EICMA 2026 runs 3 to 8 November at Fiera Milano Rho, and of the five lightweight electric brands we sell, two have genuinely new bikes on their stands. Sur-Ron has the Light Bee 2, in off-road X and road-legal L3 forms, 24kW and 65kg. Talaria is in Hall 11 with its homologated range and nothing new reported during the press days. 79Bike, Y-Volt's parent company, has posters of a 42kW Surge V RS on its stand, due in 2027, which 79Bike's rep confirmed to us directly this week; RFN has announced no Milan launch at all. That is the state of play as we publish, and we will update this page as the public days roll on.
What did Sur-Ron bring to EICMA 2026?
Sur-Ron UK is in Hall 22, stand L48, with the five-bike MY26 range and the new Light Bee 2. The Light Bee 2 is not a facelift. It is a new forged-aluminium frame, a new 78.54V 45Ah semi-solid-state battery (3.53kWh), a 24kW motor with 410Nm at the wheel, and an IMU-driven electronics package with two-level wheelie control, traction control, five-level regen and cruise control. Sur-Ron quotes 0 to 50km/h in 1.8 seconds and a 56mph top speed. The X is off-road only and is the one we sell; the L3 is L3e homologated and DVLA-registerable, 3kg heavier, and not something we stock at the moment.
For context, that is Ultra Bee power in a bike 23.5kg lighter than the Ultra Bee 2026, with a battery that charges 20 to 80 percent in two hours. The original Light Bee defined the e-moto category in 2018; this one is Sur-Ron's answer to every brand that copied it. It helps that Sur-Ron won its US patent case against Talaria in February and a Chinese design-patent ruling against E-Ride Pro in July, both reported by The Pack. The company is in a combative mood and the Light Bee 2 is the product version of that.

Sources: our own Sur-Ron guide and Sur-Ron UK, 5 November 2026. Sur-Ron UK lists a 10kW MY26 Light Bee X; we sell the 2025, which is why those figures differ from other write-ups. Sur-Ron UK had not published a Light Bee 2 RRP at the time of writing; the EU RRP is €5,890.
The Light Bee 2.0 is on our site at £4,695 and we are waiting on our stock allocation from the UK importer. Register your interest on the Light Bee 2.0 product page and we will message you when it lands; the rest of the range is on the Sur-Ron collection page. If you are sitting on a MY25 or MY26 Light Bee X and wondering what this does to its value, the short answer is: not much this winter, because the Light Bee 2 is a different price bracket. The long answer is in our clearance section, where every used bike carries a condition grade.
Is Talaria at EICMA 2026, and is there anything new?
Yes, and not that we can find. Talaria is listed in Hall 11 alongside Kawasaki, Kymco, Hero and Vmoto, according to Quotidiano Motori's hall map. Last year the Komodo TL6000 was the headline: L3e homologated, A1-licence friendly, a 97.2V 45Ah Greenway battery and 250mm of fork travel. This year the Italian and UK press have reported nothing new from the stand during the two press days. If that changes before Sunday, we will add it here.
The bigger Talaria story in 2026 was the courtroom, not the show floor. Sur-Ron's US patent win in February puts a question mark over how freely Talaria can keep iterating on the Light Bee template in some markets. For UK buyers it changes nothing today. The five Talarias we stock, X3 Mini up to the Komodo at £5,195, are unaffected, and all five are the off-road versions.
79Bike, Y-Volt and RFN: what's new?
One new bike, on posters rather than a plinth, and nobody else has reported it. 79Bike, the company behind Y-Volt, is back in Milan with the Falcon Pro and Falcon GT it launched there last year and with posters of the 2027 Y-Volt Surge V RS on the stand (more below). The Falcon Pro is the lighter one: 10kW, 59kg, 19-inch wheels at both ends, about 56mph, £3,199. The Falcon GT is the one with more motor and more brake: 16.8kW, 69kg with the battery in, a 19/18 wheel pair, about 59mph, £3,699. Both are 72V, both off-road only, and both are on back-order with us; details on the 79Bike collection.
Y-Volt, 79Bike's sister brand, currently has one bike, the Surge V, and it only launched in April. The Surge V RS follows in 2027: 79Bike has it on posters at EICMA, and its rep confirmed to us directly this week that peak power goes to 42kW, up from 35kW. That is the whole of what we know: no spec sheet, no price and no official image yet, and we will publish them the moment 79Bike does. The Surge V as it stands is the biggest-hitting thing we sell: 35kW peak, 68mph on the sheet we go by, 92.9kg with the battery in, and £5,999. That is Ultra Bee money for a lot more bike, and a long way short of Stark Varg money, which is exactly where the market has a gap. See the Y-Volt page.
RFN has nothing new reported from Milan. What we stock from RFN is the Warrior range of kids' and youth motocross bikes, SX-E400 up to SX-E800 plus the SX-E2, where you set the speed and a lanyard cuts the power if they come off; all of it is on the RFN collection. RFN's adult Ares Rally bikes are a different proposition and not something we carry, but Australian Dirt Bike magazine's May 2026 test of the Ares Endurance is a fair read on where the brand is heading.
What this means if you are buying this winter
Three things. First, the Light Bee 2 resets the lightweight class: 24kW at 65kg makes an 8kW Light Bee X look like what it is, a very good bike from a previous generation, and Y-Volt's 42kW Surge V RS will do the same to the mid-size class next year. Second, Zero has refreshed its road-legal XE for 2027 at the same £5,590 and put a sub-£8,000 supermoto on the table, which matters because Zero is the one manufacturer in this space with a dealer and warranty structure that looks like a motorcycle company's. Our Zero post covers it in full. Third, Honda and Yamaha have raced their electric motocrossers in public but are still not selling you one, while two US startups, Bonnell and Ventus, are selling mid-size bikes with that sort of power right now and have no UK distribution yet. Here is where the big manufacturers actually stand.
If you want to talk through any of it, message us on WhatsApp (text only) or come to the shop at Emley Business Park, weekdays 10am to 4pm, weekends by appointment. Several of these bikes are still on their way in, so check before you set off.
