭐⭐☆ – Good self-cleaning |
| Hardpack | ⭐⭐☆☆☆ – Less bite; not its strength |
| Urban / Street | ⭐☆☆☆☆ – Not DOT-legal |
| Agility | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ – Fast steering, lower ride feel |
🔧 Setup Tips
-
Pair with a 90/100-14 or 90/100-16 rear tyre for balanced youth or supermoto builds
-
Run lower PSI for grip: 12–13 psi front
-
Use with 17x1.6” rim for best profile and cornering support
-
Consider raising handlebars slightly to balance lower front geometry
