Yes, I removed all the other pins and kept pin 3 only ( plus the big main round + and - pins. It was much easier to plug in that way.

@DistantSuns thank you, im having to do this cause my charger isnt working and there is no where to buy a replacement charger, love that someone is actually showing what to do

@@LordPineapps You're welcome!

I'll be doing a full ride impressions video soon.

I think you’ll be quite surprised by the quantity of parts and performance.

Thanks for watching the video. The data is recorded in real time and then synced up in post using software called "Telemetry data overlay".

Thanks very much for your kind comments. This bike has two batteries giving me a total of 64Ah and I can get 100km (62miles) in summer. The stash has a 94Ah battery and provided you’re not riding on straight fast roads, lower speed narrow and curvy roads, you could easly do 100 miles.

Two batteries, Winter about 55km/h, Summer about 65-70km/h. Uphill takeaway about 5km/h. The stash won’t have those limitations.

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. I also recommend you watch this video from Fortnine about chain cleaners. ua-cam.com/video/UrEpAUi_QKA/v-deo.html

@@DistantSuns Thank you Sir

I use "Brake" cleaner, in other words, a freon based cleaner that I spray onto a cloth and then wipe the cloth across the chain.

Hi, this is a very sensible question. It makes perfect sense to install crash guards. I'm afraid the side cover mounting screws are not suitable for mounting any guard, they can’t support the bike weight. Also there is no exposed frame for mounting the guards either. Let me have a close look at my Wanderer and I’ll let you know if something is possible.

I'm thinking of slide guards which is just a stick poking out, and there are some online that claims to be universal, but I'm not sure if all screws are the same or where would be effective.

@@lamalvin5689 I know what you mean about the side guards. Those types of "Stick" guards mount on the engine mounting bolts that go through the frame of engine based mototbikes. The TC Wanderer doesn’t have that type of frame. I don’t think there is a way of mounting them or any other type of guard to this type of design.

Wow😃

Thank you for watching.

I'm happy you could enjoy the video, thanks for watching.

Thanks very much 👌

I got it from Aliexpress aliexpi.com/ko6i

Thank very much, I'll be taking it out for a good run today

The owners really do a great job of customizing their bikes here in Japan. Thanks for watching.

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.

I did, it was very cold.

I'm sorry about the background audio. If you have any questions about Super Soco, please ask me anytime.

@@DistantSuns Is it 45Kmh or70 Kmh model?

@@private_tokios It's the 70 Kmh model. In Japan there is no 45 Kmh models.

Yes, the TC Wanderer and the Street Hunter share the same battery

@@DistantSuns use this battery is it want system update

@@tharindra-dz2mw No, after you install the plug on the new charger, just plug it in and start charging.

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.

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.

Thanks!

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.

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...

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.

Thank you for watching my video. Yes, they are the stock tyres. Front 100/80-17, Rear 120/80-17. Cheers.

@@DistantSuns I have ordered a Super Soco TC-Max and it just arrived today. The stock tyres that came with my bike appear to be different than yours (90/80-17 front and 120/70-17 rear). I'm thinking of upgrading to the same tyres as yours (or something similar). May I ask what BRAND tyres are they? Thank you.

@@grandpabrogan No problem, They are Chinese made "Cordial" tyres that came with the bike. I don't recommend them because of the hybrid trend pattern they are very noisy. I recommend the Bridgestone Motorcycle Tire BATTLAX BT-39 Front 100/80-17 and the matching rear 120/70-17. You need to check that the 100mm front tyre will fit in your front forks and importantly not touch the inside of the front mudguard. Thanks.

@@DistantSuns Yes, mine are Cordial tyres too. I'll look into the Battlax BT-39 Bridgestones. Thank you again!

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.

@@DistantSuns Oh Okay thats clear Tha k you !

Thank you!* :)

Actually It comes with two db killers, one at the base and one for the end. You can choose both, either end or none. I chose the db killer at the base. It's a good balance between sound and volume. Deep sound, happy neighbors 🙂

@@DistantSuns very nice!

No problem, Green is the Negative wire. Apply +12v to the following wires... Brown = 6 LED running lights. Blue = Bottom low-beam LED. White = Top Hi-beam LED. I have my running LEDs (brown wire) wired so when the ignition switch is on they are always on. The Hi and Low beams are wired through a switch. Hope this helps, Cheers and safe riding.

