Thinking about replacing your Light Bee 1 with a Light Bee 2? A new bike can be tempting, but for many riders, upgrading the Light Bee already in the garage can deliver a bigger performance change for the money.
The battery, motor and controller define how strongly an electric motorcycle accelerates, how consistently it delivers power and how well the complete system performs under load. Instead of paying for an entirely new platform, a properly matched upgrade lets you invest directly in the parts you feel every time you open the throttle.
Keep the bike you know. Upgrade the performance you want.
If your Light Bee 1 chassis is in good condition and already fits your riding style, there may be no need to replace the complete bike. A high-output battery and compatible motor system can transform the existing platform while allowing you to retain your familiar frame, suspension setup and accessories.
This approach can offer better value because your budget goes toward usable power, capacity and thermal performance instead of duplicating components that are already working well.
Start with the battery: TRB POWER 72V 45Ah

| Supported rated power | Up to 22.2kW when correctly matched |
| BMS options | Bluetooth ANT / JK BMS |
| Protection | IP67 waterproof protection |
| Customization | Cells, connectors and system configuration |
Why upgrade the battery and motor together?
A performance build works best as a system. A stronger motor cannot deliver its potential if the battery, controller, cabling or connectors become the limiting factor. Likewise, a high-discharge battery should be matched with components that can use its output safely and efficiently.
Planning the battery and motor upgrade together helps align voltage, current limits, connectors, cable size, controller settings, gearing and cooling. The result is a cleaner build with fewer bottlenecks and a more dependable power curve.
What can be included in a customized battery package?
Depending on the selected configuration, a TRB POWER solution can be supplied with the battery, matched charger, high-current discharge cables and connectors, circuit protection and installation accessories. Cell type, BMS, connectors and cable layout can be customized for the target motorcycle and power system.
Package contents vary by order. The product image shows a representative kit; confirm the final battery specification, charger, connectors and included accessories before purchase.
Is upgrading always the right choice?
Upgrade the Light Bee 1 when the chassis is healthy and you want to put more of your budget into power and capacity. A new motorcycle may make more sense when the existing frame, suspension, brakes or other major systems also need replacement.
Before installing a high-output battery or motor, verify physical fitment, voltage compatibility, controller limits, wiring, connectors, gearing, braking and thermal management. High-power systems should be configured and installed by an experienced technician.
Build the Light Bee you actually want
For many riders, the smartest step beyond a stock Light Bee 1 is not automatically a Light Bee 2. It is a carefully matched battery and motor system built around the bike they already own.
Tell TRB POWER your motorcycle model, controller, motor, target power and riding goals. We can help configure a compatible battery solution for your build.
