hi guys,
in on this topic you can tell your pros and cons about your super soco.
Use the example like down under in 3-3 lines.
Heres mine :
pros :
- It’s a nice bike
- The acceleration is fast
- it’s gets a lot of attention
cons :
- range is not the greatest.
- loss of power when braking
- terrible customer service of vmoto.
Pros:
relatively cheap
nimble about traffic
good looking
light.. you can pick it up and move it!
don’t need a licence to run it in restricted mode (and no real way to tell if you have been ‘naughty’)
cons:
Throttle rattles and feels flimsy
horrendously slow to accelerate
Throttle cuts out at inconvenient moments
brakes noisey and cheap feeling
Dangerously slow on an incline or into a headwind
if regen exists I can’t notice it
The app availability being ‘glossed over’ by the manufacturer while they release new bikes
A decent ‘gateway drug’ into motorcycling but not a long term prospect for me. I’m afraid it’s going soon as I can get an FXS delivered. Good idea but poorly executed in some crucial areas
I would look at this slightly differently
pros :
- It’s a nice looking bike
- the top speed (de-restricted) is fast enough for commuting
- it gets a lot of attention
cons :
- The acceleration is poor. In fact once you've got away from the lights you have zero control over acceleration, and just have to wait for the bike to pick up speed
- loss of power occasionally after coasting. This feels like the restriction kicking in, even though the bike is de-restricted. I'm going to try de-restricting the bike again to see if that fixes this.
- No hard copy manual
pros :
- Looks awesome - Lots of attention/compliments
- Generally the going speed for commuting in London is fine (on downhill or flat roads ONLY)
- Minimal maintenance
cons :
- Acceleration from traffic lights (Every bike including little 50cc's are quicker off the mark)
- Acceleration in general
- Acceleration & uphill speed is really starting to bother me! - My commute is generally flat except for 1 mile worth of hill I live on, so going to work is fine downhill, it is coming home leaves you disheartened when you're holding up traffic going up a medium hill, and petrol 50cc mopeds are overtaking you.
---------------------
The acceleration is bothering me so much that I will need to trade-in/sell my TC for the TC Max (But I am still trying to find was acceleration is like for the TC-Max in comparison to the standard TC) - if all else fails I'll pay the money and go over the top and get a Zero FXS
As someone looking to buy a TC this is great to read from current owners. Thanks for the post - I'm wondering now how to unrestrict it already and I don't even own one yet ?
