Definitely worth upgrading to the torp motor if you are planning a battery upgrade. The increase in power it offers will be insane i cant wait to try it with a 72v!!

The bigger the gauge on the cable, the more amps it can run as it can handle the heat. Amps are what generate heat; more amps - more heat - thicker cable

Interesting that is! You could always replace the chain side with another belt drive, i’ve seen people do that on surrons before and it does make it quieter but obviously more potential for another belt to snap.

If you want even more power the sotion godmode has a 13000rpm max that also costs around the same, i believe its the absolute best other than the 1500$+ ko motors

You can indeed, the facts on the stock motor stated in this video are the rated specs, just basically means that is the advised power ratings. They can be ran a lot higher but with risk of damaging the motor. Same for the specs on the Torp motor in this video. They can be ran a lot higher but they are not rated or warranted for those higher powers!🔋⚡️

Hey Matt, i run the same setup: Torp Motor, Torp tc500, Warp9Primary chain, modified stronger jackshaft. Now when the new battery is comming (72V 50ah bms with 450A) i have to change the cables and the breaker. Do you have a good idea about the breaker?

So I have the belt drive on my surron, which I believe was a mistake! But was it easy to go from a belt to a chain with what u bought for it? Please I need some help with this question! I'm worried I screwed myself having the belt drive installed first 😢

@mattfrancisofficial

3 ай бұрын

Hey man, do not worry at all about the belt drive. It is more than capable of handling a lot of the stick the surron will go through. In the near 2 years of owning my bike i’ve replaced 1 belt due to snapping and that was from a few days of constantly doing big jumps!! Like anything it will need replacing over time and will be prone to wear and tear but it is far from a regular problem. The chain drive is an option for people who upgrade the power of the bike massively and constantly ride rough rocky terrain and do insanely big jumps. The chain conversion kit is fairly easy to install if you did want to change it but both belt and chain drive have pro’s and con’s!! You definitely have not screwed yourself over with the belt drive mate. If they weren’t up to the task of being on a surron they wouldn’t of made this the main drive!! Hope this gives you peace of mind🙌🏻🔋⚡️

Call it copying if you like but it’s just inspiration to me. The whole world is full of it. Everyone has their interests and everyone has their favourite people inside of those interests who inspire them to do what they do! It literally says in my instagram bio “inspired➡️inspiring.” Look at all the musicians in world, they’re all just imitating and taking inspiration from their favourite musicians, same for acting, same for sports and it’s the same for businesses. I have the same helmet as surronster because I like it, it’s also a very cheap and common helmet and the best looking matte black helmet i could find. I wear a helmet in my videos to cover my face to hide my identity and not take away the main point of the videos, which is not myself its the surron and upgrading and riding it!! I use the same gopro set up because it works the best, looks the best and is easy to have set up without chest mounts or other mounts and allows a microphone to be used without cables hanging everywhere!!! If you think surronster was the first person to do it like this then go look at other motovlogs, its a set up that has been used since the first ever gopro’s way before surronster!! I wear white shoes because I own a lot of white shoes and they were an old pair i didn’t mind beating up when riding! None of this is done to “copy” surronster and surronster himself has messaged me telling me to carry on what i’m doing and keep the content coming, he isn’t bothered by it and he said he “doesn’t own the look” and if anything he is glad he has inspired me to make surron content. I was doing KZread way before having a surron (the videos are now set to private so only i can view them as they are irrelevant to my current content.) You say it’s lazy but you dont realise how much time, effort and graft goes into planning, filming and editing these videos. I get this type of comment so much and honestly I couldn’t give a shit. I’m happy making videos on my surron and i’m happy with the way I do it. It has given me opportunities in life that i never would have dreamed of getting, it makes me money for doing something I love and keeps me motivated and inspired to do better for myself. Call it “lazy” call it “copying” call it whatever you like but at the end of the day i’m not going to let some random guy put me down because he left a daft comment on my video. If you dont like it and dont rate it, simply don’t support it, don’t subscribe to my channel and go watch some surronster videos. Focus on yourself and how you live your life and let me do me, whatever that is that i want to do. Im going to keep blasting out videos the way i’m happy filming and editing them and watching myself and the channel grow. Peace and love, thanks for watching.
