^I know nothing about gaming or technology for that matter, but what does a CF desk offer? Does it raise faster? What's it's 24" lifting speed? Is it appearance? If you get pissed at the game it's probably easier to flip over I suppose?

I've been keeping an eye on these the last several years, as performance has increased and prices have come down. Is this Ultra Bee model going to be a bit larger than the Surron Light Bee?

There is also the Talaria Sting, which is a bit larger and apparently made by some guys formerly with Surron. It has a chain drive and closed gearbox among some other potential improvements.
Yeah, the Ultra Bee is the in-between of the Light Bee and the Storm Bee - size, weight, and power-wise.

Here's a screenshot from a YouTube vid with some number breakdowns:

I'm definitely planning on getting the Ultra Bee, but I want to go test ride the Light Bee X and would consider owning both. Light Bee is more unassuming and seems like you could get away with a lot more 'urban freeride' before getting hassled by security.

I've checked out some Surron X vs Talaria Sting vids. I think I'd still prefer the Surron X, but it's nice to see some competition and more options in this new, niche e-bike/moto market.

I'd love to have a bike again - had an 01 CBR 600 F4i in college, bought it off a guy in the Navy who was being deployed and had to get rid of it, fast. Was a project so a bit cosmetically in bad shape, but ran like a top. Was such a fun project to bring back to life and of course, ride the hell out of it.

Shoot I did miss that spot! Haha I will get it tonight!

Ya I couldnt get very wide wheels and tires on it. Had to settle with 315s all around.
