Super Soco TC Max. A cheap electric motorcycle review

Super Soco TC Max. A cheap electric motorcycle review. This bike is the equivalent to a 125cc petrol bike. There are benefits to owning an electric bike but there are also issues. This bike will not be suitable for people that do more than 50 miles in 1 day as charging is slow. If however you only do a few miles then this will be perfect. Great performance and loads of fun. Hope you enjoy the video. Feel free to drop a comment.

They are selling this bike for just £2099 !

I got this bike delivered the same day I did my CBT about a month ago.
At 52 I wanted something easy to get some road confidence so automatic was ideal.
I've put 300miles on it, commuting to work which is a 50mile round trip.
The roads are country A roads and covers 30 up to 60mph.
I'm about 5ft 10" and with all my gear on close to 100kg
The bike will only show about 55mph on the clock so probably about 50mph top speed in mode 3.
It does hold up traffic!
Mine came with the 10amp charger and it takes about 4-5 hours to fully charge. Not really timed it, but have noticed if I turn the bike on as soon as the green charged light comes on, on the charger it will show 99% charged on the display. If I leave it plugged in for longer then power up the bike it will show 100%
The ranges have increased after a few recharge cycles of the battery.
One the display it shows the following Mode 1 = 87miles
Mode 2 = 56miles and Mode 3 = 43miles.
So far the average for me to do the 25miles to work from a full 100% charge leaves me with 27% remaining. So I do have to charge it at work for the return journey.
I do switch between the 3 modes leaving it in Mode 1 when going through the villages as you are limited to about 35mph. In Mode 2 limited to about 46-48mph and Mode 3 gives a shown speed of 55mph although I think it's more like 50mph.
In the wind coming home it really suffered and wouldn't get to 50mph, which is too slow really for some of the roads I travel on.
It is very easy to ride and seems to handle very well, as this is my first ever motorbike can't compare it to anything!
It would be nice if the top speed was 65mph and it could actually achieve this as it would make it ideal for my use, as it does hold the traffic up in certain places.
The battery is only 45amp/hour so not that large capacity although larger batteries are available from aliexpress.
I have sent emails to Vmoto to get information and never got a reply. The dealer where I got the bike hadn't even set it up correctly so was unable to charge the battery when in the bike which you can do. There was an extra cable plugged in, which you just unplug and take out and plug the external charge socket in its place. The battery is about 22kg and it can be removed and taken inside to charge.
Overall I'm happy with it but just the little extra on top speed and a slight increase in range would make it an ideal commuter for traveling from a village into a city. As it is, probably only really suited to city commutes.

love supporting vmoto the more support they receive the better product they will produce in the future I can see this company becoming massive

whether we like it or not electric vehicles are here to stay, best part of that is that the tech is progressing rapidly and will improve quickly but they have a fair way to go before they become jump on/in without a thought and just go

Best review ever - entertaining and full of relevant info - great job.

I have tried to get that model in Ireland and it is impossible because of the Tax, almost 7, 000 euros. Excellent review my friend!

I’m not sold on electric. They don’t have the range for what I need. Looks like fun for a little blast though

[toughguy]

Yup, looks pretty good, but value wise still can’t beat the “Eahora M1P Pro”

Interesting to watch from someone looking to get an electric bike in due course. Thanks. Now that electric motorbikes and scooters have been around a while it would be interesting to get reviews about longevity. For example, The TC Max is a Chinese budget bike. Fair enough. How well are they lasting? Battery still good? Signs of rust? Chrome bits still shiny? Issues that have arisen over time? Manufacturer and dealership support? Hope that makes sense 😊

[andyfidler]

Thanks for an interesting video. After its release there were many comments about the speedo being calibrated incorrectly, so higher speeds showing than reality. Has this now been corrected or does it remain an issue on the newer models? Still no centre stand either, I see?

[AlexelleLee]

I subscribed. will be looking forward to the dance in the future~ kidding aside. its a really nice bike., good for city riding i suppose.

[LasseMan]

Why was there no melody playing when you started the bike? I didn’t know it was a choice.

How tough is it to get insured. I ask because there are some insurance companies who refuse to insure electric vehicles because of the risk of spontaneous combustion

[steveulliott]

actually your lucky to get 50 miles range out of it let alone 100!, on the soco website it says 40 miles highway, 50 miles combined & city roads 60 miles, if you ride this normaly on different speed roads 50 miles is what you should expect to achieve
