Why buy the Mantis X Pro from Empire
The most power and speed of the standard bikes here — at a sharp price, with a local shop behind it.
- ✓Most power & top speed here. 15 kW peak and 65 mph — ahead of the standard Ultra Bee (12.5 kW / 56 mph), the Hyper Bee and the Talaria.
- ✓More bike for the money. $4,599 — nearly $1,900 under the Ultra Bee, and lighter than it too (159 vs ~187 lb).
- ✓Set up and serviced by Empire. Assembled, checked and backed by a 1-year power-system warranty — with Up Front Pricing, so freight and setup are already in the number.
- ●Straight talk. The Ultra Bee carries a much bigger 74V battery for more range — and Sur-Ron offers a higher-output Ultra Bee “HP” that out-powers the Mantis, at a higher price. There’s a local Sur-Ron dealer too, and the Hyper Bee is lighter and cheaper (though a smaller bike making about half the power).
And the price is the price. Our advertised number already includes freight, setup and our documentation fee — only sales tax and title/registration are added.

Detailed spec rows were taken from each maker’s own published source on September 10, 2026: the official RAWRR Mantis X Pro owner’s manual, Sur-Ron’s official US pages for the Ultra Bee and Hyper Bee X 2026 (Sur-Ron publishes no brake specifications and no warranty terms on those pages), and Talaria’s official talaria.cn Sting R MX page (Talaria states no model years, marks its figures preliminary, and publishes no warranty — US-market coverage comes from its authorized US distributor). Torque figures are shown on the basis each maker publishes: motor torque and at-the-wheel torque are different measures (wheel torque is multiplied through the gearing) and cannot be compared across columns. Other figures are from manufacturer and published sources; competitor specs and prices are approximate, vary by trim and market, and should be verified before purchase. MSRPs exclude tax and title/registration. Video links are independent third-party YouTube reviews for research; Empire Cycle & Powersports is not affiliated with the creators.
