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

Jim

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 😉

Hi. If I use torp 500 controller what version I need to choose? Hall or encoder? 1 Answer

Hello mate, hall offers the widest compatibility, go with Hall ;)

Torque Monster but Heat Lingers

This 26kW Sotion motor turned my Light Bee into a beast—insane torque rips wheelies on command, no more power drops past 30km/h. Pushed it hard on muddy trails, efficiency is next level, still had juice for 35km runs. Looks sick too, that racing edition vibe. Minor nitpick: gets warm after long hauls in the heat, but fans help. Solid upgrade, don't sleep on it.

Torque Monster for the Bee

Swapped in this 26kW Sotion motor on my Light Bee and holy shit, the torque is insane—no more power drops above 30km/h on those twisty UK trails. Ripped through muddy singletrack without overheating, efficiency is next level, pulled 50km easy. Looks badass too, like a proper race build. No nitpicks, this thing transforms the bike. Worth every penny, MTO nailed it.

Torque Monster, Handles the Heat

This 26kW Sotion motor is a game-changer for the Light Bee. Insane torque rips wheelies out the gate, no more power drops over 30km/h. Pushed it hard on muddy enduro trails in the German forests, efficiency kept temps low even after 2 hours. Looks sick too, blacked out vibes. Minor nitpick: install took an extra hour tweaking the mount. Solid upgrade tho, worth the coin for real riders.

Insane torque monster

Swapped this 26kW Sotion into my Light Bee and holy shit, the torque is unreal—no more power drops past 30km/h. Ripped wheelies on muddy trails, no overheating even in the heat. Efficiency is next level, pushed 50km mixed enduro with juice to spare. Looks badass too. Total game-changer, worth every penny.

Insane Torque, But Runs Hot!

This 26kW Sotion is a beast for the Light Bee! Crazy torque from the bottom end, I was popping wheelies effortlessly on muddy trails. It holds power all the way to 60km/h without faltering, unlike stock. Amazing efficiency, but it does get seriously hot after 20km in full throttle mode. You've gotta keep an eye on it, or you'll overheat it. Looks fantastic though. MTO did a great job, it's well worth it for enduro riders.
