I added a Benelli TNT 249s to complement my existing bikes. No vehicle inspection (MOT) needed on this 250cc motorbike in Japan. Long range touring available with the 16 litre fuel tank and will go to destinations my Super Soco TC Wanderer simply can’t reach. The Benelli is bigger, heavier and more expensive than other bikes in its class. So why did I choose the TNT 249s? Find out in my riding ...

The Surron Light Bee L1e needed some major upgrades. I installed the New Fast Ace 2.0 - 60lbs front forks and a wopping 250mm rear disk rotor.

      Honestly, I don’t think it’s worth it. The hub motor with the suspension is hopeless. The two battery option (with the extra weight) on the front forks is very poor. I think a central (mid) motor ev-bike will perform way better. Perhaps the TC-max or the new Stash would be better.

      Yes, kerosene cleans chains, metal engine parts and many other oily parts wonderfully well and works fantastically with non o-ring chains. Unfortunately, the kerosene drys out the o-ring and the ring perishes over time. Also the kerosene works its way between the ring and the inner factory grease packed link which eats away at the grease.

    How are you geting that much range. Moast I got was 72km and 18% left in battery.

    • @DistantSuns
      @DistantSuns 6 месяцев назад

      It's a combination of a few things. a - I plan my route so not to use fast straight roads. Mostly narrow low speed roads. b - I try to plan the trip so any uphill parts are at the beginning and I loop around and come back on flatter roads. c - I try not to use the brakes if possible. They scrub off too much speed and you have to accelerate again quickly which uses a lot of energy. I normally feather the rear brake only. d - When you're stopped or going very slowly, accelerate slowly to get up to speed. Don't twist the throttle full. e - Temperature, Anything over 25 to 35 degrees is the batteries sweet spot. After charging the batteries I use the bike immediately. If I can't, I turn off the circuit breaker and switch it back on when I'm ready to ride. If I could just pick two things from the above, I would choose lower speeds and slow smooth acceleration. But all of the above things help add to the extended range.

    Am I correct that the current TC Wanderer is delivered with a 10A charger so no need to replace it or would a 15A do a noticeable better job. Would it be possible to use a 30A charger as well? Looking into the TC Wanderer for commuting (total daily ride of 25 kms) and I have to say, your channel is making all the difference! Thank your for these informative videos!

    • @DistantSuns
      @DistantSuns 6 месяцев назад

      Thanks very much for the kind words. Yes, in Europe the wanderer comes with a 10A charger so no need to replace it. If you would like a faster time you could upgrade to a 12 or 15A charger from the same maker. To work out your charging time divide your battery ampere hour by the charging current. 32ah/10A=3.2 hours or 32ah/15A=2.1 hours. Add a little extra time for the BMS to balance the cells at the end but it’s roughly around those times.

      Besides the poor metal quality, I think the very hard rear suspension helped contribute to the failure. Yes just a quick check every few months should be enough.

    Thank you very much for the video! It’s a pleasure to use these footrests, I don’t understand, now the control has reached a new level, you no longer need to fight discomfort. I also note that on new versions the fastening will have to be modified, since the distance at the footrests fastenings has become smaller.

      It's out of warranty so it's up to me to resolve the issue. I recommend that you check your swingarm every few months. Your swingarm may have come from a different metal batch and not have the same problem.

Bei mir wackelt das hintere Federbein im unteren Auge. Es ist eine M12 Schraube verbaut. Also kann doch nur die Buchse vom Federbein zu groß sein?

      0% SOC to full takes about 3.2 hours for one battery and 6.4 hours for two batteries. If you use the 12amp charger made by the same company you can expect around 2.6 hours for each battery.

    Have you any idea about rear suspension upgrade for this bike?

    • @DistantSuns
      @DistantSuns 6 месяцев назад

      Well, the short answer is no. I do however think about this every time I ride it. The problem is that the design is fundamentally flawed. A monoshock is not the right selection for a rear hub motor because of weight, rotational mass and down force for traction. A dual rear shock system is best for this configuration. My dilemma is, do I want to buy an expensive monoshock and get the same results or modify a dual rear shock swingarm from a petrol engine bike that will 100% fix the issue but lose some of the bike's visual design characteristics. I'm still undecided...

    I am looking to get backinto bikes again after a 20 year break, had big ish bikes before and really interested in electric, super soca seems a bit too slow for what I want but the new one does 58mph I believe? That mght just be enough for me tbh for local riding, cheap and chearful and good way to get back into it, however I am very tempted to buy a used zero sr and have a LOT more power just because its fun lol. If my area was like where you are riding there I would be happy to ride a super soco though. Thanks for sharing , looked like a great ride out. I love my Ebikes that I built and the frey ex that I bought used for off road adventures. 2 wheels are sooooo much more fun than 4 right?

    • @DistantSuns

      Thanks for watching my video. The new Super Soco (now called Vmoto) TC Wanderer Pro has a 5.2kw motor and has a reasonable amount of power on the flat and narrow curvy roads. This EV has a two battery option which I recommend strongly, one battery isn't enough. People that have never ridden a bike before will be quite satisfied with its performance; However, You have ridden larger petrol engine bikes. I think after a few months of riding especially up hills, you will find this bike underwhelming. I also have a Surron that I modified to 10.2kw. This is a fantastic bike to ride at this power range. I recommend you take the TC Wanderer Pro for a test ride (up hills if possible) at see if 5.2kw is good for you. Vmoto released a new model called the "Stash" it is very much like the Zero (not in the same league) but styling, range and performance are very good. That may be better for you. Finally in any brand of EV bike I think 10kw and a minimum of a 60ah battery is best. My TC wanderer has 64ah (Two batteries) and my Surron has a 70ah battery. I get 130km on the Surron and 100-110km on the Wanderer in summer. I hope this helps. Cheers and happy riding.

      Thanks for the question. The actual GPR muffler is a "slip-on" at the end of the factory Honda extractors. The original catalytic converter and O2 sensor remain untouched. The Honda is actuality Euro 5 complainant.The exhaust gas emissions are the same with the GPR muffler fitted.
