The Winning Build
Team SuperHuman entry was a heavily modified Sur-Ron Light Bee X featuring a custom Torp controller tune, a 72V 50Ah battery pack built from Samsung 50E cells, a hand-fabricated chromoly subframe, and a striking white-and-gold livery that drew crowds all weekend. The build was notable not just for its looks but for its performance it took second place in the hill climb, third in the technical trials, and first in the people choice award.
The Competition
Second place went to a team from Germany with a Tesla-swapped dirt bike that pushed the boundaries of what is possible with OEM automotive cells. Third place was a tie between an Australian team with a 3D-printed hub motor bike and a Japanese entry featuring a fully integrated carbon fiber monocoque frame.
The diversity of the builds showed how far the e-moto builder community has come. Five years ago, most competition builds were Sur-Ron with bolt-on parts. Now builders are fabricating frames from scratch, writing custom firmware, and pushing power figures that were unthinkable in the segment.
What It Means
Team SuperHuman win is a sign that the custom e-moto scene is maturing. As more builders enter the space and compete at higher levels, the technology and creativity on display will only get better. For anyone thinking about building their own e-moto, the message is clear: the bar is rising, but the community is there to help you clear it.
