Electric off-road giant Sur-Ron has won a design-patent lawsuit against E RIDE PRO in a court in Ningbo, China. The court found infringement of a design patent derived from the Light Bee model, ordering the defendant to halt sales and pay roughly €700,000 in damages. It's another win for the company, following a victory against Talaria in the US in January.

Technically speaking, the point at issue is that particular Light Bee design - a lightweight frame with the motor placed on the swingarm side. The court in Ningbo ruled several E RIDE PRO models infringing and ordered damages of about €700,000 along with a sales ban. As fact rather than sentiment, Sur-Ron has won on home turf too, following its Talaria lawsuit victory in the US. You could call it the rightful claim of whoever built the design philosophy that founded this whole category.

Lawsuits piling up this much over electric off-road bikes is proof the market's gotten big.

There were way too many blatant Light Bee copies, figured this would happen eventually.

Didn't know the E RIDE PRO was a copy of the Sur-Ron...

Talaria already got hit back in January too, isn't Sur-Ron on a winning streak here?

700,000 euros comes to about 120 million yen, that's gotta really hurt for E RIDE PRO's side.

A sales injunction probably does more damage than the damages payout itself.

Honestly surprised a Chinese court ruled in favor of a design infringement claim.
