The KTM Freeride EXC has a nominal power output of 9kW and a peak output of 18kW. It’s got a removable, 3.9kWh battery and it’s suspended by a WP XPLOR 43mm fork and WP PDS shock. The KTM Freeride weighs 245 pounds and recently had a price increase from $10,499 to $11,299

The Surron Storm Bee has a nominal power of 10kW and a peak output of 22.5kW. It’s got a removable, 5.7kWh battery and it’s suspended by a FastAce fork and shock. The Storm tested here weighs 291 pounds, with the F version weighing 280 pounds. The Storm Bee F will MSRP at $8,499.

The Surron Storm is the more affordable option by about $2,800. It’s got a higher top speed of approximately 70mph and it’s more comfortable if you’re looking for a mellow riding experience. It feels more relaxed than it does sporty. The suspension is plush and soft. Which is why I keep comparing it to a Suzuki DRZ or Honda XR Internal Combustion bike. Out of the 2 bikes, the Surron is heavier by about 45 pounds and that, paired with the softer suspension can be noticeable if you start pushing the bike hard. Surron claims a seat height of 37 inches but my test bike was sitting much lower than that thanks to its super low cut seat. This is great for standover height but it feels a little awkward when you’re sitting down.

According to my tape measure, the Surron Storm has a ground clearance of roughly 11.75", which comes in approximately 3.5" lower than the KTM Freeride EXC. The Storm has a better LCD display and a lot more programmable features than the KTM. The Surron utilizes a 110v charger which is more convenient for charging options but it means that recharging the battery takes significantly longer.

The battery on the Storm Bee is easily removable by removing the seat, disconnecting the connection points, releasing these clasps, and pulling the battery out.

Oh yeah, and it’s got reverse and turbo mode.

The KTM Freeride is more expensive, with a current MSRP of $11,299. It’s got a lower top speed than the Storm, coming in at approximately about 48mph.

What it lacks in comfort when compared to the Storm, it makes up for with a more sporty and nimble feel. A quick translation is that it feels like you’re riding on top the bike rather than in the bike. Although the WP suspension is smaller in size than the FastAce equipment found on the Surron, it has superior performance off road.

The throttle mapping and power delivery on the KTM feels more refined and has better rear wheel connection than the Storm. It utilizes a 220v charger which can make recharging somewhat inconvenient but the upside is that battery charges significantly quicker when you have access to 220 power.

The KTM Freeride battery is easily removable by releasing the seat latch, loosening the four, 10mm bolts that keep the battery in place and pulling the battery out.
