Recommended Gearing and Settings for Optimal Performance
Gearing choices depend on the type of terrain:
-
Off-road with 18” wheels: 58T-64T for top speeds of up to 75 MPH
-
Off-road with 16” wheels: 54T-58T
-
Off-road with 17” wheels: 56T-60T
For maximum torque off-road, choose the largest sprocket suitable for the rear wheel. For higher top speeds, use a smaller sprocket. On a 400 Amp BMS 20S/22S battery with the EBMX X-9000 controller, phase amp settings range from 800 to 1000, with power outputs between 20 kW and 30 kW. Setting field weakening to 0% can increase range by up to 15%.
Why the XLB-60 RACE Motor Is Best for Experienced Riders
With extreme speed and power, the XLB-60 RACE motor can reach rotor speeds of up to 14,000 RPM and power outputs exceeding 42 kW. Such high performance requires skilled handling and appropriate bike upgrades (brakes, suspension, tires). This motor is designed for riders who are looking for race-level performance and have the experience to manage the rapid acceleration and high heat generated by the motor safely.
Where to Find Compatible Kits and Support for the XLB-60 RACE Motor
The EBMX XLB-60 RACE motor is compatible with the Surron Light Bee and E-Ride Pro models when using specific mounts and wiring harnesses. It pairs best with the EBMX X-9000 controller, which optimizes power delivery and RPM control.
Riders can seek professional installation, advice, and support from Surron Dubai, the official dealer in the UAE. Surron Dubai provides expert service, genuine parts, and maintenance for high-performance electric bike components, including the XLB-60 RACE motor.
How the EBMX Rotor Design Extends Torque Across RPM Ranges
The EBMX motor uses a custom rotor design that extends the torque band, maintaining consistent pulling force from 0 to 13,000 RPM. This allows for smoother power delivery across various riding conditions—whether on technical trails, motocross tracks, or drag racing events. This extended torque curve contributes to improved acceleration and control, ensuring optimal performance in any situation.
Safety Considerations for the XLB-60 RACE Motor
Due to the motor's extreme speed and power, several safety upgrades are necessary. Riders should consider upgrading their bike’s brakes, tires, and suspension to handle the increased forces. Protective gear and adherence to local off-road regulations are also important for safety.
Effective heat management is crucial. While the motor features air-cooling and high-temperature windings rated at 180°C, monitoring the motor's temperature during use is recommended to avoid overheating during intense riding sessions.
Can the XLB-60 RACE Motor Improve Riding Range Without Sacrificing Speed?
Yes, adjusting the EBMX X-9000 controller’s field weakening to 0% can increase the riding range by up to 15% without sacrificing speed. This adjustment is particularly useful when using a 64T sprocket and a 72V battery, allowing riders to customize their bike’s setup for longer off-road rides while maintaining high performance.
Expert Opinion from Surron
“The EBMX XLB-60 RACE motor is a game-changer for riders looking to upgrade their Surron Light Bee or similar models into serious off-road machines. Its combination of high torque and high RPM capabilities makes it a perfect match for Surron’s lightweight chassis. However, pairing this motor upgrade with necessary mechanical enhancements like brakes, tires, and suspension is crucial for ensuring both safety and performance. At Surron Dubai, we help riders optimize their bikes, making them race-ready while ensuring reliability.”
