Wow that tool looks great, nice job! It would have come in handy a couple of months back tho 😅. Still, good to know that i can get one from your link next time
@@rodintoulouse3054 There's some EBC ones that will fit the front caliper. Not sure about the back. I'll have to look up the part number for the EBC ones. Not done mine yet.
I see, have they simply reached the mileage where replacement is due, or is there another reason? I ask because I have a TC Max with about 3k miles on it, it has a slight vibration at low speed high torque that I am trying to figure out.
I believe so, i checked it following your other excellent video, it was quite slack and tightening it made a difference to the feel of the bike, but didn't stop the noise. The noise only happens in wet weather and is hard to reproduce as it needs both wet weather and resistance to the motor (it doesn't happen when the bike is on stands) sounds like a subway train pulling away up to about 10mph then nothing at speed. I'm not overly worried about it, just curious if this one in the video was being replaced for reasons other than mileage on the off chance it was being noisy like mine. Thanks for again for both videos.
@@robertstothard9583 That's weird. Sounds like you might be in the right area if it changes in the wet. My bike makes a bit of a clicky noise from the belt. Never had any vibration though on any of the bikes I've ridden.
Hi, do you replace both pulleys and belt at the same time or just the front pulley? Where do you buy all of the parts from? On another note, took the battery out and fully charged it in my house, so cold weather not an issue. Not been able to get out since then so about 4-5weeks Put battery in yesterday and it's showing 87%! A loss of 13% in 4-5weeks! That sounds high to me what do you think? Cheers
Hi, yes you should replace belt and pulleys together. I get my parts direct from vmoto. Just send them an email if you don't have a local dealer. That seems a lot of self discharge given you removed it from the bike. I have my spare battery charged to around 50% and it hardly loses anything. I've left it for months before. Maybe try 50% and monitor what it does?
@@thecapacitator8137 why do you recommend here to replace the rear pulley? You mean the front pulley since that one should be replaced once the belt is changed, right? I thought the rear pulley hardly never needs replacement. I need to change my belt since I lost a few teeth. So I'm looking into what to do. 1. Got a new belt from aliexpress 2. Need to get a front pulley 3. I'm thinking about getting your tool for removing the front pulley 4. Get a few extra tools and this app which you recommended in the other video for setting the belt tension
No, sorry I'm not sure what the bolts should be torqued to. It might be worth emailing super soco China. They gave me info about belt tension. Let me know if you find out 👍
@@thecapacitator8137did you manage to get any info about the rear pulley? I'm also needing to replace the full set and don't have any info about the rear pulley
@@thecapacitator8137 Thanks for replying, I am also having a problem with the batteries and contacting vmoto. I have an old style square headed connector which doesn't fit the new round headed connector on the batteries. I thought I could open my new battery and change it to a square headed one, but the components are glued together, unlike the batteries with square headed connectors. Vmoto are also terrible at replying to text messages, emails and rarely answer their phones. Dan at Vmoto keeps directing me to my nearest dealerships to change my battery connectors, but two of them keep saying they won't do it...whereas Vmoto, someone called Jenna, told me they will get back to me in a couple of days and it's been a week. Can you offer advice or help to change old style square connectors to the newer round headed ones? I know I'll need a new charger too, thanks!
@@thecapacitator8137 yes that's right! But vmoto and dealerships have warned me not to open my battery or change connectors and will not fit 3rd party parts in case of any risks. I still would like to try, but I'm not very experienced and worry about buying the wrong parts etc. What would you recommend, do you have any links for guides or all the correct parts please??
By the way there is this spanish guy (i think he is from Ecuador?) That changed his tc max from belt drive to chain drive, if possible i would love to hear your take on such a conversion. I think his channel is called "el dario ev"
Think I've seen it. An advantage could be the ability to change the gear ratio. I can't really think of any others. Belt is quieter, lasts longer, has minimal maintenance and is much cleaner.
Totally out of context but I have a question for everyone who might know why… My supersoco tsx just doesn’t start anymore… Battery is 100% charger gives me a green light, sometimes it starts up for 3 seconds and just turns off agaim

Thank you very much! Don’t have to do it yet, but I really appreciate your content.
Thanks for your support 👍
@@thecapacitator8137 have you changed brake pads yet? My turn into soap when it rain and i am trying to find alternatives to the OEM.

Hi, great videos on the tc max. I'm curious as to why you are replacing the belt.
Hi, I'm not replacing my belt. I had somebody else's bike in that needed a new belt. That's why I made the tool.
I see, have they simply reached the mileage where replacement is due, or is there another reason? I ask because I have a TC Max with about 3k miles on it, it has a slight vibration at low speed high torque that I am trying to figure out.
@@robertstothard9583 It had reached mileage to replace it. Have you got your belt tensioned correctly?
I believe so, i checked it following your other excellent video, it was quite slack and tightening it made a difference to the feel of the bike, but didn't stop the noise.

How many km (or miles) before to have to change the belt?
Should last 15k miles or so.
@@thecapacitator8137 Thanks! It cheaper than maintaining a bike .
@@gammacount1328 Yeah it's super cheap to run.

Don't charge to 100% if not using the battery
Hi I have to put a new belt on as mine as snapped… what’s the easiest way to put the new one on?
Take the back wheel out and replace the rear pulley. Then follow this video. Then fit the new belt.

@@fishermans1friend Generally it's recommended to change the whole lot together. The tool makes it a lot easier to get the nut torqued up properly.
What about the rear pulley? Do you have any specifications for it? I want to replace it

@@stevengarzon5576 Try sending Super Soco China an email. They should have the info you need. Otherwise you could try your local importer.

Hello I just found your channel Im looking into wich e motor I want to buy would you recommend your bike (I like to ride year around in any condition)
I ride mine year round. I did a review here:
