My Experience with the Super Soco TC Max: From Electric to Petrol

[@giorgioTT88]

Great video. May i ask you to compare tc max and the cb125r in terms of torque/power and acceleration? Also which one of these 2 is better going uphill. Thank you in advance.

[@bradams4866]

Does this bike have the option for 2 batteries? I think previous models did but I can't find anyone mentioning it about this bike

[@artistaradventures]

thanks for watching / commenting. As far as I know it only has the one battery, buy you could in theory own two and swap them in / out as needed 👍 🏍

[@bradams4866]

​@@artistaradventures One other thing, on their website they claim the bike has a range of 110km but they did put an astrix next to it. Does this mean your only going to get that range at the lowest speed?

[@albertkafif5072]

The other models come with smaller batteries so it can fit 2 in the compartment and you can switch off. this model has one large battery

[@axelpervolianinen8857]

It is possible to assemble your own battery or buy a ready-made one with a larger capacity. In England, the owner of a super soco tc max did this.

Nice, I recommend you make a community discord server for UK motorcycling? There seems to be a big lack of UK riding discords, maybe you could start a movement? Overall great content and keep it up.

[@artistaradventures]

thanks for the kind words, and good idea bud! Def something I'd like to look into more. Happy riding 🏍

@@artistaradventures You too mate, On my CBT right now with my A2 hopefully coming this May. I noticed you're a CBT rider as well? Was wondering what age group you fit in?

[@artistaradventures]

good luck! I was on the CBT when I filmed this video (used some old clips) :) I'm over 24 so have been able to go through the Direct Access Scheme route to get the full licence near the end of last year. I think I would have done the same as you and gone for A2 if I couldn't do DAS. Hope it all goes well, I have a vid on my Mod 2 test experience which could be useful, also working on a Mod 1 video that should be uploaded before end of March

[@andyfidler8544]

The mirrors look different (in a better way) than the round one's I've seen in other videos. Much better looking. Is this a recent change? Seems like a nice reasonably priced electric bike but some practical issues for commuting purposes - windshield and storage. I do see you can buy windshields for them and a top box, too.

[@artistaradventures]

Hi thanks for watching and commenting. This was filmed a few years back but it was a new model at the time :) I had good fun with it, great for city riding and short trips but not ideal if you want to go on longer rides, happy riding 🏍️

Well I was going to ask where are you when I saw all that colourful graffiti but when you went into the tunnel I thought it was the rabbit holes in Birmingham then I saw some of the buildings you can see from the A38. So I'm going to say Birmingham. Did you visit Cadbury world? 👍🤣🤣I see a lot of sense in having an electric bike, especially as a commuter. Our experience with an electric car over the last 18 months shows they are viable, still shockingly low range though compared with electric cars and I'd expect it to be more. I thought the bike here sounded just fine although not sure about the tune to start with, now maybe if you could choose the track...One question though, knowing the acceleration of electric power is the power delivery mapped to help stop wheel spin on slippery surfaces when setting off or is it just gauged by the rider? Did you notice any issues when you had yours? Liked your review. Ride safe, as always.

[@artistaradventures]

that's right, I was in Birmingham! Graffiti bit was in Digbeth 🏍 haha I should have gone to Cadbury world! 😂 What electric car have you got? hmm good question. I think it's gauged by the rider, there are three driving modes though that limit the speed and change the responsiveness of the accelerator (I forgot about that when making the review 😂 😅) I didn't notice any issues with that side of things luckily, although I think I managed to dodge the rain most of the time luckily. Happy riding!

@@artistaradventures Electric car is the extended range all wheel drive Ford Mustang about 500hp 0-60 in 5 seconds! For those that want the acceleration of a motorbike but in the comfort of a car. It is in a very rare blue colour that was discontinued before the car was on sale here, however there is an identical one in Bakewell area, but there will be no more. Best range so far 345 miles. However minus temperatures see that down to less than 200. It is good to have a choice for bad weather like my Humber Bridge video from a couple of days ago. 😉🤣🤣🤣🤣P.S. I like that Happy riding sign off, so Happy riding yourself.🏍🏍👍👍

[@artistaradventures]

Nice!! I have seen one driving around Bakewell in a light blue kind of colour actually 🚙 👀

[@cloudmaker]

@@artistaradventures It changes the shade of blue dependent on the angle you see it at and the light.

[@lilynorthover8378]

Interesting review. So it sounds like an electric train set?😂😂😂😂 They are no replacement for the ice bikes because of the range. Unfortunately the government has no idea what motorcycling is about.

[@artistaradventures]

ahah yes it does! 😂 great description 😂 🏍 yeah range is a big drawback

[@sobek]

Electric motorbikes sound interesting but pretty expensive for an 11kw / 15hp bike

[@artistaradventures]

yeah I think it's the batteries that are the most expensive part 🏍️⚡️ good fun to ride

[@sobek]

@@artistaradventures yeh, I drive works electric cars sometimes and that instant power is fun, so I can imagine the same on a motorbike

[@artistaradventures]

nice! yeah it was so nippy 😂