@@DistantSunsTy we will give this a try ty

Thanks very much and thanks for watching 👌

I was surprised too. The stock one does sound good.

Thank you for watching and glad you enjoyed it.

No Problem, I made the printout myself. The wiring harness under the seat has labels for each of the wires. The communications labels have 485A and 485B printed on them. Thanks for watching my videos

Your Welcome and thanks for watching.

The 2017 in Japan

I think so too🙂

Thank you for subscribing, much appreciated. Your bike (the L1j) is a little bit difficult to get batteries for because of the 50.4V / 20.3Ah system that model runs. Firstly there are no Surron battery makers in Japan. I ordered my battery from chibattery systems in America chibatterysystems.com/collections/sur-ron-60v/products/gladiator60touring a few years ago when the Japanese yen was strong against the US dollar. My Surron is the L1e and uses a 60v 32Ah battery (from the factory) I first upgraded my battery to the 70Ah for more range and later my controller for more power. I think it might be possible to upgrade your bike to an L1e spec (keeping the 50cc number) by replacing the battery and controller to a 60v system. You would be looking at a price of about 30,0000 yen. What is your budget?

@@DistantSuns Thank you for the reply, still have not made the purchase, I also want L1e but I am stuck with the L1j as I only have car license. I also do not have the fixed budget yet, but 30,0000 yen is as close as the bike price. I think I might go with the stock for some time and then upgrade slowly if I feel the need. the other option I had to solve my range issue was Honda Cross Cub 50cc. what are your thoughts about it as I see on your channel you have a good experience with variety of bikes. Also, I found many videos where people in unlocking the bike by Surron controller programming by pressing the break combinations or by cutting the green/black wire, will that work on Japanese models?

@@sujitchachad You can programme the bike from the brake levers, I have the settings in a file somewhere. You won’t get any range increase however. My guess is @ 20Ah you would get about 30km (15km each way). If you get a Honda cross cub with its 4.3L tank you'll get at least 300km. The power is slightly down on the Cross cub but it has gears (4 speed) to make up for it. I recommend you buy a second hand (used) Cross cub for about 20,0000 yen. In the future get yourself a 125cc license because there is a much wider range of 125cc class bikes in both EV and Petrol engines.

The ring of fire.

Hey thx for commenting

They are keepers. Most owners hold onto them and if they're in the market for another bike they'll buy it and keep both.

Hello there, I think you may have inadvertently mixed up the Super Soco models. The TC Wanderer has a 2.5kw hub motor and can cruse quite happily at 65km/h. Depending on your road conditions you can achieve 50km with one battery or 100km with two batteries (64Ah). The Super Soco TC only has a 1.5kw motor and does around 40km/h; it also has a slightly smaller battery. If you’re interested in more speed then the new TC Wanderer Pro maybe worth a look. It has a 5.2kw hub motor and a much faster cursing speed. You can also look at the TC max with a centre motor, its 5.2kw also and it has lots of aftermarket upgrade options on Aliexpress. I recommend you have a look at some of my other videos about the Super Soco TC Wanderer. I have done all sorts of different testing. Thanks very much.

@@DistantSuns the Wanderer, I do not see it on the Swedish websites… they got Max but that is not a moped but a motorcycle here that need motorcycle license… the Wanderer, is that a moped or a Motorcycle? Thanks for getting back to me!

@@SimplicityForGood The TC Wanderer and TC Wanderer Pro as well as the TS Street Hunter and Pro versions are all classed as 125cc. In Japan 50cc is classed as a Moped and you can use your car licence. 51cc to 125cc you need a limited motorcycle licence. This is different in many countries. Many countries allow up to 125cc with a car licence. I don't know about Sweeden.

@@DistantSuns I see! Unfortunately Sweden changed the laws now so only 50cc is allowed on your car license, my parents car license however let them drive heavy motorcycles 😂 but they never rid one in their lives!

@@SimplicityForGood They missed the best happiest of their lives 😄

it does look fantastic when you’re viewing it live

I only saw them in the moonlight and it was partial :(
