Sur-Ron Ultra Bee Graphics Kits — How to Customize Your eMX Bike

Sur-Ron Ultra Bee Graphics Kits — How to Customize Your eMX Bike

If you ride a Sur-Ron Ultra Bee, you already know it doesn't look — or feel — like anything else on the trail. Wider stance than a Light Bee, real motocross-spec geometry, an enclosed mid-drive motor pumping out up to 21kW, and big flat plastics begging for color. Stock, the Ultra Bee already turns heads. With a custom Sur-Ron Ultra Bee graphics kit, it becomes unmistakably yours. This guide walks through everything you need to know about customizing your Ultra Bee with graphics kits, wraps, and decals — what fits where, what materials hold up to eMX abuse, and how to install your kit so it looks like a factory bike rolled out of a race shop.

Why the Sur-Ron Ultra Bee Is Built for Custom Graphics

Before we get into kits, it helps to understand why the Ultra Bee is such a fun bike to dress up. Sur-Ron designed the Ultra Bee around full-size motocross dimensions, not the smaller pit-bike footprint of the Light Bee. That gives you bigger plastic surfaces — wider radiator shrouds, taller side number plates, a beefier front fender, and a proper rear fender — all of which give graphics designers room to actually do something interesting.

The 2025 and 2026 Ultra Bee HP models step things up further. With 18kW continuous in Sport mode, 21kW peak in Turbo mode, a 74V/60Ah battery, fully adjustable inverted forks, and a top speed around 95 km/h, this is no longer a toy bike pretending to be a moto. It's an actual eMX race weapon. And serious race weapons deserve serious livery.

The flat panel surfaces also matter for installation. Curvy, compound-shaped plastics (think old-school enduro shrouds) are notoriously hard to wrap without bubbling or lifting. The Ultra Bee's panels are relatively flat and broad, which means a well-cut graphics kit goes on cleanly even for first-time installers.

What's Included in a Full Ultra Bee Graphics Kit

A complete Sur-Ron Ultra Bee graphics kit is more than a few stickers. A proper kit covers every visible plastic on the bike, giving you a unified look from the front number plate all the way back to the rear fender. Here's what you'll typically find in a full kit:

  • Front number plate / headlight shroud — the first thing anyone sees as you roll up to the line.
  • Front fender — long, narrow, and visible from every angle.
  • Fork guards — small but high-impact, especially with bold accent colors.
  • Ultra Bee Plastics Kit  - this kit includes the side fenders, battery lid fenders and the rear fender decals. This is there the bulk of the design and eye candy comes from.
  • Battery decals — Ultra Bee–specific and one of the most overlooked surfaces for branding.
  • Swingarm decals — optional, but they tie the rear of the bike together.

Some kits also include frame guard panels, fork leg decals, and small accents for the controls. At Summit MX, our full Ultra Bee kits cover the whole bike so the finished look reads as one cohesive design — not a patchwork of mismatched stickers.

Graphics Kits vs Wraps vs Decals — What's the Difference for Your Ultra Bee?

These terms get thrown around like they mean the same thing, but they don't. If you're shopping for Ultra Bee customization, here's a quick breakdown so you buy the right product for your goals.

Graphics Kits

A graphics kit is a pre-cut, pre-designed set of vinyl pieces shaped exactly to fit each panel of your bike. Every piece is contoured to your specific Ultra Bee panel — no trimming, no guessing. This is the standard for motocross and eMX riders because the look is intentional and the install is quick. Kits from Summit MX use thick, motocross-grade vinyl with a strong adhesive layer designed to survive mud, roost, washing, and UV.

Full Wraps

A wrap covers a panel edge-to-edge with a single design rather than a layout of cut shapes. Wraps are great when you want a base color change — say, turning your stock white plastics into a bright fluorescent yellow or a stealth matte black. Wraps and graphics kits are not mutually exclusive: many riders run a base wrap underneath a contrasting graphics kit for a fully built-out look.

Individual Decals

Decals are single-piece stickers — race numbers, sponsor logos, brand badges, fork stickers. If you already have a graphics kit installed and just want to swap your race number for the next moto, decals are the move. They're also the cheapest way to test out a look before committing to a full kit.

Most Ultra Bee owners we work with start with a complete graphics kit, then add personalized decals on top — race numbers, name tape, sponsor stickers — to make it truly one-of-one.

Picking a Design That Works on the Ultra Bee

The Ultra Bee has visual quirks that some kits handle better than others. The frame is exposed in the middle, the battery sits visibly beneath the seat, and the side number plates are taller than what you'd find on a comparable gas dirt bike. Designs that ignore these proportions end up looking awkward.

Color Strategy

Two-tone color blocking tends to look cleanest on the Ultra Bee because the bike already has so much going on visually. Pick a primary color for the shrouds, fenders, and front plate, then use a secondary accent color on the side plates and fork guards to break up the design. Three colors max — anything more and the bike starts to look noisy.

