Putting a HUGE electric motor in my e-bike! (Surron Sotion motor review)

Рет қаралды 43,304

7 ай бұрын

Every surron rider is talking about the Sotion motor ... but is it worth it? Is it good for wheelies? Does it make your surron super fast?? I installed it on my Surron to find out if it's worth the hype.
Big thanks to GLE for sending over this motor for review!

Sotion motor: www.glengineering.co/products...
(this motor is compatible with Surron e-bikes with upgraded controllers - like the BAC4000 or BAC8000. Pls consult with GLE or Sotion before ordering to make sure it'll work with your bike!)

Omg.. first,this is the first, whatever this is, I've ever seen.. which is really cool.. I was watching Hatfield McCoy trail videos, and this popped up in the feed.. If you took this (stock) to a trail system with your gasoline buddies, could you run all day with the ups and downs and go through creeks with it half underwater when need be? Also, how long does it take to fast charge it if it can be ?

@logan-taylor 5 ай бұрын

these things are great for tight trail riding! But the stock battery might not last quite all day - but would be tons of fun for many hours. They handle water reasonably well.

@trentbikes 7 ай бұрын

It's not the "pieces", it's the possible connections, it's the windings that can burn out due to so much current. Then the plastics inside nearby (if any)

did you get it from GLE? You’ll need to update your firmware so that the BAC works with the motor, so try emailing the vendor of your controller and see if they can help!!

Can you just run any 3 phase motor on an ebike? Like motors for industrial machinery? I'd be cool with a big okd motor so ling as I had modern battery cells capable of 240v+. I wouldnt mind a heavy battery as long as it was low and centered. The problem comes in with vehicle laws. Too much power and it becomes a motorcycle.

@SCPMstudios 5 ай бұрын

Probably could but that bike would weigh like 200lbs minimum, I’m guessing you wouldn’t really get any speed or range.

I have every upgrade on my Surron except for this motor will it drain my battery

@logan-taylor 7 ай бұрын

seems like it drains a bit quicker, but that's probably because I just accelerate harder way more haha - it's worth it, you can always turn down phase amps or peak power a tiny bit to compensate, but still have a faster bike!

Stock motor is pretty good for what it is, been running it on 12-14kw for a year and it works fine. Encoder based motors and controllers do seem like the future tho.

I wonder if the old motor having that resistance helps with regen. Have you noticed the regen change with the new motor?

@logan-taylor 7 ай бұрын

since it has bigger internals, hypothetically you should be able to return more power when using regen. the resistance of stock is just mechanical drag, unfortunately, so i think it might actually hurt regen efficiency :-/
