Rider's questions

Does the motor work with the torp controller? 1 Answer

Christian

Absolutely, it's a hall sensor version like the stock motor so every controller out there is compatible.

Voltage: 48V – 120V? 1 Answer

David

Quentin mto logo

it will indeed work with batteries ranging from 48 to 120V. Although it is optimised for 72V and more.

Hi. Is it possible to order this motor allready mounted with the encoder sensor instead of the hall sensor? 1 Answer

eazy

Quentin mto logo

Hi there, No we don't pre-install the encoder. Please also note that the encoder plug is different from the hall sensor that comes stock on the Light Bee (as encoder needs 7 wires vs 6 on the hall) so this might not be plug and play with your controller.

Can this motor go 100mph like the torp tm25? 1 Answer

Jason

Yes it can. Now this will also depend on the rest of your setup.

Hi guys, I love your work on the Surrons, it’s great! Is this Sotion motor compatible with the encoder for an Nucular 24F? It’s not the newest P24F. THX in advance.. Greetings from Belgium👋 Jim 1 Answer

Hey Jim, Thank you very much for your support. I'm not 100% confident that the encoder will flawlessly work with the older Nuc version. I (Quentin) prefer the simplicity and reliability of the Hall sensor. For this reason, we'll only sell hall motors from now on and will offer the encoders as spare parts for those who want to change. Encoder chip is a 5min change and isn't very expensive. So I'd say your best bet is to take both. Worse case, you send it back to us and we'll issue a refund for the unused sensor 😉
