Description
Looking for enhanced power, increased torque, and extended top end performance? Look no further than the Sur Ron Ultra Bee Sotion Motor.
Whether you’re conquering mountain peaks or cruising on the asphalt, the Sotion Motor delivers an exhilarating extra surge of power.
Meticulously crafted for the Sur Ron Ultra Bee, this motor features a larger rotor, an expanded stator, and groundbreaking IPM technology. It’s not just about gaining power; it’s a revolutionary efficiency overhaul.
MTO Racing Edition
Focused on enduro riding, the MTO Racing Edition excels in various situations, from torque demanding uphills to high speed sprints exceeding 100km/h, to hard enduro sections requiring instant torque bursts.
After extensive testing with various controllers, we requested Sotion to make some winding adjustments for improved performance distribution. In simple terms, it heats up less at low speed, offers a more linear torque distribution, and will deliver an electrifying experience every time you pin the throttle.
Now, let’s talk power, and we mean serious business:
- An astonishing 16kW continuous power and a mind-boggling 32kW (43HP) peak power.
- A torque of 25Nm at the shaft, peaking at 70Nm, guaranteed to give you goosebumps.
- Revving up to 6500rpm at nominal voltage, with an insane 9000rpm at peak speed.
Numbers might seem mundane, so let’s put it in perspective: with the Ultra Bee weighing around 90kg, riding with the Sotion motor means having 1HP for 2.06kg. Just for comparison, the KTM 450 SX-F has 1HP for 2.02kg (but whith a very narrow powerband inherent to petrol engines). Not bad!
Buckle up because when you pin the throttle, it’s not just going to pull; it’s going to pull hard, really hard! Get ready to be swept away in a symphony of raw energy that transcends the ordinary and propels you into the extraordinary.
Hall sensor vs. Encoder
When it comes to choosing between the Hall sensor and the Encoder, we’ll skip the overly technical stuff to keep things clear.
Simply put, the Hall sensor has the advantage of being supported by all controllers and being more reliable thanks to a simpler design.
On the paper it’s slightly less precise than an encoder, but let’s be realistic: encoders are often used in precision CNC machines, we don’t need nanometer precision here. All the more that most controllers switch to sensorless beyound 5-10km/h.
This is the very reason we chose Hall Sensor as a default. Now if Encoder is your cup of tea, we keep them readily available and switching is litteraly a 30sec task that could be done by a 6 year old.
Compatible controllers include: the Nucular, the Torp TC500 (from 2023), the TC 1000, the EBMX X9000 and the Far Driver.