If your bike has the OEM yellow shock spring, designs that pull yellow into the kit look tied together and intentional. Black, white, and red all work as anchor colors with eMX's typical neon accents — green, orange, fluorescent yellow, and pink all pop on a darker base.

Finish Options

You'll typically choose between gloss, matte, and specialty finishes like holographic or chrome. For real eMX riding, gloss vinyl is the easiest to clean — mud and roost wipe off without leaving marks. Matte finishes look incredible in photos and at events but tend to show fingerprints and pressure-washer streaks. Holographic and chrome kits are striking in person but take more care to keep clean.

Race Numbers and Personalization

Most Ultra Bee owners running an actual number choose up to a three digit number in one of our 14 different fonts on the side number plates. If you're not racing, this is your spot for a name, a nickname, or even just a heavy block accent that mirrors the front plate. The front plate number should always match the side plate number for a clean, factory-rider look.

Materials Matter — What to Look For in a Quality Ultra Bee Kit

Cheap graphics kits look great in product photos and look terrible after two rides. The vinyl peels at the edges, the print fades, the adhesive lets go around heat zones near the motor and battery, and the whole kit ends up half-on, half-off your bike. Here's what separates a good kit from one you'll regret.

  • Vinyl thickness: Look for kits in the 20+ mil range. Anything thinner is closer to a sticker than a true graphics kit.
  • Pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA): Quality kits use a PSA designed for outdoor automotive use, with channels that let air escape during installation so the kit lays flat without bubbles.
  • UV-stable inks: The Ultra Bee spends a lot of time in the sun. Cheap inks fade in months. Quality kits use UV-protected, laminated prints that hold their color for years.
  • Heat resistance: Around the motor housing and battery cover, panels can get warm. A quality adhesive holds through heat cycles without lifting at the edges.
  • Pre-cut panel fit: A real Ultra Bee–specific kit hugs every curve and edge with no overhang. If a kit looks like it's "close enough" to fit, walk away.

Summit MX kits are built specifically for the Ultra Bee panel set, with a thick laminate over the printed vinyl for protection against rocks, mud, and UV.

How to Install Your Sur-Ron Ultra Bee Graphics Kit at Home

You don't need a professional installer to put on a quality graphics kit. Most riders can do it in an afternoon with basic tools. Here's the workflow we recommend.

Tools and Setup

You'll need: rubbing alcohol or a dedicated panel prep solvent (avoid harsh chemicals like brake cleaner that can craze the plastics), microfiber towels, a soft squeegee or felt-edge applicator, a hair dryer or low-heat heat gun, a sharp hobby knife, and a clean, well-lit workspace at room temperature. Cold plastics and cold vinyl don't play nice together.

Step 1 — Strip and Clean

Remove any old graphics or stickers. If there's leftover adhesive residue, use rubbing alcohol or a citrus-based adhesive remover and a microfiber towel to get every panel clinically clean. Any dirt, oil, or residue under the new graphic will eventually push through and lift the corners.

Step 2 — Decide What Comes Off the Bike

You can install most panels with the plastics still on the bike. The radiator shrouds and side number plates are easier to do on the bike because the panel is held rigid. The fenders and fork guards are easier to do off the bike on a flat surface. Use your judgment — anything you struggle to lay flat is a candidate for removal.

Step 3 — Start Small

Start with a smaller, simpler piece — like a fork guard or front number plate. Build your confidence and dial in your technique before you tackle the bigger shrouds. Peel back about half the backing paper, line the graphic up against a known reference edge on the panel, and lay it down using the squeegee from the center outward. Work slowly, push out air as you go, and don't stretch the vinyl.

Step 4 — Heat for Curves

Around any curve or compound shape, gently warm the vinyl with a hair dryer. Warm vinyl stretches and conforms; cold vinyl wrinkles and fights you. Keep the heat moving — don't park it in one spot. Push the vinyl into the curve with your thumb or a soft squeegee.

Step 5 — Trim and Tuck

Use a fresh hobby blade to trim any overhang at panel edges. Tuck edges into recesses with a plastic tool so the vinyl sits below the panel surface and won't catch on roost or your boots.

Step 6 — Cure Time

Don't ride or pressure wash the bike for 24–48 hours after installation. The adhesive needs time to fully bond. Once cured, the kit will hold up to riding, washing, and abuse for years.

Caring for Your Ultra Bee Graphics

The number one mistake people make is hitting fresh graphics with a high-pressure washer at point-blank range. Even cured, properly-installed kits don't love a 3,500 PSI nozzle held two inches off an edge. Keep your washer at a reasonable distance, angle the spray with the edges (not against them), and your kit will last as long as your plastics do.

For deep cleaning, use a mild soap and a soft brush — the same stuff you'd use to wash a car. Avoid abrasive scrub pads and harsh degreasers that can dull the laminate. After really muddy rides, a quick rinse before the mud dries makes the post-ride cleanup a five-minute job instead of a thirty-minute one.
