- čas přidán 14. 10. 2024
- In this video I test the Torp TC500 in more depth and do a few tests on the bike such as a comparison to the standard power of the Surron Light Bee x.
I also do some full speed tests and wheelie tests.
I also talk about a few corrections I had to make to the calibration of the speedo and go over a few of the settings in the Torp app.
Any questions please feel free to ask in the comments below.

this thing is 🔥 I only did first initial ride, didnt even set the throttle to aggressive but it already pull forward like mad 😅 cant even imagine how strong 72V is, pure insanity
It’s incredible isn’t it!! Insane power upgrade. It will be a different machine altogether with a 72V battery!
@@mattfrancisofficial yep it feels totally different, even motor is working smoother imo or is it because I finally turn off roll gas regen (with stock controller that was problematic for me), 72V must be a killer in stupid hands xD
field weakening is truly amazing! I've turned mine to full and It's like a second power band, you feel it start to pull at 25mph+
Is that using a Torp controller as well?
@@mattfrancisofficial I have the x9000, however from what I understand field weakening is sort of a universal thing.
Great video bro! Keep them coming🔥🔥 I need to get me a battery upgrade so I can get more power
Thank you my guy! Definitely more to come. And brooo i’m on that vibe, a 72V battery and the TC500 will be a huge game changer👌🏻🔋⚡️
quick bike with the 54t sprocket! best controller for the surron in my opinion!
Definitely surprised me how good it is. Glad you think its a decent product too. Still need to try with upgraded batteries for sure! 🔋⚡️
Loving the vids mate keep it up!🔥💯
Thank you!!💯⚡️ definitely more to come
So many people claim that eco mode gives you better range so I've done some tests. I've ran the same track / distance with the same speed but one time on eco mode and the other time on sport. Stock battery (charged to 100% before both test runs), stock controller. There was zero difference in the battery drain between both runs. But I'm wondering if the aftermarket controller alone would make a difference since people say the stock one is quite unefficient.
Thats very interesting! Something i never tested myself which i wish i had! I did go riding with 2 other standard surrons the other day and I was getting more range than they were. When they got to 50% i was still around 63%.
This would indicate that the Torp controller is more efficient than the stock controller. I’ll have to experiment more with this in future for a video🔋⚡️
In addition to my first reply. I was running more power than the stock surrons as well so even when using more power the Torp controller was more efficient from what I experienced. 👍🏻
I feel like stock tune with a bigger sprocket is proper for learning wheelies. It's a bit hard to get up without that bigger sprocket.
I should of stated that in the video really shouldn’t I! I’ve used a 56t sprocket after a month of having my surron so i forget to relate to people that would still be using stock sprocket. Although i do think anyone who is still using a 48t stock sprocket needs to upgrade to at least a 54t sprocket! The torque increase is amazing and top speed loss is minimal!
In your previous video you said that torp controller allow stock display use but what about horn? Can I still use stock horn with Torp TC500?
Yes the horn will still work with the TC500. If you also purchase the torp display you would have to leave the standard horn button on the bike with the eco and sport mode button attached. You can remove the speedo display from eco/sport mode buttons. The standard eco/sport mode buttons can be used together with the Torp display as the Torp display plugs directly into the controller. Personally i removed the whole display and eco/sport mode buttons because my horn button was faulty.
I hope this helps! 🔋⚡️
learning wheelies with stock can be fine however weight of the rider must be considered in the equation right? I'm 90kg. what about you if I may ask?
Yeah you’re probably right, weight would make a difference but it’s all about how you use your weight to balance as well. I’m a light guy, around 60kg and sitting at the back of the seat made a very small difference to how the bike came back where as if you are heavier it makes it easier to get the front wheel up
The total in GBP was £725 for just the controller. But its worth noting that I had to pay an additional £170 Duty/customs charges before DHL would deliver. So the total is about £900
I didnt have import duty’s for some reason so that saved me the cost of that too.
Still worth the £900 id say, its such an impressive controller.
If I upgrade to TC500 with stock 60v battery, and 54t sprocket, will I get over 45mph?
Yes mate definitely! i use a 60V 38ah stock battery and a 56t sprocket, i can get up to 51/52 mph so its slightly faster than a standard surron. The torque increase alone is worth it. The bike is a different beast with the torp controller 🔋⚡️
@@mattfrancisofficial Great to hear! My bike is actually a cinebike for filming onset for commercials and movies. Noise is always a concern. I'm concerned my belt on the motor will break with the extra power. I imagine upgrading to a chain (warp 9) is necessary?
I personally haven’t upgraded to a chain kit and have never had problems with my belt, never slipped or snapped on me and have been using the same belt for just over a year. I’d say once you start going above the 12KW stage you would benefit more from a chain conversion kit but i’ve known people to ride higher than 12KW and still have no trouble with their belts. I suppose it comes down to personal experience and preference and i will be trying a chain kit in the future but for now the belt drive is more than capable for me🔋⚡️
@@VidMuzeyou do understand that chain drive is a lot noisier?
@@harrirauhanummi Right... that's why I don't want to convert to chain.
Did you put the wheel rim diameter in or the overhaul size with tyre. ?
The overall size including the tyre, measured from one side to the other from tip of the rubber.
So is the surron with the tc500 comparable to the talaria sting r?
I would say its far superior to the talaria sting r in stock form!
How's the Torp TC500 holding up? Still using the stock battery? Any damage to the battery buy using upgraded controller? Thanks man!
The tc500 is still going strong and definitely still one of my favourite upgrades! The battery is doing well also, my battery is nearly 2 years old and the over all capacity has definitely dropped leading to less range per full charge but this well happen to any battery. For example an iphone battery will only perform at peak performance for 6-12 months before the over all capacity drops and then it wont last anywhere near as long! Thats the only downfall i’ve noticed battery wise. 🔋⚡️
What size of sprocket were you running in this video?
I was using a 56t sprocket, obviously with stock sprocket there would be a more increased top speed but i prefer more torque 👌🏻🔋⚡️
Whats easier the knee knock or standard wheelie ??
I find knee knocks easier now but when I couldn’t wheelie at all it was a lot scarier to try than a standard wheelie. Definitely better to start with a standard wheelie though
what tires are those?
I think these were kenda tyres, 240 of something like that. Its in a previous video which ones they are!
do you run 0 re gen?
0 regen in sport but a small amount of regen in eco 💯🔋⚡️
please dont get the torp this is scam product
How is it a scam? 😂
@@mattfrancisofficial torp is a stolen vesc stripped down in a way designed to fail. they are currently facing backlash from the proprietors
