Aircraft
I was conducting an intro flight in Aircraft X. We had begun our take off roll and got to rotation speed; the aircraft left the ground and was slow to climb. I was pitched at about 10 to 12 degrees.The aircraft then had a reduction in power about 75 ft. off the ground before the engine surged back into full power. Once realizing that we were not going to have sufficient power to maintain the climb I immediately pulled the power back to idle and landed on the remaining runway. Air speed was approximately 95 kts. We landed with about 300 ft. remaining which resulted in a runway excursion of approximately 5 ft. There was no damage to the aircraft or airfield lighting. I taxied the aircraft back to the ramp and was able to shut down; no further incidents.
Pilot reported aborting takeoff at 75 feet AGL after engine power loss and landing on remaining runway.
